Content

The girlies recount the history of humanity's most romantic creation — the love letter — and its contemporary counterpart, the sext. They talk James Joyce’s fart fetish, what revenge porn looked like in the 70’s, and why the American public waged war on teen sexting in the 2000’s. Digressions include raising awareness about The Great Vyvanse Shortage of 2023, a lament about the failure of American language education, and one listener’s poet boyfriend from hell.

My husband writes me a beautiful letter for every major occasion. When we got engaged, married, after I gave birth etc. Male expander for sure! Song of Solomon is like…quite naughty and is nonetheless sacred scripture 🙏🏻

Four years ago, my college history class was doing archive work in the library. The librarian singled me out to give me a specific project to look over— a letter correspondence between Helen hunt and Charlotte cushman, two women who lived in Colorado Springs in the 1870s. It was a series of love notes back and forth and they were so tender and sweet. My favorite line: “I am so sorry we can’t live in the same house, but I am satisfied with what is best for you.” I was falling in love with a woman for the first time that fall. I spent the whole class writing down quotes to show her later that day. Librarians got that sixth sense :,)

Sophia St Cyr

“Our Wives Under the Sea” is another spooky submersible book! it’s sapphic, weird af, & v well written

Amanda Weymouth

This unlocked a memory of my dad coming home from work with a thick ass packet for me and each of my sisters on the dangers of sexting and made us SIGN A DOCUMENT saying we will never sext

Linsey Mecham

I am crying real tears from that James Joyce letter

Tessa

Für Elise was actually a song that Beethoven wrote for one of his students whom he was said to be infatuated with, but when he found out that she was with another man he was so jealous he made the piece too difficult for her to play, which is so cunt if you actually think about it because like “okay you won’t love me? here you go, something you could never do xx”

iva

The reason most Americans only know English and can’t speak a different language isn’t education, it’s just American Exceptionalism. In most other countries, educational programs for learning another language are actually very similar to the American ones. The reason non-Americans are more likely to learn another language is because their native language doesn’t hold as much power as English does so it is expected for them to know more than just one. I’m not American and everyone around me know multiple languages and they do so because they learned it by themselves (often using what you learned at school as a foundation and than building on that on your own). So trust me, it’s not the fault of American education, it’s the fault of Americans. (I frankly find the way Americans blame their education for being ignorant redundant)

shif

the modern love letter is my situationship sending me a screenshot of a rupi kaur poem lmao bring it back to the 1800s pls

Sophie

this ep had me cackling in the middle of Whole Foods today

Phoebe Rodda

“if we had our vyvanse we could call and get our vyvanse” is so real - unfortunately i am a victim of the ritalin shortage in my college town as well 😔

Phoebe Rodda

also i read that the reason for the shortage is an increase in adhd diagnoses during and after the pandemic, in conjunction with more medical recognition of adhd symptoms in afab people. basically the number of prescriptions increased at a greater rate than manufacturing had the infrastructure to fill. i think it started with adderall and has now moved on to other stimulants as people who can’t find adderall switch to alternatives. companies who make stimulants have stated that they are in the process of increasing medication production with FDA support, but the shortage has still been ongoing since 2022

Caroline Quinn

The way I SCREECHED when you read Vita’s letter to Virginia after just having discovered Jodie Comer reciting it on YouTube… which is my new sexuality BY THE WAY

Lia Merkowitz

modern love is also a TV show on amazon prime!! every ep is based on a different essay, it’s sooo cute

Jazz

It’s wild to hear y’all learned some Spanish in elementary school. I was born 94 and so when I was in elementary school it wasn’t even on their minds to teach us until 8th grade when we did Spanish, French, and German for like 2 weeks at a time and then immediately had to decide what language to take i high school

zoe

Hi comunititty

Gabrielle Horvath

ELIZA! I wrote an essay on the history of the depiction of the nude body in art and I would love to share it with you. xx

audry laine

My Spanish teacher FAKED HER PHD/ DOCTORATE LIKE HOWWW

ssteph

oh my god, this ep unearthed a memory from when i was in high school, im a freshman, it’s 2012, and the height of the sexting panic. my school brings cops in to shame/scare us into not sexting, but it was like two middle aged white man cops so the whole thing was very victim blamey and slut shamey. problem for the cops is that i went to the crunchiest public school you can imagine and this absolute QUEEN senior would not let up on these men, she just kept grilling them on why their presentation was so focused on blaming women and not on the actual problem of revenge porn. they had no answers and i’m shocked the teachers let the Q&A part go on for as long as it did but it was glorious

Brigid McCarthy

Hi binchies 👼🏼 have a premium ticket to the 7:00 philly show and trying to sell directly to a fan rather than go through stub hub. Let me know if you’re interested :)

Ella Rene

JULIA the stimulant shortage is so real - i literally can’t get anything done because all stimulants in fucking NYC are GONE! I haven’t gotten my Concerta in 6 months as of today and every day is impossible. Good luck in your search - i feel your pain❤️

iva
>>112213929

oh yeah for sure, l was commenting on how they talked about their classes not being immersive and interactive. or how they learned the basics but now doing have a good comprehension of the language. and it also isn’t just about them, it is something i see a lot as a non-american multilingual

Ellen

hell yeah j’aime muzzy

Ashlynn Long

the way I WASTED my high school language classes on latin bc I was pretentious and thought learning a dead language would make me cool - now I too struggle through duolingo spanish and curse my idiocy

Sofia Kemeny

guys i fear that james joyce's wife was not farting but was indeed queefing

baby.yogurt

regarding learning languages, I'm also struggling w spanish bc my dad is literally a peruvian immingrant but never taught me spanish bc my white mom said no (she is legitimately evil and no longer in my life). I also had three white blonde women teachers while learning spanish in school lol and one of them apparently had January Jones as a student way back when (I grew up in South Dakota).......anyways learning a language is one of the hardest things I've ever ever done and I'm *still* not fluent bc learning in school is mostly about memorization for tests anyways and being immersed in the language is obv way better but I never rly had that opportunity. I'll never stop being furious that my mom made me miss out on the huge advantage of being bilingual honestly wtf is that

Summer

A fun thing i do with my long distance boyfriend is love letters. I’ve found cute vintage letters from thrift stores and fill the letters with trinkets. Feathers, dried flowers, my perfume, paper snippets, and doodle on the envelopes. It’s a wonderful way to connect and we surprise each other randomly through the week with a letter. 💜

Laura

I just know this one’s gonna hit

Jellybean

OMG JULIA the deep also disturbed me so deeply 😀😀 the giant grub…..

nora gore

being named nora listening to THAT letter 🧍🏻‍♀️🧍🏻‍♀️🧍🏻‍♀️

Emma MacDonald

the letters between oscar wilde + alfred really hit differently after you read de profundis where the first half is wilde basically dragging alfred for how terrible of a person he is 💀 and then they got back together AFTER his prison sentence !!!

Amy

As another bed rotter without my adderall, I’ve found the olly brain and laser focus vitamins have helped me when my meds are unable to be filled!

Sarah

I wish you guys talked about Craigslist missed connections on this episode hahahaha

ploomey

I could probably single handedly supply vyvanse for all the shortage affected people bc my psychiatrist gave me a bunch of doses and i never gave the ones that didnt work back so i just have a vyvanse lair now and im waiting for a opportunity to become a drug boss

zoë hessian
>>112213929

in my school district we didnt start languages until age 13 and i have only ever had one teacher who could actually speak fluently- the rest were either substitutes or they spoke minimal spanish, which is the case for a lot of schools in my county. genuinely i did not recieve a language education through the public school system which i would in fact say is the fault of the public school system

Delaney and Willa (Room 607)

the increase in ADHD diagnoses has def been a part of the issue but the DEA has been cracking down on us neurodivergent 20 year old teenage girls. The DEA slashed manufacturing capacities bc theyre allowed to regulate the amount of controlled substances that pharmaceutical companies can make. they also regulate how many prescriptions of a certain controlled substance a pharmacy is allowed to distribute a month, and before the increase in diagnoses, they were like cool idrgaf we are looking the other way. after the opioid lawsuits happened these controlled substance limits were enforced a lot more strictly, so there's essentially a waitlist for adderall at most pharmacies. part of the settlement for the lawsuits required pharmacies to crack down on controlled substances. all of this is really compounded by the fact that for whatever reason (whether shitty govt regulation or supply chain issues) the main ingredient in adderall and other ADHD medications is in a shortage. So the increased demand coupled with the restricted supply on several fronts has made a really bad shortage that tbh started in spring of 2022, at least for me in Chicago/Houston. https://www.vox.com/policy/2023/4/10/23671128/adhd-medication-adderall-shortage-2023 btw I went 2/3 of the spring semester without my medication and somehow made good grades but im trying to switch to Vyvanse bc I have gone over half of the past year without my adderall and it is truly the most frustrating thing ever... thank you for speaking on this issue.....

iva
>>112213929

I know a lot of people (me included) who wanted to learn a language so they started to learn on they own. I think it is something that is very common with non-Americans, it is almost expected. Many people learn a language after leaving school etc. It is just a difference in mentality/culture

izzy

my mom would always help me make an extra special valentine for whoever i was crushing on each year for valentine’s day in elementary school :,,,) (because we had to give EVERYONE in the class a valentine out of fairness if we decided to bring them) love that lady for always endorsing my exciting love life :,)

izzy

also i’m going to send in a poem a guy that a crush on me wrote and i think it’d be an amazing idea to do a patreon ep where you two just read/discuss/rate love letters and/or creative sexts that people have sent/received :-))))

Jessica

just wanted the binchies to know i listened to this episode while crocheting on an empty beach and there were DOLPHINS playing in the water in front of me!!! soooo delightful 💓

izzy

okay and so i AM shivering, shaking, crying at the letter to Virginia

madeline

Nooooooooooooo I take vyvanse 30mg this is the first I’m hearing ab this

Tessa
>>112230946

Okay is it just me or does it seem like NYC pharmacies are particularly bad? It’s either a bare CVS or an old family run place with extremely limited supply.

Ella Rene
>>112230946

It’s not just you! I had to go to a pharmacy in a basement in little italy this weekend just for them to tell me that they had run out😭 I think it’s cuz of all the college kids running around NYC

Julie

JULIA I HAD A TEACHER NAMED SEÑORA IRELAND

Roni Yaffe

I’m DYING at the mailbox moment letter, he was trying to be Allen Ginsberg but gave Jonah Hill in jump street 22 doing poetry slam

Veronica

WAIT to the valentines mailbox moment I had almost an identical situation but he ripped it up in front of the whole school. Gracie I’m with you sister <3

reilly

hopefully I don’t get flamed for being a killjoy but I don’t understand how y’all can read James Joyce’s letter for the purposes of humor to a large audience and in the same breath agree that those letters to his wife should have always been private and that you would be pissed if you were James Joyce…. Like maybe I’m just protective of James Joyce bc I love his books but I personally feel it is disrespectful to make fun of/read to an audience something that was intended for only one person and is highly embarrassing and personal 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Tiny.Taurus

I HAVE to say I went to an immersion school for Spanish until the 2nd grade. Not only do I NOT know Spanish but I’m also TERRIBLE at school. Maybe I didn’t go for long enough but it’s tragic.

Camryn

i really wish i had responded to the love letter inquiry bc my current partner wrote me a poem for my birthday that i do like, but i would’ve loved to hear the binchies’ opinion

Sam

Whenever Eliza talks about her experiences as a teenager developing her sexuality I feel so seen, it’s like she’s speaking my language about something I’ve never been able to share with others. relate to having been more promiscuous as a teen than any of my adult life, in ways that were damaging for me, because I was getting affection and attention that I was starved of elsewhere !!! I want to scream !!

Natalia Gevara

ELIZA’S LITTLE SISTER IS PART CUBAN?? Rise up latina binchies WE WON 🫡🫡🫡

Omg baby Eliza’s voice 🥺

Ava Anderson

Ok talk your shit on the vyvanse and stimulant shortage julia I have been struggling so bad and went into big depression vibes because I couldn’t get my prescription for a month and then missed my apptment bc I wasn’t on meds and slept through 😭

Ava Anderson
>>112255991

Also I live in Columbus Ohio btw so this is literally happening everywhere & when I tried to switch to adderall XR they said so yea um every CVS pharmacy in the nation is out of adderall rn & we don’t know when we’ll get it back….🧍🏻‍♀️😭😂 like ok I’ll go rot then

Melon

Re: Stimulant shortage I think this podcast summarizes it best: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1COMgM16mDywdJWZl53wRn?si=E1g-BqPTTiG5xvUtYCQflQ Tl:dr: in addition to telehealth and stimulant abuse, the FDA hasn’t increased the amount of amphetamine given to manufacturers to make stimulants given the rise in ADHD diagnoses despite pleas from patients and healthcare providers 🙃🙃🙃🙃 regulators are just prioritizing preventing abuse over patient access to treatment, which in the wake of the opioid epidemic trauma, is somewhat understandable, but opioids and stimulants are not comparable?? Also there were alternative pain management treatments and where is the alternative adhd treatment and also how else do we survive late stage capitalism?!?!

Melon
>>112256695

Haven’t been able to get my adderall filled since April!!!!!!

ssteph

ritalin girlies are down bad too 😔🤘

Sarah

NOT THE CYBERBULLY AUDIO IN THE EPISODE 😂

Sarah

Also the language learning info - Julia you’re right in that learning another language makes it easier to pick up on more in the future. I did my grad school research on dual language pre-k programs (jealous I didn’t grow up with this, all I have now is English and some mediocre Spanish just like everyone else) and research has also shown that when kids are fluent in more than one language they also do better in all academic subjects even those that don’t seem correlated (like math). Giving kids the opportunity to be bilingual is an amazing thing we can do for kids’ brains (and their general global skills obviously) so of course this country will never prioritize it! But wanted to share for anyone who has ever considered an immersion program for their kids or other family members!

Sarah
>>112234758

This was also my thought but I couldn’t decide which was worse so I forced the thought out of my mind

Sarah

for whatever it’s worth, 13 year old Eliza says “great, here we go” in the same tone as present day Eliza

if y’all do another drunk history/girlbosses from history episode i NEEEEED y’all to talk about the Tru’ng Sisters from Vietnam

Emma West

Surprisingly, it’s not just a portland thing, each state has an appointed poet laureate!! Not exactly sure what it’s all about but the North Carolina (Hi Eliza) poet laureate is my boyfriend’s grad school professor at Queens University!!

alexa schnur

my school didn’t start languages until middle school, and only required four years (out of the six where it was offered)

Emma West

also have to share part of a love letter my poet boyfriend wrote me for my twenty first birthday “I am but pieces without you, with you I am all that is whole, all that is complete” 🥲🥹

alexa schnur

binchtopia come to smith college and you can look at the virginia woolf collection and hold her books and letters in your hands <3

tylerr goldfish

I think an episode about adderall and stimulants would be awesome

Alice Zhang

Danielle

Men exclaim “ew why would you write this for me” and then later in life get depression when women don’t show interest in them

Danielle

Haven’t gotten to this point in the ep yet, and this line has me dying

mimi
>>112213929

having grown up in the US but not living there anymore, i can confidently say that it is both. the pressure of *needing* english or another language absolutely drives people to learn it - Americans don't have to learn another language, so you're right, they often won't. but also in the US, the institutional support is not there; it's completely inaccurate to say it's a similar situation to most other countries. public education in the US in general is severely underfunded, and languages are the first to get cut. i live in europe and almost everyone around me objectively had much, much stronger educational opportunities regarding languages. that creates a very different foundation to then be able to build on, as you say. the individual is only half the story. American exceptionalism does play a role, of course. but also the failings at the institutional level are a huge hinderance, creating a vicious cycle.

Ella

girlies talking of queer wartime love letters you HAVE to read Wilfred Owen and Seigfried Sassoon’s letters to each other! they were both british ww1 poets who met in a war hospital, the actual nature of their relationship is debated (historians will say they were besties vibes) but the letters are so so romantic and Owen literally confesses love in one of them. also Owen died a week before the war ended and Sassoon helped publish his poems after his death, but later wrote that he didn’t want his poems, he wanted Owen back 🥺 (if you look their names up there’s a bunch of articles about them but i love one in the Times Literary Supplement ‘Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon’s intimate confederacy’)

mimi

the weirdest love letter i ever received was from a guy i met one night in berlin... he sent me a 5pg letter telling me how he was in love with me, but along with this he sent his 20+ page manifesto that he had typed out, printed, and bound... on the front of it there was a blurry black and white photo of his body, i think you could see his dick. the manifesto was some sort of leftist utopian vision inspired by marx and i think gramsci... admirable ig, but ultimately flop it's now in a closet in my parents house in the midwest... hope my mom doesn't find it

lauren baker

can y’all collab with buggirl200 to make merch

Jade Sutton

My parents sent me to preschool in Shanghai (China) speaking only English hoping I’d learn how to speak Mandarin. I didn’t become bilingual, I became a selective mute for 4 months instead 😂😭 missed opportunity

baby.yogurt

kind of random but I've heard "revenge porn" be referred to using the term "image based sexual harassment" I feel like that is very fitting personally and rly gets across the impact of it

Caroline ONeil

here to say i haven’t been able to source adderall in literally 6 months 🫠 the solution is to call every pharmacy in the area and we literally don’t have executive function, how the HECK am i supposed to track down a drug

Calín

my ex once sent me letters after we broke up because I told him not to text me. Men. He used an amount of his cologne that violent the Geneva convention and could’ve been classified as chemical warfare…

Maria Freese

hey y’all my friend & I are selling 2 tix to the new york show because we can’t attend !! pls reply if your interested :)

Charlie

idk if anybody’s mentioned it yet but the vyvanse patent is expiring in august, which means that more companies will be able to make generic brands and the price will go down! idk if this has anything to do with the current shortage but it is good news for the girlies who take it. the vyvanse bounty is about to be verrryyy plentiful.

Abby

Julia’s “so TRUEEEE!” When Eliza was talking about being hit by a bus made me cackle

Hannah B
>>112212959

this reminds me of the time my mom made me sign a purity covenant that I wouldn't have sex before marriage and I signed it with my nondominant hand bc I learned on a series of unfortunate events that doing that makes the document not binding

Yvette Panaiotov

Literally almost failed this semester Bc I didn't have access to my Ritalin for two months

Yvette Panaiotov

Julia just motivated me to unghost my psychiatrist who I have been avoiding since I forgot my appt to refill my adhd script... did not have enough Ritalin to refill my Ritalin 🥴

shitwicki

one time i wrote out like, a fucking entire literotica story for this piece of shit FLOP of a man and I was super proud of it and literally showed it to a friend b4 i sent it but send it I did and this man literally replied w something around the lines of 'hot' GOD i need to kms

love y’all and this episode so much but y’all just skipped over Emily Dickinson’s sapphic love letter poems to Susan and me and my english degree girls r upset :(

Willow Bettencourt

if i knew this was going to be about sexting i would have rolled up my little sleeves and submitted a rich, RFQ inspired, text on the meaning, culturally, morally and personally of my favorite pastime, and most practice skill… sexting✨

Valeria Reynosa

AskFM is wild because how did we all collectively agreed and volunteered to get cyber bullied 😭

Luteal Swan

I got my nudes spread my senior year in high school. I was extorted by an abusive bf. Instead of people being concerned that I was being abused and manipulated by this dude, the bullying doubled down. I was slut shamed, harassed in person and online, I did not feel safe/ was not safe or protected, it felt like literally no one cared, or if anyone did have feelings about the situation, it was put towards blaming me. People even had the audacity to say he “didn’t deserve” to get in trouble(he was arrested because he leaked another girls nudes and her parents called the police). I almost didn’t graduate because I developed severe mental health issues. Being real I still have trauma from it… I graduated 10 years ago, I rarely visit home, people from high school still creep on my Instagram and stuff… it’s just weird. It’s like I got infamously hated for having my trust betrayed. Sorry this is long, this ep brought up a lot of feelings for me❤️

Kendall Castillo

Ugh I was just traveling in England and in a small bookstore in the countryside and saw an old letters of Virginia Woolf book!! I didn’t get it because it was very big and I didn’t want to travel with it but this episode is making me regret not buying 🥲

Lucy Johanneman

if anyone here is interested - vladimir nabokov’s love letters to his wife, vera, are published in a book called “letters to vera” and they’re very soothing to read. they last pretty much the whole of their relationship and while sometimes they’re mundane (i actually like this i think it’s wholesome) they’re also really gentle and beautiful declarations of love. i’ll read a letter or two sometimes when i need it.

Ondine

i just started vyvanse a couple days ago after trying ritalin and concerta so i have a shit tonne of stimulants that i don’t need in my house, there’s def not a shortage in australia

emma grace condon

this is unrelated but i had a dream that julia and eliza were vampires along with eliza’s dad and stepmom and they had to kill some guy to protect eliza’s little sister

Maddy short

Same thing happened to my ADHD meds I literally was having withdrawals and couldn’t do any of my work during finals

Alissa Martin

omg julia i was also affected by the stimulant shortage right before moving and it almost broke me. sending you love and strength

Michelle Bozzi

Hi binchies I’m soooo sorry to comment on this late but I am a pharmacist and can tell you why there is a vyvanse shortage: 1. Eliza is right, an asston of people were prescribed it from things like cerebral and other telehealth services over the pandemic 2. Supply chain shortages, which have been happening for a LONG time for a LOT of medications (there was a shortage of children’s amoxicillin a little while ago and it was actually fucking horrible) 3. The DEA puts a cap on how many of these meds can be dispensed- like only a certain amount of vyvanse/adderall/etc. can be given out per month or year; this amount also differs by pharmacy. This is LIKELY the main reason, the DEA has this arbitrary cap that means literally nothing!! 😌😌 but if you need to get stimulants, try sending the prescription to a less well-known pharmacy (like a grocery store or an independent pharmacy rather than a CVS or Walgreens) as they generally have less foot traffic and are more likely to have it in stock!!

Maia Cherin

Re listened to this ep tonight and was thinking: it would be cool if y’all set up pen pals for binchies so that we can write love letters to fellow binchies!
