007. Thriving, Not Just Surviving with StarlitDeath Artwork

Rad Chats

The Universe is composed of competing and complementary forces, sometimes known as light and dark, sun and moon, radical and calm; without one the other does not exist. For every radical action, we need an equally calm reaction. Let’s normalize the conversation around mental health from the jump, not just around PTSD. Let’s glorify the ways we center ourselves, just as much as we glorify the ways in which we send it.

007. Thriving, Not Just Surviving with StarlitDeath

April 27, 2022 • Radical is Calm

What’s good community? I’ve been itching to release this week’s episode for a while now, as we’re talking with one of my favorite people in the 2A space, Starlitdeath.

In a world filled with fakes, Star pretends to be no one but herself. As she puts it, Starlitdeath is a “sort of mental health, cosplay, gun guru person”. I don’t know if there’s anyone better at blending their various interests into one cohesive, functioning image.

It’s this unique blend of self-ownership from Star that inspired what would become the Mental Monday posts on our Instagram, which in turn inspired this podcast.

Every week you can find Star sharing different aspects of her interests–one day it could be a video from her competition shooting, and the next you could see Star finding a way to connect cosplay to mental health, all while providing easily-digestible context and practicals to better oneself.

Our rad chat was just about as diverse as both of our interests, as Star and I get into everything from gear and cosplay, to 45 vs 9 mil, the challenges around battling the stigma of being a 2A supporter, and even dive into some heavier stuff at the end.
