i found the discussion of permanence at the beginning super interesting because I actually feel somewhat the opposite in that i have a huge fear of change and i really value stability in my life - like when I value something/attach significance to it I never want it to go away/change. but i have been trying to learn to embrace uncertainty and change and accept the fact that the only constant in life is change!

[@kathrynbrodie82]

Love the David Graeber quote you shared, " The ultimate, hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently"- Wow, that's powerful. I'll have to look into more of his work!

[@symbioticmango]

100000%, rest his soul we lost him too soon.

[@Katherout]

hiiiiighly recommend bullshit jobs and the dawn of everything by him 🙂‍↕️

[@kgsheldo]

Anyone with an ounce of life experience knows that nothing is permanent or guaranteed. And its that underlying truth that reminds us to be grateful and in awe of what “is” now because it will never be that way again.

Hey Katherine. I’m a few years younger than you. I just turned 25 and I’ve been subscribed since I was 14. Everytime I rediscover and I watch your videos, I relate to you so much. Wishing you the best and keep doing your thing!

[@Hachiko888]

Also, in regards to tracking your period, I have found that when I was tracking my basal body temperature (BBT) I could tell the day before when it was going to start (body temperature drops). When you look into more details of the menstrual cycle you come to realize that it can only progress through certain phases after certain things have happened and some of these are observable in one form or another (cervical mucus quality, body temperature, personality symptoms, etc.) I know you said you had some irregularities with your cycle, but I don't think that would completely exclude you from these indicators either.

[@mermaidmoon420]

yes! Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler is a great book on this

[@LaurenLiz]

I find not knowing what is coming to be a fun and alluring experience. Anything can happen if nothing is certain❤

[@Katherout]

RIGHTTTTTTT

[@downrightlili]

Definitely a great conversation. One nugget I would add is that how we feel is something that is ever-changing as well. How you feel about permanence, whether you are committed to something can also change.

[@darbi464]

i’ve been preoccupied with facilitating a circle for the artist’s way - inspired in gratitude by the work we did last year! had way more people interested than i anticipated (13 people in my living room every week holy shit!) and it has been delightful to experience such intimate and vulnerable synchronicities and reckonings that pals are sharing!

[@Katherout]

DUUUUUUUDE darbi im so glad to hear it!!! passing the torch and seeing it burn bright is why i do it 🫶🏻

[@saydiewithay]

in love with your editing style and the thoughts you have to share with the world

[@Katherout]

[@oliviaharmer7300]

a similar mantra for me lately is "stability is an illusion". any kind of instability can feel like an assault on our sense of well-being but I'm learning to build a centered relationship with myself that I can tap into when things are fucking crazy (which they are) life is not a problem to be solved but a mystery to be lived

[@Katherout]

A MYSTERY TO BE LIVED!!!! love that

[@zuzkamala1240]

After last weeks podkath I was thinking I want some more, should I rewatch every single video you have and then a new one apears, I am so rdy 🥰(Omg the lil reminder before commenting, cuuute)

[@Katherout]

YESSSSSS more to come 🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@justinemard]

The B roll is always 🤌

[@Katherout]

THANK UUUUUUUU it takes so long to import and select i'm always hoping ppl are watching and not just listening

[@mermaidmoon420]

I totally relate to wanting facial hair sometimes but not wanting to start t. Also this got me thinking, you'd be a lovely drag king 🧔‍♂💅

[@Katherout]

i really have not been a patron of drag arts too MUCH i need to see what's up cause i love wearing my mustache wig

[@sylviaodhner]

"For those of us that free bleed" - this comment makes me curious but I don't want to pry too much into personal details. I feel a lot of this video.

[@lyserberg]

Kat's storytelling is so fucking peak.

[@caoimhe1212]

entirely obsessed with the song at the start of this video! and YES permanence is a fallacy

[@emishiba]

@caoimhe1212 pretty sure the song is called Low Key Gliding, by Hal Walker

[@Soleil-vk9ts]

I've been preoccupied with the fact that i wonder if I'll ever feel like i belong somewhere, like I'm not a burden. Will i ever accept to be loved ? Also preoccupied by the fact that I am supposed to see my therapist on monday and i am scared to tell her the truth on how i feel. Also preoccupied about the fact that i am about to have my period... except that I'll be singing on stage this Saturday. So this is stressful!

[@Katherout]

let the singing HEAL u and let your therapist receive u as u ARE!!!! those are my wishes to u stranger

[@Soleil-vk9ts]

@Katherout thank you

[@heather6404]

Life in my 20s was mostly spent single attempting to 'find' myself. Life in my 30s is so much calmer, my days are spent more intentionally and it feels so good

[@Katherout]

lovvvvvvve that

[@GnomieTheHomie]

gurrrl you're a visionary and an artist 👁🌻🫂🧚✨🔮🌞🌜🌀💫

[@Katherout]

with these emojis i can tell you are too

[@cchip4660]

Was that deception pass at the start of the vid? Such an underrated spot ❤

[@Katherout]

yeassss good eye!

[@ingrid8313]

What a word! 🙌

[@JaynaFeldman]

so unrelated but Kath please drop the curl routine. Your curls looked so good in that ad that I am running to purchase deodorant. (???)

[@Katherout]

it’s on my tiktok! it’s the same except now i don’t brush style i just do mousse after cream and scrunch and let it air dry

[@CarolineCalcote]

Totally get it. I wanted a tattoo my whole life but didn’t feel grown up enough to do it until I was 55. Now as a senior citizen, I am not so scared of the “permanence”. It’s not that long now lmao

[@Katherout]

omggggg i can see this for myself

[@Lion_McLionhead]

12:55 shame on the fool who left a plastic bag on the ground.

[@symbioticmango]

more and more anarchist sentiment seems to ooze more out of your videos over time :)

[@Katherout]

well yes!

[@Summer77-z2n]

[@Hachiko888]

All these thoughts about non-permanence and liquid identities are the same concepts you arrive at with mindfulness and meditation. Such as recognition of the true nature of thoughts and what consciousness is. If you haven't looked into these yet they might answer a lot for you. I'd leave you with this to start, Where do your thoughts come from? They seem to just appear. You know just as well what I'm going to say next as you do what your next thought is. Which is you don't, until you do. Given this, how can you center an actual idea of a "self" when you don't even know where it's coming from?
