Bare Minimum Standards, Black Love, + Freaky Target Baddies

Aniyah and Melea — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 23:00:00 +0000

We're back! This time, recording outside on location because we're committed to chaos. We're talking about why you need to stop accepting bare minimum effort in relationships (no, liking your story is NOT boyfriend behavior), celebrating Black love without the toxic media narratives, recapping the cursed market, and the Target run where literally everyone was a baddie. Also: blocking vs unfollowing, Bad Bunny discourse, "mouse boyfriend" energy, and why we're skeptical about the Beatles biopic casting. Oh, and we check each other's fits at the end because of course we do.

P.S. If you survived our audio troubleshooting in real time, you're a real one.

First Episode Chaos: Spotify, Separating Art From Artists, + Our Shared Psychosis

Aniyah and Melea — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 18:30:00 +0000

Welcome to the very first episode of The Bwork! We’re Melea and Aniyah, and yes, it’s chaotic from the jump. We’re talking Spotify ads (and why we have Opinions™), separating art from the artist (Neil Gaiman, Kanye, and everyone in between), and the concert story that proves we share one brain cell. Oh, and North Carolina decided to become a winter hellscape, so we’re spiraling about that, too. This is unfiltered, unhinged, and exactly what happens when two best friends hit record.
