Just wanted to say thank you for not acknowledging Chris Pratt. He’s ‘handsome’, I guess. But something seems off about him to me.

This is VERY old (just assume all these Asks are 😩) but we are so glad you SEE us, Anon. 😂

We do not acknowledge that Chris in our Thirst Palace. 🤝

#reblogging for no special reason whatsoever #(omg HI THIRST-BUCKETS how you doin'?)

THIRST AID KIT | S6E13 | GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD THIRST

And… SCENE. *deep bow* 

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. That’s right, we did it, folks: we’ve decided to wrap up Thirst Aid Kit as a weekly podcast. 

We want to thank you — all of you — 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! 😆). 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. 

Thank you letting us share our thoughts, our expertise, our knowledge, our analysis, and our laughter with you — 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 heartfelt “bitch..!” with us (well, with Bim, because NICHOLE 😂). Thank you for being giddy with us whenever we landed a celebrity Thirst Object  and also... for noticing when we asked them the questions you wanted answers to. 👀 

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 this 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. 

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 we’re 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? Wouldn’t that be nice! What we’re 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! 😃) 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 we’re up to and where. This isn’t the end, but we will miss you. 

You can listen to the whole episode RIGHT HERE (more ways to listen are listed below).

You guys were the catalyst for my very recent Keanu obsession and for that, I feel I must thank you. I’ve watched 5 of his movies in the last two weeks, I regret nothing and I plan on watching even more in the coming weeks. Truly, I thank you two.

Love this for you, youboughtmeawall! 

You’re welcome. ❤️

I want to thank you for including The Vicar of Dibley in your last episode. I know it wasn't really as a thirst object but she was for me. Dawn French in that role was one of my first celeb crushes where I realized not only was I bi but I liked people on the bigger end of the spectrum. and seeing other people like her as well (people like Mr Armitage!) made me feel ok about it in a world where that was not the norm. Love you and love the podcast!!

Another very old Ask for which we apologize, Anon, but thank you for sending us down this specific avenue of thirst. We love a tale of self-discovery and ownership! 🥰

We might have a little rewatch of this seminal series now! 💙

CHRIS PANG?!?

You appear to be in Thirst Distress, Anon. But we get why! 🥵

[thirstaidkitpodcast]

are you guys thirsty over any musicians? pls feel free to share 😅

Hi, Anon!

We’ve covered a fair few musicians! If you listen to the episode where we plotted Nichole’s Thirst DNA, it was FULL of musicians, 🎸 including Maxwell, Al B. Sure! and... Prince!

You can listen to that whole episode here.

We also talk about Hozier in this episode, And, finally, if you have a Slate Plus subscription, you can also listen to Nichole’s attempt to bring Bim onside with her Hozier crush! That’s after the main episode and found here.

“Is there anything you wish you could be better at? I wish I were better at being decisive. I mull things over for far too long. It goes across the board, from not deciding which job to do to not being able to choose what I want in a restaurant. There are many things I’d change, but that’s a big one.”

Hello! Just a quick note to say that I stumbled upon your podcast and instantly fell in love. I’m on the younger side and hearing others openly thirst after people has just made it less shameful? Idk how to phrase it but thank you so much for this podcast (that Sebastian Stan episode *sighs with giddy relief* you two Get It) I hope you both are doing great!!

Sorry for getting this Ask literally more than a year later but smilesandsarcasm12, thank you for sending it in all that time ago!

Happy that you found us, and that we helped you get to a nicer place in your journey. Hope you have stayed in that healthy lane. 💙

I'm majorly obsessing over Nick Kroll atm & I get so sad because no one I know knows who he is & when I show them they just say "Oh" so I always feel alone with this crush. But whatever, more of this hairy chested, big blue eyed, big lipped, short, funny, adorable man for me. 😭

Lean in, misha-colons! 

Own your joy. 💙
