Mal Wright has been on our wishlist for a minute, and shooting our shot finally paid off.

| Anti-Ellie (w/Amber Abundance) I Episode 274 | 22 Sep 2025 | 01:15:23 | |
This week on Bad Queers, Kris teaches us “H&H” (high and horny) while Shana breaks down “homo fomo.” Then we’re joined by storyteller, filmmaker, and writer Amber J. Phillips known as Amber Abundance — aka your fave fat Black queer femme auntie from the Midwest. We catch up with Amber on everything from launching her Substack Toxic Femininity (yes, it’s giving Black femme scripture) to building Ample World. We get into Black queer femmes choosing desire instead of waiting to be chosen, why “straight-passing” is a trash term, and what it takes to silence the fed in your head. Plus: breakup dates are not closure, successful u-haulers are the exception not the rule, studs deserve a little more shade, and Amber has one very real Bad Queer Opinion about Ellie blocking our view of the tall WNBA girlies. As always, we close with shoutouts — including Tracee Ellis Ross’ new travel show, the Youth Trans Emergency Project, and love to everyone at Black Star Film Fest. Shoutouts: Kris: Solo Traveling with Tracee Ellis Ross - Tracee’s new travel show on Roku Channel. She invites audiences to join her solo trips to Morocco, Mexico, and Spain.
