EYES AND EARS…
Like all white people, I love Bryan Cranston (s/o Breaking Bad!) and I watched this weird Netflix movie called Trumbo that he's in. It was great. It led to a two-hour conversation with my flesh-and-blood, walking Wikipedia husband having to explain American communism to me. I also watched the PBS documentary, Hamilton's America twice. If you have a Roku, you can add a PBS channel and stream it.
I have three podcast recommendations. The last two stand-up sets on this episode of 2 Dope Queens had me legit lol-ing.
THRIFTING…
I ENDORSE…
