Welcome to the Double X-Gab Fest for Thursday, May 14th, the Selfish in Thailand

edition.

I'm Hannah Rosen, a writer for Slate in the Atlantic, and I'm joined in the New York

studios by June Thomas, editor of Outward, Slate's LGBTQ blog, and back from the UK. Hi, June. Hey, Hannah. We missed you. Oh, thank you. You didn't miss us. I didn't say I didn't miss you, but, well, I didn't say I did either, did I?

And Noreen Malone of New York Magazine. Hi, Noreen. Hi, how are you?

Good. Thanks to all our listeners who gave us examples of awesome and not such self-absorbed Instagrams that we should look at.

They have been collected on our Facebook page, Double X Gab Fest, so check them out and add some of your own.

Thank you.
