@seaw thank god!!
(to VERY broadly summarize her argument: despite lots and lots of looking, nobody can really find much of consequence)
if anyone's curious, the book in question was "Sex itself: the search for male and female in the human genome," by Sarah Richardson
it makes me feel very happy and purposeful when I send out interlibrary loans having to do with the socially constructed nature of biological sex
arming people against TERFs is a little-known value of librarians! ^_^
mmk so Mondo Grosso is the artist. I haven't the faintest idea what the Japanese means... maybe somebody else does?
I seriously need to get my work done but I can't stop reading that Younique testimonial blog
X_X
this song/video are so beautiful... I don't speak Japanese so I haven't the faintest idea which part of the title is the artist and which part is the song
"MONDO GROSSO / ラビリンス"
"How To Help Someone In An MLM"
(MLM = "multi-level marketing", basically a legal pyramid scheme, e.g. Younique, LuLaRoe, Herbalife, etc.)

omggg I had to stop binge reading this blog for a moment to share it with you all
it's by a former Younique presenter, and she details the horrible experience of being manipulated by other women. I can't stop reading.
even if you don't read the blog, if you know a woman who is involved with Younique or another MLM/pyramid scheme, REACH OUT TO THEM.
I don't remember how I came across this Japanese 80s mixtape but I'm so glad I did
please, if any women you love or otherwise care about are involved with this company, reach out to them. They are being taken advantage of. It is a pyramid scheme that targets struggling women, particularly new mothers, who have little to no makeup experience and a desperate need for extra money.
I feel so awful for the women that have been tricked into selling Younique cosmetics :( the products are worse than drugstore quality, and the pyramid scheme system causes ALL of them to lose money.
But they have all this garbage makeup they paid for, so they have to take horrible cringey selfie after horrible cringey selfie and alienate everyone they know just to stay afloat
case in point:

"Home, is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home, she lifted up her wings
I guess that this must be the place"
PURE POETRY
this is the good version.... if you don't know it already, you're welcome.
omg they did "This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody"!!!!! my favorite Talking Heads song EVER
everybody has a touched-up hairdo, everybody's in the passing lane
omfg this video of David Byrne and St. Vincent performing "I Should Watch TV" live just made me lose my mind
