2 Teen Girls Died In a Hit-And-Run. Another Teen Faces Murder Charges.

This kind of misogyny and sense of entitlement starts early and the fact that no one involved did anything about the clear red flags is disturbing www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/n...

Please join me in congratulating Woman on her appointment

Winter Sleep (2014): The Domestic Horror Film that No One Called Horror Recently, I screened the Cannes Palme D’Or winning film Winter Sleep (2014).

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Eleanor Johnson, whose horror substack is terrific, has been writing about dv and I highly recommend her eloquence, pragmatism, wit, and courage.

a LARGE number of University of California unions and related organizations are rallying at the Board of Regents meeting on Tuesday. It's united opposition to capituation to Trump. Do join if you can! and please spread the word.

Trump sympathizes with the man accused of domestic violence.

Ivanka not Ivana.

Yes—typed too quickly. Thanks, Colleen.

Yes—it’s maximally creepy.

The Actual Conspiracy Theory Surrounding Trump and Epstein It’s not what you think it is.

Where are the voices of the girls Epstein and Trump abused? Kate Manne transcribed Katie Johnson’s (a pseudonym) account of how Trump allegedly raped her at Epstein’s home in 1994. She was 13 and wore a blonde wig that Trump allegedly said made her look like Ivana, who was 13yo at the time.

Proud to remain demoted to feminist theory/gender studies shelf

Monstrous. Noem failed to renew contracts and let hundreds of FEMA contractors be fired DURING the TX flood response, leaving thousands of victims unable to reach help. The acting head of FEMA has no disaster management experience and has been MIA since his appointment—all per NYT report

It is a crisis.

If you want to read deeply researched accounts of what happened to novels in the last fifty or so years, may I recommend Novel Competition: American Fiction and the Cultural Economy, 1965–1999 by Evan Brier uipress.uiowa.edu/books/novel-...

Trump throwing a military parade for himself despite never serving in the military is a metaphor for his entire existence.

Donald Trump is not protecting women by attacking our rights. That's why we're tracking all the way's that he's coming after women and families over the last 100+ days. Check out our report here: nwlc.org/press-releas...

I wrote this piece 2 years ago, much closer to the start of my transition, when my struggle for self-acceptance was more raw. I'm in a different place now, but writing this essay was an important step in getting here. Excited to share it just in time for Pride! 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ www.academia.edu/129873399/_G...
