On Writing on the Internet and Using Humor to Go Deeper with R. Eric Thomas | Selfie Podcast Episode 133

Kristen talks about staying nice in the midst of a book launch. We chat with R. Eric Thomas about the weird world of writing on the internet, and finding the balance between writing about humor and pop culture and also writing about social justice issues. This episode was recorded a few weeks ago, and as we discussed how we've tried to engage people on issues of racial justice, little did we know it would soon be a national conversation. BJ gives us advice on living in authenticity, and Claire talks about what to do if your cloth face covering is making you break out. In this episode we talk about: * Here For It: How to Save Your Soul in America, * Rage Against the Minivan * Fitbit Flex 2 * Minted Art at Target * Katie Craig * Milk Makeup Kush Lip Balm Green Dragon * Mudhouse Sabbath by Lauren Winner Hero Cosmetics has an incredible product called the Mighty Patch, a hydrocolloid patch that extracts impurities.
