Fall Vibe Report
🕑 Added 2024-10-02 09:20:45 +0000 UTCThe girlies send a dispatch from the beginnings of our favorite season and pronounce it a Medieval Girl Fall. From getting overly invested in The Lore to returning to silent meditation to the classics (apple picking, existential dread), they project a great incoming Fall season.

Hello my queens I am a fellow knitter and can I just say. Eliza I love your chill ass mindset around knitting but you can use a crochet hook to pick up stitches you drop and girl it is so easy! It will save your LIFE

storytime i used headspace for a bit but had a rlly bad period of intrusive thoughts (worse than usual (i have ocd)) n the intrusive thoughts headspace thing was paywalled i almost did a backflip off the roof

I would like to recommend the Rise app. It breaks up your day according to your energy and sends you a reminder to “wind down 😴📖🚿” and gives you a bed time. Idk I’ve been using it for a couple weeks and I feel like it’s been helping me go to bed earlier
Michelle Kenyon
Besties this was spot on I fear, just made Goulash, it’s stew season binchies

Eliza.. ur MIND when banning instagram mornings and evenings !!! I literally have cut my screen time so much and don’t feel like shit in the morning and night anymore !!!
taylor waller
julia… might i recommend a little puzzle when you get home and smoke
Katherine Wynn
girls libraries still have cd’s and records!
Rebecca
you can pick up a single dropped stitch in knitting without undoing the row (with a crochet hook or just your fingers)! once you learn it’s super easy , YouTube it:)
Rebecca
The Trader Joe’s Harvest Blend tea is life changing
Ali
less screen time = screen zen Eliza recommenced this app years ago and i still tell everybody about it
Ali
I found Binchtopia’s long lost sister wife pod !! Girl Historians is SO similar to early binchy eps and i luv them ! Big Ol Suggestion for those of you who are looking for more girly hosts
sophie jensen
huge thing that helped me cut down on screen time is keeping my phone on do not disturb esp during work hours! i don’t reach for my phone when i hear a phantom buzz because it’s not buzzing either way..
sophie jensen
my parents used to take us to the library to check out books and cds and we’d burn the cds onto copies at home then return them 😭 no harm no foul right..
Kayley
julia babes you need to try crochet!!so much easier than knitting and if you mess up you can immediately go back and fix it without destroying the entire row!! very much peaceful for the perfectionist queens
The Immaculate Witch Kaitlin Reckord
We start losing daylight at the Summer Solstice fyi!
Vanja
YES came here to suggest this !!
Cristina
Vermont Maple Ginger herbal tea is my fave this time of year!
Kirsten Drehobl
Also, Eliza, I got my kitties some wheatgrass to chew on and they love it and don’t mess with my other plants as much! We pretend to lightly scold them when they eat it so they enjoy it more, like a forbidden treat
Kirsten Drehobl
eBay gang rise up!!! I will never stop evangelizing about eBay
Mason
Should clarify that it’s a tea
Mason
Girls you must try the TJs pumpkin rooibos…
Lily Ana Verna
binchies please tell us where we can find the brat medieval tavern remix!!! I just looked for a while and couldn't find it :(
Boodles
Just got in my first car accident listening to this ep for the second time!!! We are good but glad y’all were with us when that happens
Lily Ana Verna
obsessed with the "less screen time" calls coming from inside the instagram reels house
Lily Ana Verna
that's SOOO true fall is way too brief!! I always get so stressed about missing the fall vibes! like in September fall hasn't quite kicked in, and by December everyone has shifted towards ~winter and Christmas~ so you really only get October and November for fall! it needs to be longer and that is MY TRUTH!
Lily Ana Verna
omgg I love Quechee Gorge!! also as a lifelong New Englander I hate to say it but fake maple syrup is a CRIME!! real or nothing
Skylar
my cat also has pika 🫣 she eats toilet paper rolls like corn on the cob 😭
arson_mommy
Oh also you can pick up dropped stitches with a crochet hook! https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/pick-up-a-dropped-knit-stitch-2117257
arson_mommy
THEE fall beverage is CHAIDER (half chai half apple cider and like a little oat milk) (topos too in ridgewood is making for the NY girlies) (but also high wire coffee for the Bay Area girlies)
Erinn
omg hi stl binchie😋
Sam
queens as someone who lives in VT the foliage is beautiful but almost every popular IG photo from VT is oversaturated to hell 😭 also pls try a maple oat milk latte they are DIVINE
robyn dowling
NEED julia’s opinions on the announcement of the century! (princess diaries 3)
Nancy
girlies if you need a screen time blocker Opal changed my life. from 8 hours a day now down to 3ish. also setting a shortcut for making my screen monochrome by pressing the button 3 times, makes my phone boring and helps me put it down. but I dont remember how I did that lol you’ll have to google it
Erinn
DIY your halloween costume
Allison
for decreasing screen time i use screen zen because its free and awesome and i also can’t go cold turkey
Kasey
thank you queen julia for the plant app recommendation 😌
Lia
When setting up the day (Sat, Sun) portion of the command you have to customs format the date so it’s just the day of week not extended format. Then you just apply the shortcut to when you open individual apps
Lia
so the command is: If any are true Current date is Sat Current Date is Sun Time is before 8 am time is after 5 pm Do nothing Otherwise Go to Home Screen
Derrian <3
omg wait could you tell me how you did it
Chloe Lefaivre
just thought of a worthy addition to the fall vibe report. not bringing your phone with you everywhere. if you’re going to the bathroom, literally just leave it in the bedroom.
Alice Shelly
eliza!!! you must visit forest park when you’re in stl on tour. the fall vibes are divineeee🍁🍂
Sabrina Alt
Same, mine actually holds 6 CDs at once 🤠 and could use my Playstation
Maura Dill
Can we get the link of the calf stretcher please
lg331
VT binchstress here♥️ in high school our soccer coaches said we can’t keep saying we are going to kill ourselves soooo we instead use to say “I’m heading Quechee Gorge”

HARLEY IS A TRANSWOMAN?!

I WORK PROFESSIONALLY AS A MAPLE TREE TAPPER AND I PROCESS SAP INTO SYRUP TO SELL binchie maple production assistants unite
Natty Zak
For the dropped stick, use a crochet hook work your way back up! 🧶 YouTube can explain it super easily 😁
Gina Brown
i used to think it was the former when i was younger! bc new englanders speak too fast and skip over words😅
Lia
I set up a shortcut on my phone that autocloses apps between 8-5 that are keeping me from doing work…. it just closes every time i open it
Hana Emerson
Having an old car I am equipped to play a cd in an emergency
Aidan Babuka Black
Where do I send my medieval binchtopia theme
Maddie Perlmutter
COLORING BOOKS ARE SO SLEPT ON!!! I love to do a mindfulness one or something like that but it's perfect after smoking or not but you can play music and not be on your phone!!!
Makenzie McCullen
yall need to go to coastal la it’s about 10 degrees cooler #muchmorefall 🥰
Anna Thorson
cat hydration tip: just mix water into the wet food! we do it with both our cats and they eat it right up
Nat
Y’all just make ur bf set a time limit (like one hour on ig) in parental controls on iPhone with a passcode
alex
My law school professor recommended “Chimp Crazy” in class today! Apparently her colleagues did the legal work surrounding it! I was like, I know about this because queen Julia recommended it!

Jim Patreon
I picked up my phone this morning as I woke up felt dread then immediately wished I was brushing my teeth - average binchtopia listening reaction
Annika Seppala
I really took advantage of the fall vibe of candlelit reading this weekend with helene power outages omg
Theresa Peters
ELIZA ELIZA ELIZA!!! You are going to be in Wisconsin for PEAK fall!! As someone who is a Wisconsin native and was deprived of fall for 4 years because I went to college in the Mobile, Alabama, I am bias. However, I will die on the hill that Wisconsin is the best place to experience fall. You’re going to LOVE Madison. Can’t wait to see you on tour again!!! 💕🍂
Avery Simmons
currently listening to this for comfort at the climbing gym because i’m actually the only woman in the entire place
Bobo
Eliza if you want to feel smart and know so much about an Irish topic read say nothing by Patrick radden Keefe! It’s amazing about the troubles in Northern Ireland so intensely researched and gripping
tulip
there is a way to pick up a dropped stitch w/out frogging it!!! u basically weave it to ur current row :) u can look up a tutorial on youtube
Rosie
Sometimes with either friends bf or family I’ll play catan (my fave game) and listen to medieval tavern music and drink tea… very fall vibes!
Annip
probably alex aleksic aka etymologynerd
The Immaculate Witch Kaitlin Reckord
I do looove candlelight! To time my showers (ya girl is known for dallying in the water- I'm a cancer sun 😬) I burn a single beeswax birthday candle- showering with the lights off is very therapeutic 👌🏻
Úna
irish people ARE good fall (autumn) vibe 😌
Tay
I am a girly in Australia heading into SUMMER to be a purse wide open slut but I still appreciate romanticizing fall and hibernation 🫶
Tay
Me too if we get the answer!
Michelle Fahey
Who is the instagram reels linguistics guy?? I’m intrigued!
Lauren Smith
I LOVE PLANTA APP I AM ITS BIGGEST DISCIPLE
izzy
it is a great vibe for fall! i’m honestly loving it but i can absolutely see why people wouldn’t dig it. the pacing can be a bit odd and the story meandering. i feel it’s also not really what was described to me but i’m totally okay with that. sort of a pretentious read but fun if you just embrace it :)
Victoria
Wow I just started the secret history yesterday! Saw one video on TikTok of a woman who owned like 10 copies and immediately downloaded it (on my kindle, sigh) It is truly the perfect fall vibe which is awesome because I didn’t know much about it before starting it, how are you finding it so far?!
bella
had the longest day at work then went to pick up beach volleyball and worked on grad apps and so tired but now i am in bed listening to binchtopia fall vibe report and i am okay and i will persevere
Samantha Cali
Flour not flower 🍃 lol
Samantha Cali
Also a cobbler is the cheapest and easiest/most reward - and you can make up the ratios just butter flower sugar and a pinch of salt on spiced fruit (with more sugar)
Samantha Cali
My fall vibe is wax melts bc your house always smells like cinnamon and also reading any books with a castle setting by candlelight (must flicker on page)
Danyal
random thought but is Julia saying “all the sudden” instead of “all of a sudden” ?? Does anyone else hear this?
girlypop
london fog is def my fall drink of choice!! plus lavender syrup is soooo easy to make at home
EmD
Julia try a chaider!! (Chai + apple cider) it’s amazing hot OR iced a multitalented queen
Emma Willis
you guys DO need to bring it back to a place of CDs. i love my cd player and i got it from goodwill for less than $15
Jenni ✨️
Not me just picking up my library requested book today 🍂
Kelsey Allan
Vibe report for all seasons!
Stephanie Joseph
LOVE this episode it came at the perfect time thank u queens🥰
Julia Short
Also as a binchie knitter it’s totally possible to fix dropped stitches without ripping out the row!! It’s called laddering up!
Rose Schupack-Dias
not me setting downtime on my phone as you’re speaking and then it shutting down patreon 😭😭
AK
My highest recommendation for the girlies who want to get off their phones is the Brick !! It’s like the screen time limiting apps but you have to tap the physical device to turn the limits on and off. It clicks for me WAY more than the app limits that are super easy to bypass https://getbrick.app
Julia Short
HARVEST TEA FROM TRADER JOES….so important to me
amber walls
that would be SO cool
Sarah Carrington
Simple outfit, cute belt!!!
KE
🤨🤨🤨
Sabine Ryan
it’s called kneecap! it’s not in theaters anymore but i think you can rent it on youtube?? it’s like a fictionalized retelling of how they got started !!
Haven Patrick
wait i've loved kneecap for a few years now.. what's the movie?!!!
Molly
Julia, the answer is puzzles for something to do with your hands that won’t stress you out
Sabine Ryan
taking the ireland theme and running with it—i saw a movie based on the northern irish rap group Kneecap a few weeks ago and was thrust into a compulsion to research the troubles
Helen Haak
You can set a passcode on downtime and if a friend puts the code in you can’t cheat unless you go and ask (very embarrassing)
Maddy
Julia there is another way! If you drop a stitch even if you did it a while ago you can kinda finger knit it back in. There are ladies on YouTube
Savanna Schwartz
Cat advice! Putting a little dash of water in their wet or dry food can help them stay hydrated and prevent the kidney issues 🫶🏼
Willa Yonkman
Not me listening to this a week after moving to the west coast from Vermont 😭😭 my dogs middle name was fucking quechee
Jordan Jones
Julia I’m not kidding, PLEASE drop the chai recipe. I’m begging I’m a huge chai girl.
abby elsethagen
Seconding this!!!
Emma Audrey
just set downtime on my phone… let’s see how this goes. thanks for the inspiration eliza ❤️
Amanda Frank

Lulu Wilson

Nicole Beaumont
We should start a book swap here! I have so many books and my friends don’t like to read
Edna Mode
Ok surrendering to the rhythm of the earth and moon but take it one further and embrace the cycle of the womb
Lauren Garanzuay
Not me listening to this fall vibe report from the Trader Joe’s parking lot when it is 90 degrees outside 🧍🏻♀️
della rose🪲
knitting binchy here: i always keep a crochet hook nearby so i can scoop up my dropped stitches and put them back on the needle. there are other ways to pick up a single dropped stitch but that is my fav <3
Molly Kerrigan
The Hot Apple Cider Tea from Republic of Tea is so fall and lovely and just amazing
Jane Straughn
adding to the peasant vibes, i’ve really been into trying not to add to my wardrobe and instead, mending, cropping, and removing stains from my current closet!
Lucy Hemsworth
The Fall book for me has to be the goldfinch I will be re reading this year!!!
Elle
Hi im a library assistant and currently in school for my master’s in library science and I appreciate you guys promoting libraries sooooo much. We have so many fun things you can borrow!!!! Libraries in my system have spices you can take home which is really fun :) Also there’s tons of fun programs every single day. You can literally do anything at the library ladies

new england born and bred and NOTHING hits harder than sweetening your coffee with real maple syrup
Adrienne
Listening to this as an east coast LA transplant wearing a cozy sweater although it will be 85 degrees today 😵💫😵💫 Well yes I am delusional
Jackie
yall need to try Screen Zen. it makes you do wait a mandatory 60s-5 min before trying to unlock the app you’re not allowed to use. by the time the timer runs out i’ve usually closed out anyway cause i have no patience.
alex
Saw this was posted while walking to my barista job and audibly yelled “THANK GOD” in the streets.
sfalz
maple latte is my fall go to!!! soooo good
Anna
It’s a Heat Lightning by Mitski ass fall
izzy
alsooooo the Opal app is AMAZING for screen time
izzy
also i purchased a lowkey expensive book light from barnes & noble for myself and a couple for my besties and it makes reading before bed sooooo cozy :,) i feel like a kid again
tansy
also I feel like the pre-25 to post-25 transition is real! my early 20s were an emotional/mental whirlwind and I feel like I didn’t really settle into myself and settle into self-confidence until 25-26
tansy
ll bean has the best fall jackets imo for that chef’s kiss coastal new england vibe
Abby Damouras
I put a 2 hour limit on tiktok for screen time so it sends me a big notification and closes out the app. Yes I can click it off- but the shame I feel after knowing I’ve spent two hours on tiktok(sometimes at 11am…) I normally close out the app and go on with my day
Amanda Schlitt
On the subject of chocolate chip cookies: bon appétit had “BAs best chocolate chip cookie” that I saved many moons ago and always go back to. The secret is brown. the. butter. And I swear it’s incredible. Before I bake I put a sprinkle of maldon salt on top and it really is *chefs kiss* ALSO - pre portion out all the cookie dough, and then FREEZE the cookie dough balls. The best part of a chocolate chip cookie is when it’s fresh from the oven. I keep my pre portioned cookie dough balls in a ziploc bag in the freezer, and then just pop one or two in the oven at a time whenever I’m feeling cookie vibes. LOVE YALL!
izzy
a book that i have!!! it was a gift!!! i buy a new book MAYBE once a year but i have plenty of books i want to read and something BIG i’ve been doing in 2024 is just borrowing friends’ books that they love and want me to read :,)
Maia T P
The OneSec app has really helped my screen time!

susie
girlies the hot cinnamon spice tea from harney and sons is my favoriteeee tea it’s so perfect for autumn
Matilda George
Reporting my so far successful screen time reduction method… I have been loving the app screenzen. SPECIFICALLY the WORDLE setting. I have it set where I have to solve a “word puzzle” to unlock 15 mins of time on my naughty apps (tumblr, instagram, tiktok). It also has a streak function, every time you open a naughty app it shows you your streak of how long you’ve abided by your own rules without cheating. The inconvenience of the wordle has eradicated my compulsive checking habit. I started on 2 September and my average screen time has gone from 7-9 hours to 3-5 hours.
Haven Patrick
it's finally a chilly morning here in kentucky so this is amazing timing for my commute
Allison Escobar
Vibe report!!
ems
omg i was JUST thinking last week how much i love the summer vibe reports and how sad it is you don’t generally do those for the other seasons, this is the best thing october could have brought me
Jamesy
omg cannot wait to linsen I love the vibe reports
Allyson Renwick
This is the best bday present I’ve ever received
Sarah Bowen
You can also make a 'lifeline' with some extra yarn and run it through the rows below what you are working on so if you do make a mistake you don't have to completely restart, just unravel back to the lifeline and the stitches will be kept in place and easily picked back up with needles! Learning this was a game changer for my knitting:)
Chloe Allen
i can vouch for getting a cd player!! collecting cds is soo fun and it’s much easier to manage cds versus vinyls
Athena111
Russian Caravan is THE autumnal tea
mahalia
yes u can pick up a dropped stitch!! even if u dropped the stitch many rows ago u just need a crochet hook !
Faith Dominguez
God I’ve missed you ladies
