Late to the game but going to watch White Lotus - does each series stand alone?
Do I jump in with Series 3 or would it be better to start from the first series?

This is a phenomenal list of specific, actionable things you can do right now. Pick one and start there--I guarantee it will feel better than doing nothing. 👇
The Egyptian pro-democracy activist Wael Ghonim said,
"The power of the people is greater than the people in power."
This is a checklist of things you can do, probably should do, resources, ideas, ways to move forward.
“I just don’t know what to do!!” shouldn’t be something you say now.

It is still important to say when things are illegal, even if they don’t care about the law. It is still important to call out the limits of their power, even if they believe their power is boundless. You gain nothing by proclaiming your defeat at every turn.

Young women are sexual beings - by criticising Sabrina Carpenter or anyone else’s choreography, your message is that female sexual feelings are shameful and wrong. Please stop.

Ultimately, dont forget about us. Next time you want to order a book online, consider buying it from an indie bookshop (it won't just be us having this problem!)
And when you do, share that with other people. Reviews, posts, pictures. It all helps!

I appreciated this article from CNN about Betsy Arakawa, and the person she was. “And pianist wife” is not how I’d want to be remembered. www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/e...
Betsy Arakawa died as she lived, privately with her beloved husband Gene Hackman | CNN
Betsy Arakawa was a classical pianist, creative partner and supportive wife who loved watching DVDs with her husband Gene Hackman.
