Does keeping death visible boost productivity?

Mamamia ran an article about "women who squirt" and the comment section lost its mind. So, why are men so invested? And... do we all have to learn how to do it?  

Also, you're getting up earlier and there's a term for it. 'Dawn Culture' is the reason Australian beaches are packed at 6am. So why the rush, everyone? 

And, how many weeks have you got left? Why a motivational tip Em stumbled across on her doom-scrolling freaked her out and made Holly almost order some extraordinarily confronting home decor. 

Plus, recommendations and Michelle Obama's uncompromising rule about who gets to give parenting advice.

Recommendations

Em recommends this Salmon bites recipe from Recipe Tin Eats.  

Jessie is recommending something her family did at her grandfather's wake; a shared mic last word celebration, where everybody can take the time to share stories and celebrate the life that was lived. 

Holly recommends Down Cemetery Road on Apple TV + 

The episode of MID Holly references with Kemi Nekvapil can be found here.
