have some erotic art in progress, happy valentines day, follow my favorite artist/writer @katieaki.bsky.social
Found a little time to work on this today, since tis the season and everything. I don’t want to draw all of Johnny’s stupid fucking baka tattoos. Thats why I had to make Lou completely plain, so I could have SOMEONE to draw without 6 million details

Yes this is about Mansfield Park and Dracula!!
I know I'm Brontë-brained right now because of my current article but the instant you spot the thread of slavery in a novel and see how it infects every character with evil and degradation... People knew. It was never in doubt.

during covid all of us public facing service workers were thanked ridiculously like we were volunteers during a time we didn't know what was going on or how to handle this shit but quietly running in the background who didn't get any recognition at all? janitors, custodians, maintenance workers
or you know literally anyone who was given that job should be salaried like a manager. that is goddamn superhero above and beyond work quite frankly. janitors should have the highest pay and I ain't even joking. society is run on the services they provide, which is beyond bathrooms too

can't make and sell art bc payment processors don't like that it's gay, can't work my dayjob bc higher ups don't like that i'm gay. it's almost like everything in the world doesn't want us to be gay at all.

This is great! I’m also always happy to talk with people about my experience leaving Substack for Beehiiv—it was a financial risk & there was a definite adjustment period following the move but ethically it was the right thing to do.
That's 100% why I created leavesubstack.com -- got tired of re-hashing the points; wanted to make a simple 1-pager.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

I sigh every time I see another overly complicated system seemingly designed for no other purpose than to waste time and cause people to make mistakes for which they will be punished.
I stfg this town has the most annoying taxation system I have ever even heard of. no less than 5 separate tax levies that are collected by at least 2 different private contractors

And yet when I express frustrating that programs like mine are constantly under threat and that we are increasingly restricted from academic inquiry related to women and gender, I am told that I'm being paranoid
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

Mariana Lorena García, a researcher at the National Autonomous University of Mexico investigating data centre impact, called the failure to complete projects "a form of extractivism...They come ask communities what they need, they write it down in a report, and then they don’t do anything."

Read these "alarming" grants. Are you "alarmed"? Are they so self-evidently ludicrous that the word "satire" springs to mind? Do they read like "confessions" to you?

If not, you probably don't have the right ideological orientation to be hired at the Atlantic. mellon.org/news/mellon-...

Population change is real - but it's also a slow moving train. We have time to design thoughtful policy responses to address population aging, future labor market needs, and economic growth. But if we focus on raising birth rates as the ONLY possible response, we'll squander that time. 6/6

Things like childcare and paid leave would be great. And we should support them EVEN IF THEY DON'T RAISE BIRTH RATES because there is a robust body of evidence demonstrating they improve the health and well-being of children, parents, and families. (They're even good for employers!) 4/6

One of the most frustrating things about the current US discourse over low birth rates is its laser focus on "how can we raise birth rates?" In this op-ed for @thehill.com, I explain why that's the wrong question and what we should be asking instead. 1/6
