He doesn't mean what he's saying. You don't understand him. He comes from a different time.

He means exactly what he's saying. I understand him perfectly. He controls my world. He has always controlled my world. And yours.

Everyone is already steeped in the Fascist playbook. Step by step and value by value. It's every religion's view of women applied to everyone else.

What would it sound like if a woman didn’t give a shit about what anyone thought of her and just went about the business of not trying to impress or win anyone to her side?

A sweet message I found today in "notes from subscribers."

NEW STACK: A MOMENT FOR NOT DEATH
The other night, I was awakened in the middle of sleep. A hot rash had bloomed on my arms and was snaking around other parts of my body. I turned on the light in the bathroom. It was a moment from The Exorcist. lauriestone.substack.com/p/a-moment-of-not-death

What happens when you watch a lot of streaming shows about spies and snipers.

I remembered lying in the grass here with Bruce. I’m seventeen, and we’d started having sex, and the park is sex, and my life is about to begin,

This place isn't for me . . . just posting billboards. Probably useless. xxL

New stack post. Still warm from the oven.

It’s snowing, and my mistakes are beautiful, no two alike. When I was a kid they called it snow, the nothing on TV that vibrated. I was talking with a friend who is 53, and I realized that when I was 53 I would not have allowed myself to imagine the mind of a person who was 78.
