summer is over + so are condoms
brat summer may be wrapping up, but young people aren’t.

bought a home & our generation is screwed
i’m lucky and grateful for my unique set of circumstances – most others categorically don’t have, or just don’t fancy. I’m currently in the process of moving into my first flat in the UK, I’m rapidly approaching 30 and have a daughter to keep clean, dry, and fed. Ruby is the...

🎶 Music + pop culture

there is always too much going on. Hello honey! 🍯🐝 We’re back again with another Tuesday newsletter, and lucky for you all, I’ve been chronically online this weekend, which means this edition will be full of juicy juice. I’m willing to admit that it could also be complete garbage – but who doesn’t love a little shake up from time to time? Variety is the spice of life, after all. This week we’ll...
Gen Z is healthy and boring
are the kids having fun? Welcome to the latest edition of The Gen Zer. This week, we discuss health, fun and phone-use amongst young people. We also take a look at doom spending, PowerPoint parties, and more . . . Okay, I’ll admit — I wasn’t being entirely serious in the title.

will I ever heal my relationship with my body?
though I’d vehemently deny it if you ever brought it up, I cannot remember ever caring about my physical appearance in a way that could be considered ‘healthy.’ I’ve always wondered what it would be like to look in the mirror and feel optimistic about what’s in front of me.
