Folks constantly tell me how much they miss Bitch Media, but it was so damn hard to keep alive. I want better for The Flytrap and all indie media.

So, if you want a explicitly feminist publication not beholden to algorithms, please (re)subscribe to @theflytrapmedia.com.

It's infuriating and 3rd-party embarrassing.

A few folks I thought were cool have not yet realized they've been ghosted. They're welcome to ask why

Got me crying at work and sending to all the homies

Was putting my face on and missed a call from my dad. Saw this text and called him back. (This is a nice story. Also his name is not Bob. That’s what the grandkids call him. Long and unrelated story.)

It's your father, otherwise known as Bob, give me a call. I got some little news for you. Love you

Shaemus 🏳️‍🌈 @itsshaemus.ca · 1d

I could never speak for him, being a stranger on the internet. I can't promise it would have been easy at first

But taking a look at you, at what is important to you, at how hard you're working and how open you are with us here on the internet? It's safe to say he'd be proud as heck

All the best ♥️

And for what it's worth I believe you are succeeding in this

Ultimately the kid's decisions will be his own, and he'll make mistakes, but you're doing your best and providing the right kind of support and information from where you stand - no small feat!

Everyone else, much like when I realized I was ND: "Well, Duh."

Brutal conversation to be a part of. You show thoughtfulness and compassion with hard truths

2c here is that I don't know the health of local malls, but malls as a whole are in regress.

That said, if it's attached or across the street from a hotel, your out-of-town for traffic jumps dramatically

Much support.

Meanwhile cargo and tactical kilts are a magnificent way to non-pants bottoms.

One of the fun things about ADHD is that I completely forget things that I know down to my bones.

Such as: Twitch chat is not a place to express a nuanced, media-literate, critical view of any videogame

So the less alarmist news outlets are quoting 14,000 jobs being cut.

And 40 billion being sunk into AI data centers (that will impoverish and pollute beyond comprehension only to inevitably fail)

That money would pay a living wage to all those 14,000 staff for **40 years**
