Hello beloveds! I’m back with a new babblings podcast episode dissecting celebrity worhsip, parasocial relationships, and investigating whether art is required to be moral??? I’ve been ruminating on these thoughts for some time per usual and of course it’s timely with our noise diving economy and somehow growing consumption of celebrities. I hope you enjoy and I say this multiple times but don’t get defensive! This is about us, it’s about understanding that it’s us versus them! They will never be one of us no matter how hard they try to cling to relevancy.

xoxo, Ali Ann

Hello my lovelies! It’s me sunburnt on a beach in Puerto Rico but never forgetting about the craziness of the world. There’s just so much going on I felt like we needed to dedicate a whole episode to current events. While this is just skimming the surface I found it interesting to see how many things weave together and dissect where we are but really…. where we’re going. As always go deeper below, and after the supreme court ruling yesterday I would start carrying your passport with you everywhere. The police state is only beginning.

Hiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally the long awaited and probably over hyped *by myself* climate change episode! I actually had a lot of fun diving into this one even with the bleak info I got. If you’ve caught yourself wondering what climate change even is or trying to conceptualize what that really means for you, this is for you! If not you share with a friend or family member who would really benefit from having it all laid out.

kisses! Ali Ann
