JULY AND AUGUST 2024 RECAP: A RECAP OF THE CONTENT FROM THE PAST TWO MONTHS
As it’s that time again, we are back with this July and August 2024 recap of content (after missing our May and June recap!). We put this recap and look back at our content together every other month we wind up recapping two months at a time for six times a year review of a sort. This time, it marks over halfway through thi 2024 year, and we’re not too proud to say, it’s freaking us out.
LIST | HALLMARK+ SEPTEMBER 2024 NEW CONTENT: NEW MOVIES AND SHOWS
JULY AND AUGUST 2024 RECAP: A RECAP OF THE CONTENT FROM THE PAST TWO MONTHS. Share on XThe rule is the same, we’ll go through all of the normal suspects including favorite and throwback writings, popular writings and such. Let’s jump in.
» THE NEWS «
Rarely, if ever do I have life updates or “news” things to share. But this month I will mention that we’re trying to upkeep the Substack page we’ve had since a few months ago. We reintroduced our Substack, have reposted a bit of content from here and am going to try to share content that won’t be posted here over there. We talk about the “what” in our reintroduction but primarily the topics will be cultural and politics, with more of a general opinion slant rather than a how-dare-they-say-this-about someone or even my personal politics. I’m hoping to have “exclusive” content (to start) once a week and then will share on two-three other days reposts from here.
