Description
You've been lol-ing to her memes on IG since 2016. Emmers, Hoegivesnofucks, started a podcast! Hi there, I'm Emily! In 2016 I realized that only men were allowed to make jokes about one night stands and the "hoe life", so I took to Instagram to start a meme page and well here we are. I'm a triple threat in the fact that I suffer from anxiety, depression, and bipolar 2 disorder, but hey... what doesn't kill you makes the memes funnier, am I right? Follow along as I tell stories and interview some of my favorite people in my life to see what they had to stop faking to get to wear they are.
