Microefficiencies & The Politics Of A Mean Group Chat

The world is not made for me. The very melodramatic Substack that describes every short girl’s problems. So today, shorties Mia and Jessie are joined by taller girl Amelia Lester and Mamamia's even taller Deputy Editor Stacey Hicks, to figure out who’s got it worse.
Also, why do we need to be so efficient all the darn time? Micro-efficiencies are the new craze and with their increase, it’s our chance to rest our decision-making brains.
Plus, in this auditory medium, we present an optical illusion. Blame Jessie. If you'd like to see how high you are on the vision leaderboard, the illusions will be on our Instagram.
And of course, recommendations: a trip to the cinema, a very fancy kitchen gadget, and a fascinating documentary.
Recommendations

Jessie recommends The Settlers on ABC iview
