This is, quite possibly, the most entertaining interview i have ever encountered.

Please, please create it through Canada so funds are in CAD.
I'm so fed up of loosing exchange rate when donating because of USD.

@masukomi
HA HA HA! She's so funny! Especially about the ice cream!

[briesenb@mas.to]

@masukomi thank you for the excellent recommendation. 10/10 entertained here

[rothko@beige.party]

@masukomi omg she sounds like me... except motivated.

[croyle@wandering.shop]

@masukomi That was good fun! Love her sense of humor and down-to-earth perspective.

[cyrilbrulebois@mamot.fr]

@masukomi @zhenech Lots of great questions/answers, but my favorite might be the simplest, “Why did you do this? ”… Thanks for sharing!

[deadduck@zeroes.ca]

@masukomi @agturcz Nope, just Facebook and Instagram. I won’t be following her future exploits.

[diazona@techhub.social]

@masukomi wow you weren't kidding, I love it

[brohrer@recsys.social]

@masukomi @dan
It did not disappoint

[rob_t_firefly@masto.hackers.town]

@masukomi I don't generally like sports or sports interviews, but this one is indeed fantastic and may be my favorite one ever.

[sublimeoverload@mastodon.social]

@masukomi Read it outloud to my partner, was pretty funny.

[bouncinglime@spanner.works]

@masukomi beautiful amazing gross just zero fucks given but also "I think a lot of it was spite" ::chef's kiss::

> Her open-water experience, she wrote, has been limited mostly to some cold plunges and crossing Kalamalka Lake in the Okanagan "where I spent a frankly unreasonable amount of time floating on my back in the sunshine and singing to myself."

this sounds like the ideal life???

[ljwrites@writeout.ink]

@masukomi Here's to hoping she's even funnier after she does the Channel crossing!

[twynn@mas.to]

@masukomi Thanks for sharing. I wonder why they chose to leave some questions/responses out from the article, e.g., the ginger tea bit of the phone interview?

[salty@mastodon.nz]

@CyrilBrulebois @masukomi @zhenech Melanie is all of us

[wobweger@mstdn.social]

@masukomi
merci for the pointer

[hollie@social.coop]

@masukomi She is hilarious!

[owlor@meow.social]

@masukomi Just looking at that smile I knew the interview was gonna be good and it was. It sounds like she lost her filter during the swim.

[aperture@snug.moe]
