Strangers In A Tangled Wilderness 3: Dandelion
Inmn Neruin:
Hello and welcome to Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness...the podcast. I’m your host Inmn Neruin and I use They/them pronouns . Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness is a collectively run publisher dedicated to producing and curating inclusive and intersectional culture informed by anarchistic ideals. This can include stories, fiction, poetry, memoir, non-fiction, theater pieces, comics, books, pop culture analysis, recipes, music, history, podcasts...and occasionally essays and theory. We are looking for content that doesn’t know where it fits in, for people that don’t know where they fit in.
On this podcast we have audio versions of our monthly featured zine read by a brilliant voice actor along with interviews with the author. If you would like to hold in your hands a hard copy of our monthly feature, please consider subscribing to our Patreon where you will be mailed a lovely zine once a month along with other occasional other remedies. Our Patreon helps make things like this podcast possible as well as supporting other podcasts we put out like Live Like The World Is Dying. It also helps us pay authors of the monthly features, transcribers, artists, editors and translators. So if you like what you hear, please consider subscribing at Patreon.com/strangersinatangledwilderness. If you would like to submit a piece that you think would cure our need for entertainment, please visit Tangledwilderness.org for our submission guidelines!
This month, we do not have an audio recording of the monthly feature. Instead we bring to you an in-depth interview with Celeste Inez Mathilda of Liminal Spaces about their zine Taraxcum Officianale: Dandelion: Break the Binary. We talk a lot about plants, uses of Dandlions and Celeste’s views on plants and forming relationships with them. If you would like to read the zine and aren’t a Patreon subscriber, a digital version can be found for free on our website at http://tangledwilderness.org. I had so much fun talking to Celeste about plants. Also this was my first real interview as the interviewer so you can delight in me being awkward. There’s so much information in the zine that we don’t have time to cover. So please check out the zine and Celeste’s lovely accompanying artwork out on our website.
Inmn Neruin:
That was Celeste Inez Mathilda on dandelions and forming relationships with plants. If you enjoyed the zine on Dandelions, Celeste has an entire series of similar style zines for plants including Wild Rose, Stinging Nettle, and Echinacea. You can find them all on Celeste’s Etsy shop liminalspacesshop.etsy.com. You can also find Celeste on instagram @liminal.spaces.shop or their Patreon page: patreon.com/liminalspaces If you want a hard copy of the dandelions zine you can also find it in their shop. And if you do visit those places, you will also get to see that Celeste is a wonderful print maker and makes cool patches.
Thanks so much for listening. If you enjoyed this podcast please go tell someone about it. Whisper its name in their ear, put it on on a road trip, write a review and plant it in the ground, bind its name to a dandelion puff before blowing its seeds to the winds, wondering what strange fruit it may bear. If you would like to support us as well as the authors, translators, editors and artists that we work with please consider subscribing to our Patreon. Subscribers receive at different levels: access to digital copies of our archived zines and features, digital copies of new work, Patreon-only content, discounts of printed work and monthly printed copies of our featured zine mailed to you along with whatever else we feel like that month. You can find us at Patreon.com/strangersinatangledwilderness or check out our website for more free content, including blogposts, zines, books, games, comics, how-to guides and other works we have to distribute. We can be found at TangledWilderness.org or check us out on twitter @Tangledwild. And as always, if you don’t want to or can’t contribute financially please rate and review us, and tell a friend. We like having friends. You do incredible things that we are endlessly marveled by. We would especially like to thank these friends: Mikki, Nicole, David, Dana, Chelsea, Micaiah, Staro, Jenipher, Eleanor, Natalie, Kirk, Hugh, Nora, Sam, Chris, and Hoss the dog for making this podcast and so many other projects possible. If you feel like a stranger that would like to find their story a home in this tangled wilderness consider submitting it; the pages are hungry.
Next month, we bring to you “Exclusion,” a short story by Bella Hangnail, an exploration of trauma and nuclear fallout. Stay well. We hope you come back.
