  • Queen Camilla Has Interests Because Of Generational Trauma, Not Because She’s A Person
    Fail it up, friends. It’s Friday.  This week:
    • The secret to not binge eating is just not thinking about food, or planning meals 
    • Camilla can only be interested in domestic violence because of a MAJOR SCOOP from 100 years ago, not because of a reason she’s literally discussed in public
    • Kate Moss vapes, is a health goddess. But is also older than she used to be :( 
    If you need help with disordered eating, you can find real, great resources from NEDA.  If you need help navigating domestic violence, you can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233, or by texting SMART to 88788. If you missed our appearance on WBEZ’s Nerdette last week, you can still listen wherever you pod!  Find us on Twitter @kristenmeinzer and @maurafcurrie, or Instagram @k10meinzer and @maura_frances, to share your feelings on these daily fails — we know you have them.
