Social media memes mock pick-me girls with lines like “‘I’ll have pizza, not like my friends who only eat salad,’ and ‘I like baking cookies. “Having people throw it on TikTok as a meme makes the situation that much worse, for girls being accused of being pick-me girls,” she said. “If you do like sports or sitting around with the guys and drinking beer, it puts you in this double bind where being yourself makes you a pick-me girl,” she said.

SilverSan FranciscoTo the Editor:The smoke that is making the air so hazardous originated from wildfires exacerbated by climate change. A little less than a year ago, in June 2022, the Roberts Supreme Court gutted the Clean Air Act. Think about that decision as we are told to wear high-quality masks outside and not to exercise too strenuously, and see our familiar landscapes enshrouded in a thick yellow haze. To the Editor:“What the hell is this?” Mayor Eric Adams of New York asked on Wednesday. It’s called climate change, and those of us in the West have been suffering variants of this smoky, drought-induced nightmare for many years.
