A MOS vlog AND a BLOG??? Nov 2025

Hi Mossies/ Mosquitoes,

Wow we’re really rolling with that name aren’t we? 

Welcome to the first ever edition of the MOS newsletter. We were already in your ears, now we’re in your email. Just popping by - between your monthly reports, client woes and crazy workflows - to remind you that nothing is ever that serious. 

Once a month you’ll get a roundup of all things MOS-coded. We’ll use this as our lil’ corner of the internet where we get to reach out to you, talk about girlhood, and dig a little deeper. Think of it as a cozy catch-up where we get to share what’s been on our minds, what we’ve been loving, and what’s been driving us (mildly) insane. 

So grab a snack, sip something cute, and let’s catch up.

MOS CHAKNA: THINGS THAT DIDN’T MAKE IT TO THE POD

Pick-mes & performative males: Pick me started as a way to call out girls who threw other women under the bus and suddenly became “let’s bully any woman who likes sports.” Performative males started as “let’s call out fake woke guys” but then became “men aren’t allowed to like anything girly.” Something to think about. 

Aleya Ghost Lights:  In the marshlands of West Bengal, fishermen whisper of lights that float where no man walks. Pale blue orbs hover above the water, flickering like lanterns calling you home. A tired fisherman once followed them, thinking they led to shore, but he was never seen again. They say the Aleya are souls of the drowned, jealous and lonely, luring the living beneath the water to keep them company forever. 

In case you want to go down a rabbithole: r/cogsuckers is the enemy subreddit to myboyfriendisAI. 

Dead Internet Theory:  The theory claims most online content since around 2016 is generated by bots or automated systems designed to shape opinions. Please drop a comment to prove you’re not a bot.

WORD ON THE MIC IS

that we almost had a certain author on the pod  but decided the book was giving too much self-promo and too little self-awareness. The manuscript didn’t slap, so the invite got scrapped.

We’re quoting: Alice Walker, who said:

"The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any."

We’re All Ears

In this section we tell you something we’re pondering and you can write to us with your thoughts, stories, experiences, hot takes and emojis. 

1. What’s the best female friendship you’ve seen in a movie?
2. Why don’t they put hip measurements in some size guides?
3. What’s scarier: growing up, or realizing your parents didn't have the choice?
