Befuddled flat earthers, a googly-eyed vandal & a cursed MrBeast? 👀🍿🧃
Hi Wrecklings!
Hope y’all are having a safe and happy holiday season!
This week has me watching the Glitter & Greed: The Lisa Frank Story documentary. Can personally confirm that their team is still morally garbage— I gave them the idea of partnering with Crocs back in 2020 and I didn’t get so much as a “thank you”. Her team didn’t even know Crocs did partnerships until I showed them… now that’s one of Crocs’ best-selling collab.
