Seriously. In the book, it seemed like everyone found her to be this super charismatic woman who was completely captivating. I’ve watched clips of her and I just don’t understand how she was able to charm her way through so much.

Also worth checking out is the Reddit AMA with John Carreyrou.

I could NOT put it down, holy cow. Can't count the number of times I looked up at my husband and exclaimed, "How did they get away with this??"

Ugh. Like, I get the frustration of Asian Americans competing for limited (unofficial) quota spots. But you know who isn’t the problem? Other minorities who benefit from AA. It’s the stupid rich legacy kids who have no business, academically, being in these schools. That’s who the fight should be against.

Yes! As someone who watched Pretty Wild as a guilty pleasure when it was on, I found this episode and Alexis to be quite incredible. She really nailed how all these people in Hollywood are just people and to see them as one dimensional losers who can’t get their shit together is unfair. Shame on me for thinking that…

Also, Reign Over Me.

Solidarity (in the disappointment).

So beautiful!!

Glacier is hands down my favorite NP. And I went there when half of it was closed due to fire, snow, and bears last year, and I still loved it. That place is just incredible!

Ooooo! That’s on my list! I just bought an annual National Parks pass half an hour ago, since I have decided to do the 59 Before 59 Challenge. Will be hitting up Mt Rainier in couple weeks for some wildflowers; solo tripping to Lassen the week off between jobs; camping a long weekend at Crater Lake; and summiting Mt…

I am so sorry this happened to you. Sending you lots of love and warm thoughts.

I’m trying to do one National Park each year too! Definitely recommend Glacier National Park. Went there last year and it was absolutely incredible - my favorite national park so far. Unfortunately, one of the visitor center signs says it will all be melted by 2030 🙁

Me too! I haven’t seen too much of Europe and feel pretty lucky that my few experiences there were paid by the company. They usually sent me to China for overseas trips.

Is there a particular country or region you are interested in?

So sorry for your loss :(

Sorry you are hurting. I enjoy your posts - I imagine I would enjoy you IRL. Please stay with us!

Finders, keepers. I can respect that.

Would you be open to a timeshare arrangement? Because I’d like to be part of the party too!

Sending you the biggest of internet hugs!

When I first told my husband I wasn’t planning on changing my name when we got married, he balked. My whole thing was that if was so important for us to have the same surname, he was more than welcome to change his to mine. He said, “That sounds like a lot of work,” and never brought up the subject again.
