Study the women’s sciences

Listen to Best Regards Episode 7 (Spotify | Apple)! Our closet podcast studios are getting hotter than hot girl summer. Hannah reviews Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bartender canned margaritas and serves you ice clinking ASMR. We discuss summer drinks and artificial fruit flavors and Kat shares her tale of skittle outrage. We wax philosophically about women’s sciences such as color season typology and female looksmaxxing phrenology (Vindicta, Splendida, witch skull vs angel skull), talk about the inherent selfishness of social anxiety, and come to the defense of basic bitches, normies, and Karens. Hannah reports on her recent discovery of Sabrina Carpenter and why people have been saying that’s that me espresso, and performs a dramatic reading of some of Ms. Carpenter’s expert lyrical stylings. We talk about men’s slutty little shorts, sexualization of young female starlets, Sydney Sweeney’s choice to embrace the dog pill, and the apparent shortage of talent in Hollywood as evidenced in The Hollywood Reporter’s ranking of the new Hollywood A-List stars. We take calls from two lovely listeners and answer their questions about how to move past and harness envy/jealousy for growth, and the propriety of being photographed without one’s knowledge in the workplace. We offer tips for finding an affordable and knowledgeable therapist and emphasize the importance of documentation of harassing events in your place of employment.

Never changing

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌

Rejecting the Commodification of the Self

I’ve been thinking about how much of social media is centered around curating our self-image. When selfies first became popular, they were dismissed as vain and vapid—a critique often rooted in misogyny—but now, the way we craft our online selves feels more like creating monuments. We try to signal our individuality, hoping to be seen and understood, but ironically, I think this widens the gap between how others perceive us and who we really are. Instead of fostering connection, it can invite projection and misinterpretation—preconceived notions, prefab labels, and stereotypes. Worse, individuality has become branded and commodified, reducing our identities to products for others to consume. On most platforms, validation often comes from how well you can curate and present your image—selfies, aesthetic branding, and lifestyle content tend to dominate. High engagement is tied to visibility, not necessarily depth or substance. But I think spaces like PI.FYI show that there’s another way: where connection is built on shared ideas, tastes, and interests rather than surface-level content. It’s refreshing to be part of a community that values thoughts over optics. By sharing so few images of myself, I’ve found that it gives others room to focus on my ideas and voice. When I do share an image, it feels intentional—something that contributes to the story I want to tell rather than defining it. Sharing less allows me to express who I am beyond appearance. For women, especially, sharing less can be a radical act in a world where the default is to objectify ourselves. It resists the pressure to center appearance, focusing instead on what truly matters: our thoughts, voices, and authenticity. I’ve posted a handful of pictures of myself in 2,500 posts because I care more about showing who I am than how I look. In trying to be seen, are we making it harder for others to truly know us? It’s a question worth considering.
