Hi, I haven't commented before, but I wanted to say that I really appreciate that you're not making a statement on the Israel-Palestine conflict and pointing multiple, dependable sources. While there is a lot of nuance with this conflict, I have been seeing quite a lot of misinformation (really appreciate the article by AP news) shared even by journalists that is later debunked or reported as "unsubstantiated claims", as by the LA Times for example. I have also seen people post about the rhetoric that is used by journalists to describe Israelis vs Palestinians and the conflict, and this reminded me to look at the words being used in news reports to see if the authors are expressing bias. There is a really great tiktok posted recently by the Jewish author @simkern where they talk about this, among other aspects of the conflict. I don't want to start any arguments about this topic, but being so far removed (culturally and physically) from what's happening over there made me realize I am very susceptible to any bias shown by a journalist (or influencer) and it's so important to look at the facts that have evidence to back up that they are, oh I don't know, FACTS! Love your newsletters and podcasts btw! Once I have an income I am for sure upgrading to a paid subscription! :)
Cassidy thank you so much for this! Its been a cruel week and my DMs are full of really nasty things right now (misdirected energy, I know) so this has truly made my day. I love you!
Yes Bel! So we’ll written. Such an ignorant thing for someone to say (yet unsurprising, unfortunately). Turning 30 made time seem like such an issue that it just wasn’t before, and it’s taken a good 9 months to really sit and be okay with my timeline.

Men out here thinking they own all the time 🙄
I really liked Season 4 of Sex Education, it's different though I think a few people left the cast
ok this gives me hope!
