👀 LOOK: #90s nostalgia continues to be a thing.⁠
⁠
🎧 LISTEN: “If you have an opinion,” #Paramore has some thoughts on what you can do with it.⁠
⁠
🤣 LOL: Washington state’s congressional delegation has been re-gifting this “gimlet-eyed monstrosity” of a painting to its newest member since 1976. ⁠

Meet a TueNighter: We're thrilled to feature Emmy award-winning TV host & video producer Lizzie Bermudez (a.k.a. @LizzieBtv) in this week's TueNight 10.⁠
⁠
We love Lizzie's fun-loving energy! She's on a mission to help women over 40 embrace the "middle ages" with humor and authenticity — currently, Lizzie's also working on a new podcast for midlife women called "Our Halftime Show." 🙌⁠
⁠
→→ In her TueNight 10, Lizzie also talked about her past life as a TV news anchor:⁠
⁠
❝I loved it then but never got a chance to be the "real" me — these days, thanks to social media, I create my own content from home, often with no makeup and occasionally no bra!❞⁠
⁠
Yep... that's so Lizzie... keeping it real... as TueNighters do. 🫶⁠
⁠
✨You can catch Lizzie's speed Q&A featured this week on #TueNightSocial by clicking on the LINK IN OUR BIO @TueNight.✨⁠

#TBT: We recently asked TueNighters to help us create a legit #GenX mixtape of 80s songs and... whoa... y'all brought it, TY!⁠
⁠
We've uploaded these jams into a playlist for TueNight on Spotify: LINK IN BIO @TueNight.⁠
⁠
✨ You bet there'll be additional volumes for the 80s, 90s, and 00s to come... because from vinyl to cassettes to cds to mp3s... #TueNighters know how to work a playlist. 🎶⁠
⁠
👉 👉 DROP YOUR FAVE 80s SONGS (all genres welcome!) in the comments below and stay gold, Gen-Xers! 🤘⁠

This week's featured story: we're proud to spotlight Brooklyn-based writer and former TueNight community manager Kerika Fields' debut novella "With Your Bad Self" ✨⁠
⁠
@With_YourBadSelf is a coming-of-age love story set in an economically challenged Brooklyn on the precipice of WWII where 'Love Conquers All' may not be true this time.⁠
⁠
→ → We're super stoked for Kerika (@FlashAndCircumstance) and the well-deserved praise she's receiving for her amazing storytelling!⁠
⁠
She had us at the dedication page:⁠
⁠
❝I dedicate this book to my Maternal Grandmother Marie Conner — thank you for sharing your stories with me over the kitchen table down at Ashland; for remembering what you could, the best you could. Because this is your story... truncated, reimagined, retold. I tried my best to do you justice❞⁠
⁠
We couldn't love that more if we tried. 🫶⁠
