🩵✨ THE HOST DISPATCH LIVES! We’re thrilled to be kicking off this season with a very special episode, a conversation with one of our all-time favorite creatures, heidi andrea restrepo rhodes! @vessels.we.are

🩵 heidi is the author of Wayward Creatures, which we had the privilege to publish in August of 2025. After a delightful set of readings and an incredible author panel to celebrate Wayward Creatures, we hopped on the mics to talk with heidi about the poet’s right to opacity, cultivating a perpetual curiosity, queer joy in the ocean, and much more! We’re so happy to be back, and we hope you enjoy the episode!

🥳 NEW EPISODE IS UP! 🥳

Celebrating National Poetry Month is an extra poignant episode for us this year, as it was this episode last year that was the last one we got to record with our beloved friend, Joe. We thought of him when we hit the mics to talk about two very ancient poems, and a handful of contemporary poems to see what we could learn. 💗

With “something old and something new,” it feels like we are transitioning into a new era of our little podcast, but we’ll always carry the memories of Joe with us. Man, he would have loved the weird poetry mashups we talked about on this episode! 🥲

We discovered some amazing poems this month, but we want to know what you’ve been reading, too! Let us know in the comments, and as always, thanks for listening 💗

비밀리에 인스타그램 스토리 보기

인스타그램 스토리 뷰어는 인스타그램 스토리, 비디오, 사진 또는 IGTV를 비밀리에 보고 저장할 수 있는 간단한 도구입니다. 이 서비스를 통해 콘텐츠를 다운로드하고 언제든지 오프라인으로 즐길 수 있습니다. 인스타그램에서 나중에 확인하고 싶은 흥미로운 콘텐츠를 찾거나 익명으로 스토리를 보고 싶다면, 우리 뷰어가 적합합니다. Anonstories는 신원을 숨길 수 있는 훌륭한 솔루션을 제공합니다. 인스타그램은 2023년 8월에 스토리 기능을 출시했으며, 이 기능은 흥미롭고 시간에 민감한 형식으로 빠르게 다른 플랫폼에 채택되었습니다. 스토리는 사용자가 텍스트, 이모지 또는 필터로 보강된 사진, 비디오 또는 셀카를 공유할 수 있게 해주며, 24시간 동안만 표시됩니다. 이 제한된 시간 동안 높은 참여를 유도하며 일반 게시물보다 더 많은 반응을 얻을 수 있습니다. 오늘날 스토리는 소셜 미디어에서 연결하고 소통하는 가장 인기 있는 방법 중 하나입니다. 그러나 스토리를 볼 때, 제작자는 자신의 뷰어 목록에서 당신의 이름을 볼 수 있으며, 이는 개인 정보 보호에 대한 우려를 일으킬 수 있습니다. 만약 스토리를 아무도 모르게 탐색하고 싶다면? 그때 Anonstories가 유용해집니다. 이 도구는 신원을 드러내지 않고 공개된 인스타그램 콘텐츠를 볼 수 있게 해줍니다. 관심 있는 프로필의 사용자명을 입력하면 해당 프로필의 최신 스토리를 확인할 수 있습니다.
