I have a lot to say about the resurgent young men / masculinity discourse but for now will confine myself to:
I wish I knew how to convince teenage boys/young men is how little of the world actually requires or even invites the hypermisogynist "tough guy" aesthetic

ICE illegally arrested Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi outside his citizenship appointment solely because of his advocacy in support of Palestinian rights.
His release from detention on bail is a win for free speech.

2. I do not give a fuck if you or any other white people understand me. Where you got that is beyond me.

When you see innocent people being sent to a hell hole concentration camp in El Salvador, you are horrified.
But the thing that most people in the USA still don't want to reckon with, is that *more than half* of the white people in the USA see the same exact images, *and like it*.
They love it.

Sorry if I've seemed distant and emotionally unavailable lately, it's just that everything is a nightmarish horror and many of the things I need in order to ameliorate said horror are completely outside of the realm of possibility, right now, and I don't want to bother you with it.

i want nothing more than for jd vance to become a pariah whose name is a burden on him for the rest of his life.
JD Vance claims the Maryland father the Trump administration mistakenly deported to a slave prison in El Salvador wasn't "father of the year" bc he had "traffic violations," and says "we do not ask permission from far left Democrats before we deport illegal immigrants."

I regularly lament the general population’s chronic lack of independent & critical thought. It feels like so many of us outsource our opinions, consuming toxic or half-baked narratives rather than questioning, exploring, or analyzing for ourselves. It’s not just about intelligence;(1/2)
