Karly Jacklin

I'm a resident writer, cat mom, and obsessive online shopper who is passionate about quirky pet products, home decor, size-inclusive fashion, and, above all, perfumes.

Before BuzzFeed, I was an English teacher, test coordinator, barista, grocery store clerk, drive-thru presenter, and freelance culture writer with my most notable bylines appearing almost exclusively in Hey Alma.

I'm based in Tucson, Arizona, where I can be found writing, painting, enjoying the nightlife scene, and absolutely clearing out the local Urban Outfitters. I also run a Substack blog, badbang, that is by and for messy women (and the people who love us).
