Walk in just about any clothing store and you’ll find a few things to be true: a “fat tax” is imposed, clothing can’t be mended to accommodate changing bodies, and fast fashion drives the bottom dollar.
Scroll through Rae Hill’s website and you’ll see the opposite: garments that can be altered, that are made to last, and break binaries.This business model is rare, but it’s the driving force behind Origami Customs.
In this episode Rae, the founder, shares about starting their business from a suitcase, lugging their sewing machine from one flight to another. We learn how travel impacted their gender identity and how they break down binaries even in LGBTQ+ spaces.
We also discuss:
- What “fat tax” is and how Origami Customs does it differently
- How the fashion industry based their standard sizes off small bodies (and how that impacts our mental health today)
- How scarcity mindset pushes us to support fast fashion and disposability culture
- How to do Black Friday differently, even if you’re not ready to boycott
- How to have an anti-capitalist business in an ultra capitalistic society
Throughout these important topics Calen and Rae weave messages of queer euphoria and joy, reminding folks of the cherished superpowers they possess. As a stressful holiday season descends upon us, let this be your reminder to keep building community and chosen family wherever you are.

83. Somatic Exercises For Anger Release With Kallie Klug
Feeling angry in 2025? Join the club. (No, seriously, we have some important things to discuss!)
In this episode we sit down with Kallie Klug to discuss all things anger: what it really is, what it does in the body, and what the hell to do with it once it’s here.
So many of us shy away from anger and even couple it with shame. Why? Suppressed anger can express itself as stomach issues, jaw and shoulder pain, and irritating chronic symptoms. In this episode Kallie teaches us how to have conversation with tension in our body, process full body rage and interpersonal rage, and tune into safety in difficult times — necessary skills for improving physical and mental health.
With studies showing that the prefrontal cortex shuts down during conflict, knowing how to take space and listen to your body is so important for effective communication and community building. This episode is for anyone who wants to improve their life by learning somatic exercises for anger, with specific tips for travelers and activists.
