*Subscribe to the STARGIRL Patreon!* This May marks two years of STARGIRL! As a birthday gift from me to you, I’m unlocking the most recent episode of The Body Series, my conversation with Tao Lin. I decided it was so important that everyone needed to hear it! Subscribe to the whole series at Patreon.com/STARGIRLpod.  Tao and I talk about how we live our lives—our exercise and caffeine routines, experiences with pharmaceutical vs. naturally-occurring drugs, seeking magic, conceptions of the afterlife, the healing powers of beef, and much more. We also chat about Tao’s next book, on the environmental factors causing autism, and why it’s scary to submit ideas to a public who’s ready to tear you down. Follow Tao on Twitter! Discussed: Trip: Psychedelics, Alienation, and Change Tao’s book (2018) “The Story of Autism: How We Got Here, How We Heal” Tao’s essay Life After Life, Raymond Moody (1975)
