(SOIL) Sister Texas Hotbox Wants to Send You a Letter

Times are rough right now. You know what might help? A little piece of uplifting mail from a SOIL Sister of Perpetual Indulgence who wants you to know that they care. Sister Texas Hotbox had such a good time doing winter holiday cards, they are starting up a spring holiday card tradition. Personalized messages to individuals who sign up—first come, first serve until they reach their limit.

You can enter your information at the QR link below or by following this link: Spring Holiday Card Sign-Up. Entries due by April 10th. Neither Sister Hotbox not the SOIL Sisters will keep your information or use it for any other reason than to send you some affirming mail.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Sister Hotbox back in October about their winter holiday project. You can catch that episode here (it is in the back half of the episode): Leaning into the Holidays.

The Sister Mission is to “Spread Universal Joy and Expiate Stigmatic Guilt.” USAmerica ain’t making that an easy mission to pursue lately, but SOIL Sisters are persistent! Thank you, Sister Hotbox, for keeping this going!

Instead, we will continue with our planned interviews with members of two LGBTQ advocating organizations in Southern Illinois. We consider the Miller story on-going and more of a disturbing and deliberate distraction than something worthy, at this point, of on-air commentary. What is emerging appears to be a concerted effort by right-wing operatives to use this story to focus criticism on SIUC...

IIQ Producer and Co-Host’s Community Service Recognized with SIU Lindell W. Sturgis Award

It is with a deep sense of honor and gratitude that I receive the 2025 Lindell W. Sturgis Award from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. Details of why I am the recipient of the award are included in local media stories, such as this one at The Southern Illinoisan .  The award recognizes outstanding community service provided by an SIUC employee. I am involved in a number community advocacy initiatives, but the ones principally recognized by this award include: producing the community radio broadcast/podcast Isn’t it Queer ; being a founding member and current treasurer of the SOIL Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence ; being a founding member and workshop facilitator of The Beloved Puppetistas and the annual All Species Parade on Earth Day; leadership and convener roles for Gay Spirit Visions . To be honest, given the current political climate and the Federal turn against DEI, particularly queer and trans people, I thought the nomination for the award was a long shot. Southe...
