Now… why would you ratio me like that with my own words

That thing Brittany said about friends who will blatantly text and drive GIRLLLL DON'T GET ME STARTED IT'S SO TERRIFYING 😭 I've got a "friend" I don't hang out with anymore, but for a while I was at the point where I'd always offer to drive because I could NOT stand to risk being the passenger in their car!! What's worse is I LITERALLY OFFER to handle their phone FOR them so they can keep their eyes on the road, but they say "nah it's okay!" and THEN CHECK IT ANYWAYS!!! The amount of times they'd go from 60 to 90 back to 60, toeing the line, FAST STOPS instead of gradual ones all because their PHONE was more important than the road??????? Oh my GOD it was awful. One time I was so scared they were going to rear-end someone at a stop light (they were on their phone again) that I accidentally blurted out "stop stOP" and I NEVERRR freak out like that (usually I'm silent if anything goes wrong lol). They didn't hit the car but they were like "oh sorry". WTF DO U MEAN "OH SORRY"??? GET OFF YOUR PHONE 😭 I'm at the point in life now that I'll just take the driver's phone form their hands if they're not stopped. Maybe their life isn't important to them, but MY life is important TO ME and I WILL ensure that I get home safely. STOP TEXTING AND DRIVING MFS!

i took last week off of social media (because im doing The Artist's Way workbook) and it was the best thing i couldve done for myself. getting rid of that compulsion to open instagram or tiktok was so hard, but i got rid of it!! im 25 and i was so tired of trying to fill silence in my day with tiktok or youtube. the break gave me a sense of control that ive never felt before, and the self discipline i developed over just one week was something i can realistically carry with me forever. i know its hard but what if its actually so much easier than we think ? finally feeling present for myself and other people has been the most rewarding part.

It definitely helps to fill the void of longing for a community of people who share the same values as you that many of us either never had or lost when we deconstructed from religion. 💞

this is slowly turning into a book podcast, and I am feigning for it I want more, and I love it, and I relate to her on every spectrum

on the cell phone etiquette convo, i think the reason why we can be apprehensive to calling people/friends out on the stuff they do, malevolent or not, is cause we lowkey know that if we do, its a 50/50 shot we stay friends with the person. to me, the response to the call out or convo thats had is so important. if the instinct is to get annoyed with me for even saying anything or have any type of overly self defensive/aggressive response is a major red flag. people dont like getting called out on their shit and in this age, they will drop you like a bad habit before actually reevaluating their own.

I mean really, how much do you hate yourself to project like that? Whether we like it or not, we are women. In the eyes of society, that's all we are. If I can't be anything else, I'm glad I'm at least a woman. You should be glad too. Please do some self-reflection. You do not need to drag us down like this with your own insecurities. Nobody thinks you're "unsafe"; and those that do aren't the kind of people you should listen to anyway. You'll live a lonely life without people to relate to.

I try to practice not getting on my phone even when it’s socially acceptable in public, like sitting in a waiting room or standing in line. I just sit there and look around, look at people, name all the different sounds I can hear. It’s immersion in daily life and it actually helps me be appreciative and loving toward my surroundings rather than cultivating escapism. Then in situations with family and friends, I don’t even have the urge to check my phone. It helps to not have many (or any) social media apps. Your part on sisterhood hit me because I struggle to maintain relationships with women for some reason. I’ve had lapses in trust with women I think, but I’m trying to get over that. I feel like we would be great friends, B, I appreciate your connectivity to life’s little things ❤️

Bachelor in Museum Studies here! The tiny portraits Brittany talks about are called cameos. They were made for all income levels with the less expensive ones being made of only one layer of carving (cheaper ones would be clay while more expensive ones might be a variety of materials layered on top of one another). The more expensive/high-class options generally had anywhere from 2-4 layers of carving which could be alabaster stone, mother of pearl, etc. those multilayered ones where often carved so that the viewer could see each material layer as a part of an entire image if that makes sense. Very cool little pieces and they can be remarkably complex images!

The sisterhood talk made me cry, I miss my sister and hometown friends so much too, all the time. Women are amazing. I also appreciate you mentioning the phone stuff bc it’s so real 😭 I’ve found, since reading, that my attention span lasts much longer and I wonder if reading more books would help with all of it? I wonder if books were as distracting as phones in the Victorian era also? Ty Brittany for alllll the discourse you offer, ur a treasure tbh 💕

I can’t stress enough how much I thoroughly admire your segment on the phone issue with our generations. It’s something that is arguably the most overlooked thing because it’s become so normal to allow these little boxes to take so much of our attention away from the beautiful things in life (I am 110% guilty of it too). And as you moved into talking about the issue with people texting and driving-yeah, I feel you there. There are just so many people who obviously do not understand or try to understand the value and preciousness of life, and how quickly something bad could happen. Sorry to be so depressing on a Friday evening, but I’m so thankful I was raised to pay attention to these things. I wish more people would, because man, it seems like the more time goes on, the less people understand how to interact with each other and get off of their phones. It’s one reason I made myself delete TikTok. I got so addicted to where I couldn’t go to the restroom at home or get ready for bed without getting on and scrolling. Just wanted to emphasize how much I agreed with your segment on this!

For so many years I resented being a woman, Brittany is part of the reason why I don’t hate being a woman anymore ❤

what an amazing synopsis of silver flames. it actually ended up being my favorite book of the series and i resonated so much with nesta. i think people that don’t like nesta is because they know a nesta and do not understand or just can’t understand how your mind turns on you and makes you feel that you need to protect yourself from everything. and by doing that and having so many walls up you are an impenetrable force but you push everyone around you away and soon enough you find out that THAT is the easy way out. being vulnerable and facing those emotions head on is the hard part and i just am so absolutely obsessed with nestas story and she also ended up being my favorite character i loved from blood and ash and also you should read crescent city if you haven’t already. the world of sarah j maas is just getting started and nothing beats her writing imo! love hearing you talk about these books :) 18:58

Lately, I've been very focused on the idea of having an older sibling (specifically an older sister) because I've been an only child to a single parent for my entire life and it's admittedly been really hard for me. Yesterday, I found out through my moms old friend that I have a half sister who was put up for adoption. I'm not sure if she knows I exist, but i've been thinking about her lots and seeing LOADS of sisterhood themes EVERYWHERE. Imagine my surprise when I went to get my weekly dose of Brittany content and watched such a huge portion of this video be on the topic of SISTERHOOD! Seriously. I need to meet her, man.

my ex used to literally be on his phone 24/7, especially every time we went out to eat. I remember we went to the aquarium for our first anniversary and while I was mesmerized by watching the sea lions, I turn around and he was sitting on a bench playing clash of clans LOL. then when I started reading heavily again last year, he would get so angry that I wasn’t giving him attention. went so far as to even tell me I couldn’t bring my books to his house! but then he’d turn around and be on the playstation for hours.. when we broke up he actually had the audacity to tell me my reading was a big turn off/ problem for him LMFAOOO safe to say I dodged a bullet!

I think these friendships are a driving force is what’s saving her from herself not just the unwavering love that Cassian gives her even in her worst moments.

I sobbed at the intimate scene between Feyre and Nesta because I lost my older sister a few years ago and it made me want to hug her so bad-I feel so happy that you got to reach out to your sister in that moment and felt a similar way that I did when reading. What a fucking good ass book and I WISH it was as well received as A Court of Mist and Fury because I think it’s 10 times better SUE ME!!! The moral of the story is more women-centric without being cringe and girlbossy and has such good ass complex and BEAUTIFUL female characters. And also SEX AND FUCKING!!! SARAH J MAAS LOVE U QUEEN 🫶

40:45 Jasperware! Worked in an auction gallery for a couple years, they're a beautiful collector item, but not valued very highly like the shell cameo jewelry pieces, or the mourning hair jewelry. (Super excited you mention this, I love collecting Victorian antiques.)

Nesta was hard to love because I am her. Her story was so beautiful to me because I got to see myself and my struggles in a person who wasn’t me. And it was powerful. It’s ugly but it’s honest. Forever respect nesta.

you're so real for adding in the use of a cellphone at dinner intentionally geared towards connection, whether it be platonic or romantic, because that SHIT drives me actually insane. i feel feral (derogatory) when someone's using their phone at a dinner we paid to connect at. CONNECT with ME.

omg thanks for the read on the last book. i was so enraged for SO many reasons by the 3rd i couldn't even pick up number 4. you have restored my faith and i'm about to eat it up again

I'm so excited for you to read Red Rising! I just finished the series. The politics are great, its such a good underdog story. Some of the themes reminded me of The Way of Kings which is one of my all time favourite books

I LOVE THE ACOTAR TALK. When Sarah J. Maas writes about friendships it hits my heart so deep. I love Nesta and her girls.

40:38 theyre just called cameos, usually carved from agate or onyx. they would picture a loved one or royalty, and they were initially popular during the Renaissance and had a resurgence in the victorian era

Hey girl, I'm obsessed with Victorian and Edwardian eras and I love that you're getting into it. It really fits your art history interests too! If you wanna see some real accurate 1890's looks in a fun context you should watch the HBO show The Nevers. Also there's sooo many videos on youtube about Victorian fashion and culture, I recommend Bernadette Banner. She just put out a video about how people didn't actually stink lol. Would love to see you get into it xx

You talking about sisterhood had me crying too bc I KNOW and the feelings this book gave me I just -- book sisterhood is another special level 🫶🏻

My younger sister and best friend passed away tragically 7 years ago as of Sunday, and I still don’t know if I’ll ever have a sister and woman in my life like that again. Cherish it while you have it ❤ Sisterhood is our lifeblood as women

Brittany, it's truly fascinating how a seemingly disparate connection can form between two lives, yours as a content creator and mine as an avid viewer. Despite our worlds existing in entirely different spheres, the resonance of your philosophy and worldviews strikes a chord deep within me. Your authenticity, laid bare in every podcast episode, serves as a beacon of inspiration. Witnessing you articulate thoughts with such genuine, human depth encourages me to aspire to that level of certainty in expressing my own ideas. Often, I find myself grappling with shyness and insecurities during conversations, yet your weekly podcasts act as a powerful reminder that sharing one's thoughts, values, and opinions is not only enriching but an essential part of the human experience. Your ability to navigate discussions with such clarity and sincerity is a testament to the transformative nature of open dialogue, reinforcing the idea that our voices are valuable contributions to the rich tapestry of shared human experience

the way i thought it was cheesy and u touched my heart genuinely just like always ,,, gonna check out the book

loving the sherlock holmes full deep dive. love for this content. thank you queen brittany.

I know it can be awkward, but ALWAYS call out people who are texting and driving/distracted driving. I was in a horrific rollover car accident when I was 15 because the driver was distracted. Saying something can save both your life and that of the driver. Texting/changing a song isn’t worth losing your life.

14:08 Ok now I’m crying thanks Brittany

I was really hesitant about aosf like you! And now that I started I cant stop ... yesterday I read 250 pages and am about the middle right now and I cant waiiiit to continue

YUPPP. HANDS OFF THE WHEELS, GOIN 90 ON A SCHOOL ZONE. THANK YOU BRITTANY!😮‍💨😋🩷

They are called cameos babe. I have many. From my understanding they had a variety of uses. Dead relatives or lovers. Sometimes current lovers. Sometimes even historical figures or past people of the house etc. I’m not sure which were the most common or prevalent in society at that time but sometimes you can find a really beautiful piece at estate sale jewelry stores. It’s really incredible just how intricate they can be when you really take a look at them.

I genuinely need two videos a week 😭😭i need her

Brittany's fan cast is literally handsome squidward Hozier

You have the most BEAUTIFUL way of expressing how books make you feel and explaining the themes!! You literally took the words out of my mouth. And also WHEN ARE YOU READING CRESCENT CITY?!?

HANDS OFF THE WHEEL, FOOT ON THE GAS, EYES CLOSED. NO THAT DEFINITELY WAS A SPEEDBUMP 🗣‼‼

Her sisterhood talk made me think about Seladon from The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance series (RIP). She the middle child seeking validation from her parents bc if she perfect and by-the-book enough, she'll be seen which leads her to do terrible things to her older and younger sister when they come to her telling them the leaders they've believed to be so great and merciful and actually monsters killing their kind. She betrays them and man oh man, you hate her guts. Her redemption truly was infuriating and sad, even after being shown to her face how her sisters were true she still refused to do the right thing. Not until she loses everything does she change but its hard to forgive her. God I love that show.

Sherlock Holmes is based on an autistic doctor, and as an autistic person myself, I heavily empathize with the character. My main special interest is behavioral analysis (how a mind and environment interact with human body language and behavior), but I am also fond of food science, rock hounding, makeup/clothing, natural medicine/botany, and generally design (particularly the psychology behind buildings, products, and interiors throughout history). I have been compared to Google and told that I am not human. Autistic traits are admirable and charming in our society but when they are labeled "autistic," then people see them as negative. Needless to say, I feel comforted to hear someone say that they want to be like Sherlock. You said that Sherlock is a character but I have to sincerely admit that many times I have a similar level of pattern recognition (with only human behavior). Once I develop a baseline for a person's behavior, I can't be fooled. It takes me about 2 weeks to establish a baseline and I don't do it intentionally. My personal life suffers because of this, most of the time I learn things I wish I did not know. I also constantly have dreams that later on come true, or reveal truths to me. I believe the dreams are caused by patterns I've observed and shoved down into my psyche over time, nothing more. I have a full honesty policy with my fiance because it saves time and fosters respect. The skill serves me well at work where I was an SPMI residential program manager who worked on the floor and housed folks (low barrier, risky, honest work). And it will serve me well as a CNA and eventually nurse. People with similar personalities exist but they never talk about it because wow does that make everyone uncomfortable and hate you. I've lived my whole life like this and only my fiance knows. Writing this post makes me feel like a stupid redditor dweeb.

I go feral waiting for these. Frothing at the mouth, growling, chewing the bars of my enclosure- until these come out every Tuesday like a sedation injection ❤

not even gonna lie to you, i was like "im not gonna read this, its overhyped" but hearing you talk about ACOTAR made me ask for the paperback set for christmas and im like 3/4 through the first book. youre an influencer; consider me influenced edit: i finished it and im so mad like GIRL so much could've been avoided. I knew the answer to the riddle as soon as i read it. this was all for what.

Every time you hated on this book I was like *hands folded* “imma wait.” And here we are both just read it and I’m ALSO crying. Also, stoked that you’ve picked up classic novels from high school AP English- was my favorite subject and truly some of them were so boring but SO MANY were so good! Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451 being a couple of my tops!

Brittany needs to talk about Pride and Prejudice! The 2005 version is one of my favs

This is going to be a little trauma dumpy and I doubt Brittany will ever see this but I just want to say thank you to Brittany. I’m sure we can all say that Brittany got us through the tough times, and I can’t thank her enough for the live(s) she has likely saved simply by being a ray of sunshine and smarts. I’m going to be going into a psych unit for my depression (and all that comes with that) this week and I’m watching this to get me through the days until there’s space. Brittany is always a comfort and I love her duality of true down to earth emotion still with that child like positivity and curiosity. Also I feel so much love for all my sisters (including any trans sisters ofc) tonight. Stay safe, lovelies. -a trans man who still feels connection to his feminine self and WILL cry about it

Gonna be real it's a little racist to outright describe something as "POC" before "fantasy book"!!!! You are allowed to say it features POC characters or has great diversity, but like. Come on. I'm not going to read something because it can only be described as "POC". There is so much more to being a person of color than being a person of color 😭

40:08 they're called cameos, they're carved out of shell/mother of pearl, or coral and they're to commemorate a person. You could also get them layered with different materials and set with diamonds.
