I think a lot of people saw what they thought they saw in that video was that Lindy West had kind of...

settled for a relationship where she would always be second best to Roya.

This was how it was received online.

Not just on Substack.

There's an article in The Atlantic which simply says, I don't believe her when she says she's happy in this relationship.

I think Lindy would have answers to that.

I think she would point to sizeism because, as mentioned, Roya is a small woman and Lindy describes herself as fat.

And I think Lindy would also point to racism because Aham is a person of colour

And she has spoken about how she feels that a lot of the discussion around monogamy is inherently white-centric.

That's what Lindy would say in answer to the question of why are people so unable to believe her.

A narrative that she told herself in Shrill.

Chapel Rowan's in trouble again.

Poor Chapel.

Oh, I love Chapel.

But it may not be what it seems.

Let me tell you the story.

It all unfolded this weekend in São Paulo, Brazil.

Jorginho is a very famous soccer player.

He was born in Brazil.

He's played for Chelsea and Arsenal.
