I was less than a year old. What amazes me is that it is still a punchline to this day. Jonestown is a joke now, and I feel like it has been for decades. Be it ignorance or the general stigma of cult membership (Heaven’s Gate remains a joke too twenty years later) it is something that our generation has laughed at.

This is fascinating. I have always been interested in those who survived and HOW they survived. I can’t imagine overcoming such an experience.

If I were paying $80 to $160 for shit, I also get the pleasure of having to wipe my hands with stainless steel? So I don’t smell disgusting? This is peak weird.

I don't care how good it works. Anything that smells like hot dog water isn't getting smeared on my face. Rule #1 of face stuff is Must Smell Inoffensive. 

I’m a single entrepreneur so it’s funny that it didn’t even occur to me that the message could be read two ways. From a friend, this is completely normal for me (there are entire seasons where my crew is too busy running businesses to talk). From someone I’m romantically interested in, this is a pretty darn…

Commonly you hear two conflicting phrases:

* [x] women should be grateful for the attention

* No one would have sex with [x] women

Oh how I wish I had that kind of disposable income to afford La Mer. I wouldn’t buy La Mer, it would just be nice to have the money.

Pish-posh. Go big or go gnome: La Mer The Essence is $ 2,500 for 3 × o.5 ounces.

I was physically attacked. It literally felt like fighting for my life. I thought I would die. After being grinded on I also very much thought I’d be raped, and it felt like he was trying to sexually intimidate me. Prior to that, he’d be in spaces he wasn’t supposed to be where I was alone. I got called “sweetheart” by…

CE Ferulic retails for $166 an ounce, by the way, while C-Firma will set you back $80 an ounce,

Wait, so a black person created something only to have it coopted by white people for their own purposes?

The thirst is never quenched.

It really does seem like something I might text someone. “Sorry, was super busy at work today. So what’s up?” It’s kind of scary that I might hurt someone’s feelings or even go so far as to ruin a relationship by texting something that seems harmless.

That’s cute!

No real examples to share because I delete all texts immediately after reading, but a family crisis in recent months necessitated quite a few group texts to share information family wide, and a surprising number of people in my family accidentally texted back to ALL when they thought they were just texting to me.…

I’m not remarkably thin and my breasts are not remarkably large. But because I have the small band size/large cup size combo, there are no bras to be found within at least 300 miles in any direction. I had to replenish my wardrobe recently and it involved buying $600 of merchandise to try on, then returning $300…

Fabulous interview with an awesome subject.

great interview!!! As a small breasted lady I would like to point out that VS fails those of us on the opposite end of the spectrum as well. I’ve never been able to find a properly fitting bra there that wasn’t a bralette.

I see what you’re saying, but your comment kind of came across as something like...someone saying “well, automation!!!” in response to a conversation about increasing wages for fast food employees.

Fantastic interview. I really appreciate the discussion on the value of our lingerie/clothes. We are so used to fast fashion that we think that clothes are supposed to be cheap rather than some poor lady locked in a factory in a disadvantaged country is making pennies on the dollar to make it. And then the pollution…
