Hey, gang! I’m putting out a call for cute or funny cat pictures + short anecdotes. A friend of a friend is going through some INSANELY grim in family times and wants a distraction. (Also: please don’t worry about me. It really is a friend of a friend.)

I feel like if people are unable to solve the mystery of “why am I getting paid six figures per YouTube video” then they may not be equipped to provide useful analysis on more complex political and cultural issues.
