Blogger? I Hardly Know Her: Part 1 (Talking Bravo and RHOC with Lawrence Yee)
It's Friday morning, mere hours after another round of Bravo mania has dropped on social, and Sarah sits at her 1997 bubblegum pink iMac set piece and thinks aloud in own Carrie Bradshaw voice: can there really be a Cold War between Bravolebs and bloggers, when the temps are already so hot outside? After not hearing anything fed back to her in the annals of memory and time, she realizes the best way to talk through all of this is with a Bravoholic who has had many a byline: Lawrence Yee (entertainment journalist whose credits include People, Variety, The Wrap, and more). Over the course of this two-part mention it all, they discuss all the news that's fit to print about Coto de Caza and more: Bravo's underrepresentation of the AAPI community (and how that impacts Katie's experience as the only woman of color on RHOC, including when her identity is being weaponized by the cast), Lawrence's definition of 'bloggers' on and off Bravo TV, his experience working with one of the lie detector techs featured on the show, holding multiple 'truths' aka opinions about the cast, and relating to the current chaos through the lens of Scandoval. Extra extra, so is Sarah's cackle - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 710! Part 1!

Standing Together: Standing Together is a progressive grassroots movement mobilizing Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel against the occupation and for peace, equality, and social justice.

The future that we want — peace and independence for Israelis and Palestinians, full equality for everyone in this land, and true social, economic, and environmental justice — is possible.
Solutions Not Sides: Solutions Not Sides has been teaching skills of empathy, active listening, communication, critical thinking and conflict resolution through exploration of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict since 2010. Our programme is based on three key values: non-violence, equality for all, and the rejection of hatred.
Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF): PCRF is the primary humanitarian organization in Palestine, delivering crucial and life-saving medical relief and humanitarian aid where it is needed most. Access to essential resources like food, clean water, and healthcare is severely limited. Urgent action is needed.
