Welcome back, pals! 

Our chit-chat this week starts off with Maggie’s honest Instagram story and how actor Rami Malek reached out to ask Rachel Bilson (AKA Summer Roberts) to take down an Instagram pic. 

Ah celebrities - they’re just like us. 

After that, we discuss Billie Eilish’s new music video ‘Your Power’ and ask why female pop musicians reinvent themselves (what feels like) every two years.

Jasmine reads from this Guardian article by Andre Spicer and recommends Taylor Swift’s Miss Americana documentary. 

Next up is a breakdown of TikTok creator and musician Peach PRC’s allegations against comedian Alex ‘Shooter’ Williamson.

This leads us into a conversation around Australia’s sexual assault legal system and why Australia didn’t have as big of a #MeToo movement as the US. Jasmine references this ABC report and this BBC article.

Jas recommends the podcast Why Are We So Obsessed With Productivity?  by Educated Messes: Mental Health, Relationships, Work & Well-Being while Maggie recommends the book Small Beauty by Jiaqing Wilson Yang. 

In a Culture Club first, we BOTH recommend Fangirls Musical a musical created by Yve Blake and directed by Paige Rattray. Maggie references Yve’s Ted Talk. If you’re in Melbourne get tickets here before May 9! 

That’s all, folks. 

Maggie and Jas xoxo
