In this episode, @tete.depunk and I interview C E Hoffman, the author of "Sluts and Whores."

“Sluts and Whores” is C’s debut collection of short stories and poems that challenge negative stereotypes of sex workers via a dark magical landscape. It was published by Thurston Howl Publications in 2021.

This powerfully-written collection is nearing its one-year anniversary so we’re going to discuss what it means to be successful. C covers how they’ve come to define success since publishing their work, while me and Tete touch on how Tapas has helped us define success. We also touch upon the ups and downs of publishing and promotions.

We explore how to get published in the following episode: https://youtu.be/pfftFOmG1Tc

Read the transcript of this video here.

In its upright form, the Emperor stands for authority, structure, and establishment. It also represents a father figure (which Joel later becomes, as we can see in the fantasy version of his story, "Scale, Blood & Bone" by @tete.depunk on Instagram - which you can read in the link in her bio).

As @tete.depunk and I have discussed, Joel is a man of authority. Although he's not in a position of power, he has a lot of convictions and beliefs that he holds firm to and won't budge from. He takes pride in establishing a structure for himself, although this structure can sometimes become too rigid for his own good...
