I am back from the Shadow Realm, let's get this party started

*Recorded Nov 1st* and SORRY it a) took so long, and 2) is late to posting from the time it was recorded... but my chronic tardiness was literally the concept of the last episode so you can't say i didn't warn you :3

I will defs be doing an updated on one Palestine and thoughts surrounding the internet landscape happenings throughout the last two months. In the meantime, I'm reposting great sources all the time on TikTok and some great accounts to follow for both Palestine/Congo/news/misc. political stuff:

This one is for my chronically late and terminally tardy binches out there. We have my bestie, Hannah, here to offer perspective from the other side of my biggest flaw... If you're in the same boat, know you are not alone and we will have a support group meeting at some point... start time TBD.

You can follow my gorgina bestie @hannahCbieber on all platforms; follow the pod @frankieneedsfriends on instagram; and me on youtube @frankiesteinsfx if ya nastyyy :3

(Don't forget to email your answers to the We're Not Really Strangers game to frankieneedsfriends@gmail.com!)

Here's your dose of mental Imodium to prevent those moments of verbal diarrhea, as it were. What is "oversharing" and why do we do it? This week we're going Commentary with a good ole free association style rant that hopefully inspires some empathy, or at the bare minimum, apathy. Remember, if it doesn't apply, let it fly.

Lemme know your tho(ugh)ts/opinions; share your questions, comments, and concerns; AND write in for the next We're Not Really Strangers episode to frankieneedsfriends@gmail.com, or dm me on insta @frankiesteinsfx :3

Do you think I've ever been fired from a job? If so, what for? We talk about your assumptions and hear a couple of submissions about the world's best unifier and Biggest Enemy #1: The Man; The Boss (and I'm not talking Springstein); at the very least, shitty middle managers.

If you didn't get your submission in, don't worry! We'll be doing a part deux to this at some point so write them in at frankieneedsfriends@gmail.com or dm at frankiesteinsfx on Instagram :3

Love Youuuuu <3

We're skipping the talking stage and diving in head-first by playing We're Not Really Strangers. Frankie Needs Friends is where I, Frankie, ensnare every last one of you to be my parasocial bestie or sworn enemy...you decide. Every week I'll share my stories and ask you to submit yours, as it relates to the card of the week, and we will break past the layers of post-post irony so we can be genuine and earnest! (maybe a little irony as a treat)
