It definitely helps to fill the void of longing for a community of people who share the same values as you that many of us either never had or lost when we deconstructed from religion. 💞
hearing you talk about sisterhood made me SOB, my little sister passed away 5 years ago now and I miss that connection so much. I have been building my circle of platonic friendships with women in my life over the years and hearing you talk about the community of women made me realize I can still feel that in a different way🥲🧡
welllllll I’m bawling…. I wish you the best in your healing and sending you all the love. Hope you find the best group of community & womanhood we all deserve that💕
brittany getting into D&D and eventually playing D&D in a campaign DM’d by Brennan Lee Mulligan would be …….. literally one of the most life-changingly wonderful things to ever happen
literally when she started talking about loving fantasy in previous episodes, i was wondering when she would go down the D&D pipeline. And im so glad it came sooner than expected
You might’ve thought that sisterhood rant was silly but people needed to hear it. After listening to this my little sister called my mom from school and said she was having a panic attack and begged to be picked up. So we both left work and now we’re having a movie day in her bed. Made me realize life is so short. And being an empathetic woman is beautiful and I’m grateful for the opportunity. I love your podcast, B 😭💕
I’m non-binary afab and this just made me miss the sisterhood sm. I hope all women know that I’m safe and will support them no matter what! I also hope you’ll still have me as a part of your community because I literally understand everything y’all are going through.❤ 😭
@@BEANS518 idk if youve heard of FINT or FLINTA but it stands for females, intersex, non binary, trans female. and its like a queer sisterhood its very sweet, spaces that are for finta people are always so kind x
@@BEANS518 As a female person who is GNC I'm like... a little disgusted you'd imply we're "unsafe" to be around? That we don't get to be a part of womanhood when it is literally forced upon us? I mean really, how much do you hate yourself to project like that? Whether we like it or not, we are women. In the eyes of society, that's all we are. If I can't be anything else, I'm glad I'm at least a woman. You should be glad too. Please do some self-reflection. You do not need to drag us down like this with your own insecurities. Nobody thinks you're "unsafe"; and those that do aren't the kind of people you should listen to anyway. You'll live a lonely life without people to relate to.
i took last week off of social media (because im doing The Artist's Way workbook) and it was the best thing i couldve done for myself. getting rid of that compulsion to open instagram or tiktok was so hard, but i got rid of it!! im 25 and i was so tired of trying to fill silence in my day with tiktok or youtube. the break gave me a sense of control that ive never felt before, and the self discipline i developed over just one week was something i can realistically carry with me forever. i know its hard but what if its actually so much easier than we think ? finally feeling present for myself and other people has been the most rewarding part.
I’m on my last week of the Artist’s Way and can confidently say that it’s changed my life for the better! I also heavily restricted my social media usage after feeling the same way and the amount of focus and mental clarity I’ve had has been insane.
coming across this comment 5 months later and wanted to know how its going! ive been trying to get off social media and have timers set by people who have the password (so i cant change it) but its so hard to stop reaching for my phone and be in the moment
That thing Brittany said about friends who will blatantly text and drive GIRLLLL DON'T GET ME STARTED IT'S SO TERRIFYING 😭 I've got a "friend" I don't hang out with anymore, but for a while I was at the point where I'd always offer to drive because I could NOT stand to risk being the passenger in their car!! What's worse is I LITERALLY OFFER to handle their phone FOR them so they can keep their eyes on the road, but they say "nah it's okay!" and THEN CHECK IT ANYWAYS!!! The amount of times they'd go from 60 to 90 back to 60, toeing the line, FAST STOPS instead of gradual ones all because their PHONE was more important than the road??????? Oh my GOD it was awful. One time I was so scared they were going to rear-end someone at a stop light (they were on their phone again) that I accidentally blurted out "stop stOP" and I NEVERRR freak out like that (usually I'm silent if anything goes wrong lol). They didn't hit the car but they were like "oh sorry". WTF DO U MEAN "OH SORRY"??? GET OFF YOUR PHONE 😭 I'm at the point in life now that I'll just take the driver's phone form their hands if they're not stopped. Maybe their life isn't important to them, but MY life is important TO ME and I WILL ensure that I get home safely. STOP TEXTING AND DRIVING MFS!
as someone who was rear ended at a stop light by someone who wasn't paying attention (b/c they were probably on their phone), had my car subsequently totaled, forced to buy another car when I'm already so poor making minimum wage and skimping on food to make sure I make rent, THANK YOU THANK YOU for holding your drivers accountable. one small mistake can literally ruin an innocent person's life. FUCK people who use their phone and drive. on a side note, to anyone reading this, if you don't have uninsured motorist coverage, here is your sign to get it. also FUCK people who drive without auto insurance.
it drives me nuts when people do that. i make a real effort to never look at my phone when i drive, and seeing people genuinely going 80 miles an hour on the interstate while actively texting is so fucking terrifying to me. i simply can't conceptualize how people think that's really ok, like i don't do that shit alone in my car and i don't even value my own life that much LMAOOOOO
Ugh obsessed. I love that Brittany is a committed lifelong learner. Nothing better than being able to hear these complex analyses she somehow can put forth in a one woman show. Appreciate!!!!!!
Bachelor in Museum Studies here! The tiny portraits Brittany talks about are called cameos. They were made for all income levels with the less expensive ones being made of only one layer of carving (cheaper ones would be clay while more expensive ones might be a variety of materials layered on top of one another). The more expensive/high-class options generally had anywhere from 2-4 layers of carving which could be alabaster stone, mother of pearl, etc. those multilayered ones where often carved so that the viewer could see each material layer as a part of an entire image if that makes sense. Very cool little pieces and they can be remarkably complex images!
100% agree with the phone addiction things you said, it's so sad when you're trying your best to fight that but a lot of people are still so unaware of it. really wish for all of us to be better at that cause I really do believe relationships are the only thing we have in life
i immediately started tearing up at 18:00 i literally needed that so fucking bad. im having such a hard time with friends right now and i dont feel girlhood at all, and this BROKE ME
14:06 “life is to be enjoyed, and it is so much sweeter and richer when you are holding the hand of your sister.” i am an only child. i have not read this book. i am crying real mf tears. i have friends who are like sisters to me. our love for each other has saved my life
TYSM for talking about how rude it is when people are on their phones when you're trying to have a conversation! Sometimes I feel like I'm so out of place because I get irritated by that and no one else seems to care at all, literally all my friends scroll on their phones when I try and talk to them. It's super depressing.
i think this is a good lesson in not forcing ppl to listen to you, especially when they’re very clearly showing you & communicating that they’re not capable or interested in conversation with you right now. so many ppl are convinced that they’re entitled to others time & energy that they end up like this, making themselves a perpetual victim who’s just so outcast & misunderstood.
@@pixie9499 I don't think having a normal conversation with someone is 'forcing them to listen to me'. I'm also not 'entitled to anyone's time', and not sure why you would assume either of those things based on my comment. It's just straight up rude to be on your phone the entire time someone is trying to have a genuine conversation or spend time together.
my boyfriend has walked in on so many britany moments where she’s objectifying the shit out of a man or talking about dick and i’m like NO PLEASE IF YOU WOULD LISTEN TO 2 MORE MINUTES SHE GETS INTO SOME SERIOUS TALK 😭
I try to practice not getting on my phone even when it’s socially acceptable in public, like sitting in a waiting room or standing in line. I just sit there and look around, look at people, name all the different sounds I can hear. It’s immersion in daily life and it actually helps me be appreciative and loving toward my surroundings rather than cultivating escapism. Then in situations with family and friends, I don’t even have the urge to check my phone. It helps to not have many (or any) social media apps. Your part on sisterhood hit me because I struggle to maintain relationships with women for some reason. I’ve had lapses in trust with women I think, but I’m trying to get over that. I feel like we would be great friends, B, I appreciate your connectivity to life’s little things ❤️
I can’t stress enough how much I thoroughly admire your segment on the phone issue with our generations. It’s something that is arguably the most overlooked thing because it’s become so normal to allow these little boxes to take so much of our attention away from the beautiful things in life (I am 110% guilty of it too). And as you moved into talking about the issue with people texting and driving-yeah, I feel you there. There are just so many people who obviously do not understand or try to understand the value and preciousness of life, and how quickly something bad could happen. Sorry to be so depressing on a Friday evening, but I’m so thankful I was raised to pay attention to these things. I wish more people would, because man, it seems like the more time goes on, the less people understand how to interact with each other and get off of their phones. It’s one reason I made myself delete TikTok. I got so addicted to where I couldn’t go to the restroom at home or get ready for bed without getting on and scrolling. Just wanted to emphasize how much I agreed with your segment on this!
There is nothing like crying with another woman who you have truly no relation to, who doesn’t know you exist, over the love and respect you have towards other women. I feel sisterhood in this Chili’s tonight.
no seriously, i started identifying as genderfluid bc the woman identity was too overwhelming for me but every time brittany gets literal stars in her eyes talking about womanhood i'm like hey dats me too :'''')
what an amazing synopsis of silver flames. it actually ended up being my favorite book of the series and i resonated so much with nesta. i think people that don’t like nesta is because they know a nesta and do not understand or just can’t understand how your mind turns on you and makes you feel that you need to protect yourself from everything. and by doing that and having so many walls up you are an impenetrable force but you push everyone around you away and soon enough you find out that THAT is the easy way out. being vulnerable and facing those emotions head on is the hard part and i just am so absolutely obsessed with nestas story and she also ended up being my favorite character i loved from blood and ash and also you should read crescent city if you haven’t already. the world of sarah j maas is just getting started and nothing beats her writing imo! love hearing you talk about these books :) 18:58
my ex used to literally be on his phone 24/7, especially every time we went out to eat. I remember we went to the aquarium for our first anniversary and while I was mesmerized by watching the sea lions, I turn around and he was sitting on a bench playing clash of clans LOL. then when I started reading heavily again last year, he would get so angry that I wasn’t giving him attention. went so far as to even tell me I couldn’t bring my books to his house! but then he’d turn around and be on the playstation for hours.. when we broke up he actually had the audacity to tell me my reading was a big turn off/ problem for him LMFAOOO safe to say I dodged a bullet!
i seriously appreciate you talking about what you’re reading because my mental health has been so bad (and i’m broke as hell) so i haven’t been reading even though it’s something i really enjoy doing. it’s really nice to get to live the experience through you lol
Nesta was hard to love because I am her. Her story was so beautiful to me because I got to see myself and my struggles in a person who wasn’t me. And it was powerful. It’s ugly but it’s honest. Forever respect nesta.
40:45 Jasperware! Worked in an auction gallery for a couple years, they're a beautiful collector item, but not valued very highly like the shell cameo jewelry pieces, or the mourning hair jewelry. (Super excited you mention this, I love collecting Victorian antiques.)
I’m so glad you loved silver flames. It’s such an amazing book. It was sometimes hard to read because I went through Nestas journey. I’m still going through her journey. And even after you do all the hard work it’s so hard to swallow that other people might never give you that chance and you just have to accept it. ❤❤
I work as a waitress and it's so upsetting to see how many couples and families will go a whole dinner in a restaurant on their phones without talking or engaging with each other.
@@mchbritxoh my goddddd please do. She is (imo) the most well written character. Truly makes u reflect on how we treat addicts and mentally ill women ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
I lost my sister when I was little and her section on her telling her sister how much she loved her hella tugged on my heart. I hope you all love and appreciate your family you never know how long you have
38:40 i think its bcs his sherlock was meant to be sort of a lgbt hidden context like some say its queer baiting bcs they never made it clear in the show, but i think the awkward introvert sherlock in love with his bestie just fits the character so much !!
@@ObeyLucifer Oh, you know. She went to the Sundance Film Festival, met PEDRO PASCAL, and interviewed some really cool actors. I think she was partnered with Audible? I'm sure I just haven't reached that point of the podcast yet lol!
watching brittany's videos and completely forgetting the title until she says something about it. it happens every time and makes me giggle. livin for it.
you're so real for adding in the use of a cellphone at dinner intentionally geared towards connection, whether it be platonic or romantic, because that SHIT drives me actually insane. i feel feral (derogatory) when someone's using their phone at a dinner we paid to connect at. CONNECT with ME.
40:38 theyre just called cameos, usually carved from agate or onyx. they would picture a loved one or royalty, and they were initially popular during the Renaissance and had a resurgence in the victorian era
as someone who read acotar and honestly wasn’t a big fan of it, watching Brittany love it so much makes me happy and gives me a ton of appreciation for the series lol. too bad it wasn’t for me
Nothing will EVER make me feel the way SJM books do. All 3 series’. They really did change my life. They are just perfect books and out of everything I’ve read nothing else has made me feel these things!!!!!! Thank you Brittany bc I wouldn’t have read them without you!!!!!
Brittany, it's truly fascinating how a seemingly disparate connection can form between two lives, yours as a content creator and mine as an avid viewer. Despite our worlds existing in entirely different spheres, the resonance of your philosophy and worldviews strikes a chord deep within me. Your authenticity, laid bare in every podcast episode, serves as a beacon of inspiration. Witnessing you articulate thoughts with such genuine, human depth encourages me to aspire to that level of certainty in expressing my own ideas. Often, I find myself grappling with shyness and insecurities during conversations, yet your weekly podcasts act as a powerful reminder that sharing one's thoughts, values, and opinions is not only enriching but an essential part of the human experience. Your ability to navigate discussions with such clarity and sincerity is a testament to the transformative nature of open dialogue, reinforcing the idea that our voices are valuable contributions to the rich tapestry of shared human experience
on the cell phone etiquette convo, i think the reason why we can be apprehensive to calling people/friends out on the stuff they do, malevolent or not, is cause we lowkey know that if we do, its a 50/50 shot we stay friends with the person. to me, the response to the call out or convo thats had is so important. if the instinct is to get annoyed with me for even saying anything or have any type of overly self defensive/aggressive response is a major red flag. people dont like getting called out on their shit and in this age, they will drop you like a bad habit before actually reevaluating their own.
yup. had this happen with a best friend. she moved into my apartment along with another girl (individual leases) and about 2 months ago, she moved her bf in without asking, telling us etc. lied about him staying there when she wasn’t (i was ALONE n he’s a felon 🤭). we didn’t talk for two weeks once i called her out. now she wants to move back home bc he’s her manager and she wants to drop him without telling him.
I would literally buy an annotated version of silver flames by miss Brittany just so I could read every thought she has about this book along the way. I love the way her mind works and the way she eloquently expresses what I cannot. I love her thoughts and I’ve been so excited to hear her thoughts on this book just knowing how much of an impact it would leave on her, how much she’d love it. Its such a masterpiece. Or a seperate even longer full of spoilers review and dissection/discussion video. Like i wanna hear her every thought on it in great detail. Love her
Those broaches are called Cameos or cameo jewelry and traditionally, they are carved our of shell! I'm a cameo collector! Also I think you should read The Lost Apothecary. It has the Victorian England vibes you're looking for!
Also during the regency it was a popular thing to draw people’s side profile I believe it was called a silhouette, that would have been hung on a wall too
Hey girl, I'm obsessed with Victorian and Edwardian eras and I love that you're getting into it. It really fits your art history interests too! If you wanna see some real accurate 1890's looks in a fun context you should watch the HBO show The Nevers. Also there's sooo many videos on youtube about Victorian fashion and culture, I recommend Bernadette Banner. She just put out a video about how people didn't actually stink lol. Would love to see you get into it xx
You have the most BEAUTIFUL way of expressing how books make you feel and explaining the themes!! You literally took the words out of my mouth. And also WHEN ARE YOU READING CRESCENT CITY?!?
Genuinely, watching your videos reminds me of hanging out with a best friend. It makes it easier for me to cope not being able to see my bestie often because she lives so far away. Thank you for being a bestie, queen ❤
I never comment on any video but I’ve been going through something with my partner and I feel like I was meant to see this today. Especially the speech you quoted. Love you Brittany
My younger sister and best friend passed away tragically 7 years ago as of Sunday, and I still don’t know if I’ll ever have a sister and woman in my life like that again. Cherish it while you have it ❤ Sisterhood is our lifeblood as women
@@nicoleloo6386 I’m so sorry to hear but always somehow comforting to know you’re not alone on this journey ❤️ Feel free to reach out if you want to! 💝
i always love watching brittany her content and her personality, the way she delivers things and how open she is. she never fails to make me laugh and relate to her so much!! love her to deathhh
They are called cameos babe. I have many. From my understanding they had a variety of uses. Dead relatives or lovers. Sometimes current lovers. Sometimes even historical figures or past people of the house etc. I’m not sure which were the most common or prevalent in society at that time but sometimes you can find a really beautiful piece at estate sale jewelry stores. It’s really incredible just how intricate they can be when you really take a look at them.
omg thanks for the read on the last book. i was so enraged for SO many reasons by the 3rd i couldn't even pick up number 4. you have restored my faith and i'm about to eat it up again
40:08 they're called cameos, they're carved out of shell/mother of pearl, or coral and they're to commemorate a person. You could also get them layered with different materials and set with diamonds. Something else you might be interested in, is Victorian mourning jewelry made out of human hair. Source: I managed an antique store for 5 years.
Love your thoughts on silver flames! I’m currently 300 pages deep and the theme of women friendship and this community that Nesta is finding in these women is beautiful. I think these friendships are a driving force is what’s saving her from herself not just the unwavering love that Cassian gives her even in her worst moments.
i legitimately need her to read the once and future witches so bad holy FUCK its victorian, set in post-witch hunt salem, and has magic and witches and feminism and sisterhood and solidarity among girls. i was literally so overwhelmed when i finished the book that i bit it, and now the book has a huge indentation of my teeth
I go feral waiting for these. Frothing at the mouth, growling, chewing the bars of my enclosure- until these come out every Tuesday like a sedation injection ❤
on my knees BEGGING for the seven deadly sins talk next week. Literally foaming at the mouth when I heard that. I ain’t even religious anymore but something about them just ITCHES my brain sooooo
Every time you hated on this book I was like *hands folded* “imma wait.” And here we are both just read it and I’m ALSO crying. Also, stoked that you’ve picked up classic novels from high school AP English- was my favorite subject and truly some of them were so boring but SO MANY were so good! Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451 being a couple of my tops!
Sherlock Holmes is based on an autistic doctor, and as an autistic person myself, I heavily empathize with the character. My main special interest is behavioral analysis (how a mind and environment interact with human body language and behavior), but I am also fond of food science, rock hounding, makeup/clothing, natural medicine/botany, and generally design (particularly the psychology behind buildings, products, and interiors throughout history). I have been compared to Google and told that I am not human. Autistic traits are admirable and charming in our society but when they are labeled "autistic," then people see them as negative. Needless to say, I feel comforted to hear someone say that they want to be like Sherlock. You said that Sherlock is a character but I have to sincerely admit that many times I have a similar level of pattern recognition (with only human behavior). Once I develop a baseline for a person's behavior, I can't be fooled. It takes me about 2 weeks to establish a baseline and I don't do it intentionally. My personal life suffers because of this, most of the time I learn things I wish I did not know. I also constantly have dreams that later on come true, or reveal truths to me. I believe the dreams are caused by patterns I've observed and shoved down into my psyche over time, nothing more. I have a full honesty policy with my fiance because it saves time and fosters respect. The skill serves me well at work where I was an SPMI residential program manager who worked on the floor and housed folks (low barrier, risky, honest work). And it will serve me well as a CNA and eventually nurse. People with similar personalities exist but they never talk about it because wow does that make everyone uncomfortable and hate you. I've lived my whole life like this and only my fiance knows. Writing this post makes me feel like a stupid redditor dweeb.
This is going to be a little trauma dumpy and I doubt Brittany will ever see this but I just want to say thank you to Brittany. I’m sure we can all say that Brittany got us through the tough times, and I can’t thank her enough for the live(s) she has likely saved simply by being a ray of sunshine and smarts. I’m going to be going into a psych unit for my depression (and all that comes with that) this week and I’m watching this to get me through the days until there’s space. Brittany is always a comfort and I love her duality of true down to earth emotion still with that child like positivity and curiosity. Also I feel so much love for all my sisters (including any trans sisters ofc) tonight. Stay safe, lovelies. -a trans man who still feels connection to his feminine self and WILL cry about it
Good luck, friend! Just remember what she was talking about around 12:50 . There is a light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how long the tunnel. I'm at the tail end of the hardest 4 months of my life so far dude. Looking forward to the brighter days that these dark days are helping me appreciate 💀
I always thought Britney a historically accurate face, idk how to explain it but she has features that belong in a renaissance painting. Could definitely see her living in a different era somewhere in Europe
When Rhys said Feyre Darling at the end FULL HYSTERICAL SOBBING OH MY GOD I HAD TO TAKE A BREAK CAUSE I COULDNT SEE THRU MY TEARS. I love all of the characters but ive always been a Rhysand/Feyre girl.
Listening to you makes me understand how a cult can be formed, I could listen to you for hours. You’re so raw and real and makes it feel like my bare soul is watching your bare soul
I know it can be awkward, but ALWAYS call out people who are texting and driving/distracted driving. I was in a horrific rollover car accident when I was 15 because the driver was distracted. Saying something can save both your life and that of the driver. Texting/changing a song isn’t worth losing your life.
I gasped at the beginning of this because I finished Court of Silver Flames TODAY. I loved what you had to say about being grateful for your sister. I sobbed at the intimate scene between Feyre and Nesta because I lost my older sister a few years ago and it made me want to hug her so bad-I feel so happy that you got to reach out to your sister in that moment and felt a similar way that I did when reading. What a fucking good ass book and I WISH it was as well received as A Court of Mist and Fury because I think it’s 10 times better SUE ME!!! The moral of the story is more women-centric without being cringe and girlbossy and has such good ass complex and BEAUTIFUL female characters. And also SEX AND FUCKING!!! SARAH J MAAS LOVE U QUEEN 🫶
Brittany, thank you so much for talking about phone etiquette. I’ve always been extroverted, and outgoing, but there’s been so many times I’m talking, and people are literally not listening, and it makes me feel like people don’t give a shit about me or what I have to say. It absolutely sucks. Bring back basic manners in 2024.
not even gonna lie to you, i was like "im not gonna read this, its overhyped" but hearing you talk about ACOTAR made me ask for the paperback set for christmas and im like 3/4 through the first book. youre an influencer; consider me influenced edit: i finished it and im so mad like GIRL so much could've been avoided. I knew the answer to the riddle as soon as i read it. this was all for what.

I also appreciate you mentioning the phone stuff bc it’s so real 😭 I’ve found, since reading, that my attention span lasts much longer and I wonder if reading more books would help with all of it? I wonder if books were as distracting as phones in the Victorian era also? Ty Brittany for alllll the discourse you offer, ur a treasure tbh 💕

It definitely helps to fill the void of longing for a community of people who share the same values as you that many of us either never had or lost when we deconstructed from religion. 💞
The way Brittany talks about books makes me want to learn how to read

I need it to happen more than anything in life
can we make a pact to spam her w fantasy high season one... Perfect entry level. I NEEEEEED her to know this world exists.
You might’ve thought that sisterhood rant was silly but people needed to hear it. After listening to this my little sister called my mom from school and said she was having a panic attack and begged to be picked up. So we both left work and now we’re having a movie day in her bed. Made me realize life is so short. And being an empathetic woman is beautiful and I’m grateful for the opportunity. I love your podcast, B 😭💕

Whether we like it or not, we are women. In the eyes of society, that's all we are. If I can't be anything else, I'm glad I'm at least a woman. You should be glad too.
Please do some self-reflection. You do not need to drag us down like this with your own insecurities. Nobody thinks you're "unsafe"; and those that do aren't the kind of people you should listen to anyway. You'll live a lonely life without people to relate to.

This is awesome. I’m about to turn 25 and I’m also filling my silence with content. I’ll look up the artists way
I’m on my last week of the Artist’s Way and can confidently say that it’s changed my life for the better! I also heavily restricted my social media usage after feeling the same way and the amount of focus and mental clarity I’ve had has been insane.
coming across this comment 5 months later and wanted to know how its going! ive been trying to get off social media and have timers set by people who have the password (so i cant change it) but its so hard to stop reaching for my phone and be in the moment
That thing Brittany said about friends who will blatantly text and drive GIRLLLL DON'T GET ME STARTED IT'S SO TERRIFYING 😭
I've got a "friend" I don't hang out with anymore, but for a while I was at the point where I'd always offer to drive because I could NOT stand to risk being the passenger in their car!! What's worse is I LITERALLY OFFER to handle their phone FOR them so they can keep their eyes on the road, but they say "nah it's okay!" and THEN CHECK IT ANYWAYS!!! The amount of times they'd go from 60 to 90 back to 60, toeing the line, FAST STOPS instead of gradual ones all because their PHONE was more important than the road??????? Oh my GOD it was awful. One time I was so scared they were going to rear-end someone at a stop light (they were on their phone again) that I accidentally blurted out "stop stOP" and I NEVERRR freak out like that (usually I'm silent if anything goes wrong lol). They didn't hit the car but they were like "oh sorry". WTF DO U MEAN "OH SORRY"??? GET OFF YOUR PHONE 😭
I'm at the point in life now that I'll just take the driver's phone form their hands if they're not stopped. Maybe their life isn't important to them, but MY life is important TO ME and I WILL ensure that I get home safely.
STOP TEXTING AND DRIVING MFS!
as someone who was rear ended at a stop light by someone who wasn't paying attention (b/c they were probably on their phone), had my car subsequently totaled, forced to buy another car when I'm already so poor making minimum wage and skimping on food to make sure I make rent, THANK YOU THANK YOU for holding your drivers accountable. one small mistake can literally ruin an innocent person's life. FUCK people who use their phone and drive.
on a side note, to anyone reading this, if you don't have uninsured motorist coverage, here is your sign to get it. also FUCK people who drive without auto insurance.
Phew AMENNNNNN
it drives me nuts when people do that. i make a real effort to never look at my phone when i drive, and seeing people genuinely going 80 miles an hour on the interstate while actively texting is so fucking terrifying to me. i simply can't conceptualize how people think that's really ok, like i don't do that shit alone in my car and i don't even value my own life that much LMAOOOOO
Crying about sisterhood and friendship then launching into the tinder ad is just so good
I thought the same thing 😂
lmfao fr
Girl I’m so depressed and your podcasts literally give me clarity by reminding me of the beauty of life, thank you seriously thank you
this
Girl omg same. I'm drowning a little bit and this podcast keeps me going
literally having the worst mental health week of my life and she's the only thing that's made me smile!
me too
❤
I love that Brittany gives me the content I need to live another day on this god-forsaken planet.
mf you havent even finished the video
@kbd444 and? 🫶🏻
SHE SAID WHAT SHE SAID
Chillllll
more porridge please mother 👩 🥣
this is slowly turning into a book podcast, and I am feigning for it I want more, and I love it, and I relate to her on every spectrum
Ugh obsessed. I love that Brittany is a committed lifelong learner. Nothing better than being able to hear these complex analyses she somehow can put forth in a one woman show. Appreciate!!!!!!
So ummm... can we all acknowledge the fact that she said "Don't twist the words in my mouth, they taste acidic coming out." What a powerful saying!!!
Bachelor in Museum Studies here! The tiny portraits Brittany talks about are called cameos. They were made for all income levels with the less expensive ones being made of only one layer of carving (cheaper ones would be clay while more expensive ones might be a variety of materials layered on top of one another). The more expensive/high-class options generally had anywhere from 2-4 layers of carving which could be alabaster stone, mother of pearl, etc. those multilayered ones where often carved so that the viewer could see each material layer as a part of an entire image if that makes sense. Very cool little pieces and they can be remarkably complex images!
they might be my favorite things! thank you!
I haven’t read a book in about 10 years, but my hands are off the WHEEL GOING 90 mph when our queen talks about any book. The power she has
No kidding! Let’s start a book club 🤠
Same. Haven’t read a actual book in years but she makes me want to start reading lol
@@Imblue134you should!! it’s so much fun. i love coming home from work & getting to read my book
100% agree with the phone addiction things you said, it's so sad when you're trying your best to fight that but a lot of people are still so unaware of it. really wish for all of us to be better at that cause I really do believe relationships are the only thing we have in life
i immediately started tearing up at 18:00 i literally needed that so fucking bad. im having such a hard time with friends right now and i dont feel girlhood at all, and this BROKE ME
I was going to write something exactly like this🖤
14:06 “life is to be enjoyed, and it is so much sweeter and richer when you are holding the hand of your sister.” i am an only child. i have not read this book. i am crying real mf tears. i have friends who are like sisters to me. our love for each other has saved my life
you should read the book!
TYSM for talking about how rude it is when people are on their phones when you're trying to have a conversation! Sometimes I feel like I'm so out of place because I get irritated by that and no one else seems to care at all, literally all my friends scroll on their phones when I try and talk to them. It's super depressing.
Yo fuck em.
i think this is a good lesson in not forcing ppl to listen to you, especially when they’re very clearly showing you & communicating that they’re not capable or interested in conversation with you right now. so many ppl are convinced that they’re entitled to others time & energy that they end up like this, making themselves a perpetual victim who’s just so outcast & misunderstood.
It's still pretty mean to ignore someone when they want to connect with you.
@@pixie9499
@@pixie9499I mean sure but if you are friends with someone you should show them some basic respect, I don’t think pointing that out = playing victim
@@pixie9499 I don't think having a normal conversation with someone is 'forcing them to listen to me'. I'm also not 'entitled to anyone's time', and not sure why you would assume either of those things based on my comment. It's just straight up rude to be on your phone the entire time someone is trying to have a genuine conversation or spend time together.
Someone needs to make a compilation of the juxtaposition of Brittany being really serious and thoughtful and also being completely unhinged.
my boyfriend has walked in on so many britany moments where she’s objectifying the shit out of a man or talking about dick and i’m like NO PLEASE IF YOU WOULD LISTEN TO 2 MORE MINUTES SHE GETS INTO SOME SERIOUS TALK 😭
I try to practice not getting on my phone even when it’s socially acceptable in public, like sitting in a waiting room or standing in line. I just sit there and look around, look at people, name all the different sounds I can hear. It’s immersion in daily life and it actually helps me be appreciative and loving toward my surroundings rather than cultivating escapism. Then in situations with family and friends, I don’t even have the urge to check my phone. It helps to not have many (or any) social media apps.
Your part on sisterhood hit me because I struggle to maintain relationships with women for some reason. I’ve had lapses in trust with women I think, but I’m trying to get over that. I feel like we would be great friends, B, I appreciate your connectivity to life’s little things ❤️
I can’t stress enough how much I thoroughly admire your segment on the phone issue with our generations. It’s something that is arguably the most overlooked thing because it’s become so normal to allow these little boxes to take so much of our attention away from the beautiful things in life (I am 110% guilty of it too). And as you moved into talking about the issue with people texting and driving-yeah, I feel you there. There are just so many people who obviously do not understand or try to understand the value and preciousness of life, and how quickly something bad could happen.
Sorry to be so depressing on a Friday evening, but I’m so thankful I was raised to pay attention to these things. I wish more people would, because man, it seems like the more time goes on, the less people understand how to interact with each other and get off of their phones. It’s one reason I made myself delete TikTok. I got so addicted to where I couldn’t go to the restroom at home or get ready for bed without getting on and scrolling. Just wanted to emphasize how much I agreed with your segment on this!
There is nothing like crying with another woman who you have truly no relation to, who doesn’t know you exist, over the love and respect you have towards other women. I feel sisterhood in this Chili’s tonight.
I actually can't put into words how much I love hearing you talk. Your brain is so beautiful.
For so many years I resented being a woman, Brittany is part of the reason why I don’t hate being a woman anymore ❤
no seriously, i started identifying as genderfluid bc the woman identity was too overwhelming for me but every time brittany gets literal stars in her eyes talking about womanhood i'm like hey dats me too :'''')
This is sooo so real. She makes me feel so beautiful as a woman
@@puffpuffjess FR especially her podcast about religion and the Barbie movie… I was actually sobbing so hard watching those I felt so seen
what an amazing synopsis of silver flames. it actually ended up being my favorite book of the series and i resonated so much with nesta.
i think people that don’t like nesta is because they know a nesta and do not understand or just can’t understand how your mind turns on you and makes you feel that you need to protect yourself from everything. and by doing that and having so many walls up you are an impenetrable force but you push everyone around you away and soon enough you find out that THAT is the easy way out. being vulnerable and facing those emotions head on is the hard part and i just am so absolutely obsessed with nestas story and she also ended up being my favorite character
i loved from blood and ash and also you should read crescent city if you haven’t already. the world of sarah j maas is just getting started and nothing beats her writing imo!
love hearing you talk about these books :) 18:58
I NEED Brittany to read all the crescent city books if she hasn’t already 😭
my ex used to literally be on his phone 24/7, especially every time we went out to eat. I remember we went to the aquarium for our first anniversary and while I was mesmerized by watching the sea lions, I turn around and he was sitting on a bench playing clash of clans LOL. then when I started reading heavily again last year, he would get so angry that I wasn’t giving him attention. went so far as to even tell me I couldn’t bring my books to his house! but then he’d turn around and be on the playstation for hours.. when we broke up he actually had the audacity to tell me my reading was a big turn off/ problem for him LMFAOOO
safe to say I dodged a bullet!
clash of clans is insane 😭😭😭 glad u left him girl
brittany is so chaotic and i live for it and so does my brain i can’t even explain how i can keep up with her but i do and it’s everything
i seriously appreciate you talking about what you’re reading because my mental health has been so bad (and i’m broke as hell) so i haven’t been reading even though it’s something i really enjoy doing. it’s really nice to get to live the experience through you lol
I LOVE THE ACOTAR TALK. When Sarah J. Maas writes about friendships it hits my heart so deep. I love Nesta and her girls.
I usually skip book talk segments but now that Brit says “idgaf you’re gonna sit down and listen” I listen to it 😭😭
Nesta was hard to love because I am her. Her story was so beautiful to me because I got to see myself and my struggles in a person who wasn’t me. And it was powerful. It’s ugly but it’s honest. Forever respect nesta.
40:45 Jasperware! Worked in an auction gallery for a couple years, they're a beautiful collector item, but not valued very highly like the shell cameo jewelry pieces, or the mourning hair jewelry. (Super excited you mention this, I love collecting Victorian antiques.)
I’m so glad you loved silver flames. It’s such an amazing book. It was sometimes hard to read because I went through Nestas journey. I’m still going through her journey. And even after you do all the hard work it’s so hard to swallow that other people might never give you that chance and you just have to accept it. ❤❤
Brittany coming in clutch today. I was LOOKING for something to listen to instead of my classes!!
Oh. No. That’s not.
@@hurricanecemi in the sense that

@@hurricanecemi not what ⁉️😋
I work as a waitress and it's so upsetting to see how many couples and families will go a whole dinner in a restaurant on their phones without talking or engaging with each other.
agreed its so odd how often it happens. i even get young couples where the boyfriend is playing league on his phone the whole dinner
this podcast and Our Supreme Leader might finally be what gets me to start A Court of Thorns and Roses lmao
Same here 😅
DO IT I PINKIE SWEAR YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT
Please try Thron of Glass ❤❤❤❤❤
same i dnf’d ACOSF because i just cannot stand Nesta but this made me maybe rethink picking it up
@@mchbritxoh my goddddd please do. She is (imo) the most well written character. Truly makes u reflect on how we treat addicts and mentally ill women ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
I lost my sister when I was little and her section on her telling her sister how much she loved her hella tugged on my heart. I hope you all love and appreciate your family you never know how long you have
38:40 i think its bcs his sherlock was meant to be sort of a lgbt hidden context like some say its queer baiting bcs they never made it clear in the show, but i think the awkward introvert sherlock in love with his bestie just fits the character so much !!
Boy oh boy, I can't wait for her to talk about the Audible interviews and meeting Pedro! Surely this was filmed after that!
WHAT
@@ObeyLucifer Oh, you know. She went to the Sundance Film Festival, met PEDRO PASCAL, and interviewed some really cool actors. I think she was partnered with Audible? I'm sure I just haven't reached that point of the podcast yet lol!
@@lizardwomanfromearthscoreshe said on her Instagram that this is prerecorded!! next week is the Pedrito episode!

If Brittany was on D20 or Critical Role it would be absolutely incredible
OMFG YESSSSS
Came here to say this! It would be soooo good
omfg please something deep in my soul needs that
I keep thinking this! Once Brittany falls down the dnd hole she'll be obsessed forever
I NEED HER ON D20 IMMEDIATELY!!! YESTERDAY!!!!!!
You know its a good day when Broski Report drops an hour before school🙏🙏
YES
LITERALLY TWINS
YUPPPP
YESS TWINSIES@@Marsfart
Real
17:46 I’m literally in tears bc this is exactly what I needed to hear
watching brittany's videos and completely forgetting the title until she says something about it. it happens every time and makes me giggle. livin for it.
you're so real for adding in the use of a cellphone at dinner intentionally geared towards connection, whether it be platonic or romantic, because that SHIT drives me actually insane. i feel feral (derogatory) when someone's using their phone at a dinner we paid to connect at. CONNECT with ME.
40:38 theyre just called cameos, usually carved from agate or onyx. they would picture a loved one or royalty, and they were initially popular during the Renaissance and had a resurgence in the victorian era
as someone who read acotar and honestly wasn’t a big fan of it, watching Brittany love it so much makes me happy and gives me a ton of appreciation for the series lol. too bad it wasn’t for me
Literally the same exact experience I have. No such thing as a bad book, just a book that is not for you.
same i hated acosf but hearing brittany talk so passionately about it warms my heart❤️❤️
@@cclecombe oh HELL NO. You can still enjoy a bad book, but bad books do exist and Maas is an objectively bad writer straight out of wattpad.
Nothing will EVER make me feel the way SJM books do. All 3 series’. They really did change my life. They are just perfect books and out of everything I’ve read nothing else has made me feel these things!!!!!! Thank you Brittany bc I wouldn’t have read them without you!!!!!
Brittany's fan cast is literally handsome squidward Hozier
Brittany, it's truly fascinating how a seemingly disparate connection can form between two lives, yours as a content creator and mine as an avid viewer. Despite our worlds existing in entirely different spheres, the resonance of your philosophy and worldviews strikes a chord deep within me. Your authenticity, laid bare in every podcast episode, serves as a beacon of inspiration. Witnessing you articulate thoughts with such genuine, human depth encourages me to aspire to that level of certainty in expressing my own ideas. Often, I find myself grappling with shyness and insecurities during conversations, yet your weekly podcasts act as a powerful reminder that sharing one's thoughts, values, and opinions is not only enriching but an essential part of the human experience. Your ability to navigate discussions with such clarity and sincerity is a testament to the transformative nature of open dialogue, reinforcing the idea that our voices are valuable contributions to the rich tapestry of shared human experience
you KNOW a book hits when just the BOOK DEDICATION line is an absolute tear jerker. 'keep climbing the mountain' STAPHHH i cant hold back the tears
on the cell phone etiquette convo, i think the reason why we can be apprehensive to calling people/friends out on the stuff they do, malevolent or not, is cause we lowkey know that if we do, its a 50/50 shot we stay friends with the person. to me, the response to the call out or convo thats had is so important. if the instinct is to get annoyed with me for even saying anything or have any type of overly self defensive/aggressive response is a major red flag. people dont like getting called out on their shit and in this age, they will drop you like a bad habit before actually reevaluating their own.
yup. had this happen with a best friend. she moved into my apartment along with another girl (individual leases) and about 2 months ago, she moved her bf in without asking, telling us etc. lied about him staying there when she wasn’t (i was ALONE n he’s a felon 🤭). we didn’t talk for two weeks once i called her out. now she wants to move back home bc he’s her manager and she wants to drop him without telling him.
“It’s making me uncomfortable and that should be enough for you to stop” that really ate
I would literally buy an annotated version of silver flames by miss Brittany just so I could read every thought she has about this book along the way. I love the way her mind works and the way she eloquently expresses what I cannot. I love her thoughts and I’ve been so excited to hear her thoughts on this book just knowing how much of an impact it would leave on her, how much she’d love it. Its such a masterpiece. Or a seperate even longer full of spoilers review and dissection/discussion video. Like i wanna hear her every thought on it in great detail. Love her
Those broaches are called Cameos or cameo jewelry and traditionally, they are carved our of shell! I'm a cameo collector!
Also I think you should read The Lost Apothecary. It has the Victorian England vibes you're looking for!
Came here to say this!
Also during the regency it was a popular thing to draw people’s side profile I believe it was called a silhouette, that would have been hung on a wall too
Watching pro silhouette artists work is pretty mesmerizing; they don’t draw, they solely use scissors and paper.
Ugh yes! I finished the Lost Apothecary yesterday! Such a good one.
Hey girl, I'm obsessed with Victorian and Edwardian eras and I love that you're getting into it. It really fits your art history interests too! If you wanna see some real accurate 1890's looks in a fun context you should watch the HBO show The Nevers. Also there's sooo many videos on youtube about Victorian fashion and culture, I recommend Bernadette Banner. She just put out a video about how people didn't actually stink lol. Would love to see you get into it xx
I second this, I feel like Brittany would love Bernadette Banner
You have the most BEAUTIFUL way of expressing how books make you feel and explaining the themes!! You literally took the words out of my mouth. And also WHEN ARE YOU READING CRESCENT CITY?!?
Genuinely, watching your videos reminds me of hanging out with a best friend. It makes it easier for me to cope not being able to see my bestie often because she lives so far away. Thank you for being a bestie, queen ❤
I never comment on any video but I’ve been going through something with my partner and I feel like I was meant to see this today. Especially the speech you quoted. Love you Brittany
My younger sister and best friend passed away tragically 7 years ago as of Sunday, and I still don’t know if I’ll ever have a sister and woman in my life like that again. Cherish it while you have it ❤ Sisterhood is our lifeblood as women
My older sister passed away 5 years ago. I am so sorry you are going through this. I feel the exact same way. 🩵
@@nicoleloo6386 I’m so sorry to hear but always somehow comforting to know you’re not alone on this journey ❤️ Feel free to reach out if you want to! 💝
i always love watching brittany her content and her personality, the way she delivers things and how open she is. she never fails to make me laugh and relate to her so much!! love her to deathhh
They are called cameos babe. I have many. From my understanding they had a variety of uses. Dead relatives or lovers. Sometimes current lovers. Sometimes even historical figures or past people of the house etc. I’m not sure which were the most common or prevalent in society at that time but sometimes you can find a really beautiful piece at estate sale jewelry stores. It’s really incredible just how intricate they can be when you really take a look at them.
omg thanks for the read on the last book. i was so enraged for SO many reasons by the 3rd i couldn't even pick up number 4. you have restored my faith and i'm about to eat it up again
Mando and kylo ren just bobbin they heads while she gives a sisterhood love convo is so funny lmao
YUPPP. HANDS OFF THE WHEELS, GOIN 90 ON A SCHOOL ZONE. THANK YOU BRITTANY!😮💨😋🩷
As an English grad, I appreciate your willingness to deep dive and I miss these discussions from university!
40:08 they're called cameos, they're carved out of shell/mother of pearl, or coral and they're to commemorate a person. You could also get them layered with different materials and set with diamonds.
Something else you might be interested in, is Victorian mourning jewelry made out of human hair.
Source: I managed an antique store for 5 years.
I was looking for this comment!!
There were also ones made of ivory iirc.
Love your thoughts on silver flames! I’m currently 300 pages deep and the theme of women friendship and this community that Nesta is finding in these women is beautiful. I think these friendships are a driving force is what’s saving her from herself not just the unwavering love that Cassian gives her even in her worst moments.
i legitimately need her to read the once and future witches so bad holy FUCK
its victorian, set in post-witch hunt salem, and has magic and witches and feminism and sisterhood and solidarity among girls. i was literally so overwhelmed when i finished the book that i bit it, and now the book has a huge indentation of my teeth
Need this
watching your opinion on nesta change makes my heart so happy. she has transformed into my favorite character after acosf
I go feral waiting for these. Frothing at the mouth, growling, chewing the bars of my enclosure- until these come out every Tuesday like a sedation injection ❤
For those who also hasn't finished Court of Thorns and Roses series, I'm pretty sure spoiler free starts at 19:00

on my knees BEGGING for the seven deadly sins talk next week. Literally foaming at the mouth when I heard that. I ain’t even religious anymore but something about them just ITCHES my brain sooooo
I'M SO HAPPY YOU ACTUALLY GOT AROUND TO READING ACOSF!!!! I used to hate Nesta too and now she's my favorite character!
Every time you hated on this book I was like *hands folded* “imma wait.” And here we are both just read it and I’m ALSO crying.
Also, stoked that you’ve picked up classic novels from high school AP English- was my favorite subject and truly some of them were so boring but SO MANY were so good! Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451 being a couple of my tops!
I love that the Broski Report drops at this time. As a dual citizen who lives in Asia, it’s so convenient to be listening at 10 PM 🥰
Sherlock Holmes is based on an autistic doctor, and as an autistic person myself, I heavily empathize with the character. My main special interest is behavioral analysis (how a mind and environment interact with human body language and behavior), but I am also fond of food science, rock hounding, makeup/clothing, natural medicine/botany, and generally design (particularly the psychology behind buildings, products, and interiors throughout history).
I have been compared to Google and told that I am not human. Autistic traits are admirable and charming in our society but when they are labeled "autistic," then people see them as negative. Needless to say, I feel comforted to hear someone say that they want to be like Sherlock.
You said that Sherlock is a character but I have to sincerely admit that many times I have a similar level of pattern recognition (with only human behavior).
Once I develop a baseline for a person's behavior, I can't be fooled. It takes me about 2 weeks to establish a baseline and I don't do it intentionally. My personal life suffers because of this, most of the time I learn things I wish I did not know. I also constantly have dreams that later on come true, or reveal truths to me. I believe the dreams are caused by patterns I've observed and shoved down into my psyche over time, nothing more. I have a full honesty policy with my fiance because it saves time and fosters respect.
The skill serves me well at work where I was an SPMI residential program manager who worked on the floor and housed folks (low barrier, risky, honest work). And it will serve me well as a CNA and eventually nurse.
People with similar personalities exist but they never talk about it because wow does that make everyone uncomfortable and hate you. I've lived my whole life like this and only my fiance knows. Writing this post makes me feel like a stupid redditor dweeb.
I’m so grateful that Brittany shares her beautiful brain with us- gets me through the bad days!!
This is going to be a little trauma dumpy and I doubt Brittany will ever see this but I just want to say thank you to Brittany. I’m sure we can all say that Brittany got us through the tough times, and I can’t thank her enough for the live(s) she has likely saved simply by being a ray of sunshine and smarts.
I’m going to be going into a psych unit for my depression (and all that comes with that) this week and I’m watching this to get me through the days until there’s space. Brittany is always a comfort and I love her duality of true down to earth emotion still with that child like positivity and curiosity.
Also I feel so much love for all my sisters (including any trans sisters ofc) tonight. Stay safe, lovelies. -a trans man who still feels connection to his feminine self and WILL cry about it
Sending you love ❤️ it's not feminine to cry, it's human ❤️ thank you for leading the way and holding a light up for your brothers ❤️
Good luck, friend! Just remember what she was talking about around 12:50 . There is a light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how long the tunnel.
I'm at the tail end of the hardest 4 months of my life so far dude. Looking forward to the brighter days that these dark days are helping me appreciate 💀

God I needed to read "there is a light at the end no matter how long the tunnel." Thank you sincerely
I always thought Britney a historically accurate face, idk how to explain it but she has features that belong in a renaissance painting. Could definitely see her living in a different era somewhere in Europe
HANDS OFF THE WHEEL, FOOT ON THE GAS, EYES CLOSED. NO THAT DEFINITELY WAS A SPEEDBUMP 🗣‼‼
14:08 Ok now I’m crying thanks Brittany
When Rhys said Feyre Darling at the end FULL HYSTERICAL SOBBING OH MY GOD I HAD TO TAKE A BREAK CAUSE I COULDNT SEE THRU MY TEARS.
I love all of the characters but ive always been a Rhysand/Feyre girl.
Listening to you makes me understand how a cult can be formed, I could listen to you for hours. You’re so raw and real and makes it feel like my bare soul is watching your bare soul
I know it can be awkward, but ALWAYS call out people who are texting and driving/distracted driving. I was in a horrific rollover car accident when I was 15 because the driver was distracted. Saying something can save both your life and that of the driver. Texting/changing a song isn’t worth losing your life.
Brittany needs to talk about Pride and Prejudice! The 2005 version is one of my favs
I gasped at the beginning of this because I finished Court of Silver Flames TODAY. I loved what you had to say about being grateful for your sister. I sobbed at the intimate scene between Feyre and Nesta because I lost my older sister a few years ago and it made me want to hug her so bad-I feel so happy that you got to reach out to your sister in that moment and felt a similar way that I did when reading. What a fucking good ass book and I WISH it was as well received as A Court of Mist and Fury because I think it’s 10 times better SUE ME!!! The moral of the story is more women-centric without being cringe and girlbossy and has such good ass complex and BEAUTIFUL female characters. And also SEX AND FUCKING!!! SARAH J MAAS LOVE U QUEEN 🫶
Brittany, thank you so much for talking about phone etiquette. I’ve always been extroverted, and outgoing, but there’s been so many times I’m talking, and people are literally not listening, and it makes me feel like people don’t give a shit about me or what I have to say. It absolutely sucks. Bring back basic manners in 2024.
Just dropped off my kid at school, got me a coffee, doing my makeup for the day and broski report. Doesn’t get any better than that❤️
not even gonna lie to you, i was like "im not gonna read this, its overhyped" but hearing you talk about ACOTAR made me ask for the paperback set for christmas and im like 3/4 through the first book. youre an influencer; consider me influenced
edit: i finished it and im so mad like GIRL so much could've been avoided. I knew the answer to the riddle as soon as i read it. this was all for what.
i felt the exact same way after finishing the first book but trust me… keep going

loving the sherlock holmes full deep dive. love for this content. thank you queen brittany.
I just want to let you know that your channel is the only podcast-style channel I follow and also the only 1-person show I follow, and that’s because you’re just extremely entertaining and I relate to you in a visceral way. If we knew each other IRL I feel like we could be besties and I don’t think there’s a single podcast host I can name for which I feel the same thing haha.
There is nothing like crying with another woman who you have truly no relation to, who doesn’t know you exist, over the love and respect you have towards other women. I feel sisterhood in this Chili’s tonight.
You were watching the pod at chilis? Were u w ur fam?
Haha office reference yess
🙏🙏
I also feel the sisterhood tonight she is SPEAKING
Now… why would you ratio me like that with my own words
that speech from the book made me cry cuz it was exactly what i needed to hear rn
The sisterhood talk made me cry, I miss my sister and hometown friends so much too, all the time. Women are amazing. I also appreciate you mentioning the phone stuff bc it’s so real 😭 I’ve found, since reading, that my attention span lasts much longer and I wonder if reading more books would help with all of it? I wonder if books were as distracting as phones in the Victorian era also? Ty Brittany for alllll the discourse you offer, ur a treasure tbh 💕
