Just so you know, I'm brazilian, and women here use black tape to suntan and get that perfectly simetrical tanline. And that's old... like older then 2023 for sure. If you want to go on a deep dive on the trend, just google "brazilian black tape tanning". There is even a kind of "salon" for it (basically, just women on top of a building sun tanning, while someone throws water on them from time to time to cool them off lol. Anitta showed this on a 2017 video, but they do actually exist - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDhptBT_-VI&t=1s)
I sadly do not have capacity for a book club right now but I am so happy you picked Cultish!! When I read it, I raved about its contents to everyone in the lunchroom at work for weeks. I saw my world through the Cultish lens for a blessedly long time!!
Wow, I’m growing out a rat tail now… this is very exciting. Talk Girl was my original inspiration, I need more of her energy lately 😬
wow right on time! congrats on the tail!
Travis Scott eating KFC (tenders!) with a fork is apparently the last straw for me this week

yes! it’s funny because it’s the same as when we read doppelganger, suddenly seeing cult language and evil twins everywhere
PUMPED to see Ca7triel & Paco Amoroso featured here. I hope you've watched their Tiny Desk + short film(s) they made afterwards. Very Mess coded!
on it! 🫡
Omg I was just reminiscing about my brother/cousins’ 90s rat tails this week!
tell them it’s time to run it back!
