THIRST AID KIT | S6E13 | GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD THIRST
Andā¦ SCENE. *deep bow*Ā
We came, we ushered in a glorious age of elucidating female desire, coined a few salient expressions of desire, and poof! like magic, we were gone. Thatās right, we did it, folks: weāve decided to wrap up Thirst Aid Kit as a weekly podcast.Ā
We want to thank you ā all of you ā for your ears, your enthusiasm, your tweets, your sent-in drabbles, your Asks, your Thirst Sommelier requests, your marriage proposals (1) and your gifs. Thank you, even, for the requests (that we did/do no take! š). Thank you for allowing us to find a home on your podcast feed these past few years, thank you coming to our live shows both at home and abroad. Thank you for rocking with us when we lost our first home, and then GLEEFULLY welcoming us into our new one.Ā
Thank you letting us share our thoughts, our expertise, our knowledge, our analysis, and our laughter with you ā and in turn, thanks for sharing yours. Thank you for coming to the movie nights, and yelling out thirst at the screen with us and for gasping with delight and lust with us. Thank you for whispering a heartfeltĀ ābitch..!ā with us (well, with Bim, because NICHOLE š). Thank you for being giddy with us whenever we landed a celebrity Thirst ObjectĀ and also... for noticing when we asked them the questions you wanted answers to. šĀ
Thank you for letting us be Black women expressing Black joy, desire, pleasure and exhaustion. Thank you for allowing us to widen the understanding of what matters to Black women, besides the usual (narrow) diet we are fed. Thanks you to the producers and editors, the advertisers, the teams of people who made the show possible in all forms. Thank you, thirst-buckets. Thank you, friends.
Consider thisĀ final episode as a song of joyous gratitude and pride. Two Black women talking about female desire, race, and culture week in, week out? Yeah, we did THAT.Ā
WITH ALL THAT SAID... We do not think this is the end of Thirst Aid Kit! Yes, the weekly podcast has drawn to a close, but weāre hopefully not done with Thirst Aid Kit just yet. Once the world opens up again, we hope to be there: movie nights, live shows, maybe even a live tour? Wouldnāt that be nice! What weāre saying is: STAY TUNED.
But please do not despair. (also important to note: this was OUR decision; no need to start any campaigns to save us! š) This is just a perfect example of one door closing in a mansion full of other doors and windows. The weekly podcast is ending, but we remain. Keep an eye on our Twitter and Tumblr for updates on what weāre up to and where. This isnāt the end, but we will miss you.Ā
