Pet Peeves: Men. Not all men, but I can’t stand the masculinity and tears of man; none of this drives me crazy. [In grad school] I treat a LOT of masculine energy that knows everything, and it’s a lot. When I went out with men, I once broke up with a guy because we were traveling to Budapest and he pronounced it “Budah-pesht” to prove he was smart and worldly, and it was the biggest detour. I broke up with him literally 30 minutes after returning from the trip.
What accomplishment are you most proud of? In February 2019 they appeared to me in an episode of the Radiolab podcast (episode “Asking for a Friend”). I was so proud of it for several reasons. One, I absolutely love this podcast and it was really great to be a part of it. Two, I felt like I was able to incorporate a lot of myself into the interview. Scientists usually try to keep things very clinical and sterile. This is not my attitude. We talked about Neanderthals, but in the discussion I also raised the fact that we always seem to imagine Neanderthals as males when they were also females. The reporter said, “Oh, maybe I should imagine meeting a Neanderthal woman at a bar.” Naturally, I replied, “Well, that’s my kind of story.” He ran with her and had a whole part of the episode about queer species romance, which is literally my dream come true.
What would we never know when we look at you? Usually people are surprised that 23 years went by so straight. I take off the atmosphere of someone super confident in my stupor (who I am now), but it wasn’t always like that. I like to be strong and proud of this so that people know that it’s okay to take longer to get to know yourself. People who know me often also get very surprised when I say I’m 5’2. ”People are always surprised that I’m short. I have a great personality that takes up more than 62 inches of space.
Who is your hero and why? My hero is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She is such a bad woman and resists so much hatred, sexism, racism, age and somehow never gives up or gives up. I admire both the way he defends ordinary people and against the huge opposition of powerful forces with just his voice. , passion and beliefs. I really cried when I saw her speech after a Republican congressman called her a bitch. She was there in Congress, so prepared and dignified, though she was so clearly channeling an intense burning passion against abusive men and women everywhere who have to deal with that BS. She said: “Having daughters is not what makes someone a decent man. Treating people with dignity and respect is what makes them a decent man.” This is so cert i clear and it makes me feel seen by a politician for the first time.
Which past survivor will you play the game the most? I think the strategy that would work well for me would be to stay close to the center of power, but never directly perceived as the one making the calls. For example, Todd in early China put Aaron as the leader of his tribe, but he knew he could control him. I also think there is Natalie Sant Joan De Sud crushed that. She was Jeremy’s number two at first, so he was the one who was cut while staying. He then pretended to leave Jon Misch et al. be in charge. Ultimately, he hit at the right time and was able to pull it off and win. I think he would be the kind of player he would want to be; he would like to look nice and as if he was not playing with an intense strategy, but to be by the side of the striker so that he can take the reins at the right time. This plan can explode if you’re too in love with the front-man (Stephen with JT or any player other than Kim A world). You need to know when you will betray them.
Why do you think you can win? They survive? I really think I have the right combination of skills to win the game. I am extremely smart and strategic, I know the game very well and I will be constantly thinking about how to put myself in the best position to win. But I’m also so silly and silly, physically small and clumsy that I think people will really underestimate me and not address me. I have a contagious smile and personality that will help me establish great bonds with people. I’m super open and vulnerable to people, so I think people feel close to me, tell me information, and want to work with me. I think people will have warm feelings for me at the end of the match, even if I vote for them. I’m a reader of people’s vibrations and I’m very sensitive to people’s energy changes, so I think I’ll be able to find out if people are lying to me or planning to betray me. While I’m very empathetic with people, I can also have a wall and always put my closest people above anyone else, and I know I’ll be able to betray someone to win the game. I am also relentlessly optimistic and will never give up or count.
