Monthly thoughts
No, this isn't about menstruation.
So in the calendar we use in the UK, there are 12 months. This wasn't always the case. Originally, there were 10 months.
January, named after the god Janus
February
March, named after the god Mars
April
May
June
September, the seventh month (think sept=seven, like septuplets)
October, the eight month (think oct=eight, like octopus)
November, the ninth month (IDK)
December, the tenth month (think dec=ten, like decade)
Anyway, this didn't work very well, so they added two months. July, named after Julius Caesar, and August, named after Emperor Augustus. Which is fine and all, but then they didn't adjust the names of September-December. TBH, this seems like the easy part.
It's also weird that only two months are named after gods. There are a lot of gods! Get creative!
So that's my beef with the calendar.

I Robot, You Jane Fashion Part Four
Buffy’s ‘robot slayer’ outfit: 7/10
This jacket gives off Cruella vibes. I love the shape and length, but I go back and forth on the pattern.
Jenny’s ‘that’s not where I dangle it’ outfit: 8/10
I think this episode has Jenny's best hairstyles. This bob is literally perfect for her. This outfit is cute. I think they did a great job establishing her style and personality while also not going too over the top. The halter top would probably not be teacher-appropriate without the jacket though.
Buffy’s ‘normal relationship’ outfit: 6/10
This could be so, so much better! I love the sunglasses, I love the colour of the dress, I love her hair, but I want the boots to be a lighter colour and for the dress to fit better. Can you imagine how amazing this outfit would have been if the boots were white? That alone would have elevated this outfit so much for me.
Willow’s ‘mourning moloch’ outfit: 8/10
I like this one. It's nice and simple. This may be reaching but I like how she's wearing all the dark colours reflecting her mood on top but under the hoodie, you can see the white top peaking through. It feels like a way of saying that Willow is down and hurt right now, but it's not forever.
Xander’s ‘we’re doomed’ outfit: 6.5/10
I don't think that the sweater and the pants match well. I think it would be better with a pair of jeans, but I also don't really like the sweater.

How to Create a Content Calendar for Your Marketing Strategy
A content calendar is a tool that helps you plan, organize, and schedule your content across different platforms and channels. A content calendar can help you save time, stay consistent, collaborate with your team, and measure your results.
But how do you create a content calendar that works for your specific needs and goals? In this article, we will show you the steps to create a content calendar from scratch, as well as some templates and tools to help you along the way.
Step 1: Define your goals
The first step to creating a content calendar is to define what you want to achieve with your content. What are the main objectives of your content marketing strategy? How will your content help you reach them? How will you measure your success?
Some common goals for content marketing are:
Increase brand awareness
Generate leads
Nurture prospects
Convert customers
Retain customers
Build loyalty

To make your goals more specific and realistic, you can use the SMART framework. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. For example, a SMART goal could be:
Increase organic traffic by 25% in 6 months
Generate 100 new leads per month from blog posts
Convert 10% of email subscribers into customers in 3 months
Step 2: Research your audience
The next step is to research your audience and understand their needs, preferences, challenges, and motivations. Your audience is the group of people who are most likely to be interested in your products or services and who can benefit from your content.
To research your audience, you can use various methods, such as:
Analyzing your existing customers and their behavior
Conducting surveys and interviews with your prospects and customers
Creating buyer personas that represent your ideal customers
Using tools like Google Analytics, Facebook Insights, or HubSpot to gather data on your audience demographics, preferences, and pain points
Step 3: Choose your content types

A content plan is a document that outlines the details of your content creation and distribution process. A content plan can help you:
