Summary

A 100% canon adventure involving three best friends just as their adult lives are about to begin. "The Oldtown Trio," they call themselves, and they've been close for so long it seems like nothing could ever get in the way of them being friends forever. But something's been rubbing the Leader of the Gang, Mick Mercury, the wrong way for a few months now, and he's hoping one last big, exciting, completely-canon adventure will be just the thing to bring back the good old days. And it just might. If it doesn't kill them, first. Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your stay. (Trigger warnings can be found at the bottom of this episode description.)

0:00.0	Hello, travelers and happy holidays. Today's episode is our canonical Christmas special,
0:05.6	and then we're returning to our regular schedule with the next Juno episode in two weeks.
0:11.1	Before we get to the episode, though, I wanted to tell you about an amazing organization called
0:15.4	The Okra Project, which I hope you will consider supporting this holiday season.
0:20.0	The Okra Project is a grassroots collective dedicated to fighting food insecurity in the Black
0:24.9	Trans community. Black trans people must navigate the systemic inequalities that come with both
0:30.1	anti-black racism and transphobia, which leads to them having higher rates of homelessness,
0:34.9	unemployment, and food insecurity than the general population. The Okra Project aims to combat
0:39.9	this in a number of ways, including hiring black trans chefs to prepare free meals for black
0:44.8	trans people in New York City and Philadelphia, sending small grants to black trans people
0:49.5	anywhere in the world so they can buy groceries, and taking black trans people on theater outings
0:54.1	that they might not otherwise be able to experience, which is, of course, something really close to my heart.
0:59.1	You can find the Okra Project at the okraproject.com. That's THE-OKRA-PROJET.com,
1:08.7	or send donations to them directly at paypal.me-btsf. That's B as in beautiful, T as in trans, S as in
1:18.4	Sophie, and F as in fire. The Okra Project relies on community funds to stay afloat, so if you can,
1:24.5	I hope you'll consider donating. Have a happy rest of your year travelers, and enjoy the episode.
1:37.2	Ah, good evening, traveler, and welcome to the penumbrovy. Tonight's tale is
1:43.9	these make mercury and the night before.
2:06.0	So you guys, we just had to put our minds to it.
2:06.9	Like that time.
2:09.0	Like that time we went to the zoo and let out all the man eating it.
2:14.0	Get off of me, alright?
