Next, our book selection from a fantastically funny lady...

Everything's Trash, But It's Okay

by Phoebe Robinson, (Foreword by) Ilana Glazer

Written in her trademark unfiltered and witty style, Robinson's latest collection is a call to arms. Outfitted with on-point pop culture references, these essays tackle a wide range of topics: giving feminism a tough-love talk on intersectionality, telling society's beauty standards to kick rocks, and calling foul on our culture's obsession with work. Enjoy!

Lastly, two funny femme centered films that you may have missed...

Joy Ride

When Audrey's business trip to Asia goes sideways, she enlists the help of Lolo, her childhood best friend, Kat, a college friend, and Deadeye, Lolo's eccentric cousin. Their epic, no-holds-barred experience becomes a journey of bonding, friendship, belonging and wild debauchery that reveals the universal truth of what it means to know and love who you are.

and a sexy rom-com that's a bit unexpected...

Good Luck To You, Leo Grande

Nancy is a retired widower, who had a lackluster marriage. In an attempt to feel what she has lost, she books a hotel room and hires a sex worker for one fun, eventful night. Good Luck To You, Leo Grande has a level of honesty and empathy that fans truly appreciate and applaud. For a different take on a rom-com, this is a raw and endearing watch.


“All you need in the world is love and laughter. That's all anybody needs. To have love in one hand and laughter in the other.”

August Wilson
