I\u2019m glad, especially as you watch the great white male woke freak-out meltdown that\u2019s happening right now, I\u2019m glad that it\u2019s good to come from below.\u201d\n\nThanks to MailChimp, Squarespace, and Home Chef for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\nShow Notes:\n@jiatolentino\njiatolentino.tumblr.com\nTolentino on Longform\n[08:00] "A Chat with Malcolm Brenner, Man Famous for Having Sex with a Dolphin" (Jezebel \u2022 Feb 2015)\n[08:00] Wet Goddess (Malcolm J.
