there's a lot going on in the world

hi hi hi sisters ♡

welcome back to a new week! if you are new, i’m so happy to have you, you can look at old newsletters by clicking here for the archive ◡̈

there is a lot going on in the world right now, and I know we can all feel overwhelmed with the news and sad events happening. I really went back and forth on whether I should take this time to talk about the conflict going on in the Middle East or not, but right now I think people could use a 5 min email not thinking about it. ive cut out a lot of portions of the email this week as I am in the middle of midterms and am very overwhelmed with a lot right now.

movies: watched Sleeping Beauty this weekend, wow that is one of the most gorgeous disney films ever. the colors are stunning and I think the art is just breathtaking, I really enjoyed watching this

podcasts: listened to a super fascinating interview done by Emma Chamberlain with Amanda Montell, a linguist who studies cults and cult language, I thought it was such a great interview. I think linguists are some of the most fascinating people and I really enjoyed it

I would highly encourage everyone to research what is going on and try to better understand the complexities that are happening. if you have the resources to do so, I recommend sending money to give aid to the individuals that are suffering without food and water, but if you can’t do that, please read what you can to understand why there are so many layers to this.

send out good vibes to everyone suffering and the human lives that are being lost because of all of this.
