Jamila Woods Rates Meditation Apps, Mercury Retrograde, and Soylent

[drums beating]

I think knowing that Mercury retrograde exists

is underrated,

'cause otherwise, you might just think you're going insane,

like this past, this past Mercury retrograde

was very intense.

You know, it's like travel issues can occur,

and I was on an airline, and I was at the airport

and they're like, oh, this airline no longer exists.

It went bankrupt this morning.

I was like, okay, but it's Mercury retrograde.

Like, makes sense.

Finstagrams are underrated.

The youths recently taught me about them.

I feel like that's a really important space

because you could just post like,

a low-lighting you know, selfie in the corner of your room,

and write a long caption about your day and just be free.

I spend too much time on Instagram,

but if I could spend more time I would make a finsta.

Meditation apps are cool

but you have to choose the right one.

'Cause I used to have one

where every now and then, she would say something that,

it was kind of like, low key shady,

and I'll be like, oh, okay, I'm trying to be at peace,

but, she was like, you're talking about me.

You know, it's okay, like sometimes, people are late.

Sometimes, people are messy.

That doesn't mean you're a bad person.

But then I switch to a different one,

and it's, it has this British guy's voice

and it's very soothing, much more affirming.

He's like, meet me where I'm at.

Best friend tattoos, I have one, yeah, so,

obviously they're underrated.

This one was given to me by a man named Frog.

It was the only man we could find,

and he was terrible, but my best friend is amazing.

And these people have four birds on our wrist

because we love each other,

and I think that's great.

My sibling drinks Huel, which I think is similar,

it's just like powder that you eat instead of meals.

So, it's like, astronaut food, kinda.

It feels very efficient.

As long as it tastes okay, I'd say that's underrated

'cause we gotta get used to eating that kind of stuff

'cause the world's ending.
