Q-Anon makes perfect sense! Perhaps the abyss is staring back at you because your outfit looks extra nice today!

Alexandra Petri has auditioned for <em>America’s Next Top Model</em>. Afraid of looking like an idiot? Alexandra Petri lost<em>Jeopardy!</em> by answering “Who is that dude?” on national TV. Afraid of bad jokes? Alexandra Petri won an international pun championship.Petri has been a debutante, reenacted the Civil War, and fended off suitors at a <em>Star Wars</em>convention while wearing a Jabba the Hutt suit. One time, she let some cult members she met on the street baptize her, just to be polite. She’s a connoisseur of the kind of awkwardness that most people spend whole lifetimes trying to avoid. If John Hodgman and Amy Sedaris had a baby…they would never let Petri babysit it.But Petri is here to tell you: Everything you fear is not so bad. Trust her. She’s tried it. And in the course of her misadventures, she’s learned that there are worse things out there than awkwardness—and that interesting things start to happen when you stop caring what people think.</span>]]></description>
