What if instead of being on the brink of disaster, we’re on the cusp of a better world? No one can deny the challenges the world faces, from pandemics to climate change to authoritarianism.

- Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk!
- Ethical consumerism: is it truly possible, what are the pros and cons, and do we feel like we're better than everyone else when we make sustainable choices? :eyes:
- #Millennialproblems: Turns out lab-grown diamonds aren't totally conflict free (just like the millennial experience, yolo).
- We rag on the trend of using sustainability as a status symbol - ethical consumerism often comes with a high price tag, rendering it inaccessible for some.
- Let's be real: how often are we actually following up on the ethics of a company of product we like?
- If a deinfluencer convinces you to buy something you don't need in the name of minimalism, is that a net positive?
- In related news, an EU study has found that most influencers fail to disclose advertising, so how many times have we been advertised to without our knowledge?
- Andrew (aka your internet savvy big bro) has some helpful tips and tricks to spot when advertising is happening, even if it's not clearly disclosed.
- This week's recommendations are for all y'all on the move: Do a sibling road trip with your bro/sis/brother from another mother (Laura), prAna hiking gear (Andrew), and elastic shoelaces (Pam).
And in this week's installment of After Dark:
- The friendship series part 4: dealing with picky friends.
- Who else face palms over friends with no service industry background making a scene at restaurants?
- Excessive pickiness with little self-awareness can be a red flag for bigger issues.
- The stunning update to Andrew's Bumble BFF journey.
