Babs Relata left her job as a lifestyle editor after realizing she spent more time drinking iced coffee than writing. She joined The Mocking Post to write about modern love, career confusion, and the unique pain of pretending to care on Zoom. Her essays are laced with existential dread and punchlines you might cry to.

She clashes frequently with Connor Descend, whose advice she refers to as “gaslight in graph form.” Her emotional support editor is Dr. Sabrina Doctrine. Babs spends her weekends looking at recycled LinkedIn posts from those who want to be an influencers without talent. She drinks boxed red wine “ironically” and lives for the emotional depth of boxed mac and cheese. She said it keeps her fridge clean from organic stuff that rots.

What she loves most about The Mocking Post is that it’s the only job that makes her willingly get up 3 hours before work and excited to see everyone. Well, almost everyone.
