Going back and reminiscing on old internet phenomena that probably felt like such a big deal whenever it happened until we collectively forgot about it is always a fun time. Also if you’re on video essay youtube, Maia AKA Broey Deschanel is one of the hosts.
Honorable Mention: Normal Gossip (link)
Sooooo funny. I love the tea especially if I don’t have to deal with the drama lmao. My favorite episodes are Ready to be Bunco-fied (S6 E4) and Spot the Scammer (S1E8)

I’ve been trying to watch Spike Lee’s “Girl 6“ for literal years and I finally got to watch it on this website. They’ve got a ton of rare, out of print, or otherwise hard to find movies available online.

Not a perfect movie by any means but every time I watch it I feel better haha. The song WILL get stuck in your head for a few days without fail. It’s available on Hulu now.

I’m a merchandise designer for bands and my small dream is to see someone I don’t know wearing something I designed, even better if it’s not at that band’s concert. Not sure whether I would say anything to them about it or just keep it to myself
