Issue #43: Ah yeah!
Sparkling drinks, charitable Pride collections, and the return of polka dots.
Have you ever seen a shirt and just related it to it on a deeply personal level?
That’s essentially been my motto for the last few weeks.
Life is good, y’all! Even if it seems impossible to get there sometimes.
But now I’m getting sappy, so I better just get to today’s issue instead.
Let’s jump to it!
Watch 📺 The Ultimatum: Queer Love
What could be better than the first season of The Ultimatum? Well, anything, actually. But we try not to acknowledge its existence here. This season, unlike its predecessor, is fantastic. It combines the perfect amount of love, drama, and satisfying villain-bashing. Highly recommend it for your weekend binge-watching session!
Make 🍋 Sparkling Cantaloupe Lemonade
Do I even need to say anything besides that these look absolutely delicious and amazing in every way?
Read 💻 ‘Sickfluencers’: Why Are People Faking Illnesses on TikTok?
When an influencer announced she was terminally ill, and then popped back up online, she lit a touchpaper of fury.
When real life seems more like a Black Mirror episode, you know it’s a weird time.
Buy 💸 Silver Bio-Active Immune Support
I am not a “health nut” by any means, but after getting sick roughly 5 times in the last few months, I just had to do something about it. A fellow teacher recommended this stuff and I was skeptical, but gave it a try. I won’t say that it’s a miracle worker, but I will say that I haven’t gotten sick or even started to feel sick since using it. So without jinxing it, I’ll just say this stuff is pretty great.
Read 📖 The Half Moon
I haven’t been reading as much as I’d like lately, but I think this book will help change that. I cannot even express how invested I am in these fictional characters’ lives and backstories. I find myself thinking about them even when I’m not reading. It’s that good. In fact, I only have about 40 pages left to go yet I’ve been selfishly holding off reading them because I’ll be so sad when it’s over.
