  • The Turn of My Screw: Horror Story IRL?

    If you want to hear me overshare, you're in the right place! Today I share my analysis of The Turn of the Screw by Henry James - a story that seems to relate to my real life troubles. I discuss daydreaming, main character energy, and why romance movies are destructive. This also contains my english assignment but in podcasty entertainment form.

    English analysis: 4:26-13:13 and 15:38-16:23

  • Comment On My Instagram Posts

    I sound angry here because it's time to talk about Instagram, one of the most influential applications today. Although I hardly scratch the surface, I discuss how we can utilize the app differently as a social platform, an art portfolio, or an interactive experiment (my personal favorite). I have so much MORE to say, so if you would like to be featured as a guest for a particular Instagram/ social media topic, let me know. Please!

  • A Frazzled Julia Talks About Her Feelings: Halloween, Holidate, & the Election

    In this episode of brain soup, I talk about how the election is very much affecting my mental health, and how Halloween doesn't do very much to make that better (I hate Halloween - listen to find out more). I also talk about the Netflix movie Holidate. Why does it exist? If you are feeling just as discombobulated as me right now, listen to this episode to feel seen. Love u, stay strong, contact me if you wanna talk!

  • Greek Mythology's Most Eligible Assholes

    Here you will find a rendition of how generational trauma runs amuck in the godly family, how Medea killed everyone close to her only to get dumped by a toxic man, and how Demeter was so depressed that she accidentally ate a dead dude's shoulder. Greek mythology is full of terrible people, but today I reviewed some of the worst! I hope you giggle!

  • The Language of Music

    How does music make you feel? Where does it make you feel? Why and when? This week I discuss music, its effects on people’s feelings, and how it fills in the gaps between human perspective and spoken language.

    P.S. I know I used the word "invoke" when I should have been saying "evoke." I'm so embarrassed.
