Hi friends! Welcome back to After School ✨weekend edition✨, an extra long and extra opinionated youth culture digest for paid subscribers.

All I really want to talk about right now is Roe v. Wade and how angry I am about the state of things, and how absolutely f*cked it is that this is our reality. As the dissenting judges said, after today young women will come of age with fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers had. How is that possible? What is wrong with the Supreme Court? What is wrong with the world?

You’ve probably read as many furious articles and tweets and Instagram pleas as I have, so if you’d like a brief reprieve from rage-scrolling, I have about 1,700 words that’ll distract you for 5 or so minutes, mostly because I needed a distraction from my own anger.

So, anyway! Today we’ll be talking about:

  • NFTs. So many NFTs! It’s like brands suddenly think NFTs are the answer to all of their problems (who’s gonna tell ‘em…)

  • Why we’re all falling for “mid-century millennial”

  • The best city in the world (it’s not NYC) (and it’s definitely not LA)

  • Coastal grandmother has been replaced by a new aesthetic

  • The cleaning brand that’s cracked the code on TikTok

  • “I don’t Google anymore; I TikTok.”

  • And so, so much more

Oh, and also: I’m doing a new column for one of my favorite newsletters, Girls’ Night In, in which we ask Gen Zers our most pressing questions, and the first edition went live yesterday.

The reader question in question: What are the cool social media platforms? A big thanks to a few of my fave Gen Zers, Emily Herrera (a Very Online VC you should know, and one of the best Twitter follows out there!) and Autumn Greco (who is not Very Online but is Very Cool) for talking to me for this piece. Read it here, and subscribe here for future editions.

OK, let’s jump in.
