Summary

Sarah realizes she needs to go broad: Joan Rivers, Carrie Fisher, Nora Ephron, 40% Heather Gay. This is the time to follow vital voices providing refuge and sass. With that in mind, and the SLC premiere still shining bright, she takes a seat on the People's People's Couch to deep dive everything that has provided a necessary, fruitful escape. And who better to mention it all than her pal, Tom Smyth (Bravoholic writer who is currently recapping Salt Lake for Vulture). Over the course of this two-part mention it all, they discuss Bravoholic burnout, Tom's convos with OG RHONYs about leaving Bravo TV, a recording from the WWHL audience featuring Andy's thoughts on Jen Shah (and how the franchise has been able to successfully move forward without her), an instinct Bronwyn and Katie may share, Slade and Gretchen's latest chaotic revenge against Tamra, the surprise reveal that Kiki was behind Adriana's cake engraving (and why intent v. impact matters), Adriana's WTF response, and more. Sarah believes in her 1st amendment right, and also the 28th (loving Shan) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 714! Part 1!

Today the movement has more than 44,000 members.  NewGround: a Muslim-Jewish Partnership for Change: NewGround envisions an America where Muslims and Jews and others, both secular and religious, model lasting partnerships and engagement in authentic communication and mutual cooperation. The organization empowers Muslims, Jews and allies to bridge divisions and leverage shared values to strengthen our communities and our fragile democracy.  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. Solutions Not Sides: Solutions Not Sides has been teaching skills of empathy, active listening, communication, critical thinking and conflict resolution through exploration of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict since 2010. Our programme is based on three key values: non-violence, equality for all, and the rejection of hatred. Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF): PCRF is the primary humanitarian organization in Palestine, delivering crucial and life-saving medical relief and humanitarian aid where it is needed most. Access to essential resources like food, clean water, and healthcare is severely limited. Urgent action is needed. With your support, we can continue this vital work, ensuring that the over one million children of Gaza receive the urgent care they need and deserve. https://www.pcrf.net/ Learn more about your ad choices.
