Watch this to the end, you won’t regret it. This is what happens when you’re at happy hour and are reminded you agreed to do an interview about your race.

[ivy 🫧 @theIesbianqueen]

I regret to inform everyone that “created theranos as a trauma response” is going directly into the lexicon

[Cassandra 🎬🧜🏻‍♀️ @TheMovieMermaid]
