(Video podcast available on Spotify & YouTube)You guys embarrassed me when you clocked the overly formal descriptions so now I’m working overtime writing my own stupid descriptions hope ur happy. this week on Pretty Lonesome, I talked about the start of season two (which is rn in case u didn’t realise) and then I talked abt why I am in LA (to execute my new segment which you will see next week) and then I went off about how I don’t hate myself as much anymore (recent development) and how not hating myself allowed me to develop some integrity of character and how that made me feel like I can be in a place as scary as LA without being worried I’ll become a freak. Ok. Love u byeFollow and connect with all things @PrettyLonesome across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

Sexuality, friendships, and jealousy [REVISIT]
(Video podcast available on Spotify & YouTube) This week, we’re taking a journey back in time as Madeline ponders the age-old question: Can men and women really be friends without any underlying tension? She reflects on how jealousy plays out differently in straight versus queer relationships, even briefly declaring jealousy a strictly heterosexual phenomenon. Madeline also shares why she’s more cautious around men than women, and how that extra caution might just lead to healthier friendships in the long run.
