She’s no longer with us but I will never cease recommending the Civil War/postwar novels of Paulette Jiles; Enemy Women, The Color of Lightning, News of the World, Simon the Fiddler, and Chenneville.

I can't laugh at dumb conspiracy theories anymore because "the entire apparatus of the federal government, including the military, is subordinate to the aim of protecting a rotting pedophile from facing consequences" is plainly, obviously true

Our favorite fancy place _only_ has high-top tables for parties of 2 _unless_ the weather is nice enough to eat outside, or you come in without a reservation and get one of four bar seats. It's the one knock I have on the place

You know if we're looking for media examples of non-toxic, emotionally open masculinity

the PILOT episode of Scrubs (2001) ends with one man revealing to another that, despite his bluster to the contrary, he IS terrified of the weight of their job. Then he says "I love you," sincerely.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Clayton Kershaw doesn't spread his wealth of knowledge; he just waits for it to trickle down.
