Shannon Sanders and Sarai Johnson respectively ate Company and Grown Women right on up

Living the dream* *reading a book and making a tuna melt

This week on Explain It to Me we talk to Dr. Jade Wu about what’s keeping you up at night – literally. www.vox.com/explain-it-t... link.chtbl.com/explainit?si...

Can we ask you something personal?👀 Our Explain It to Me podcast team is working on an episode about the sex lives of Gen X women. Has your sex life changed or have you seen depictions of women in their 40s changing in culture? To be featured, leave us a voicemail at 1-800-618-8545.

Surviving 2008 and 2012 has made me impervious to any Kansas City football hate. You’re just gonna have to boo. That was PAIN.

I love HBCU marching bands so much. There’s really nothing like them.

Gotta make some Threepeat Punch (Minute Maid fruit punch and Don Julio)

We're going to do an episode about sleep on Explain It to Me soon. And we want to know what you want to know. Do you have any questions about the way we sleep? What literally keeps you up at night? Call 1-800-618-8545 and we'll get you an answer.

I’m pretty easy to impress when it comes to movies. I walk into a theater ready to clap like a seal at whatever you show me. I really am a simple creature

Pro Tools has attempted to thwart me almost everyday this week, but I prevailed!

Whenever the DAW I'm using acts up it feels like a personal attack on my mental health.

Guys I’m late but I’m locked in #TheBachelor

DANIELLE don’t understand Danielle’s gameplay #thetraitorsUS

What makes Love Island All Stars fun is that everyone is the same age as you.

I’m watching The Traitors. I do not understand Danielle’s gameplay.

SZA fans what are we called? Other than "Oh wow of course you have Scorpio placements in your chart"

Nearly 3 years after being acquired by Vox Media, PS (formerly POPSUGAR) is excited to announce its bid to join the Vox Media Union. Following devastating layoffs, our prospective members are more motivated than ever to fight for an equitable, united workplace. Please share to show your support!

Gonna throw myself a pizza party if I meet my 2025 reading-for-fun goal

Whenever I see a critique of DEI from the left I have to dig deeper to see if it's "masters house/masters tools" thing or a "I'm only on board if this doesn't expressly benefit black people" thing.

Mike witnessed a crime. Well...actually it was more like a violation. But after making a joke about citizen's arrest it got him thinking...is citizen's arrest real? And if it is, why? Should people have that much power? That's this week on Explain It to Me. open.spotify.com/episode/6QzM...

You ever read a book you have to put down every now and then because of the secondhand embarrassment?

Someone hacked into my Spotify account and listened to weird dirty talk audiobooks and tantric sex music and it’s funny because my group chat is like “oh yeah sure ""someone"" did that” BUT THEY DID

This week’s episode of #RHOSLC was so good. Wow. I love art.

Several of my colleagues were laid off yesterday. Please help them if you can.

Devastated to be back again with a statement on today's layoffs at Vox.com. Please stay tuned for more details on how you can support our colleagues who lost their jobs today.

Tfw you’ve wanted to be a journalist since you were 12 so you go to school for it and work really hard and when you finally get to the point where you’ve hit your stride and don’t cry in the bathroom at work all the time the industry is in absolute shambles :)

During times like these I swear I can see the effects of social media radicalization on people I’ve followed for years in real time

I was reading The Atlantic's cover story and according to BLS Black people have had a really steep decline in face-to-face interactions compared to a lot of our counterparts. (My theory is that its because we tend to spend more time consuming media than other folks.)

Why did that one Ball brother make such a catchy song.

There are all kinds of ways to get sick and one really good way to prevent it — keeping your hands clean. But it turns out not all soaps are created equal. This week on Explain It to Me @landmanspeaking.bsky.social tells us: Should you up the ante with antibacterial or does bar soap set the bar?

Oh this snow is not playing

Gonna mix all my New Years leftovers on my plate and call it a dense bean salad.

I’m not hungover but I do have heartburn from all the hot chips I ate last night

When I have the time I read like I’m getting a personal pan pizza out of it

You ever read a book and think “omg that’s a bar”

Now that thin is becoming in again I have a question about the trend in the aughts: why did celebrities lie and say they didn’t work out and ate whatever they want? I realize gym culture has changed – especially for women – but what was the point of all that at the time?

“The Super Bowl of Dating” is just around the corner www.vox.com/explain-it-t...

I put the food I’m flying home with in the freezer IMMEDIATELY after dinner last night.

I need to talk to Nardwuar’s researcher
