Someone just DM'd me 'Have you been on Heather Havrilesky for a while now?? I feel like everything I read from her is like, “this is the best thing I’ve ever read". I feel like you mentioned her a long time ago' and I got to say "YEAH HOMIE BEEN READING HER SINCE THE FUCKIN 90s" so thanks for giving me that Dubai taco feeling of being a real culture connoisseur.

Shit! How do I change my vote from Fuck AI to Jesus you're hot, then to Take the money but back again to Fuck AI?

That's how I feel.

“You speak without hesitation, you slay, you ate, period, no notes, no cap, no crumbs.” Best sentence ever. The “no cap” sealed it. 😂

The funny part is that I've been to Dubai several times and there actually is a restaurant called 'Bara B' serving a dish called Dubai Tacos! I didn't have them, but I recall wanting to order them as I was reading the menu. By the way, instead of chickpeas they had beans and... I am joking ❤️

That was my 2025 joke, also coming from my renewed excellent gut ✨ I think I love you!

"The sober microchip" really spoke to me thank you for that, and excellence IS all vibes you're so right. Pain is a reminder of being alive and that things can feel good etc etc I hope your good vibes keep vibing and the pain keeps purifying

Returned to work down here in Australia this week after a three week break down at the beach. Filled with so much existential dread. Your Ask Polly and Ask Molly columns are helping me survive the week. You are amazing, thank you!
