I used “retirement” money so it’s definitely just a different form of indentured servitude I think 😭 but yeah, it’s genuinely so bad and people just do not even understand or care
I’m glad my credit is improved, but JFC we really need to talk about how our entire lending system is designed to fuck poor people & keep them in poverty.
It’s wild how much the amount of debt you hold affects your credit. I just paid some stuff off. My payment history, length of history, # of accounts, etc all stayed the same, but just paying those balances raised my credit by SEVENTY points 💀
Ooh for real. It’s definitely something I think he comes to learn, but yeah, he’s very unaware of the power he holds at this point for sure
I don’t talk about my love for Ryan Price enough which is really a shame because he’s so fucking special to me
Technology is a cruel beast & has slowed down the release of this week’s episode despite our best efforts. We have a LOT to say about I'll Believe in Anything, so we hope you'll enjoy it once we get it online at some point tomorrow!
Apologies for the delay, & enjoy this smooch in the meantime 😌
Hear that song & think about the deeply fucked up influence they had on women on a global scale. And he lives way way way too close to me.
Oh no! I haven’t heard anything negative about Jax! If anything, I have long loved the song as a callout of the toxicity. I just like… knowing that Epstein literally wouldn’t be the guy he is without Wexner & the connections between VS & all the shit he did… it’s so much more horrifying now to +

I keep learning about the connection between Jeffrey Epstein & Les Wexner (the CEO of VS among other things) and just… the abject horror
I live in Ohio & have known he’s super questionable for a while, but the stuff coming out lately is just beyond belief
Well I’ll never listen to Victoria’s Secret by Jax the same way again
I’ll just be honest, I had some real issues with this movie. There are definitely good aspects to it, and I was excited to watch something in a foreign language, but I really struggled overall with the presentation of queer women, and we definitely dug into that in this episode.
Without spoiling anything, I’m just gonna say I love Troy & his story is fascinating to me, & it’s primarily bc he’s such an asshole in this book & absolutely deserves to be disliked.
I love Ryan Price so much omg
Currently watching the latest season of Shoresy and honestly I couldn't be happier right now
“Hey Google, how do I put myself up for adoption?”
Seriously though, this episode is so delightful and George Grady is easily my favorite part!
Episode three is up!
As usual we could've kept talking for twice as long, but we restrained ourselves. Big thanks to everyone who's been listening btw!
Personally, I find the power dynamics to be so deeply compelling, because they aren’t what they first appear at all. Ilya might be in charge but Shane is the one with the power in this ep & it stuns me that ppl don’t realize that.
Speaking just for myself, I find this episode to be so strong! It’s paced beautifully, it’s so dynamic in terms of sound & visuals, it’s got such interesting story elements & so so so many layers! I’m obsessed!

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!!
Can you imagine if the show had stuck to its original release schedule & we were all processing this episode for the first time right now? 🙃
I’m so glad they bumped it up!!
"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants"
No you don't.
If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.
just reduced to the most disastrous, career-tanking job they ever took
I see what she's doing, but this is actually the most breathtakingly savage way to describe both Elon Musk AND Brett Ratner
smooch~
(never thought I'd be drawing hockey uniforms lol but here we are)

🤫 let me be proud of myself
Tbh this book is basically a fanfic lol
get up to in their personal time. I don’t get why anyone else cares either. As long as they’re not actively out here being shit human beings, I’m not concerned.
Probably bc it’s a cesspool lol
But no for real!! Also, maybe this makes me sound shitty, but I don’t get why ppl want to project the character relationships onto the actors. Like, frankly, I care far more about the characters & what I get on screen than I do about what ANY of them +
Finally forcing myself to read more things that aren’t fanfic & it’s been a DELIGHT
Sometimes I can't not think about how AI is literally just the next step in capitalizing on hyper-individualism.
We're taught to do everything on our own and then when we're suffering under the crushing weight of loneliness, we're told we can solve it by paying to talk to robots.
