Itβs so triggering to read this social post on RedNote/Xiaohongshu - there were already 678k active Australian users on the app last year, way before this refugee trend. Itβs almost twice than SMHβs daily readership for their print version at the same time.

When all those tech bros sit up front in the Inauguration on Monday, I am going to be thinking about how the USA had to ban TikTok because none of these geniuses could replicate the Chinese algorithm which social media users prefer.

Neil Gaiman and the political economy of rape - Overland literary journal
The interactions between Gaiman, Palmer, Pavlovich, and the coupleβs young child are all outlined in Shapiroβs article. There is, though, another figure in the narrative whom the article does not name...
"Auckland is not just the place where these things happen to have occurred: this is _a story about Auckland_."
We interrupt our summer break to bring you this important piece by Emmy Rakete on Neil Gaiman and the political economy of rape.

So if youβre following along here: Civility dictates the hierarchy which describes who is socially pressed to take on discomfort, and abusers manipulate this by purposefully and explicitly using that hierarchy.

My neighbor told me her ex keeps destroying vulnerable girls so I asked how many girls she has and she said she just goes to the drama club and gets a new girl afterwards so I said it sounds like sheβs just feeding sheltered girls to her ex and then she paid me in pizza and hugs.

There Is No Safe Word
How the best-selling fantasy author Neil Gaiman hid the darkest parts of himself for decades.
An incredibly well-researched piece on the horrors of Neil Gaiman. It is extremely upsetting and explicit. Please be careful reading it.
