Ep 10: Daylight Saving Time Is Ruining Your Life, That Dumb Thing Timothée Chalamet Said, and Black Ballerina Spotlight
Daylight Saving Time is messing with your sleep, your mood, and honestly… probably your entire life. At least it is messing with mine and I hate it. In this episode of OkayishAF Does Whatever She Wants, I break down:
* The chaotic history of Daylight Saving Time and why “springing forward” is actually terrible for your health.
* How time changes impact mental health, sleep, and productivity (science-backed, not just me whining I promise)
* Timothée Chalamet’s stupid take on ballet and using that as an excuse to hype up Black Ballet dancers
* Celebrating Black ballerinas who broke barriers, including Misty Copeland, Arthur Mitchell, Raven Wilkinson, and more
If you love deep dives into history, mental health, pop culture, and arts, this episode is for you.
