Was just waiting in a long line at the passport office and decided to use that time to make my friend and I a road trip playlist for our upcoming trip to Seattle this weekend. It was awesome because I listened to some of my favourite songs while thinking about what new songs I could add and what I thought she'd like. It passed the time so quickly and I was bopping along in line having such fun. Definitely recommend!!

📽Support our independent cinema screens!! I am a Londoner so I have memberships with BFI, Prince Charles and Picturehouse and it is totally worth it, especially as watching movies takes up a good chunk of my personality and I dislike watching things at home. Advanced screenings, access to smaller films, discounted tickets are all great but it’s also just nice to support these places who do so much in preserving the British independent film scene which is currently in an abysmal state. Curzon, Everyman, The Garden, Genesis, ICA and many more are also all great and I would be members of them all if I could. Big up BFI especially because I probably wouldn’t have got as far in both my career and love of film without them, and the Northampton Filmhouse in my hometown which was my first independent cinema.
These are of course London based examples but I encourage everyone to support their local independents 🫶🏻

🎥The best movie theater in New York seats 35. See a movie here you know nothing about and you will be inspired. For me most recently it was a screening of Dave Wascavage’s Suburban Sasquatch. Simple Town has been lucky enough to play videos here twice. The first night was packed, the second night we sold two tickets, and both nights were perfect.

🎞The best $25 I spend every month. Literally pays for itself if you see one movie
plus if I see a bad movie I don’t feel like I wasted money

🔫I think if you're in a position to quit your job and rest/work on something you care about, I would do it. That kind of opportunity doesn't come often, and most people will never have it. I'd say especially if you're facing chronic pain or having doctors order you to rest, you'll only regret NOT resting and prioritising your health. Capitalism continues to win when we work our entire lives away.

📚This might be old news to some but if you're someone who likes to track their reading I highly recommend Storygraph. They provide you with much more interesting data about your reading habits (graphs!) are Black woman founded and run, not affiliated at all with amazon like Goodreads is, and have a more interactive rating system that gives better insight than just stars. What's even better is they have a way to import your goodreads data if you already feel invested in that app.
Divest from amazon and delete ur goodreads!! :) :)

Side project by Alice Phoebe Lou, just saw her perform last week and it took my breath away. This is her funkier side.
