People We Love

It's always so good to know the folks doing the work you're doing.

I called Amy up a few weeks ago to ask her about getting in the right headspace for writing Action, wearing false lashes, and watching Rookie take over the Internet.

I called up the show's hosts, Tracy V. Wilson and Holly Frey, to talk history, representation, and RuPaul.

"Food isn't the enemy –– calling it the enemy is the enemy."

On the interview room’s cozy couch, Ellie (AKA Elliphant) sounded off on the absurdity of American gender roles, how humans are like giraffes, and her past life as a dude resembling Mowgli from The Jungle Book. No, really.

You should know that she is a really awesome human.

I want everybody to know who Phyllis Chesler is. I want everyone to read her books, to be made uneasy by her tenacity, to be counseled by her warm, deep voice over the phone.

We talked about everything from gender to spirituality to Lord of the Rings. So all the important stuff.
