HAPPY WEEKEND! I just felt like that needed all caps this week. I hope your weekend will be fun! We had [a very diverting chat about all our fall projects yesterday](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-afternoon-chat-whats-your-autumn-project-10-2022/), in case you missed it. We've also got a new promo code from our friends at Acorn TV! [Use FUGGIRLS30 here for 30 days free](https://bit.ly/AcornTV%5FFugGirls%5FOctober?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (We're running a paid promotion with Acorn TV on our Instagram and Twitter, but this blog mention is just a freebie!)

Do you need new flat boots? Do you just WANT some? [Well, we rounded a bunch of them up!](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fug-nation-loves-cute-flat-boots-10-2022/)

WaPo has a [good explainer on student loan forgiveness](https://wapo.st/3CUhK8G?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)!

This is also great news: [Hearing aids are now available over the counter at Walmart, Walgreens, CVS and Best Buy](https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/17/hearing-aids-are-now-available-over-the-counter-from-walgreens-cvs-and-best-buy.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

This is very interesting -- and, like Ellen, I thought this was an open secret: [James Corden: Kinda Like Ellen.](https://pubx.co/fQINJ7?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (Maybe I just thought everyone knew that Corden was an a-hole because he was an a-hole to a member of Fug Nation, for which I have always hated him.) \[Lainey\]
