I am surprised you haven't come across the extremely common way that women were legally silenced in the past, and still are. It is often featured in period dramas and books. Women are still called crazy and punished by losing their children even today, Britney Spears's experience being the most recent and obvious example. Patriarchy, misogyny and ablism causing a perfect storm of cruel control over women's lives. I makes me angry... oh but I shouldn't say so out loud incase someone calls me crazy and takes my children away.
We brits call a robe a dressing gown, and one of my most relateable memes of all time says: The magic of the dressing gown: Cold? Put on your dressing gown Upset? Put on your dressing gown Feeling lazy? Put on your dressing gown Life falling apart? Put on your dressing gown I’d like to add - Price of heating gone up in the cost of living crisis? Put on your dressing gown 🥰😂
As a mom of six, I just wanted to encourage you and say that what you've accomplished learning to nurse is no small thing! Although, each of my babies (now all adults) were different "nursers", none of them was as challenging as that first sweet child with a first-time mom! For me, grueling and joy are the perfect words to describe nursing. Bravo for you!
figuring out nursing was the hardest thing I've ever done. I'm so glad you made it through! For me, it's the most special thing. I'm so happy I got through to the other side of 'easy'
Amen. My son started nursing, then would pull off and SCREAM and not want to nurse. So I pumped for several months, around the clock, kept trying to heal my poor scabbed nipples and tried to get him back to breast. After about 3 months -- finally -he started nursing again. I saw three lactation consultants when he was refusing and they all said "you've tried everything, it's ok to give up" but I didn't and we made it many years after that. ANYWAY -- I know how hard it can be -- so brava, Hannah! (Disclaimer, if you didn't want to, couldn't breastfeed, or something else - no judgement. Just sharing the hell I went through with my son and saying "yay" to Hannah.)
@@womanofacertainage5892 i went through almost the same, and had to have surgery because a clogged duct turned into an egg sized abcès by the time my son was 3 weeks old. I hung in there and he started nursing again and then did until he decided he didn't need/want to anymore :) what did help me a lot was the lactation consultant saying : "you have to make your own choice, then it will be the right choice :)"
Some context for the tv show One Piece: One Piece is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. It has been serialized in Shueisha's shōnen (boy's) manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump since July 1997, with its individual chapters compiled into 107 volumes (small book format) as of November 2023. For reference an average number of volumes is about 7-9 for a short series and 20-30 for a longish series. This makes One Piece the long running manga that most people think of as being sooo long running. The anime began broadcasting in 1999 and is extremely popular and well known by most of the anime community. This Netflix show is therefore a new addition to One Piece's whole existence. And generally speaking while most live action versions of shonen anime have been unpopular and underwhelming, this adaptation is a slay (probably because the creator Oda was heavily involved in the production.)
The way Hannah talks about music and other cultural phenomena makes me think of Cady Heron, the way the other girls are like “omg, I love her, she’s like a Martian!” It’s delightful watching someone describe things without the hyperconnected cultural awareness that most 20- and 30-somethings on the internet have. I think we actually lose some of our ability to frame concepts because we’re too steeped in the sauce.
"I think we actually lose some of our ability to frame concepts because we’re too steeped in the sauce" this is SO profound and fresh to me, I am going to THINK ON IT
@@saram3156 Anytime I’m around someone over 60 or 70 and say something a little too poisoned by my internet brain rot, I suddenly have to explain it and get a nice reminder of how bizarre the references sound to a “normal” person.

I LOVE THIS. We should all work on exposing ourselves to more off-the-beaten path stuff, and developing our own preferences and standards for judging things that aren't solely keyed to ... Internet-Based Societal Norms Specific To Our Own Generation. I mean, I get that being "steeped in the sauce" is basically a jumpahead cheat-sheet for framing things because it allows for a whooooole lot of mutually-agreed-upon assumptions being in play without having to elucidate each one, but it's also really limiting? When you're primed to be specifically looking for characteristics that denote something is Within The Sauce, you're maybe less capable of appropriately judging things that're /outside/ it, so you're more likely to miss out on Great Stuff. (Or maybe your primary /goal/ is being part of that ongoing In The Sauce cultural conversation, which, okay, but seems kinda sad to me, unless spotting and tracking trends is your literal job.)
A modern day example of the stripping of rights is Britney Spears. I follow a disability rights activist named Imani Barbarin (crutches and spice) and the way the system still is so horrible to anyone they declare disabled is awful.
I was recently thinking how funny this is. There are these people on the internet that I quite randomly stumbled upon. And I get used to them and over time they become a part of my life and it's feels like they are friends. When you tell me about your success with your book I feel so much joy, as if my friend had told about her success. But it creates also hope - these things happen, good things happen, dreams sometimes do come true.
I'm so happy I was able to order multiple copies! I'm so unbelievably excited for you and this huge success ❤ Side note- Maybe a robe tour is in order.
Reading your videos's comment sections is always sure to cheer me up! This is such an interesting group of followers, we can always find the most insightful, thoughtful and deeply sensible comments. What a joy! And huge congratulations, Hannah! I'm so proud of you ❤
The "making my bed every morning" part reminded me of a book I read lately called "How to Keep House While Drowning" I loved the gentleness and self compassion of it. If things continue to feel chaotic, I would highly recommend! Also super super congrats on your book! I cannot wait to get my hands on it and see your spirit and love of poetry reflected through the verses :)
I love How to Keep House While Drowning! I listened to the audiobook, and I cried because I felt seen and held and un-shamed in the most beautiful way. Oh, and it’s been practically helpful for keeping my home more neat and sanitary as well!
So excited that you're into Orville! I've seen him live several times and have a tattoo based on his song Kalahari Down 😅 Your Elvis comp is dead on - he covers Unchained Melody live and it's totally transcendent, that feeling you're describing of being inducted by his voice x100. If you're willing to humor a recommendation, I cannot speak highly enough of Jaime Wyatt! Start with her song Neon Cross. So fun to have you back and glad you and the family are doing so well!
I own a Chanel shower gel and am not ashamed to indulge in that pleasure. Most recently, I got it from my husband as a gift. But I buy it happily for myself also. One of my friends told me: it is literally flushing money down the drain and I kind of agree. But I told her, I could be smoking and literally burning my money, but I took the high road 😂😂 We need to have pleasures in life and mine are almost always related to scents.
I mean you could say the same about people drinking a nice glass of wine being flushed down the toilet at the end 😂 - so go for it with your beautiful shower gel!!!
I love your unapologethic enthusiasm. And then I realise... I am the same, and I thought it was uncool, but how can it be uncool, when I enjoy it from both sides?
Hi Hannah, I lost my sweet soul mate kitty, Naga in a tragic accident this week. I have been binge watching your videos through deep, sorrowful valleys of feeling as I come to terms with this tremendous loss in my life. I have been watching your videos for about 3 years now, and I just wanted to know that in this time of distress and pain, your presence has been a soothing support. I would put your videos at the top of my "What's Cheering Me Up Right Now" list. I know its a little weird to hear from a stranger on the internet, but I really have felt it and mean it.
I’m so glad you raised “One Piece”! I used to have special time with my son each day before school watching the animated version. I can still remember the tune of the theme song. How exciting it will be to tell him it’s now a TV series and perhaps it will be something we can bond over now that he is a young adult. How funny! I never thought that would come up again in our lives 😮😊 Fear not about your book sales. I ordered a copy the minute you mentioned it and I can see others have too. I’ll try to find time to approach my library too as that’s a great idea. Lastly, if you’re interested in murder mystery period drama set just after WW2, have I got a show for you. It’s called Foyles War. It is exactly as you described your interests to be, the acting is superb and the sound track hauntingly beautiful. It’s a British TV show so that goes back some years so I’m not sure if it’d be on Netflix, but do see if you can find the first series if you can and give it a go. I commend it to you. So glad to have you back. Now go and have a snooze and we will see you next time 😊❤
Orville Peck is one of my favorite artist. ❤ When I first heard him I felt like I have been waiting for him/his music for a long time. So refreshing, new, and beautiful.
The robe shame is SO real and this has really blown my mind honestly. Felt crazy for wanting another despite a healthy collection already, but there is another box to tick in terms of weight, fluffiness, etc. Even if there weren’t, that would be ok too!! It’s funny I felt like I had to get rid of one first because the collection is too obscene and it’s been in a bag by the door to give to a friend but I keep finding myself unable to actually do it…. Feel like after this I can give myself permission to hang it back up with its peers and be proud.
As a longtime One Piece fan I’m so glad it cheered you up in a stressful time. I’ve watched and read a chunk of it and nothing is better than being stressed and being immersed in the outlandish realism of the show. It makes you laugh and has great turn off your brain moments but still has enough realism that your brain doesn’t completely shut off on you and when your done with your spurt you can jump back into your day.
You know how folks used to chant “encore” after performances? I have that in mind when I say: Robe tour! Robe tour! My latest robe love is ankle length, oversized, and velvety. All the elegant drama of a gown, all of plushness of cozy winter loungewear
Grueling is absolutely the word for learning to breastfeed. It’s such a relief over and over to hear other people describe how hard it is. It slowly breaks down the shame I have around the difficulty of my own experience. Thank you for taking a chip off of that shame block for me ❤
I can't wait to read your book! In the meantime, I would LOVE to see a dedicated book recommendation video. I remember quite a while ago you mentioned the Scholomance series in a what's cheeting me up video, and it was what got me back into reading (I had been on a long sabbatical from reading at the time). I'm here for the makeup but I think I trust you even more when it comes to books!
Some things that have brought me joy recently: - Cat sitting for my friend's very cuddly kitty - Archery - Dimension 20 (Dungeons and Dragons show on Dropout) - Doing my nails in very shiny colors - Station 11 (tv show) - Andor (tv show) Hannah you may enjoy -'Our Flag Means Death', a wholesome, funny, queer pirate show on HBO.
I DO know One piece & Orville Peck! Im also a mother of five who has probably spent hundreds if not thousands of hours nursing! Thank you so much for sharing what's cheering you up Hannah! 🥹🫶
Wow I'm so glad to have another robe sister! I have made it my personal mission to give a robe to all of my friends, because people do not understand the beauty of a robe until they have a good one. Love this and you! Thank you for another wonderful video:)
I’m a robe sister too! I had 6 before becoming nomadic in January, and the one I chose to bring (green silk knee length with kimono sleeve) has stayed with me and given me great moments of luxury and glamour in non-glamorous places!
the more you tell us about yourself the more i’m convinced we were cut from the same cosmic cloth, or something like that. i am a huge orville fan, so delighted to hear you talk about him!
note: i feel the same way ☺️ i loooooooove his music. i just love it. i saw him this past spring and it was such a cool experience, he’s truly one of the greatest artists of our lifetime and i’m so glad i didn’t miss discovering his music
What's cheering me up right now is the cover of your book!😀 ON ORDER! I'm one of the few who actually buy poetry books and can't wait for this one. I also randomly open up poetry books in stores to read in the moment...it feels like a gift whenever I do it. This video, and having you back is also what's cheering me up! Thank you! ☺
We don't know each other but i am also sooo proud of you! For all your accomplishments as a woman a poet an author a mom! It's like you're my Friend! Yay
Also a duvet user and bed-making devotee: one twist to consider - open the bed waaay up and spread pillows out, leave for a bit so the bed and bedding get dry and return to their maximum loftiness. Make the bed after. Savor the extra-delicious sense of poof when you flop your tired self into your nest at the end of the day. Putting pillows and duvet out in the sun periodically for extra loft is the best version of this.
This has inspired me to take some time and just relax with with a new album I've been meaning to listen to, with a beverage that makes me happy, with some craft that brings my hands satisfaction.
❗Important note ❗ Please always remember to air out your bed before you make it (the mattress, pillow and blanket)!!!! Never make your bed immediately after getting up/getting out of bed in the morning!!! Your body loses moisture (sweat, saliva etc.) through the skin and body orifices overnight and this moisture is absorbed by your bed textiles, even if it is only in small, barely noticeable quantities. If you make your bed immediately after getting up, for example by putting the duvet over the mattress and possibly even putting a bedspread over the duvet and pillows, your bedding cannot dry properly. Result: your bed possibly becomes a breeding ground for germs AND mold can form!
I wouldn't have discovered Orville Peck if it hasn't for you! I really love the album so far! Had to pause the video to listen to it. So calming. I love it! ❤❤❤
Hannah, I bought 2 books one for myself and one for my granddaughter, Stella, who is a freshman at Sarah Lawrence. I think she will love it. I can't wait to receive them,.
Several times in this video you lightly chastised yourself for going on too long about a topic. I just wanted you to know that each time you said something, my brain went, "Oh, I don't think it's been to long. I'm loving this." You geek out about things in a way that is so wonderful to listen to and makes me want to re-examine the little things in my life to appreciate them more.
I am so surprised and delighted that you enjoyed One Piece! I started reading the manga several years ago and my Husband and I have slowly been going through the Anime (it's ongoing still with over 1000 episodes😅) and despite it being something I never thought I would be into, it has become one of the most profound and special stories I've experienced. For me it's an example of long form media being super rewarding and worth the (very long) journey
The One Piece manga is honestly unparalleled... It's been such a joy to be obsessed for decades. To read chapter *1100* of a piece of fiction and be brought to tears? To know there are millions of fans worldwide on this same adventure with me? Oda is really an incredible man to have brought this world to life. I always feel like I'm gushing when proselytizing about One Piece to others but it's really that good haha
I perked up so fast at the mention of Orville Peck. I’m just as obsessed as you described. Elvis, yes, but more so a delightful combination of Roy Orbison and Chris Isaak for me ❤
I love the term “chaos of objects” my husband and I have felt that since becoming parents too. We make a point to tidy away all the toys etc every night. It only takes us ten minutes but feels great to have that adult time in an area that feels more adult and clear. And a great way to start the day.
I am so happy for you and proud of you that you worked to make your dream come to pass. Although I am new to the HLP crew, I am here because I knew you were special right away. Congratulations and keep going! Can't wait to read it!🎉🎉🎉
We got a king-size bed last year and it's the freakin best. I also am on the making bed train; the rest of my house is usually of *extremely questionable* tidiness and making the bed makes me feel like I'm managing to salvage one teeny scrap of functional adulthood 🥴
Wow! I have not been on in a while because of family stuff, and am new to the fact of your prize/book publication. Tony Hecht was one of my professors at GU back in the wayback, so doubly wonderful!!! Congratulations! I will pre-order immediately.
So I actually got a robe because of you. I got one of those ridiculous rich widow robes. I had been looking at them before, but after doing the thought process I realized that I needed something for what I wear after I come back from my ballet class, but before I put on pjs. And I found one second hand and it's fabulous.
When you were talking about The Robe Confrontation™, I knew it had to be the Print Fresh robe that he stole. 🤣😂 I remember you mentioning his deep love of it before!
I love that you and Joe watch Drag Race together ❤ I can't convince my partner to enjoy it with me but he certainly enjoys some of those runway looks 😅 I only send him the best of course. That is where I first was introduced to Orville Peck. Never looked up his music though, just saw his character. The fringe facekini does something for me.
Orville Peck! I wasn’t interested until I saw his AD home tour and I thought this guy lives in my dream home, so I have to vibe with his music. I’m obsessed. I’d call him outlaw country with psychedelic/surf rock influences and Elvis vocals
I *curse word* LOOOOOOOOVE ONE PIECE! The anime. And I’m SO appreciative that the live action is bringing people to the Oda’s (One Piece’s creator) work.
I was really curious about Orville Peck based on your description and I'm enjoying a lot his music, thank you for the recommendation! I also preordered the book from Brazil, it was surprisingly easy. I'm looking forward to reading it and I'm so glad for you!
I was wondering if your book would come out in audio form? Since I am blind and love to "listen" to books, I was just curious. Either way, I'm so very proud of you!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍
As someone who loves to knit large multi-coloured scrap yarn sweaters, I have been worried about my collection growing too large. But recently, similarly to you and robes, my feelings about my sweater collection have been shifting away from shame. I work from home and my home is relatively cold. One of the things that really get me down in winter is how much this limits what I can wear to stay comfortable, and by the end of winter I am losing my mind wearing the same thing every day. What cheers me up then is a lovely crazy handmade sweater. I will let myself make more ❤
I had to listen to Orville Peck after hearing your description of his music! Wow wow wow! I'm so struck by the earnestness in his voice. I wonder if the mask plays any part in allowing him to sing with such a vulnerable sincerity... But then at the same time it still seems somehow playfully tongue in cheek. So much to chew on just in ~*the tones*~
Hi Hannah. Congrats again on your first publication of your poetry. I live in the Brexit UK...not the EU (I wish) so it would be difficult to look out for your book. However, I will contact my family and friends who live in the USA and see if THEY will be interested in purchasing your book. I must admit that I LOVE it when my bed is made. A certain feeling of completion/satisfaction to my morning chores when I do this. Having a duvet makes it easier too. It'stripping the bed and washing, then making it that I do not like as much.
Just got your book. So excited!! Thank you. I read some of your poetry before and it’s stayed with me, so good. I will go to my library as well. Best of luck. Very deserving ❤❤
Orville is GREAT! I’ve seen him live three times and I get your obsession. My husband and I also would listen to Pony on vinyl and it was a go to album for us.
After listening to Orville Peck on your recommendation, I immediately thought of Chris Isaak, a bay area crooner and actor from the '80's...Peck is new and nostalgic at the same time! Thanks for the recommendation!

I would love to have a tour of your robe collection Hannah! Does anyone else feel the same?
Yess omfg!!!
100% there
A whole loungewear collection while she’s at it!
I was just about to comment this!!!
Yes! I commented the same!

As a Dutchy, I live by these rules 😁
@KirstyJonesLouise Hello fellow NZer!
As a recent fan of this channel, I am so happy to see other NZers here!😂🤩
When we get your book I’d love a little masterclass video on “ways to read poetry” for us unpracticed poetry readers. Love from NC❤
I am hoping for the same!
To tide you over, 52 Ways Of Looking At A Poem by Ruth Padel was absolutely indispensable to me while I was preparing to study English at uni.

Yesss I adore Imani!
Imani is wonderful! Their Instagram is such a great resource.
I just listened to Britney's audiobook. It's heartbreaking!
Delighted to see everyone watching One Piece after being a fan for well over a decade and a half. The live action is delight
The made bed effect is real!!! I wholehearted believe that looking at a made bed can make anybody's day better!
Hanna recommending One Piece live action wasn’t in my bingo card, but IM SO GLAD YOU LOVED IT YESSSS It is so precious!!! ❤ congrats on the book!!
Your mixed-metaphor graphic is truly cheering me up right now 😂
that was all Joe, as you can imagine :)

We need to have pleasures in life and mine are almost always related to scents.
I mean you could say the same about people drinking a nice glass of wine being flushed down the toilet at the end 😂 - so go for it with your beautiful shower gel!!!
I love your unapologethic enthusiasm. And then I realise... I am the same, and I thought it was uncool, but how can it be uncool, when I enjoy it from both sides?
Hi Hannah, I lost my sweet soul mate kitty, Naga in a tragic accident this week. I have been binge watching your videos through deep, sorrowful valleys of feeling as I come to terms with this tremendous loss in my life. I have been watching your videos for about 3 years now, and I just wanted to know that in this time of distress and pain, your presence has been a soothing support. I would put your videos at the top of my "What's Cheering Me Up Right Now" list. I know its a little weird to hear from a stranger on the internet, but I really have felt it and mean it.
Just ordered 4 copies of Julia Hungry for me and any women in my life who requires a thoughtful gift🥰
Can you do a video showing us your robe collection please? I just bought a new one and so excited to embrace “robe life”.
Yes! And big bodies check out peridot robes ❤
I’m so glad you raised “One Piece”! I used to have special time with my son each day before school watching the animated version. I can still remember the tune of the theme song. How exciting it will be to tell him it’s now a TV series and perhaps it will be something we can bond over now that he is a young adult. How funny! I never thought that would come up again in our lives 😮😊
Fear not about your book sales. I ordered a copy the minute you mentioned it and I can see others have too. I’ll try to find time to approach my library too as that’s a great idea. Lastly, if you’re interested in murder mystery period drama set just after WW2, have I got a show for you. It’s called Foyles War. It is exactly as you described your interests to be, the acting is superb and the sound track hauntingly beautiful. It’s a British TV show so that goes back some years so I’m not sure if it’d be on Netflix, but do see if you can find the first series if you can and give it a go. I commend it to you. So glad to have you back. Now go and have a snooze and we will see you next time 😊❤
Orville Peck is one of my favorite artist. ❤ When I first heard him I felt like I have been waiting for him/his music for a long time. So refreshing, new, and beautiful.
Love your love for Orville Peck!! All three albums are amazing. Try and see him live when he tours again. He's an amazing performer. 🤠
I love "WCMURN" content! I've been making the egg-y pancake that you talked about ages ago. YUM!! Congrats on the book, ordered mine yesterday.
Yay! Thank you!
I've also recently climbed aboard the eggy pancake train--it is truly a game changer!
@@airportcat Right?! It is so quick and easy. I sometimes add blueberries to mine. So good!
I had never heard of Orville Peck before and now I’ve been listening to him for days!
Lovely to have a new “What’s Cheering Me Up Right Now” video! And I would echo the request for a robe tour. 🤎🤎🤎
I have put in a request for my local library to stock your book. I even submitted the request twice so they knew I was serious. I’m so happy for you 💗
The robe shame is SO real and this has really blown my mind honestly. Felt crazy for wanting another despite a healthy collection already, but there is another box to tick in terms of weight, fluffiness, etc. Even if there weren’t, that would be ok too!! It’s funny I felt like I had to get rid of one first because the collection is too obscene and it’s been in a bag by the door to give to a friend but I keep finding myself unable to actually do it…. Feel like after this I can give myself permission to hang it back up with its peers and be proud.
Hannah, congrats again on the book. ❤❤❤❤ also, I adore Orville Peck! I’ve listened to him for years and he so earnest in his renditions. Love!
YOU are what's cheering me up rn ❤
As a longtime One Piece fan I’m so glad it cheered you up in a stressful time. I’ve watched and read a chunk of it and nothing is better than being stressed and being immersed in the outlandish realism of the show. It makes you laugh and has great turn off your brain moments but still has enough realism that your brain doesn’t completely shut off on you and when your done with your spurt you can jump back into your day.
You know how folks used to chant
“encore” after performances? I have that in mind when I say: Robe tour! Robe tour!
My latest robe love is ankle length, oversized, and velvety. All the elegant drama of a gown, all of plushness of cozy winter loungewear
Please tell Joe that the wagon-horse-boat edit was genuinely so funny!!
Thank you for sharing the joy with us. It’s cheering us up.
I just bought a grown up robe and waiting for it to arrive. I'd love to see your collection.
Grueling is absolutely the word for learning to breastfeed. It’s such a relief over and over to hear other people describe how hard it is. It slowly breaks down the shame I have around the difficulty of my own experience. Thank you for taking a chip off of that shame block for me ❤
I can't wait to read your book! In the meantime, I would LOVE to see a dedicated book recommendation video. I remember quite a while ago you mentioned the Scholomance series in a what's cheeting me up video, and it was what got me back into reading (I had been on a long sabbatical from reading at the time). I'm here for the makeup but I think I trust you even more when it comes to books!
Some things that have brought me joy recently:
- Cat sitting for my friend's very cuddly kitty
- Archery
- Dimension 20 (Dungeons and Dragons show on Dropout)
- Doing my nails in very shiny colors
- Station 11 (tv show)
- Andor (tv show)
Hannah you may enjoy -'Our Flag Means Death', a wholesome, funny, queer pirate show on HBO.
Hello fellow d20 fan!
Yes D20 is sooooo goood!
„Dead of Night” by Orville Peck lives rent free in my head and I love it, one of the most Beautiful songs I’ve ever heard
I DO know One piece & Orville Peck! Im also a mother of five who has probably spent hundreds if not thousands of hours nursing! Thank you so much for sharing what's cheering you up Hannah! 🥹🫶
Wow I'm so glad to have another robe sister! I have made it my personal mission to give a robe to all of my friends, because people do not understand the beauty of a robe until they have a good one.
Love this and you! Thank you for another wonderful video:)
I’m a robe sister too! I had 6 before becoming nomadic in January, and the one I chose to bring (green silk knee length with kimono sleeve) has stayed with me and given me great moments of luxury and glamour in non-glamorous places!
@@hollytheriot9357 How did you choose?? That would be so hard!
the more you tell us about yourself the more i’m convinced we were cut from the same cosmic cloth, or something like that. i am a huge orville fan, so delighted to hear you talk about him!
I also feel this way listening to Hannah. 🙌
note: i feel the same way ☺️ i loooooooove his music. i just love it. i saw him this past spring and it was such a cool experience, he’s truly one of the greatest artists of our lifetime and i’m so glad i didn’t miss discovering his music
What's cheering me up right now is the cover of your book!😀 ON ORDER! I'm one of the few who actually buy poetry books and can't wait for this one. I also randomly open up poetry books in stores to read in the moment...it feels like a gift whenever I do it. This video, and having you back is also what's cheering me up! Thank you! ☺
We don't know each other but i am also sooo proud of you! For all your accomplishments as a woman a poet an author a mom! It's like you're my Friend! Yay
I bought your book! I cannot wait to have it in my hands! You are amazing.
Also a duvet user and bed-making devotee: one twist to consider - open the bed waaay up and spread pillows out, leave for a bit so the bed and bedding get dry and return to their maximum loftiness. Make the bed after. Savor the extra-delicious sense of poof when you flop your tired self into your nest at the end of the day. Putting pillows and duvet out in the sun periodically for extra loft is the best version of this.
You’re such a great communicator. I could listen to you for hours. Thank you. I look forward to reading your book
Petition for a Hannah Louise Poston Robe Tour entitled, "Ma vie en robe."
I’ve missed these so much!
Dearest Hannah. Of course I bought your book. I may not understand a word of it but I wholeheartedly support you!!
just filled out a purchase order form for my local library asking them to buy your book!
This has inspired me to take some time and just relax with with a new album I've been meaning to listen to, with a beverage that makes me happy, with some craft that brings my hands satisfaction.
❗Important note ❗
Please always remember to air out your bed before you make it (the mattress, pillow and blanket)!!!! Never make your bed immediately after getting up/getting out of bed in the morning!!!
Your body loses moisture (sweat, saliva etc.) through the skin and body orifices overnight and this moisture is absorbed by your bed textiles, even if it is only in small, barely noticeable quantities. If you make your bed immediately after getting up, for example by putting the duvet over the mattress and possibly even putting a bedspread over the duvet and pillows, your bedding cannot dry properly. Result: your bed possibly becomes a breeding ground for germs AND mold can form!
Omg thanks for the music suggestion! Now we are two sisters who love is music!
I wouldn't have discovered Orville Peck if it hasn't for you! I really love the album so far! Had to pause the video to listen to it. So calming. I love it! ❤❤❤
Just bought your book!
Hannah, I bought 2 books one for myself and one for my granddaughter, Stella, who is a freshman at Sarah Lawrence. I think she will love it. I can't wait to receive them,.
I think we need a fashion video of your robe collection now. 😉
You book announcement is cheering me up too, im so excited to read it!
Several times in this video you lightly chastised yourself for going on too long about a topic. I just wanted you to know that each time you said something, my brain went, "Oh, I don't think it's been to long. I'm loving this."
You geek out about things in a way that is so wonderful to listen to and makes me want to re-examine the little things in my life to appreciate them more.
I am so surprised and delighted that you enjoyed One Piece! I started reading the manga several years ago and my Husband and I have slowly been going through the Anime (it's ongoing still with over 1000 episodes😅) and despite it being something I never thought I would be into, it has become one of the most profound and special stories I've experienced.
For me it's an example of long form media being super rewarding and worth the (very long) journey
The One Piece manga is honestly unparalleled... It's been such a joy to be obsessed for decades. To read chapter *1100* of a piece of fiction and be brought to tears? To know there are millions of fans worldwide on this same adventure with me? Oda is really an incredible man to have brought this world to life. I always feel like I'm gushing when proselytizing about One Piece to others but it's really that good haha
Please make an audiobook version of you reading your book of poetry. I know many of us would love that! Congrats!!
This might be a weird thing to say but it is lovely to spend time with you. I am always inspired ❤
This is a fun check-in! Thank you.
Robes are the easiest mode of clothing while nursing ❤ I'd love to see your collection of cozy clothes like robes, PJs, etc.
I perked up so fast at the mention of Orville Peck. I’m just as obsessed as you described. Elvis, yes, but more so a delightful combination of Roy Orbison and Chris Isaak for me ❤
I love robes. They are great to layer over your sweats or pajamas in the wintertime.
When I first met my now husband he had a bed in a bag from Walmart … I bought him beautiful sheets for Christmas and he has never looked back!
I love the term “chaos of objects” my husband and I have felt that since becoming parents too. We make a point to tidy away all the toys etc every night. It only takes us ten minutes but feels great to have that adult time in an area that feels more adult and clear. And a great way to start the day.
Aww congrats on the book. It’s such an amazing feeling AND also, superb cover!
I am so happy for you and proud of you that you worked to make your dream come to pass. Although I am new to the HLP crew, I am here because I knew you were special right away. Congratulations and keep going! Can't wait to read it!🎉🎉🎉
We got a king-size bed last year and it's the freakin best. I also am on the making bed train; the rest of my house is usually of *extremely questionable* tidiness and making the bed makes me feel like I'm managing to salvage one teeny scrap of functional adulthood 🥴
Wow! I have not been on in a while because of family stuff, and am new to the fact of your prize/book publication. Tony Hecht was one of my professors at GU back in the wayback, so doubly wonderful!!! Congratulations! I will pre-order immediately.
So I actually got a robe because of you. I got one of those ridiculous rich widow robes. I had been looking at them before, but after doing the thought process I realized that I needed something for what I wear after I come back from my ballet class, but before I put on pjs. And I found one second hand and it's fabulous.
I just signed to be notified in Germany when the book is out. Can’t wait to read it.
When you were talking about The Robe Confrontation™, I knew it had to be the Print Fresh robe that he stole. 🤣😂 I remember you mentioning his deep love of it before!
I love that you and Joe watch Drag Race together ❤ I can't convince my partner to enjoy it with me but he certainly enjoys some of those runway looks 😅 I only send him the best of course. That is where I first was introduced to Orville Peck. Never looked up his music though, just saw his character. The fringe facekini does something for me.
Orville Peck! I wasn’t interested until I saw his AD home tour and I thought this guy lives in my dream home, so I have to vibe with his music. I’m obsessed. I’d call him outlaw country with psychedelic/surf rock influences and Elvis vocals
I *curse word* LOOOOOOOOVE ONE PIECE! The anime.
And I’m SO appreciative that the live action is bringing people to the Oda’s (One Piece’s creator) work.
So so so excited for your book
I was really curious about Orville Peck based on your description and I'm enjoying a lot his music, thank you for the recommendation!
I also preordered the book from Brazil, it was surprisingly easy. I'm looking forward to reading it and I'm so glad for you!
Absolutely getting a copy of your book! Thank you for the other book recommendations. My library wish list needed more.
I was wondering if your book would come out in audio form? Since I am blind and love to "listen" to books, I was just curious. Either way, I'm so very proud of you!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍
I hope it will! I will work on it!
As someone who loves to knit large multi-coloured scrap yarn sweaters, I have been worried about my collection growing too large. But recently, similarly to you and robes, my feelings about my sweater collection have been shifting away from shame. I work from home and my home is relatively cold. One of the things that really get me down in winter is how much this limits what I can wear to stay comfortable, and by the end of winter I am losing my mind wearing the same thing every day. What cheers me up then is a lovely crazy handmade sweater. I will let myself make more ❤
Also loving Orville Peck 😊I feel like I know exactly what note you’re talking about
I had to listen to Orville Peck after hearing your description of his music! Wow wow wow! I'm so struck by the earnestness in his voice. I wonder if the mask plays any part in allowing him to sing with such a vulnerable sincerity... But then at the same time it still seems somehow playfully tongue in cheek. So much to chew on just in ~*the tones*~
One bought for me and others bought for my two closest libraries. Huge congratulations!
You can do it Poston! ❤🎉
Can we have the robe tour?? I’ve been leaning more into my love of robes and I would love to see your version up close ❤
Hi Hannah.
Congrats again on your first publication of your poetry. I live in the Brexit UK...not the EU (I wish) so it would be difficult to look out for your book. However, I will contact my family and friends who live in the USA and see if THEY will be interested in purchasing your book.
I must admit that I LOVE it when my bed is made. A certain feeling of completion/satisfaction to my morning chores when I do this. Having a duvet makes it easier too. It'stripping the bed and washing, then making it that I do not like as much.
I believe the book is actually from a UK press?
i support the WCMURN acronym! so intuitive!
I just pulled up Orville Peck and he does a cover of Smalltown Boy, it is very Elvis like and I love it! Thanks for the Intro to him.
I'm SO happy for you for your book and your baby!
I am definitely ordering those books. I love these videos and the passion with which you talk about things!
Just got your book. So excited!! Thank you. I read some of your poetry before and it’s stayed with me, so good. I will go to my library as well. Best of luck. Very deserving ❤❤
Orville is GREAT! I’ve seen him live three times and I get your obsession. My husband and I also would listen to Pony on vinyl and it was a go to album for us.
After listening to Orville Peck on your recommendation, I immediately thought of Chris Isaak, a bay area crooner and actor from the '80's...Peck is new and nostalgic at the same time! Thanks for the recommendation!
