This week! Jenn has a surprise (self-inflicted) black eye, and we're talking all about emergency contacts, community, communal living, LinkedIn overhauls and outfoxing the bots, the AI apocalypse, gaining hope, losing hope, how the vices are turning on us, daytime television, and — sorry!— remaining, despite our best intentions, miserable as f*ck. Plus, when your feed is filled with baby animals and also aggressive pet tortoises who (surprise!) are meaner and hornier than you may have ever imagined.
