Surprise! Even Tradwives Like to Share Nudes, Talk About Sex, and Be Single
“I Grieved Through My Vagina,” Evie Magazine offered up recently. On OnlyFans, a “godly” poster. Key influencers explain tradwife tensions to Vanity Fair.

as we all know, i am deep in the tradwife space (for research purposes only) and for the last few months, i have been seeing the raunchiest stuff of my whole life emanating from it. so i decided to figure out why! www.vanityfair.com/style/story/...
Pie discourse online always reminds me of the Teaching Tolerance lesson where you divide up the class based on arbitrary characteristics and then they start discriminating against each other

the more you read about this stuff, the more that Foucault's point about the exaggeration of Victorian repression rings true. We want to imagine the past as being more prudish than it really is because it makes us feel more free than we really are

When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

In her resignation statement, MTG breaks very dramatically with the secret-plan conspiracy theorists about what’s happening in DC.

“Rentier class,” it’s a beautiful word, an old fashioned word but it’s beautiful, and they are a big problem I’ll tell you. Not good
TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?
We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

man, the *only* positive, relatable quality that trump has is that he has no object permanence, let alone the ability to remember the argument he was making 48 hours prior
Q: would you feel comfortable living in NYC under a Mamdani administration ?
TRUMP: I would. I really would.

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

Professors are not complaining so much about this because they care so much about honor. If students using AI were coming to class way more prepared rather than way less you wouldn’t hear from most of us

Reconciliation without reparation is one of supremacy's greatest sabotages of the act of repair. Whenever abuse is exposed, it offers free exoneration to the abuser at the expense of the abused, and calls it redemption. It's the traditional and popular response to abuse in our supremacist society.
Leaders of a Minnesota church community didn’t report a parishioner they knew had sexually abused girls for year.
They told his victims that once sins were “washed away in the blood of reconciliation,” they could never speak of them again.
Truly chilling, from @jlussenhop.bsky.social & Andy Mannix

Nothing more annoying that boomers who act theatrically annoyed when they see you walking while looking at your phone. A white guy just jumped into my path and then was like “watch it!” like I was a disgrace to humanity

Sarah Hurwitz is so close to getting it "Anything you try to say to [younger Jews], they are hearing it through this wall of carnage. So I want to give data and information and facts and arguments, and they are just seeing in their minds carnage, and I sound obscene."
I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

the first episode of American Revolution was great and I am excited for tonight's (when hopefully my family lore will come into it at the battle of concord and lex!) but it is a shame that I have trained myself to immediately fall asleep whenever I hear Peter Coyote's voice

Every time I hear about a new Gen Z drug trend it's like "boiling 17 seeds of datura and washing it down with an ethanol borg until I question the very existence of primal evil" and I just wonder if we need to hit the reset button on the definition of fun.

Deliriants like Benadryl can bring on terrifying hallucinations in high doses. Some Gen Z-ers are taking at least a dozen pills at a time—and challenging others to do the same.

MINDHUNTER, an incredible show about misogyny in all its forms!!!
watching that show while revisiting the early episodes of You're Wrong About are how i developed my "domestic violence theory of American history," and what you say here totally captures that

rewatching MIND HUNTER with someone who has never seen it before. the show's flaws are pretty obvious (especially in the first season) and it never was perfect but what i particularly admire is the show manages to simultaneously communicate a seeming paradox: serial killers are "special" losers.
