This week we’re examining the current state of Cancel Culture. The good (Harvey Weinstein! Kevin Spacey!), the bad (The Dixie Chicks! Janet Jackson!), and the gray (Lizzo). Veronica explains her uneasiness around online fighting (hello, fear of conflict), while Britt admits she basically runs towards conflict. But they both can agree we all need to learn to hold the contradiction that good people can sometimes do bad things. But can those people properly apologize and do better in the future to make their way out of societally imposed time out?
Veronica’s Three Things
1) Dr. Zero Zero Non-Alcoholic Amaro (and Ghia if you haven’t tried it already!) Half tonic / half soda water, good squeeze of lemon = chef’s kiss!
2) FDA approves a pill for Postpartum Depression
3) Maya Angelou on accepting death (the full interview is here!)
Britt’s Three Things
1) Tipping Culture in America (is Britt the female Larry David?) NY Magazine on tipping
2) Barbie’s revival of The Indigo Girls, The Barbie Soundtrack Supervisors, The Party Bus we wish we were all on
3) Various links to Lizzo think pieces:The Hollywood Reporter with Roxanne Gay, Lainey Gossip on Lizzo, Her non-apology, An interesting take on her image being more manufactured than we thought, and, this is not an excuse to hate on Lizzo.
