Fug National Katherine, who works at Alight,  the humanitarian aid organization, wrote in this week and asked us to share the following about the current situation in Sudan, which we were more than happy to do: “The situation in Sudan is increasingly dire. There is particular need for humanitarian aid and access to health services. I’m wondering if you might consider giving folks a primer on the situation and letting them know that Alight is on the ground responding with critical support in areas where staff are able to be a bit more mobile.”

This week, at Drinks With Broads, all subscribers got Heather’s take on the issues with this season of Ted Lasso, and the introduction of a new feature called Enter Through The Gift Shop and folks at the paid level — $5 a month, or $50 a year! — got both our Succession and Yellowjackets recaps, AND a round-up of Coachella gossip, as well as the big news that Mischa Barton is joining a legacy Australian soap that we all thought was cancelled.

And, finally, I meant to share this last week, but dropped the ball. Beloved Fug National Tony G went to New York’s Easter Parade and saw some AMAZING hats that he shared with me. I wanted everyone to see this amazing snap in particular:

That is so clever and great. What a creative look! Hopefully Tony G will pop in and tell us more about his experience; it sounded so fun!
