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.

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.

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.

[@leanneparker6139]

yup. had this happen with a best friend. she moved into my apartment along with another girl (individual leases) and about 2 months ago, she moved her bf in without asking, telling us etc. lied about him staying there when she wasn’t (i was ALONE n he’s a felon 🤭). we didn’t talk for two weeks once i called her out. now she wants to move back home bc he’s her manager and she wants to drop him without telling him.

[@cyberpriestess_]

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 ❤️

[@bannez43]

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!

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!

[@rachelgower6046]

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

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

[@cpinktea]

For those who also hasn't finished Court of Thorns and Roses series, I'm pretty sure spoiler free starts at 19:00

[@idfkcami]

thank u for this !!

[@thehappyrecluse]

Thank you, I'm currently on book 3 and I was sweating skipping through the first part of the video😅

[@rhiannonmari1096]

Thank you for your service 😂❤

[@chloe-mg4st]

@@thehappyrecluse I'm also on book 3 and I was so nervous

[@evilsnailmom241]

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

[@blakxhart]

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

[@sofiaalva1]

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

[@melat0nin]

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

[@pocchakko]

I second this, I feel like Brittany would love Bernadette Banner

[@stormsofpoets]

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.)

[@dirtyshirleyheart]

2 mins into this and i know i’m gonna enjoy every second of it

[@iemmalina]

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?!?

[@user-jj8fw5jj9l]

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

I have every single acotar world book and I haven’t started. Ur friendship is magical meltdown got me and WE STARTIN IT NOWWWW 😂😂😂

[@faithchristina6323]

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

[@HoneyRa8bit]

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 ❤

[@kailanianderson9089]

Okay quick life update on my end. I have a s/o now! But even so I’ve been really depressed lately and your podcast is something I look forward to. It feels amazing to know that I’m apart of a sisterhood with women everywhere. We may not all know each other but I hope everyone is flourishing and enjoying what they can in this short life 😭🫶🏼

[@Turps450]

IVE BEEN WAITING WEEKS FOR THE ACOSF REVIEW. THANK YOU FOR BLESSING US IN THE FIRST 2 MINUTES ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Kb-gh2rk]

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.

[@gracethornton8667]

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.

[@charlene15]

14:08 Ok now I’m crying thanks Brittany

[@hannahdigby5121]

Love your thoughts on silver flames! I’m currently 300 pages deep and the theme of women friendship and this community that Nesta is finding in these women is beautiful. 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.

[@Jess-wy5pu]

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

[@ashleyblack7100]

watching your opinion on nesta change makes my heart so happy. she has transformed into my favorite character after acosf

[@bisexualantigone]

This video made me cry and it really did ease my mind before bed and gave me hope. Thanks Brittany!!!

[@user-wl1ji6kz9i]

your podasts literally keep me and my bestfriend sane during medical school, like ur podcast has us CACKLING in the library. ok we love you smooch

[@messagetothesun]

Brittany PLEASE add “children of blood and bone” to your TBR !! it’s a POC fantasy book and it’s so so good

[@audreyskillern8691]

DUDE I LOVE THAT BOOK AND I WANT TO RECOMMEND IT EVERY TIME SHE TALKS ABOUT READING ACOTAR 😩😩

[@nomoretwitterhandles]

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 😭

[@messagetothesun]

@@nomoretwitterhandles considering this book is never talked about and most fantasy books have primarily white characters, i think someone needs to bring it up and praise it the way it deserves. as a mixed person I loved having representation in a genre that i regularly consume. if that’s how you took the comment, idk what to tell you

[@messagetothesun]

@@audreyskillern8691 dare I say it’s BETTER than acotar ?!?

[@arob4526]

someone tell her to read six of crows also!

[@justaboutsquare]

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!

[@mikamcdonald9974]

This is 1000% an entire video representation of my recent thoughts. Thank you!!!!

[@inchw0rm]

im so addicted to my phone and also rlyyy socially anxious but i still so agree on the topic of putting it away when ur talking to someone bc i hate when it happens to me too! and omg the texting and driving !!!! ahhh

[@mdunn8096]

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.

[@xoemmaox]

i felt the exact same way after finishing the first book but trust me… keep going

[@rachelmeacham]

KEEP GOING

[@elyseshires6314]

YES! ACOSF!! I knew you’d love iiitttt. Love Nesta forever and ever. And PLEASE play DND it’s actually so much fun

[@fistedtortilla2474]

Not you reawakening my hyper fixation that I had as child with Sherlock Holmes. I’m literally going home after work and watching it 👏🏽😫

[@anonymouse903]

I'M SO HAPPY YOU ACTUALLY GOT AROUND TO READING ACOSF!!!! I used to hate Nesta too and now she's my favorite character!

[@rachellani7425]

As an English grad, I appreciate your willingness to deep dive and I miss these discussions from university!

[@keilij.1706]

Wow can’t believe you’ve convinced me to read ACOSF. I’ve been actively avoiding it for years after finishing the initial trilogy because I too just do not care about Nesta. But the way you described her character arc has me wanting to read it badly!

[@eislehugo]

I get almost all my book recommendations from broski nation. Keep ‘em coming guys
