Happy Pride Month!

Captain Rebecca’s Flight Simulator Adventure and How to Show Up as an Ally for Pride MonthJoy and “Captain Rebecca,” two licensed therapists, share recent adventures and connect them to mental health, belonging, and community. Rebecca describes an intense three-hour commercial flight simulator session with multiple takeoffs and landings, learning cockpit controls, autopilot dials, and procedures like V1 and flaps, gaining new respect for pilots and considering a future discovery flight; Joy shares exploring their new town’s historic downtown, trying matcha, finding art, and enjoying local treats. They encourage listeners to seek new experiences without overthinking and to create “core memories.” Honoring Pride Month, they recount Pride’s origins in the June 28, 1969 Stonewall Inn raids and subsequent 1970 commemorations, discuss current safety concerns, and outline ally actions: learn history, follow creators, show visible support, attend events, contact legislators, and use privilege to amplify unheard voices, citing resources like HRC, GLSEN, GLAAD, PFLAG, and the Trevor Project.00:00 Welcome to Laugh Cry Club00:20 Captain Rebecca Tease00:59 Flight Simulator Setup02:15 Cockpit Overwhelm and Vision03:11 Nathan Fielder Rehearsal Talk05:11 Aviation Communication Lessons07:01 Theranos Rumor Tangent08:00 Three Hours of Sim Anxiety09:25 Takeoffs Landings and Autopilot11:07 Do It Again Next Adventures11:34 Pilots Control Cabin Temp12:57 Say Yes to New Experiences14:14 Core Memories Peru Story14:44 Downtown Day Matcha and Art15:50 Matcha Caffeine Surprise16:35 Finding Art and Great Afternoon17:32 Old Meets New Downtown18:14 Moving Was Hard18:51 Why Pride Month Exists19:13 Stonewall Uprising Story21:39 Pride As Call To Action22:36 How To Be An Ally26:02 Show Up And Signal Safety29:37 Support Beyond Events30:48 Organizations And Resources33:56 Pride Joy And Farewell
