This is SOOOO important and spot on! I was a teen in the age of Kate Moss, skinny is everything culture... it led me to be bulimic at the age of 10. I just happily turned 43 and it disgusts me the same toxic diet culture is the same toxic beauty culture! We deserve to live! We can't be lifeless. Thanks for always shining a light Jess!

I'd be very curious to hear your thoughts on this: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2022/05/femcel-meaning-female-incel-reddit/629836/

As someone who definitely would have IDed as a femcel in high school, and thinking more about how appearance seems inescapable.

Welp, Jess, I wrote next week's post last week as I'd be traveling, and it's also about Generation Ageless. I love your take on this, of course, though I've looked at it from a different angle—a gentler one, which makes me very glad you're out there waving the scythe. xo
