Sarah starts binging The Gilded Age, and realizes days (weeks? years?) have gone by since she talked Bravo. So much has changed. The world of Housewives, somehow gilded and golden, Shan shining and aglow (some of that may be from all that hot air on Orange County creating a spa-esque facial). With so much to say, she Zooms up a Bravoholic pal ready to mention it all: Michael Arceneaux (New York Times bestselling author whose books include "I Can't Date Jesus). Over the course of this two-parter, they discuss privilege and punitive measures on Next Gen NYC, truthiness on RHOC, allegations of DV against Denise’s estranged husband, Julia's continued rewrite of her history with Guerdy, Gretchen's mistaken "gotcha!" about her engagement to Slade, what Angela has said about Phaedra's Athens accusation since the RHOA reunion filmed, and more. Sarah is starting to process, good to see you - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 689! Part 1!

Highlighted Organizations Supporting Civilians in Israel and Gaza:

Women Wage Peace: Women Wage Peace is the largest grassroots peace movement in Israel whose purpose is to promote a political agreement, involving women in the process. Today the movement has more than 44,000 members. 

NewGround: a Muslim-Jewish Partnership for Change: NewGround envisions an America where Muslims and Jews and others, both secular and religious, model lasting partnerships and engagement in authentic communication and mutual cooperation. The organization empowers Muslims, Jews and allies to bridge divisions and leverage shared values to strengthen our communities and our fragile democracy. 

Standing Together: Standing Together  is a progressive grassroots movement mobilizing Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel against the occupation and for peace, equality, and social justice. We know that the majority have far more in common than that which sets us apart and only a tiny minority benefits from the status quo. The future that we want — peace and independence for Israelis and Palestinians, full equality for everyone in this land, and true social, economic, and environmental justice — is possible.

Solutions Not Sides: Solutions Not Sides has been teaching skills of empathy, active listening, communication, critical thinking and conflict resolution through exploration of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict since 2010. Our programme is based on three key values: non-violence, equality for all, and the rejection of hatred.

Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF): PCRF is the primary humanitarian organization in Palestine, delivering crucial and life-saving medical relief and humanitarian aid where it is needed most. Access to essential resources like food, clean water, and healthcare is severely limited. Urgent action is needed. With your support, we can continue this vital work, ensuring that the over one million children of Gaza receive the urgent care they need and deserve. https://www.pcrf.net/
