Grande Damage: A RHOP Premiere Deep Dive

Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast

All we (must) do is drive back, drive back. To Sunday's RHOP premiere, and a short list of 1500 follow-ups. Sarah seats herself in the cloff, and after a spiritual status update on being Hebrew in these United States (aka, lord help us, online), she deep dives the surprisingly pleasant (ahem) Potomac premiere: the editors' artistic license around that 'reenactment' (hopefully one in good standing, unlike Karen's), what it means to have a grande dame platforming seatbelt safety and not also why we shouldn't drink and drive, the sometimes unfair reality around individual Housewife storyline contributions, and how that impacts Dr. Wendy vs. Mia, Ashley's decision to divorce Michael Darby, the cost of revealing information that might affect cast members' kids, and cast discussion of Mia's parenting vs. Gordon's spilled tea. Potomac threw its hat in the ring, and it's shaped like a variety of plush produce - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 596!

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. We know that the majority have far more in common than that which sets us apart and only a tiny minority benefits from the status quo. 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. To achieve this future, we must stand together as a united front: Jewish and Palestinian, secular and religious, Mizrahi and Ashkenazi, rural and urban, and people of all genders and sexual orientations. As the largest Jewish-Arab grassroots movement in Israel, we are committed to creating an alternative to our existing reality and building the political strength to make this transformation possible. https://www.standing-together.org/en
