  • Middle Aged Woman of Filipino Origin: Trauma Bond with Claire Luisa
    Jun 29 2026

    Gemini season may be dunzo, but we got a breath of fresh air (sign) coming through your speakers because Claire Luisa is in the house. In between bites of butter, this Trader Joe's bag lady breaks down the emotional toll of working at Disney World on 9/11, being a gay for guns, and the trench warfare of acting. Come for Claire's goofiness, and you'll fall in love with her expansive understanding of how denial is one hell of a drug. What was it that Steve Lacy said? Oh yeah, Gemini Rights.

    Claire is a queer Filipino-American writer, standup, retired rapper, weird aunt, adhd goblin, Gemini, and lady in waiting to an elderly Chihuahua. You can follow her @claireluisabiz
