Description

Welcome to Avocado Proust! We’re Jeeves and Lumes - 2 millennial pals trying to make sense of the week gone by. We love tech, pop culture and science but really we’ll talk about anything and everything in between.

In the group chat this week, we cover the metaverse* (*trigger warning: sexual assault), season 2 of Bridgerton, Fenty Beauty, immortality, a wayward mistress, all topped off with a sprinkle of cryptocurrency for afters. 

We’d love to have you in our group chat so get in touch with your thoughts, dilemmas, comments, and ideas at avocadoproust@gmail.com.
