The Creative Act was my first read of the year — Women Who Run with the Wolves is next! BTW, absolutely loved reading about the things you're looking forward to. I often feel ashamed wanting to watch programs like VPR or RHOBH because I keep thinking it's a poor use of my time or not enriching enough. But seeing someone as cultured and talented as you referencing them has made me change my mind and I realised this definitely doesn't have to define me, so THANK YOU! x

Yes!!! Unpopular opinion: SLC finale felt more wild to me than Scandoval, but could be how overdone that has become

I didn't watch VPR in its entirety until after Scandoval and missed the whole thing, so I agree!!! I am living for the memes this week

Same here, so that could also be it! Memes have been great, I saw a hilarious Saltburn one.

Recluse mode is my favorite mode after the hustle and bustle of the holidays. I will be starting a few books in 2024 because that’s how I roll (reading multiple books at a time). Every Good Endeavor by Tim Keller, Braiding sweet grass, and the subtle art of not giving a F*$CK 🤍

I’m jealous of those who can read multiple books at a time!
