What, if anything, made you laugh in the past 24 hours. If nothing made you laugh, write about something that made you smile. If nothing made you laugh or smile—write about why.

So, for those of you asking, as @justjeren starts to take clients in California and Texas (tell your friends!) we don't necessarily want all that stuff out there so it's for subscribers only after the first two weeks--where it will be on all podcast platforms and YouTube open to the public.
#FactorySettings went behind the paywall at Substack because they support our RSS feed and podcasts--which we don't have the support for here on Locals.
We are talking about putting the videos here so people can have access to the entire back catalogue on Locals as well, but logistically this isn't easy either without making 40 new posts and aesthetically that will drive me insane.
If you can afford it and want access to the back catalogue, please sub to our Substack too (bridgetphetasy.substack.com). If you can't but are a massive Factory Settings fan and just need those old episodes, reach out to us at phetasycomedy at gmail dot com and I'll see what I can do.
Otherwise, please enjoy the free version during the two weeks it's up!

The time has come, Pham!! It’s officially the end of our Locals era. This means that starting now, all of our content will be centralized over at Substack and not Locals.
As you can probably see, my life is getting increasingly more bonkers, in the best possible way--but that means dividing my time between two subscriber platforms is no longer sustainable. Consolidating all of the Pham in one place will make it possible to give you more of the focused attention you deserve.
Don’t panic.
Locals is where it all began so the move is bittersweet. I have made lifelong friends here. We’ve done writing prompts together. Worked ...
Hello new followers, I hope I don’t disappoint you. I want this place to feel like home, where we can escape the Thunderdome and process the world. Where we can post dog pics and recipes and book recommendations. Where we support each other as we get sober, lose weight, embark on new business opportunities, creative endeavors, relationships and travels. I want this to be your oasis of sanity and laughter in an increasingly mad world. A creative outlet where you can share your spirit with us.
We might not have any control over the news cycle—but we can control our habits and attitude. It all starts with us. And hopefully a little piece of that will start here.
Pham, I know it’s late for some of us, but I haven’t had a song in my brain in a bit. So, here’s one of my favorite poems instead.
Poem of the Evening💙
“Come live with me and be my love.”

The writing prompts are back! And since everyone is talking about "what is a woman?" I thought we should dig into our Factory Settings and find out what we learned about this stuff.
