I assume quince like the fruit. Why would it be anything else?
Anyways, Quince Mountain is the name of the first openly trans person to a) appear on Naked and Afraid and b) race in the Iditarod. He was trending on Twitter due to a dead dog (well, his dog was), so I looked him up. Never watched Naked and Afraid, so I canât tell you what that is like.
I canât decide if I think the name is awesome or stupid. I assume this name was chosen and does not match Quinceâs birth certificate. I guess it probably depends on the story behind it, but I canât help but feel that if I wrote a novel with a protagonist named Quince Mountain, I would be laughed at for picking that name. It might work for a comic book character, though.
Some reading if you are interested in Mountainâs life:
The entire Conway thing is the quintessential example of awful American culture. Anyone paying attention is ghoulish.

Maybe he meant Kellyanne (or George lol).
This should be deleted.

Itâs wild timing that America is having a kind of reckoning with the way Britney Spears was treated and also weâre now set to run Claudia Conway through the same wringer.

Does your average American Idol watcher even know who the Conways are? I donât even know what the draw is supposed to be. I guess diehard MAGA chuds will tune in to cheer?
Itâs gotta be somewhere around 98% of Americans (maybe even higher) have no idea who she is or who her mom and dad are. And even those 2% that know, there has to be an incredibly small portion that actually care. Itâs a really weird thing to promote, imo.
Millie bobby brown (stranger things/godzilla) is currently undergoing the hyper-sexualized 16-18 year old treatment that western media gives these young pretty girls.
As a big fan of hers, I donât worry as much for MBB because she doesnât live in the states and she seems to have a really, really good head on her shoulders. But some of the stuff that clearly sexualizes her is very disturbing to me. I donât entirely understand why it even exists - is there just a huge % of the population that likes fantasizing about extremely young girls or is this part of the capitalistic patriarchy marketing to other young girls to get them to feel shitty about themselves and buy products? I honestly donât fucking know, it seems like too complex of an issue for me.

As someone who laughed at this I didnât read it as a desire to see the hypothetical tape but as satire of American culture.

This is the Maya radio station that we heard on the trip. I guess itâs Maya and Spanish.
Serious rave party going on in Kamchatka right now.
