🄵 Chat, is no social media a red or a green flag?

Plus, here’s how you can make NAIDOC Week 2025 count šŸ–¤šŸ’›ā¤ļø

Happy NAIDOC Week 2025 to all of Australia’s First Nations peoples! This year’s theme is ā€œThe Next Generation: Strength, Vision and Legacyā€, and we’re taking this week to celebrate the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples šŸ–¤šŸ’›ā¤ļø. For non-Indigenous Aussies, check out this week’s featured articles for ways to show up and be a meaningful ally, not just this week, but always.

In other news this week, we really need to talk about this viral X thread that is absolutely taking me OUT — people sharing names they’ve come across that just go unnecessarily hard. Personally, my favourite so far is this gem:

What’s the wildest or most iconic name you’ve come across IRL? Mine has to be this very sweet little girl I met in primary school named ā€˜Peppermint’ 😭.

In other news, Wimbledon 2025 is officially in full swing šŸŽ¾ (pun intended)! And no, I don’t actually care about tennis — I’m here for the celeb couple sightings and the serving of looks. Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge? They absolutely slayed. That said, we need way more Challengers energy up in here šŸ‘€.

See you guys next week,

Q: ā€˜Burramatta’, the Dharug name for Parramatta, refers to which fish?

This love note is for the guy I went on a Hinge date with last week who doesn’t have any social media. No Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or even LinkedIn — sir are you in witness protection? At first, I thought it was a red flag, but then you asked me who Trisha Paytas was and genuinely thought ā€œslayā€ referred to dragons. I realised then that you’re just a clueless man living under a rock. And honestly? It’s kind of hot. Anyway, I might be delulu, but let me know if you want to hang out again. I’ll even explain the whole Sister Squad lore from the beginning…

Overheard this borderline-yelling convo between two girls at a loud bar last week: ā€œOMG, your nails are soooo pretty!ā€
ā€œThanks!! I just got them done.ā€
ā€œWait…I love the patterns — is that a sticker??ā€
ā€œNo, it’s just nail polish.ā€
ā€œSo like…it is a sticker?ā€
ā€œNo, it’s just nail polish.ā€
ā€œWait. So it’s not a sticker??ā€
ā€œNo?? It’s. Just. Nail. Polish.ā€
Sooo I guess we’ll never know if it was a stickerā€¦šŸ˜”
