if every social media platform ends up being bad vibes/ refusing to look out for its users then we’re going to have to just go round someone’s house and say all of our posts

probably the only person to experience this but i’m feeling pretty tired as the end of the year approaches. little interest in working. emotionally quite fraught. again this likely makes no sense

This little girl, she's actually an activist. She knew.

Well, it's solidarity, isn't it? She did an olfactory ethics.”

In this week’s main chunky friday episode: fast fashion on the red carpet (relatable or ridiculous?) the PHD pile-on (stupid men hate smart woman & water goes on being wet) & Julia Fox’s guide to being a freak (is freaky the new eccentric?) Listen wherever you get your podcasts!

Screenshot of my podcast tile- myself and my two millennial cohosts lie on the floor and stare at the camera. The title of the episode is Fashion Awards, PHD Gate and Julia Fox’s guide to being a freak.

“Some Twitter news now, and I apologize in advance. The worst people on Elon Musk's Godforsaken app have chosen their latest victim. A Cambridge based teacher and recent Cambridge PHD grad, Dr. Ally Louk has gone viral after posting a photo to celebrate passing her PHD VIVA, which is an oral exam in front of a panel of academic experts.”

my brother took his dog home. don’t text x

A photo of me, 31 year old white woman with medium length blonde-brown hair wearing black leggings and a striped white and red sweater, holding a miniature schnauzer on my lap while we sit on a bright orange sofa. He has his head cocked & gazing up and I am looking at him.

Talked about PCOS, endometriosis. PMDD & egg freezing on today’s mid week ep of Everything Is Content. Why does every woman have a story about being dismissed by a doctor & why is so much of our care reliant on persistence and personal research? open.spotify.com/episode/48vj...

anyway I ran around on the beach today with a dog. you can’t argue with that

A Welsh beach in the winter- wet sand, green hills and a cottage in the distance, blue sky peeking through clouds.

Grey-green craggy rocks surrounded by water. In the background the choppy sea and headland.

2025 better be good i sweater GOD

A scene from excellent sketch show I Think You Should Leave: a man lays his head in his arms on a conference table as he says “I’m just, like, the tiredest I’ve ever been in my life”. He also is concealing a hot dog in his sleeve that he is eating secretly but that’s not relevant for my purposes.

if you’re a fan of the pod or just extremely opinionated & knowledgeable about pop culture & love throwing in your two cents: we read listener opinions on our Wednesday episodes. just follow us on IG @ everythingiscontentpod (ideally today 👀 )

I think musical theatre fans need to be more patient with the rest of us just now learning about Wicked. they’re forty years old, go to Shiz university and a goat is the best teacher. it’s beautiful. give us a minute

Brand new midweek episode of the podcast where we discuss if the criticism of Sabrina Carpenter as a “sexy baby” who scares teenagers is fair or childish. Listen wherever you get your podcasts! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/e...

Tweet by pop fan account: You guys are disgusting and weird for defending a literal weirdo. I’m 17 and AFRAID of Sabrina Carpwnter when she’s performing. You guys need help

was a bit worried I wouldn’t understand what was happening in Wicked but luckily a couple sitting next to me narrated the entire film. a relief all round

cat or cat shaped black hole? you decide.

My legs in grey tracksuit trousers extended on a grey sofa, a black cat asleep along my legs, looking like a void where a cat should be.

look who came to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @mr-bingo.bsky.social

31 year old me, crouching on a mossy rock surrounded by fir trees. It’s a grey and wet day. I’m wearing a light blue hiking jacket, black trousers and boots, plus a pair of pink tinted sunglasses. My hair is tied back, my face turned to one side, my left hand smoothing my hair.

Black and white photo of two people in the pub. On the left, Mr Bingo sips from a full pint glass. On the right I hold a tall glass of gin and tonic. We are both in big comfy jumpers. Between us a fire.

from today’s paid substack post called 90%. bethmccoll.substack.com/p/90?utm_cam...

I expect I will feel younger next June than I do right now. The ending of this year is playing tricks. 90% done and what have I done with it? 90% of all those days and did I really just move in with my parents, feel frighteningly depressed and end my relationship? 90% done and should it be this hard to list the achievements? This is depression talking directly through my fingertips and I am doing my best to talk back. What’s the meme of the man in the hospital bed? I survived bitch, or something like that? Well, same.
