Well, there’s no way around it: the very first feature is about Black activism, written by a white author (Kim) who gets no help from her editor on how not to sound tone-deaf as she describes being judged by the color of her skin or feeling unwelcome in Black spaces.

Amy Turner — who checks in from the present day, because she’s Pam’s friend IRL — visits Antarctica. Everyone on staff shares their stress relief tips. Plus: foods that trigger headaches, Danielle from Niagara Falls quoting J.D. Salinger at Stuff You Wrote, Ian Ziering on dating girls his parents didn’t like, how atheism Happened to this month’s Me, and more! Draw a soothing bath and listen!
