It’s Black History Month and we have decided to celebrate by doing some critical self-reflection about our performative activism surrounding the Black Lives Matter movement last summer. Since then, we have put in the work to further educate ourselves about the white supremacist society that we were raised in, how it affects us presently, and what we can do better to combat it. We discuss our own faults, and pledge to be more conscious beings who are radically honest with ourselves about our privileges and shortcomings. We are always learning and growing, and open to critique.

Future Divorcée Sarah Schauer is here to spill their truth. Sarah takes us back to their Christian upbringing and how they didn’t even know being gay was an option, despite their obsession with the movie Stick It and being a Rose & Rosie stan. After a stint in a sorority, Sarah has discovered who they really are: a gay TikTok icon and non-binary legend. Never afraid to tell their truth, Sarah lets us in on their recently ended long-distance relationship, masturbation injury, and TikTok scandals.

Runway Diva Coach Extraordinaire Miss J. is here to tell us what she really thinks about America’s Next Top Model. In hindsight, the show was as iconic as it was problematic. So we are excited to have our questions answered by one of the most fabulous members of the cast. We talk about about how she grew up in the toxic modeling industry, how that very industry informed the show, and how the business is changing today. Never in our lives have we yelled at a girl like this!

Saddle Ranch insider Ian Ugly is here to roast every TikTokker on the internet and we are all ears. A baddie with many questionable interests, we finally get to know the man behind the meme. Ranging from defaming popular internet celebs to trolling The Hollywood Fix, Ian is always up for a superspreader event. We then quickly remember to touch on his relationship with a ...man. Thanks for supporting the LGBT, girl!
