"y'all why is shrek the superior rom com?" a conversation about "bad" rom-coms
It's that time again! For those unaware, it's that time me and Zo rant about rom-coms and the many implications of them for an hour and you all listen. Hope y'all are still 'in the mood for love' (please go watch that movie and have your brain rewired) because in this episode, we get into our least favorite rom-coms, tropes, and why Cameron Diaz should've gotten the FUCK away from that white man in 'My Best friend's wedding'. Also if there's anything to learn from this episode is that Shrek is the superior rom-com (and Aurelise forgot to mention "Something Borrowed" (2011) sucks).

"I love me a tummy..respectfully": BBL SZA and Body Dysmorphia
Welcome to episode one of our thoughts and feelings corner! a continuous series where we're just gonna be sitting and chatting about how something things make us feel, it'll be less academic in nature and more engaging with our senses and observations. The intention of this episode was to discuss our feelings around the larger conversation of body dysmorphia and the role it plays in society. In this ep, we get into beauty standards, youth, and Ariana Grande for some reason a lil bit (we love you mother).
