October 2022 Reading List! (Patreon)

Articles

What is Happening with the UK Economy Right Now? Here’s what you need to know: is this article even relevant anymore? Who knows. Did I understand it all when reading it? Definitely not.

Videos

Compulsory Sexuality, Comphet & Asexual Alienation - I recently interviewed Evie Lupine for the podcast (coming soon!) and this was a video of hers I’d watched recently about compulsory heterosexuality which I hadn’t come across before but is really interesting.

Extreme SMALL ROOM makeover - Melanie’s office renovation and design! Love shit like this and complete coincidence but the green paint she uses is the EXACT brand and shade of green we used in our bedroom!

The Lost Art of TV Theme Songs - I love these kind of videos that Nathan does although is it a “lost art” because he uses some quite recent examples. Also, I wanna know people’s thoughts on the Game of Thrones style of intro because we’ve seen Bridgerton do a similar vibe and now the Rings of Power and is anyone else seeing this!??!!?

baby choosing outfit - the outfit at the end is hilarious, I full on cackled (sorry I’m linking to a short)

Lessons Learnt in a Weird Year - Love this video from Carrie. Have I met her before and does she know me? Yes. Do I still have a weird parasocial relationship with her where I want to know all the boyfriend and Andrew Lloyd Webber gossip? also yes.

How to Level Up Your Savings - one of you lot got me on to You Need a Budget (we’re currently doing the free trial and loving it so far!) but of course it means I’ve been knee deep in their YouTube videos about how to use the app.

Podcasts

The Prosperity Gospel: Evangelicalism & Personal Finance, Part 1: this is the first episode of a new podcast made by The Financial Diet called “Too Good to be True” essentially exposing all the gross and manipulative money scams that are out there and I am here for it. You know if Chelsea Fagan is behind something she’s going all in.

Book 7, Ep. 1 | Chosen One Narratives Revisited - Witch, Please are on the final book of their reboot series and I dunno if they have anything planned next but this kick off episode for book 7 was really interesting dissecting the kind of “heros journey” that Harry is on, how the book’s values are actually quite conservative and how for Harry, Ron and Hermione being a hero is very boring and involves a lot of camping.
