We’ve come a long way since the Sunday funnies. The hosts talk about their experiences [or lack thereof] when it comes to comic books. From the 50s to 80s Saturday morning cartoons and thru today, comic books have changed with the times. Graphic novels came along and the entertainment industry has made billions tapping into the 2D images and stories. It’s a nostalgia trip as they flip through the pages.

Landscape of Relationships: Relationships with Labels
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, it’s time for another Landscape of Relationships. Dr. Edward Angelini-Cooke returns for a discussion about the labels we use and ascribe in our relationships.
Labels are an abstract concept used to group people together based on a perceived set of identifiers or information.
We see labels in our description of our identities (e.g. gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality). They can also describe our relationship to something or something (e.g. brother, sister, Catholic, Liberal, Conservative).
In my field, I see labeling related to medical and mental health diagnoses (e.g. anxiety, depression, autism, cancer, heart disease, HIV).
These labels might be viewed positively or negatively or some other reaction, like fear or anger (e.g. addict).
Common labeling theories
Social Identity Theory (Tajfel and Turner, 1979) Our sense of self is determined by our membership to social groups. And our connection to groups is important to our self-esteem and pride.
Labeling Theory (Howard Becker, 1963) discusses how others label us can determine how we see ourselves and how we behave (e.g. fun, trustworthy, thief, depressed, difficult)
Labels can be limiting and do not fully capture the complex, diversity, and wholeness of humanity. This can then reinforce stereotypes and discrimination.
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, it’s time for another installment in the Let’s Talk About Kink series. The guys are joined again by Tony aka Cubziz to discuss uniforms. From military fatigues to sporty spandex, listen in as the cubs address the types of uniforms and give some advice on how to handle them in our current climate.
Show Topic
LTAK: Uniforms
The Let’s Talk About Kink series returns and we’re excited to welcome back Cubziz! In the Kink Community, uniforms hold a special place. We’ll be discussing the different types and their cultural references, especially in today’s age.
In Private: Enjoy the scene. Careful with pictures when taken OUT of that context.
In Closed Public: Go by expectations of the environment. For example, a BLUF bar night, a full cop uniform may be acceptable. Regular bar night, be very careful of other patrons. Unknown city bar night, keep that uniform at home.
In Open Public: VERY careful and always make sure it is known to be not authentic uniform for the role.
In Porn: Touchy. Depends on studio/audience. (i.e. Military porn studios usually won’t try to make things authentic, but just enough to be believable. But others, like “The Academy” strove for authenticity and their videos were geared more to fetish than sex.)
Things to note on uniforms:
Stolen Valor vs Impersonation
Authenticity (ties into BLUF) – Badges, Pins, Nameplates, Sashes
Generally major issues tie into Trust.
Know every piece and be able to explain.
The “Awkward” / Punishment / Self-Conscious Uniform

What’s Going On?
Jeff: Whooo are you? Who Who
Damon: Laying Low
Gary: Up, Down, and In-between
