I’m always in favor of a collective reckoning around gendered violence but also, it’s fucking exhausting. The sheer tsunami of stories of harm. The desperation from women and survivors that men listen, for once, and learn and change. The force of the righteous and correct anger. Phew.

unfortunately, my favorite nonfiction books tend to be about (mostly) white (mostly) male (often) founders who come into undue power, change industries and systems for worse, and face few to no consequences. & because I am a glutton for punishment, ie, trying to make sense of how & why...

a less discussed but equally refreshing thing about Heated Rivalry is that the actors appear to have had less work done & thus look more like real people

You know, honestly, more than monetary donations, if somebody worked at a company that had access to a lot of 18 terabyte and larger hard drives and could talk to us, that's where we are really suffering. The internet archive has no special priority in buying hard drives and those things are insane.

Fortressing its campus is not the most brutal or evil thing a university like Columbia does, but it does feel like a particular violation of the social contract, spirit, space of city life, a harrowing way to instill and enforce fear and unearned deference

I went through the full range of human emotions just *reading* about this. we are so lucky to have Marisa's voice. may these stories be rendered obsolete one day so the women in our lives and in our culture can just fucking exist without strife.

What followed was an experience that I’m not yet ready to fully discuss publicly, but I will say this: I was fortunate to be home in New York where I didn’t have to worry for a moment that I would be denied appropriate care during one of the darkest moments of my life because of sadistic laws made by cruel people. Yet even still, it was a traumatic process, one during which I felt repeatedly failed simply as a human being. Because of the frequency of miscarriages, it made me wonder how many other people had been subjected to additional suffering during an already excruciating event. I already knew that maternal health care in this country was under-researched and poorly understood, but this experience opened my eyes to how little regard is given to our traumas, even under the supposedly best of circumstances.

With now infamous artistic commitment, the actor made us love ‘Succession’’s biggest failson—and earned a place in the prestige TV firmament. ‘The Social Reckoning’ offers an even bigger challenge.
