Hi I’m Isabella. Once upon a time I was Joss’ Miserable Boss™ which was a life/career defining honour.
Here are some things that have been floating around my brain! Hope you enjoy!

How a 5-Person Team Made an Oscar-Winning Movie's Effects | WIRED
I think about this video at least once a week. People are wild, people are weird, people use frankfurts to create floppy fake fingers!!!
If you don’t have the patience for a 6 minute video (pls have the patience for it) just skip to 3:50 where they talk about the puppets.
This channel is a balm for my brain. There’s Street Style where ‘experts’ sit in Parisian cafes and comment (from afar) on each of the featured people/outfits. Then there’s Une Fille Un Style where pretty people who are also conveniently rich and smart and stylish and show us their homes and wardrobes. And then, there’s What’s In My Bag where even more famous people politely dump the contents of their bag for us to nosey through. In real life this series would be random tampons and the weird crummy bits that float around every bag irrespective of whether you’ve had a pastry or not, but we’re not here for reality!!!
Scene Stealer: The True Lies of Elisabeth Finch Parts 1 & 2
I can’t with this. I CAN’T!! People blow my mind.
If you’re having a really slow day at work, or if you need a bit of a reality check, read these articles. They chart the unraveling of one of Grey's Anatomy’s lead writers, who passed off other people’s trauma and chronic diagnosis as her own, writing them into her own story and award winning episodes for the show.
I’m not a GA fan, in fact I don’t think I’ve seen a full episode, but you really don’t have to be. If you like scams and 2nd hand goss (more on this below), this recco is 4u.

Fiore Bakery
I’ve been schlepping from Swansea Heads (my parents) to Sydney (my friends) more times than I’d like to admit over the past few months (call me bicoastal) but the best thing about this transient lifestyle has been stopping at Fiore for a panino.
Yes, a panino. A little sandwich that tastes as cute as it sounds. Affordable! Customisable! Portable!
Second Hand Goss
Ugh literally my favourite thing. It’s bitchy without being personal, salacious without consequence.
To master the art, simply go about your life as normal and collect snippets of strangers' conversations and then relay that info back to your friends with lots of incredulous sighs and indignation.
Art shows, Redleaf and eaves dropping on first dates are great places to start.
Being Nice To Your Friends
I have really really great friends. They’re silly and smart and emotionally intelligent and while I constantly rave about them behind their backs, sometimes I forget to tell them how great they are to their face.
Also also sometimes I think I save my best material to charm strangers (we can unpack that later) so this is your reminder to be your best self with your best friends and to let them know they’re great.
