#1 Just Stuff!
no thoughts, just stuff Wednesday! Weeeee
Weeee! Today, no thoughts, it is just stuff!! (I just thought of this, and I’m loving it lol) It’s going to be all the amazing pods and reads I consumed this past 2weeks or so. Can I just say…over achiever’s who wants you to do the same… are honestly so overbearing. Give us space!
Pods 🎤
-The Vanishing Half Book Club. by Bad on Paper
I want to know if other people do this as well. I have a rigorous routine at the moment which, I read a book, and then search for a podcast about the book and most of time, there are some good pods that is doing a bookclub episode. I just finished reading the Vanishing half and Bad on Paper did an episode on it. I must say, I related deeply on something with one of the hosts said. It was a discussion about the ending. Well, tiny spoiler alert! the ending of the book was not tied up in a bow as a happy ending. I love endings that are not happy endings, and the hosts made me realize for this one in particular, the characters in the book didn’t set themselves up as ‘well rounded people’, it made sense that some characters in the book didn’t do something at the end that we wanted them to do or if anything what they ‘should’ have done. I love listening to podcasts about books that I read SO MUCH, because you get new realizations about the book!
-Ghosts Bookclub by bad on Paper
While I was on Bad on Paper, I found that they did one on Ghosts. AND YOU KNOW, if it’s my girl Dolly, I’m listening. I heard a bookclub by Shameless before (love these Aussie girls <3) that they’ve done about Ghosts. If you listen to both of them, both podcasts mentions similar but different points about the book so that’s also very interesting.
-Death, Sex and Money Series Hard
this one was about Erectile Dysfunction!! It was so beautifully spoken and interviewed when the topic is sensitive and challenges the mental courage of men. It was so nice how the host interviewed variety of people about experiencing ED.
-Talk Easy, Poet Rupi Kaur is Here to Stay
We love a poem from Rupi Kaur! I have her poem hung in my hallway.I had no idea she was the same age as I was, and can I just say….Talk easy honestly is such a great interview podcast. Sam Fragoso I think is so young? Maybe like the same age around mine? He interview’s like Cate Blanchette. (that interview is amazing.) I recommend to have a listen about a wholesome interview if you are interested in constructive and very smart conversations.
In recent news about abortions… I found this one by the one and only and it was aspiring to say the least. (i mean how does he get Gloria Steinem as a guest!)
Not going to even talk about the man, but this podcast is a huge reccc! I love it so much! let me just say this about the man. Most women do not benefit from Elon Musk, only white men. He has so many white male advocates, and it’s just so ick, I’m over him.
So much podcasts! I can’t get enough! Let me know if you liked any of them.

-The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennet
I loved it! I heard when it came out, it was the best book of the year? I wasn’t into it that much, but I loved how you can follow the characters by age from the 50s-90s. The ending was also so understandable. Of course! I don’t know how authors can be so real and smart about their characters.
-Donate to an Abortion Fund Right Now by CUT
not only this news was upsetting to most women in the world, it made me so fucking sad. The women before us has done SO MUCH. like SO MUCH to not make this happen, and somehow it did. The article was so informative in where to help as well.
-just screenshots but a piece about abortion from Caitlin Moran. Imagine enforcing fatherhood on fathers and the backlash and the steps will be taken to prevent that immediately …?
TV📺
-Stath Lets Flats
This is on Channel4. Holly fuck lol It’s so funny. I love the actor Jamie Demetriou. It reminded me of like those dumb characters like Jaremy in peepshow or The Young Offenders. Both UK shows. I must say, I love a little UK humor. The show recently won a BAFTA for male performance in comedy.
