Amazing writer and an extremely well-informed individual about the world around him. This deserves more views!

You obviously have no idea who Hilton Als is. Super intelligent and evolved dude. At another level.

[@skincarecataloger]

They are so relaxed together. Nice interview.

[@WilliamBati]

Evidence of a true friendship and a sincere bond. Notice how Junot kisses him on the cheek after Hilton introduces him. Affection and respect.

What he says at the end is fundamentally important and profound.
