VOLITION - No. Not a disaster. Weave this into the story of you. Walk out of its *ruins*. Save those who still can be saved -- *I'm* on your side.

Might I recommend INFIDEL by @pornsak.bsky.social, @aaroncampbellarts.com, @josevillarrubia.bsky.social, and Jeff Powell, which is, by my professional opinion, the scariest graphic novel I've ever read. bookshop.org/p/books/infi...

I saw Sleep Token this weekend. Still recovering.

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is

- more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week)

- more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages)

- more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)
