her talking about how everyone is so much more than their bodies in the same episode where she says Sam Hartman should sit still look pretty is exactly why i tune in every week
As an indigenous viewer I’m glad you decided to educate yourself on indigenous issues. To many people like to brush off our issues with colonization because we “lost” or refuse to listen to us because they are so quick to get defensive. Loved the quote We are here to educate, not forgive. We are here to enlighten, not accuse. ❤
Thank you for talking about native Americans. Although I am from Canada. All indigenous people of the North American continent were affected by this. My mom is full indigenous Cree and my grandparents as well so this runs deep for me and makes me feel so grateful that there are young girls looking up to you to learn about this important history
the indigenous people’s history book is FANTASTIC. we read it in one of my philosophy classes, and it was one of the first books i actually had to sit back and cry. if you haven’t read it, please do, it is PHENOMENAL!!
our almighty supreme leader stating she does not think she has ADHD, and then exemplifying ADHD at its core with (every episode, in particular) the 100-0 transition of Sam Hartman to Obamas favourite music of 2023 makes me belly chuckle. i have diagnosed ADHD and Brittany is my internal dialogue come to life to a TEE😅😅
Our leader truly represents us common plebians📈 THE IDEAL WOMAN ‼️ This is how an intellectual communicates. (I can relate lol got diagnosed only a couple weeks ago and was in denial despite multiple people saying to get tested for it but here we are)
i would pay an exorbitant sum to have brittany be the voice of an audiobook. i love hearing her read things aloud and it takes me back to when i was little and teachers used to read stories aloud
hello fellow canadian! can i ask where you’re from? because unfortunately i cannot say i learned an accurate indigenous history anymore than brittany 😭
I only learned about canadas indigenous history when I moved to Canada, I luckily had a teacher who wasn’t allowed to talk about it but did it anyway, other wise living in Canada I wouldn’t have known.
Fellow French Canadian here, and can confirm all of primary and secondary education learned jackshit about indigenous culture, lives and our colonization of them and their land. It took going to a cegep (quebec schooling in between highschool and uni) that was very open to the indigenous community for me to learn about residential "schools" and the genocide and violence done to the indigenous community. History is my favorite subject and I was very sad to have been cheated of this information, because I could of grown more as a person and be a better ally to the indigenous community
“You never lose that little fat girl in you” hits so deep. I’ve been chubby, fat, “morbidly obese”, all different shades of “bigger girl” throughout my life and have gone on to lose 100+ lbs and am now “normal BMI”. Those formative years stay with you, even as you see people start to treat you differently. I was having an conversation with my inner child earlier. She suggested that maybe being 100 lbs. would be a good goal. I was like, “then we’d be underweight”. And she had this kind of frantic, panicked response of “but no one would ever be able to call us fat again”. And I had to unpack it, and I realized the decoded message was that sad little girl telling me “I don’t ever want to be hurt like that again. Please tell me there’s a way to make myself small enough where no one else can hurt me like that”. And I just had to hug myself and hug her and tell her “baby girl, health is our goal. If we are healthy, and someone has a problem with it, that is their problem, and they aren’t getting us to our ultimate goal. We are enough right now, and I love you.” I’m tearing up as I type this because I don’t know if that pain ever goes away fully, but even if it doesn’t, I have to keep showing up for her and reminding her of her worth. And that’s just the experience of growing up a little fat girl, I think.
Oh I feel this. We need to be kinder to our younger self. Normally a lot of people speak to their inner child for comfort, ours? Not so nice. But she's hurt. It's so hard growing up in a bigger body and it stays with us forever. We will continue to grow and love ourselves ❤
@@hayleyemma7953 Absolutely. I went through of phase of just being angry with her, but now I know she’s just hurt and scared and misguided. She wants to protect us, but she doesn’t really know how yet. And it’s not really her job to anyway. She’s supposed to be in charge of playing and creativity and things like that. Genuinely though, it wouldn’t surprise me if most people had a wounded inner child. Does anyone truly make it out of childhood or adolescence unscathed? That said, it’s a specific kind of hurt growing up in a bigger body, for sure. But there are up sides, I think. Like Brittany mentioned, you develop your humor and your mind. And because I’ve experienced the negativity and even cruelty at times, I’m more motivated to compliment and hype people up around me (especially my bigger girls ❤️). And there’s probably more good things besides those. Where there is shadow, there is also light, you know? But yes, we will grow and heal and continue to nurture our inner children! I want you to know that I’m genuinely rooting for you and your healing, and I wish you the absolute best of what life has to offer! ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing. I as well have struggled with my weight. I’ve gone from fat to skinny and skinny to fat. Like you I’d tell myself we need to lose the weight. I was so tired and exhausted of people telling me I’ve gotten fatter when really I was a great weight size. People don’t understand that those words stay with you your whole life.
I really wasn’t expecting to hear you speak of this country’s history regarding indigenous peoples. I’m Nez Perce and was raised to have a very strong grasp on what my people endured in the past, a deep understanding of our culture, and to be incredibly proud of our people. I encourage you to look in to the Nez Perce people. Chief Joseph is one of the most incredible people to exist, in my opinion. I learned his teachings at a very young age and it has stuck with me my entire life.
Thank you for your information, that sounds fascinating to learn about. I'm going to be studying Indigenous people from around the world very soon (as part of my major) and I will be sure to keep this in mind!
54:54 I was on weight watchers on and off from age 8-16. The maintenance phase episode about it made me absolutely sob. My sister watched it before me and gave me basically a trigger warning. When you sit down and think how that shit has affected you throughout your life, it’s insane, and so sad.
I appreciate you speaking so respectfully of native traumas. I didn’t think I could love you more and you keep proving me wrong 💕🫶🏼 -a native girly in her 20s

The topics of 40:00 is the reason i love this podcast so much. I love how i can laugh, have serious thoughts and then go back to laughing again. Like you said we like a silly haha to listen to but the serious is just as important too, im from the south too so not many people are willing to talk about such topics without feeling like its a personal attack. You put it perfectly. This podcast feels like im staying up all night with my best friend where we talk about the stupidist things and the most eye opening things
Hey! I have PCOS and endo. One bread that I can have that doesn't destroy me is Sourdough. It doesn't send me flying into pain. I'm not saying I have it every day all the time but yeah. Also alcohol is a nono, it'll make ya feel real bad. If you're pre-diabetic I'd ask about jardiance, it's something that will tackle it aggressively. The hormone stuff is gonna do wonders. A reg sleep schedule too. It's literally so much work, know you're allowed to slip up. Find stuff that work for you when it comes to pain. You'll feel great! Good luck on your PCOS journey and hello cyster! (Fun fact! PCOS is now starting to be researched more and more. The % of uterus having people who have been diagnosed in the last 10 years is continuing to grow the more doctors take is seriously.)
I lost my dog 2 weeks ago today and I've been waiting patiently for our first nation announcement since the holiday season. Hands off the wheel, eyes closed, body is READY
Me screaming “BRITTANY NOOOOOO” when she said she doesn’t really wanna read ACOSF 😀 like no matter how you feel about Nesta, that book is actually life changing in terms of self reflection & mental health 😭
my stepdad bought fourth wing thinking it was a high fantasy book like the lord of the rings or the wheel of time. which he loves. The sound that came out of me when I saw it on his bookshelf was out of this world.
I am typically a silent viewer and literally never comment on anything but you HAVE TO READ SIVER FLAMES. It was such an incredibly impactful book and has genuinely become one of my favorite books in the series. The character development, the romance, the friendship, EVERYTHING. Please please I’m begging you
I fcking love u dude. I had that same breakdown moment in 2020 where I realized everything I’ve been taught in school is a narrative perspective of reality- I dug into my college classes and I adored my sociology theory readings and oral history and journalism classes- but now I’m graduated and craving more. I am so glad other people feel this way and want to actively readjust their Pense of understanding.
read silver flames!! it also took me a couple of years to pick it up but it brings new perspective to nesta and i really enjoyed her friendships and how she decides to turn her life around. the new characters are a great addition
I am absolutely begging for a Megan the stallion deep dive PLEASE I adore her so much. she is musically and lyrically a genius and not only that but she's able to rap with other genres and it works perfectly It doesn't matter if it's metal, Spiritbox, or pop, Renee Rapp, it just works so well. and her story and what she's been through and gone through? oh my God. she is such a strong fierce determined and powerful woman I love her so much. and she's so so beautiful It's insane. when I think of the perfect woman I think of her
It’s super interesting to me as a British person, I have learned at lot more about the “Empire” visiting places that were colonised by us. I think there’s an understandable shame in the UK.
I’m getting out of a situationship, and girl you are saving me. I just need to think about the loud incorrect buzzer sound whenever I think of him dkwkkfksldld
wow the take that your family has on defending settlers vs native Americans is fascinating. It really goes to show how people are products of their environment, especially where you live and grow up. I grew up in Connecticut and being in New England, we learned so much about native Americans throughout the public school systems and my family/ educators never had a defensive take (for settlers). I mean every where you go in CT there are still stone walls that were erected by natives, we have the casinos on tribal land, so many indigenous named parks. That's really eye opening. Just really fascinating to compare our experiences. thanks for sharing!
53:10 this reminding me that my mom and Grandma always get annoyed when I tell them about a creepy thing a man has said to me and they say, especially my Grandma "oh they just think you're cute!" Or "they're flirting with you, you should take it as a compliment!" And I ever since I became a sentient human in high school, I have REFUSED to encourage a man's creepy behavior towards me or any other woman. And I will not apologize to my mom or Grandma for that, I love them, but I will not apologize.
Never would I have imagined that an American content creator would talk about a song I used to growing up listening to in my small Spanish town. Thank you for sharing our music Brittany!! 💛 Love Fondo Flamenco
I recommend reading There There by Tommy Orange. It's about the Urban Natives and the lives of many people trying to figure out where they fit, into their Native Culture. It is so eye-opening, has amazing symbolism, and can be relatable in many different ways. I'm reading it in my English Lit class and it's a great book.
I just read a book called “Tell Me Why My Children Died” about a rabies outbreak in Venezuela in the Indigenous communities that killed many many many children in 2008 and was essentially brushed aside and dismissed by the gov and health officials for a number of reasons. It’s not American history, but it’s a book that really broadened my perspective of indigenous peoples and just how globally these populations have been dismissed, displaced, and discriminated against at the cost of their lives. It’s an incredibly heart wrenching book. At the end you said that there’s nothing worse than a doctor feeling like they don’t give a shit about you. There’s a lot of that in this, from a completely different perspective. And it’s even more enlightening in a post covid world because we’ve all experienced a pandemic now. ( the rabies was an epidemic but still) I’m sure there will be books and papers coming out in the next ten to twenty years about how covid impacted indigenous communities.
My mom had to go gluten and dairy free for health reasons, and my sister did as well for a period of time. It's definitely hard to adapt to at first, but after you find food products that you really like (there are good pastas and bread, as well as dairy alternatives that are yum) the world starts to open up a bit again. You got this!
i was in the middle of writing a uni essay while having this on and suddenly having my name (36:35) said spooked the shit out of me my gut literally dropped to the floor
i read fourth wing and iron flame in literally one day. it was SO much better than i thought! the hype had me questioning if it was all booktok being feral or not. SO glad you read/are reading them! i can’t wait for more books in the series.
The Barack Obama's playlist bit reminded me of when the president of Spain, Pedro Sánchez (a total dilf btw) went on a podcast and said he loves Lana del Rey and Caroline Polachek
INDIGENOUS REPRESENTATION!!!!!! Wow! So beautiful to see my people being represented on such a fantastic podcast, representation matters! Thank you Brittany, for educating yourself on such important topics in which people never think about including within general discussions. Indigenous history is most important, and hearing it on my favourite podcast, truly makes me proud. 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
As a fellow PCOS sister, please please please keep talking about your diet changes/treatment plan whatevs and how it’s working out for you coming from someone who can’t afford a specialist 🤩🤩🤩
Girlie I want to follow-up on your book recommendations but I cannot do YA-style romances 😭 The negative reviews for Throne of Glass (and ACOTAR) gave me a CLEAR sign it wasn't gonna be for me. I really cannot do cringe Mary Sues and cringe love triangles, no matter how hot and heavy the book is. In general I don't really like the romance genre, but female-targeted series focus so heavily on romance that it can't be avoided--but my god I am so over the "bad boy but he's HOT?? vs. cute nice guy but he does NOT have huge rippling abs" type of tropes (not saying the love interests in ToG fit that specific description, but let's be real... there's always the bad boy and he always wins, I ain't reading it.) I'm not judging the series itself nor the fans; I'm sure I would LOVE it if I also liked fanfiction or romance novels! But on a personal level, if the romance is not something that occurs naturally within a series that ISN'T a romance series, then I can't do it. Especially because 99% of romance tropes are super toxic. Now surprisingly, Fourth Wing does NOT have any 1 star reviews, but I am seeing similar concerns with the main character (not with being a Mary Sue thankfully, but some are saying she falls into the "very very weak but also apparently she's strong and feared for some reason" category). The world-building itself seems very promising (even from an outsider's perspective), but I'm sorry I really cannot get into a series if I don't like the main character LOL. I'm sure the series is otherwise really amazing, it *sounds* really amazing, but I fear for the characters, and for me, the most important part of a book is its characters. I'm autistic so NO I cannot let that one go 😂 I'm happy watching female authors take over the fantasy genre! I just wish they weren't romance-oriented. I strongly believe every story should have love, but not every story should be about love. Even though The Hunger Games has some focus on romance, some of these new romances make you REALLY understand just how special THG was. I didn't get into it until I became an adult (to clarify, I never got the chance to read it as a teen; I wasn't just a hater until I hit 21 lol). But the fact that I COULD get into THG, a YA series targeted to girls, especially given the circumstances with how sexist female-oriented literature is, tells a LOT about just how good that series was! THG transcends its covers; it reaches us on a personal and social level. Probably a top 5 dystopian series for me. Here's the part where I BEGGGG for fantasy recommendations. I love Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings (+Hobbit!) but I would really like to be into more fantasy novels that don't center around men (or romance! let romance be a spice, not the meal!). I can't do sci-fi, I'm sorry, I also really love science and I cannot suspend my disbelief long enough to enjoy Doctor Who or Star Trek (Star Wars was my one exception but that's because I hold special memories with it). If anyone has any female-MC fantasy (maybe period piece?) novels/series that aren't also about who the MC is trying to decide who to have s*x with, PLEASE drop some recommendations! I'm desperate at this point. I WANT to love fantasy but it's so inaccessible for people who don't like romance-focused writing. I just wanna read about cool magic and adventures and dragons maybe. :( (Edited for clarity.)
Hoping that book covers the history of the Hawaiian people. It’s so overlooked. Hope you speak on it Brittany! I love that you chose for yourself to read more about perspectives other than your own! LOVE YOU
I love that Brittany is talking about and educating herself on Native American’s history and the settlers crimes against them, but I can’t help but feel frustrated she’s not talking more about what’s going on in 🍉. when it’s a very similar thing going on. Please correct me if I’m wrong, I’m not super into socials. But it’s really disheartening.
thank you for your videos i’m straight up going through a quarter life crisis but i’m sitting here in my hoodie blanket laughing my ass off god i needed this!
For a lighter Indigenous read, I recommend reading Braiding Sweetgrass. There is so much trauma being Indigenous in the US and this was such a light and loving book to bring me back towards appreciation for our land.
I second this! Robin Wall Kimmer is an amazing author and that story had me in tearss. Her personal story of her and her family is so intimate and raw. It sheds a lot of light on how much a worldview can change if you open your eyes to the gifts of mother nature.
I had the exact same conversation with my mum about catcalling. It’s disappointing how dismissive she was of how catcalling from 30 year old men, WHEN I WAS 16, made me uncomfortable. She said I should take it as flattery and I should be grateful??? Like HUH??? I WAS A CHILD. The most uncomfortable thing is that it stopped after my teen years.
Same here. 14 was my biggest year for it, and now I’m 20 still hiding my body - it’s so frustrating and upsetting at how people overlook that scummy shit. Wishing you the best ❤️
I feel you men thought I was 18 or older when I was 14-15+ because I’m very developed and have a nice filled out body. I hated the feeling of grown men looking at me at such a young age. I’m sorry your mom responded that way and I hope you’re doing well beautiful!
THIS. When I was in my early 20s, I was relieved to notice I almost never got catcalled, even though I was walking much more, through the same kinds of neighborhoods. Patriarchy, misogyny, and p*dophilia all go hand-in-hand.
her talking about how everyone is so much more than their bodies in the same episode where she says Sam Hartman should sit still look pretty is exactly why i tune in every week
and she is absolutely right

I am absolutely begging for a Megan the stallion deep dive PLEASE I adore her so much. she is musically and lyrically a genius and not only that but she's able to rap with other genres and it works perfectly It doesn't matter if it's metal, Spiritbox, or pop, Renee Rapp, it just works so well. and her story and what she's been through and gone through? oh my God. she is such a strong fierce determined and powerful woman I love her so much. and she's so so beautiful It's insane. when I think of the perfect woman I think of her
It’s super interesting to me as a British person, I have learned at lot more about the “Empire” visiting places that were colonised by us. I think there’s an understandable shame in the UK.
I’m getting out of a situationship, and girl you are saving me. I just need to think about the loud incorrect buzzer sound whenever I think of him dkwkkfksldld
brittneys texan accent REALLY came out here … she came home ❤
Felt that he don’t want me but god do I want him 😭😭😭 yearning is real
I love the little vocab lessons in each episode. I get a little smarter after each episode and soon I will be a functioning member of society!

Pls pls pls do a meg thee stallion episode so many people don’t know her whole story
Can't wait to see Trixie rocking this merch on an upcoming podcast
wow the take that your family has on defending settlers vs native Americans is fascinating. It really goes to show how people are products of their environment, especially where you live and grow up. I grew up in Connecticut and being in New England, we learned so much about native Americans throughout the public school systems and my family/ educators never had a defensive take (for settlers). I mean every where you go in CT there are still stone walls that were erected by natives, we have the casinos on tribal land, so many indigenous named parks. That's really eye opening. Just really fascinating to compare our experiences. thanks for sharing!
Removed the wheel off my car to truly be hands free with my eyes closed!! So happy to be back Broski Nation
I can't have bread as well and the olive garden bread bit hit me so hard 😂
53:10 this reminding me that my mom and Grandma always get annoyed when I tell them about a creepy thing a man has said to me and they say, especially my Grandma "oh they just think you're cute!" Or "they're flirting with you, you should take it as a compliment!"
And I ever since I became a sentient human in high school, I have REFUSED to encourage a man's creepy behavior towards me or any other woman. And I will not apologize to my mom or Grandma for that, I love them, but I will not apologize.
I say “I hope you have a tram-tastic day” all the time bc of the Universal tour 😭
Never would I have imagined that an American content creator would talk about a song I used to growing up listening to in my small Spanish town. Thank you for sharing our music Brittany!! 💛 Love Fondo Flamenco
The comparison between Rhysand and 2009 Adam Lambert had me dying
I recommend reading There There by Tommy Orange. It's about the Urban Natives and the lives of many people trying to figure out where they fit, into their Native Culture. It is so eye-opening, has amazing symbolism, and can be relatable in many different ways. I'm reading it in my English Lit class and it's a great book.
29:08 Brittany giving us a heads up how close we are to the end of the Sam Hartman lecture unit
I just read a book called “Tell Me Why My Children Died” about a rabies outbreak in Venezuela in the Indigenous communities that killed many many many children in 2008 and was essentially brushed aside and dismissed by the gov and health officials for a number of reasons. It’s not American history, but it’s a book that really broadened my perspective of indigenous peoples and just how globally these populations have been dismissed, displaced, and discriminated against at the cost of their lives. It’s an incredibly heart wrenching book. At the end you said that there’s nothing worse than a doctor feeling like they don’t give a shit about you. There’s a lot of that in this, from a completely different perspective. And it’s even more enlightening in a post covid world because we’ve all experienced a pandemic now. (
the rabies was an epidemic but still) I’m sure there will be books and papers coming out in the next ten to twenty years about how covid impacted indigenous communities.
You have the incredible ability to make very lonely people feel like they have someone. I love you and you’ll never know how much I appreciate you
My mom had to go gluten and dairy free for health reasons, and my sister did as well for a period of time. It's definitely hard to adapt to at first, but after you find food products that you really like (there are good pastas and bread, as well as dairy alternatives that are yum) the world starts to open up a bit again. You got this!
Brittany I SWEAR TO GOD I thought I’d hate ACOSF… ended up being tied as my favorite book of the series. I promise you will LOVE Nestas development
YES!!
i was in the middle of writing a uni essay while having this on and suddenly having my name (36:35) said spooked the shit out of me my gut literally dropped to the floor
We can tell you've been around family because I can hear your accent way more this episode 😂 I love it!!!
The website for your merchandise looks amazing… whoever did the designing and styling thank you😣 she looks so cute on the pictures
Brittany I NEED to hear your review about Saltburn
LETS GOOOOO. I MISSED THIS PODCAST. AND SHES BACK WITH MERCH
Pleeeaassee keep talking about health updates with PCOS i love learning more about this i have it too
we literally share the same brain bc i actually get so hyper fixated on something it’s so bad like you just understand me so well
I learn something new every time. I get a new hyper fixation every report.
This instantly brightens my day
I have PCOS as well and my dr is no help. Finding out, you can’t have bananas, avocados, coconut water, etc. Those are all my favorites! 😭
18:37 i own all of these books and started reading them when i was like 11 (crazy ik ) but theyre all amazing and can confirm her reaction is valid
i read fourth wing and iron flame in literally one day. it was SO much better than i thought! the hype had me questioning if it was all booktok being feral or not. SO glad you read/are reading them! i can’t wait for more books in the series.
In one day??? Girl did you even eat ??
Honestly Obama listening to water might be the most likely one for me lol
The Barack Obama's playlist bit reminded me of when the president of Spain, Pedro Sánchez (a total dilf btw) went on a podcast and said he loves Lana del Rey and Caroline Polachek
the way the merch practically teleported to my wishlist
the h3 podcast winter hiatus made me get into this podcast and now i’m driving no hands down the nj turnpike podcast volume on 100
INDIGENOUS REPRESENTATION!!!!!! Wow! So beautiful to see my people being represented on such a fantastic podcast, representation matters! Thank you Brittany, for educating yourself on such important topics in which people never think about including within general discussions. Indigenous history is most important, and hearing it on my favourite podcast, truly makes me proud. 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
felt the whole "im either heavily invested in this interest or not at all"
As a fellow PCOS sister, please please please keep talking about your diet changes/treatment plan whatevs and how it’s working out for you coming from someone who can’t afford a specialist 🤩🤩🤩
When she yells it’s like I’m back in high school and the class pissed off the teacher. It’s honestly a comforting vibe.
Notre Dame guy kinda looks like Hasan…?
everytime i listen to this podcast i feel so comfortable because it's like an episode of my own thoughts but unreleased edition
watching this while playing lol and my mum washing the dishes.
Girlie I want to follow-up on your book recommendations but I cannot do YA-style romances 😭
The negative reviews for Throne of Glass (and ACOTAR) gave me a CLEAR sign it wasn't gonna be for me. I really cannot do cringe Mary Sues and cringe love triangles, no matter how hot and heavy the book is. In general I don't really like the romance genre, but female-targeted series focus so heavily on romance that it can't be avoided--but my god I am so over the "bad boy but he's HOT?? vs. cute nice guy but he does NOT have huge rippling abs" type of tropes (not saying the love interests in ToG fit that specific description, but let's be real... there's always the bad boy and he always wins, I ain't reading it.) I'm not judging the series itself nor the fans; I'm sure I would LOVE it if I also liked fanfiction or romance novels! But on a personal level, if the romance is not something that occurs naturally within a series that ISN'T a romance series, then I can't do it. Especially because 99% of romance tropes are super toxic.
Now surprisingly, Fourth Wing does NOT have any 1 star reviews, but I am seeing similar concerns with the main character (not with being a Mary Sue thankfully, but some are saying she falls into the "very very weak but also apparently she's strong and feared for some reason" category). The world-building itself seems very promising (even from an outsider's perspective), but I'm sorry I really cannot get into a series if I don't like the main character LOL. I'm sure the series is otherwise really amazing, it *sounds* really amazing, but I fear for the characters, and for me, the most important part of a book is its characters. I'm autistic so NO I cannot let that one go 😂
I'm happy watching female authors take over the fantasy genre! I just wish they weren't romance-oriented. I strongly believe every story should have love, but not every story should be about love. Even though The Hunger Games has some focus on romance, some of these new romances make you REALLY understand just how special THG was. I didn't get into it until I became an adult (to clarify, I never got the chance to read it as a teen; I wasn't just a hater until I hit 21 lol). But the fact that I COULD get into THG, a YA series targeted to girls, especially given the circumstances with how sexist female-oriented literature is, tells a LOT about just how good that series was! THG transcends its covers; it reaches us on a personal and social level. Probably a top 5 dystopian series for me.
Here's the part where I BEGGGG for fantasy recommendations. I love Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings (+Hobbit!) but I would really like to be into more fantasy novels that don't center around men (or romance! let romance be a spice, not the meal!). I can't do sci-fi, I'm sorry, I also really love science and I cannot suspend my disbelief long enough to enjoy Doctor Who or Star Trek (Star Wars was my one exception but that's because I hold special memories with it). If anyone has any female-MC fantasy (maybe period piece?) novels/series that aren't also about who the MC is trying to decide who to have s*x with, PLEASE drop some recommendations! I'm desperate at this point. I WANT to love fantasy but it's so inaccessible for people who don't like romance-focused writing. I just wanna read about cool magic and adventures and dragons maybe. :(
(Edited for clarity.)
I think there is plenty fantasy books without a focus on romance, but youre just not searching in the right place…
@@driinah2307 Hey thanks for being useless! I was asking for recommendations, not a bitchy attitude!
@@driinah2307 Oh btw, while you're being a prick: are*, not "is". Maybe YOU should try searching for books.
Hoping that book covers the history of the Hawaiian people. It’s so overlooked. Hope you speak on it Brittany! I love that you chose for yourself to read more about perspectives other than your own! LOVE YOU
We need a Britney’s favorites list for books!!!
i do not read books but i will listen to you explain every book you read ever
Yeah this is gonna divert my morning routine by at least 30 minutes 🤭
I’ve never bought merch before. I was so close to getting a Kurtis Town… but I think this is gonna be the first time I’m gonna get some 😭
“Have you ever spoken a man?” This BROKE ME 😂
I love that Brittany is talking about and educating herself on Native American’s history and the settlers crimes against them, but I can’t help but feel frustrated she’s not talking more about what’s going on in 🍉. when it’s a very similar thing going on. Please correct me if I’m wrong, I’m not super into socials. But it’s really disheartening.
thank you for your videos i’m straight up going through a quarter life crisis but i’m sitting here in my hoodie blanket laughing my ass off god i needed this!
It feels like we’re on FaceTime 😂
also my Aussie family considers you our American cousin 🦅💕
Bestie you need to be on big thief and boygenius!!! Also Lucy's statement on Obama song list was LOL
BROSKI NATION I'VE MADE YOU GUYS PROUD!!! my ex texted me that he wanted to try again and I SAID NOO !!!! (I cried) IM STANDING ON BUSINESS

Brittany dropping the merch on the exact day I get paid is the exact kind of clarity i need when the universe is trying to send me a message
But where is it 🧐 am I dumb and overlooking the link ?
Also can't find it@@thickMilkk
i cant find it either @@thickMilkk
yeee I dont see a link either
@@thickMilkk
@@thickMilkk dude lmk if you find it i think i’m being slow too
For a lighter Indigenous read, I recommend reading Braiding Sweetgrass. There is so much trauma being Indigenous in the US and this was such a light and loving book to bring me back towards appreciation for our land.
I second this! Robin Wall Kimmer is an amazing author and that story had me in tearss. Her personal story of her and her family is so intimate and raw. It sheds a lot of light on how much a worldview can change if you open your eyes to the gifts of mother nature.
that book had me crying like every two pages. forever a favorite.
gorgeous life changing book!
braiding sweet grass was required for my college success class. it was really good!
10000% agree
Brittany's southern accent at an all time high after spending the break with her fam, love it
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO COMMENT THAT LOL
modus operandi 🤠🤠
I had the exact same conversation with my mum about catcalling. It’s disappointing how dismissive she was of how catcalling from 30 year old men, WHEN I WAS 16, made me uncomfortable. She said I should take it as flattery and I should be grateful??? Like HUH??? I WAS A CHILD. The most uncomfortable thing is that it stopped after my teen years.
Same here. 14 was my biggest year for it, and now I’m 20 still hiding my body - it’s so frustrating and upsetting at how people overlook that scummy shit. Wishing you the best ❤️
@@stuffystuffsityas6302same here
I was 14, looked around and realized grown men were yelling at me, a child. But ogling started at 11
I feel you men thought I was 18 or older when I was 14-15+ because I’m very developed and have a nice filled out body. I hated the feeling of grown men looking at me at such a young age. I’m sorry your mom responded that way and I hope you’re doing well beautiful!
THIS. When I was in my early 20s, I was relieved to notice I almost never got catcalled, even though I was walking much more, through the same kinds of neighborhoods. Patriarchy, misogyny, and p*dophilia all go hand-in-hand.
“I need a bearded man like water” is one of my favorite quotes of 2024 already
“You never lose that little fat girl in you” girl yes. That is the story of my life.
