Okay, so the Royal Wedding is all over forever. We have nothing to live for anymore, amirite?! WRONG! You’re totally gonna wanna switch that dial back to BBC America THIS weekend, too, ’cause it’s the season finale of Killing Eve on Sunday, and HOLY FUCK IS THAT EVER A GREAT SHOW! If you don’t know what I’m talking about, definitely check out the first seven episodes (which are on demand) // it’s murdery, it’s funny, and basically I love Jodie Comer more than I love myself. (Disclaimer: this is our GIF theme.)

“But IT IS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, MEGAN. And we are AMERICANS. We want to enjoy AMERICAN things, like BBQs and sinkholes!”

Yeah, okay, I’ll tell you some other shit to do this weekend! Calm down!

Before we start chit-chattin’ about all of that stuff, here’s some v. important #CONTENT you might’ve missed on BYT this week:

First, I’d highly recommend making a trip to DC this October/November, because our Bentzen Ball w/ Tig Notaro is gonna be FUCKING EPIC.
Similarly, our official Capital Pride opening party lineup is the stuff dreams are made of, so if you’re trying to kick off ye olde gay vibes early, probably consider a southerly jaunt.
We had a chat to Kai Campos of Mount Kimbie, who doesn’t want your goddamn labels!
We also spoke to Betty Who, who is just the best!
We didn’t exactly love Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Here’s what we think you should stream this week (in addition to Killing Eve), and most of it’s black and white.
And here is a Sad Girl Taste Test in which I was actually sad!
