A lot of racism today isn’t explicit slurs or violence, it’s coded, symbolic, or dressed up as “jokes” and “coincidences.” When people try to convince you something isn’t racist because it’s not obvious, that’s gaslighting.

blog #2 is live! this time, I wrote about anti-intellectualism and stan culture

like no kings is not really my scene for various reasons but i would feel pretty turned off participating if i’d spent the preceding 48 hours reading all this contradictory and very bossy advice from anonymous strangers 🤷‍♀️

i know most people mean well but it’s hard to maintain any kind of momentum or excitement in the face of all this hyper granular how-to-protest advice

Decentering men is important for men to do too. It frees you from so many shackles.

Still can’t do audiobooks

Tried recently, got so bored I had to stop

Will try again in 5 years—if books are still allowed then

This is me

Kara Swisher is the worst kind of hanger on. Look, if you’re going to chill with billionaires, be cool with the billionaire lifestyle

Don’t twerk on both sides of the fence

I don’t want constant breaking new and analysis from your doing embedded reporting of billionaires

I’m putting your name down as the inaugural guest

Brittany! 🤣

Death as consensus

Grief as common sense

The politicians who are usually at loggerheads are standing shoulder to shoulder to shoulder with the same facial expressions

Oh, this is a new hack, thank you!

a man in a suit and tie stands in a room Alt: The actor John Travolta standing aimless in a room and looking around as if whatever he was expecting to find in the room isn’t there. He’s wearing a black suit, cowboy tie, and carrying a long dark brown coat.on his left arm while simultaneously swinging his right arm across his body as if to say, “See, there is nothing here.” The entire scene is a clip from a movie

I just love cats and I’m endlessly impressed by their tiny little faces

🖤

This exceeds expectations, thank you

I love this 😂

I’m conducting an ethnography of my siblings 😂😂😂

Yes! That’s the idea. Show and image and read a script written to make you feel calm

That’s the entire idea!

😂

I’m trying to avoid being a Masc With Opinions 😂😂😂

So, if it’s talking or sharing info, I want each episode to be less than 10 minutes

I’ve also thought of a visual podcast where I film interesting to look at and the footage is only a minute long. For instance, a face

I’ve been thinking of something that could be very short, preferably only a minute long

And very sound based. Think: a sound, not necessarily intelligible or even lingual, that you could pause to listen to for a minute

So you could feel time dilate

Starting to feel like I’m Dilated Peoples and I can’t live my life this way

It hilarious

Now I have a clean kitchen. Perhaps I should do this more often

Should I torture you all by starting a podcast?

I GAGGED

Don’t threaten us with a good time, Big Mama

Big Men seem almost made to be mourned

Is this the definition of Death Drive?

Apparently my mind said: squeeze it now to see if it’s ready for when an actual fire breaks out

Like, what kind of thought process is that????

Had to wipe down all surfaces and wash everything that was out

Now, the floor

I ACCIDENTALLY SPRAYED FIRE EXTINGUISHER IN THE KITCHEN

POWDER WENT EVERYWHERE
