CW: Please be aware that at the beginning of this episode I discuss opinions on standing with Roe v. Wade.  Although this is a fashion podcast, it's my belief that a platform should always be used to discuss crucial issues at hand.  If abortion is triggering for you, please skip to 6:15 to avoid this topic (or just join again for the next episode!). After sharing resources, this episode gets back to fashion issues, discussing my Met Gala favorites from this past Monday (for some much-needed lightness in the week), and also the importance of recognizing and supporting the unionization of Condé Nast workers. (also, please forgive the few small editing issues - I need to figure out why things keep disappearing!)
