Super Salt
I’m not one to give cooking tips or food secrets, but this is the best salt to ever exist! I know this is true because my old coworker, who had a fancy taste, loved this salt. It makes every food taste 100% better, even on eggs.

My Roommate Johana Made me Chicken
My roommate made me chicken and asparagus. It was very good she’s a great cook. Instead of the super salt, she used Montreal Salt. It’s quite interesting how many different types of salt exist.
My ENT
I saw a new ent, and she was super nice. She also said I dont need surgery for my deviated septum. I’ve only had wisdom teeth surgery, but it was awful! So good news!
Zachs Christmas cookies
My beautiful friend Zachfanaccount gave me the most beautiful Christmas gift! He made the cookies! Look how beautifully arranged it is. Thank you, Zach!
Ian’s gift
He got me my favorite chocolate. I love almonds in Hershey.
Advice Column
Dear Meg Memes,
Someone I think has really bad taste told me my hair looks good tonight. That makes me think my hair looks bad. How should I feel about that?
-Sexy Maybe? Who Knows
Dear Sexy Maybe? Who Knows,
Sometimes doing the advice column is really hard when I Know who sent it and what they look like. Your hair is beautiful I tell you that every time I see you. I’ll let ChatGPT take this one.
“It's important to remember that everyone has different tastes and opinions. Just because someone you believe has "bad taste" complimented your hair doesn't necessarily mean your hair looks bad. People's preferences vary; what one person likes, another may not.
Instead of letting one person's opinion influence your feelings about your appearance, focus on how you feel about your hair. If you like how it looks and feel confident, that matters most. Ultimately, your self-perception is more important than the opinions of others, especially those whose tastes may not align with your own.
It's natural to seek validation, but it's essential to build self-confidence based on your own opinions and feelings rather than relying solely on external validation.”
Love,
Meg
Why do gay people like Gypsy Rose
I’ve seen a bunch of memes and tweets about gay people liking Gypsy Rose
So I asked two gay people and two straight people their thoughts on Gypsy Rose.
My straight friend Carol M said I love her good for her. I’m glad she’s out. You should be allowed to kill people if there’s a good reason. I think she deserves some privacy, but I like the memes. I just don’t want her to get overwhelmed.
My straight roommate Johana said I think people should leave her alone. She’s a victim, But I think people should leave her alone. Keep the drug of fame away from Gypsy Rose.
My gay friend Zachfanaccount said I don’t think much of her. I never watched anything. I think people are crazy on the internet. I love DND
My gay friend Haley had a lot to say!
Me: What do you think about Gypsy Rose?
Haley: I want to take her to the cluuuuuubbbbbb.
Me: Why? Why do gay ppl like her so much?
Haley: bc her story is NUTS lol also you should
Me: Do you want her celebrated? Do you like the memes about her?
Haley Webster: Idk i just think it’s funny lol
Me: Interesting
Haley: Like you can’t tell me this isn’t funny.
Me: That one was funny, tbh but calling her mother is crazy
Haley: I mean, she kind of is mother for escaping her own mother who literally tortured her and made her deathly ill for half her life. LOL
I didn’t know what to say after that.
DEBUNKED being straight or gay has nothing to do with liking Gypsy rose

Super Club Q and A
I saw the awesome comedy show Super Club at Lincoln Lodge a few weeks ago! It was so funny! I got a chance to interview the hosts, Clare and Lou.
How you guys come up with the idea?
Clare: Lou used to run a show called Workin’ on It with our blond friend Parker Uber. When Parker moved to NY, Lou asked me if I’d like to take over as co-host and make a new show together. We just felt like society could use a new club. Not like a book club or a night club, but something really cool.
Lou: I remember I called Clare about doing the show when I was in Florida and she said “I was wondering If you were gonna ask me about that” and I got real excited. We’ve thrown shit at the fan for a while and made a show where we can kinda do whatever we want.
How did it feel when you guys completely sold out your first show?
Clare: It felt great. I realized the next day we had accidentally oversold about 15 tickets because the ticket link was wrong. It was really really nice to see so many people come out and support.
Lou: It was epic beast mode, I had to start 3d printing chairs in the back and that was nice skill to pick up on the side.
Whats your guys creative process for making the videos?
Clare: For a lot of videos we make, we’ll read our ideas to each other first, chat about them, and then go on and make it. I always feel funnier around Lou and he always inspires me to make something better. In that way he’s like a crutch and I’m hoping to drop him from my circle.
Lou: I second Clare’s motion and i’ll also say, It often feels like either one of us is very close with an idea and then we’ll riff about it together and when we start cracking up we probably found something thats good that will add alot to one anothers video.
What do you guys see?
Clare: I see two elephants standing facing each other kissing. They’re young elephants so it’s innocent and they might be twins.
Lou: I see a baddass boar looking at me straight on, type of fucker that belongs on the back of a biker jacket. Yeah, I bet the jacket would be all fucked up too, fuckin mud smears and blood on it. Real tough shit.
Can I be on it?
Clare: Send us a clip and Lou & I will examine it closely. If it passes our three-pronged obscenity test you’re booked.
Lou: The three-pronged obscenity test (or the Three-pronged O, for short) is the new industry standard and we’ll live and die by the industry. White collar classification/qualifications of “humor” are the only way to break free from the cancellification of big comedy.
Anything you want my readers to know?
Clare: I have a cold right now and I want to get the word out that phenylephrine is clinically ineffective as a decongestant. The FDA confirmed that this year. It’s no more effective than a placebo.
Lou: The Ying Yang Twins are on tour this year, so we do have to schedule the show around that. Apologies if our show ever lands on the same day as one of their shows. We understand where loyalties lie, and realize we will probably be performing to an empty room that day.
Lou, whos a better host Clare or parker?
Lou: You know, he’s our blond friend, and in alot of ways he’s the goat, ya know? As far as hosting goes, I would like to think in many ways parker is blond clare and clare is not blond parker.
How do you feel about Gypsy Rose?
Clare: I’m happy for her. I looked at her Instagram and she has some of the highest engagement I’ve ever seen. Almost 6 million likes on her first selfie, which is a 130%+ engagement rate. Unheard of.
Lou: Very happy for her to have gotten out. Excited for what’s next for her. With a name like Gypsy Rose, I’m sure she will have plenty of vaudeville opportunities and I’m very excited to see her in a talkie one day.
Check out their next show on January 5th. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/super-club-tickets-765749315817
Thoughts on Positivity with Ian
Positivity is hard when there are so many assholes out there, but I think it’s important to keep trying, or you’ll turn mean-spirited. You need to find the right person to be mean-spirited. You should be nice to people trying to be nice since positivity starts with you.
Wendys Chicken Wrap
Well, I lied. I have a complaint. The Wendy’s chicken wrap is the most mid chicken wrap I’ve ever had. It’s like they didn’t even try! They should replace the ranch with Caesar and also add something crunchy in it, like croutons.
