#58 Robbie Lockie: Being Nonbinary, Navigating Climate Grief, And Building Courage

Unruly Podcast

Today we sit down the with creative, compassionate, and talented Robbie Lockie to discuss the parallels of queerness and veganism, explore why language is so important, and contemplate how gender is more of a galaxy, rather than a spectrum. We take a walk back in time to learn about what Robbie's childhood was like growing up in Zimbabwe with their beloved rat named Mushroom, discuss the moment that Robbie got fired from their job for practicing individuality, and hear why Plant Based News was such a needed source of information in today's world. Robbie also shares with us their profound experience that they had while using psilocybin, and what that intense and beautiful moment taught them about climate grief. Robbie offers up a remedy and way for dealing with grief that is important of us all: finding, building, and passing on courage whenever possible. “Grief and sorrow are natural parts of life. Whether the beauty and majesty of this world lasts another day or another six centuries, the fact that it has existed at all is a gift. No matter how long we have, no matter long the animals have, no matter how long the biosphere has, every single day counts.” Calen's vegan & queer-friendly guide to England and Wales: https://wanderwoman.online/index.php/unrulystore/Unruly-2-Week-Road-Trip-Itinerary-for-England-&-Wales-eBook-p496497076 Explore the new "veganism" section on the Unruly blog: https://wanderwoman.online/index.php/tag/veganism/ Plant Based News: https://plantbasednews.org Robbie’s AI art page on IG: @justunrealpeople / https://www.instagram.com/justunrealpeople/ Follow Robbie on IG: @robbie_lockie / https://www.instagram.com/robbie_lockie/ Buy the Unruly Travel Guide: wanderwoman.online/index.php/unrulystore/ Unruly Travel & Living Blog: wanderwoman.online Unruly email newsletter: https://buff.ly/4a1bPwT Join the Unruly Podcast on Patreon: www.patreon.com/unrulytravel The Travel Blog: UnrulyTravel.com Unruly Travellers Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/unrulytravellers/ Contact: [e-mail] Unruly Instagram: www.instagram.com/unruly_traveller/
