Has anyone ever tried to organize their books autobiographically like Rob Gordon did his records in High Fidelity?

It's also about the importance of emotional promiscuity, and heavily focuses on the internal work and understanding required for less rigid frameworks for relationships. There's a lot of reflective exercises that felt better suited to a therapeutic relationship. I liked it a lot.

This wasn't entirely new territory for me, as someone who used to read a lot of books on nonmonogamy and Spade's last book "Mutual Aid." This blended a lot of elements from both but isn't just a guide for open relationships.

Daytime bedtime revenge procrastination. It's different from regular procrastination, because of the revenge part.

As racist groups start showing up at these protests, the folks who are organizing them need to plug in with local anti-fascists and learn about community self defense.

Yes
These are all real problems, with real harms, and it behoves us to engage with them seriously. But we cannot do that by proclaiming ‘woke over-reach’ the villain when actual, structural issues go unaddressed. In the UK, for example, if asked to solve the impenetrable mystery of why so many boys are aimless, dissocialised, and credulous, I might point to the fact that 70% of schools have less funding than they did in 2010. Or that two thirds of council-run youth centres in England have closed in the same period, along with 30% of leisure centres and 20% of libraries. Add to that thousands of football pitches, swimming pools, boxing clubs, and communal spaces. Pretending that the effects of such obvious social vandalism are somehow outweighed by people on Twitter talking about ‘male privilege’
demeans the issues at hand, as well as our collective intelligence.

Not being able to differentiate between a feeling you have inside and a person DOING something to you is a long-standing, often ignored, addressable problem. How much could change if it wasn’t typical to experience new information as a hostile confrontation when it makes you uncomfortable?

Sometimes I feel like a failure in the attention economy both online and in person. There's not a lot of space for people to be slow burns, to get comfortable and open up slowly.

God this book ruled. So simply written, so much happening. The reading group guide asks about Crip Time! A very trans and gay and disabled book about grief. 5/5 stars.

Still the weirdest part about learning how to have boundaries and work on codependency is that for a lot of folks on that spectrum, they're used to taking responsibility for everyone's actions. They're naturally at fault for things, it's a control mechanism.

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945. They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)

You’ll probably see this screenshot floating around a lot but it really was wonderful to see Lynch put a scene in Twin Peaks: The Return where he has his character literally stare at the camera and say that you should either support trans people or die. I needed to hear that in 2017
