Steven Universe is a Cartoon Network show that is about so much more than the goofy adventures of a little boy. It's arguably the show that made progressive modern cartoons what they are today.
This episode covers the first major storyline of the show from Season 1 through Season 3, which is what I call "the cluster arc."
Entertaining Escapism is a podcast that explores ways that media and entertainment such as TV shows, video games, and music interact with our mental health. This show covers the perspective of how media can be a form of coping to “escape” from the difficulties of life.

Don't mind me I'm just in another state of existential anxiety. The season 3 finale begins with a general how am I feeling? Type of check in. September & October can feel like a rough time for me as I anticipate the end of the year. I've been in a “trying my best” type of mood just carrying on with things.

I talk about doomscrolling into the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories and manifestation vs goal setting before starting my entertainment roundup of sorts.

Survivor 45 is pretty good!

Post pandemic, America is deep in a loneliness epidemic as social isolation is at an all time high.
I've decided to be tactfully vulnerable and share my struggles with friendships, mainly desiring new friendships but struggling with social anxiety especially when getting to know people. I talk through and own some insecurities about my social life in hopes that you can find solidarity.
I also dive into what my healing journey has looked like, and what exactly is the work? It's important to point out that the rhetoric surrounding healing and self worth on social media lacks nuance and can be a slippery slope into more shame and isolation.
Remember: Prioritize joy even when you feel like crap!

Sorry I missed last episode guys, Mercury was LITERALLY in retrograde. Plus like, every other planet or something. Today I'll be giving an overview of my understanding of astrology! Our favorite coping mechanism.
I wanted to acknowledge my perspective is through tropical astrology and the placidus house system. Recognizing the systems of astrology forming your understanding helps combat the muddy waters of appropriation and losing nuance to social media content made for generalized audiences.
I'll give a taste of information about houses, planets, signs, degrees, aspects, transits, rulers, and more. But of course, I'm not a professional. This episode is for entertainment purposes only. Assume nothing and do your own research!

Today I give a review on my first festival experience, discussing which artists I decided to watch, gen z's lack of concert etiquette, and more.
This episode covers the lead up to Gov Ball from the moment the lineup was announced, to the smoke from Canadian wildfires blanketing New York City days before the festival.
From starting the days with good vibes to the mood being soured by rough and rowdy crowds, this festival was full of ups and downs. Did New York City's only big festival this year live up to expectations?
Artists mentioned include: Ice Spice, Metro Boomin, Lil Uzi Vert, Kenny Beats, ODESZA, PinkPantheress, Pusha T, Lil Nas X, Kendrick Lamar.
