I consider myself very political. And the news coming each day of this administration has been really hard on me.
But some people have been dealing with it differently. I wanted to talk to my sister, @carlynfromrelated.bsky.social, about how she's handled the last six months.

What does it even mean to be "political" in this day and age anyway? @elainefromrelated.bsky.social and I dive into this question (among others) in our latest episode. Listen now and let us know what you think :)
"Would you call yourself political?"
Six months since Trump was sworn in for the second time, Carlyn and Elaine contemplate their views on politics.

I recently went to my 20th high school reunion. @elainefromrelated.bsky.social is on the fence about going to hers. Did you go / are you going to yours?
"Are you going to your high school reunion?"

We know we're late to the Kendrick/Drake beef, but @elainefromrelated.bsky.social and I have been thinking about the infamous diss track 'Not Like Us' and its arguable use to 'other' Drake (biracial). Using NLU as a jumping off point, we discussed our own biracial identity & sense of other-ness.
"Are we 'Not Like Us'?"
Carlyn and Elaine talk about their experiences being biracial.

I was embraced by a giant newfoundland on my walk this morning, and honestly couldn't have asked for a better start to my day.
(His owner/my neighbor was mortified by the amount of slobber left on my person, but I'm here for it!)

whenever I travel outside of the US, I’m reminded that much of the world isn’t consumed with wealth, status, and work. instead, people live their lives oriented towards: family, spirituality, art, nature, community.

My sister Elaine told me we needed to get on this new social media she'd read about called "blue ski", so here I am and here we are. Though I told her it's actually pronounced "blue sky" -- but oh well, that's why I love her!
