I Am So Fucking Tired of Listening To Women My Age Complain About Being Old and Washed
In honor of my recent birthday at the end of Aries season, here’s an essay about the pleasures of getting deeper into your thirties and the pernicious obsession with female abjection in cinema.

Pritzker: "He promised he was gonna lower costs & make us safer. He's done none of it. I realize he's only been in office 2 weeks, but it's gotten worse, not better. You think grocery prices have gone down? No, they've gone up bc of what he's threatening or what he's already put in place"

This is a great piece, and sadly on the money on how hard it is to admit you were used and manipulated by someone you’d worshipped.
The year I turned ten, my mother and stepfather joined Amway. Our lives spiraled into unreality, and we lost everything. I never got my mother back. Our experience prefigured the Trump era, with characters from my childhood later showing up in the White House. My story for the @theatlantic.com.
How I Lost My Mother
Amway sold my family a life built on delusion.

J.P. Morgan econs on Trump’s latest are “increasingly concerned that the policy mix may tilt into an unintentionally far less business-friendly stance. The sustained 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico set to start this weekend is materially different than the tariff increases built into our baseline.”

and it's worth noting that the Biden admin kept the Trump Title IX rules in effect for almost his entire presidency. Survivors and advocates begged for change earlier but they didn't release anything until Spring 2024 www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...
Donald Trump has ordered schools and universities to be even more deferential to male students accused of sexual violence. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-orders...
Trump Orders Schools to Ease Sex Assault Rules
The new Title IX rules will provide more protections for those accused of sexual misconduct, and eliminate LGBT protections adopted under Biden.

Additional scripts for cis het white men who want to be better allies:
“What a weird thing to say”
“Do you hear yourself right now?”
“You shouldn’t say shit like that to people”
“I won’t let you talk to them that way”
“That’s a disgusting opinion to have”
“Shut the fuck up, dude”

Cis men truly need to understand the power of saying “that’s fucked up bro why would you say that” to another cis man
The responsibility for resisting and correcting this behavior shouldn’t fall solely on a specific gender. If you’re a man of conscience and you see another man mimicking Nick Fuentes, fuck him up on sight before the women even get a chance. I mean that.

I enjoyed learning that if a moose ever decides to kill me, it was meant to be, fated in the stars, foretold in the ancient moose texts. It was always going to end this way and really, the moose would be setting me free.
Oh also, they enjoy swimming! How neat!
