Happy weekend, beautiful people!

We kicked off this week's episode with a talk on the Pick-Me Girl trend happening all over social media and how it relates to feminism. Still in the topic of feminism-adjacent, we brought up the controversial magazine headline that caused model, Tess Holliday, to fight back on Instagram from being voted "the worst beach body of 2021" We're with you, Tess!

And then, with the closing of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics happening this weekend, we discussed what is actually going on with the Olympics. Speaking of which, should it even have happened this year?

We notice the various underlying events happening and so, next week, we'll dissect a lot more of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics from feminism to mental health.
