    We talk about the pieces of art, words, and media we treat like modern scriptures—the things we return to for comfort, clarity, or direction. From poems to fashion shows, we unpack what grounds us.

    May 23 2025

    We talk about the pressure young women are facing to get (and stay) skinny, how thinness became politicized and how fascism preys on women's self-doubt to keep us in line.
