Thought Mapping, Daily....Blowing Up Big For All The Right Reasons

I am an old guy.

So old that I remember the days that I could find out about cool new bands that none of my friends knew about yet just by hanging around, say, Quintessence Records.

Then, if and when said bands blew up big I could brag about how I knew about them then.

And now, weirdly, I'm getting the same feeling by watching some of the very sharp (and most often young) folks I've noticed on the interwebz blow up big for all the right reasons.

Jen Gunter is one such sharp (and not so young) interwebz personage that the mainstream media is now paying big attention to:

There are a lot of things Dr. Jen Gunter would like you to know. For starters, most supplements are a waste of money. CBD is a scam. Underwire bras do not cause cancer. You actually can get an IUD if you’ve never been pregnant. Your vagina, under no circumstances, should smell like a pina colada. And, for the love of yoni, please don’t shove a jade egg up there.

The 53-year-old Winnipeg-born ob-gyn will tell you this with the conviction that comes from 24 years of clinical experience and the sass of your saltiest girlfriend. (There will be f-bombs.) And she’ll tell you this anywhere and everywhere—on Twitter and Facebook and Instagram, on her blog, in her monthly columns in the New York Times, in her upcoming book, The Vagina Bible, or her upcoming web series, Jensplaining, or, if you’re lucky, in person. Her vagenda (her portmanteau, not mine): to call BS on every single falsehood we’ve ever been sold about our bodies and to empower women with the straight facts about reproductive health, from the complexities of vulvar pain to basic female anatomy. (To that end, she recently built a 3-D model of the clitoris out of her kids’ modelling clay, complete with a toilet-paper-tube vagina and a urethra fashioned from a McDonald’s straw.)...


And the great thing about this?

Unlike bands who go from up-close-and-personal clubs to far away arenas, the best of the internet denizens stay as accessible as they ever were.

See.

The modern world is not all bad.
