The Perez Hilton livestream was horrifying. So was what came next
Plus, how WeddingTok became this generation's MLM marketplace.

I couldn't engage with it as a reporter because it just was too horrible, and I can make that choice now. However, I'm glad other writers are sharing nuanced takes on what actually happened, and I'm super glad @kattenbarge.bsky.social is one of them.

I'm glad I no longer work at a media company that would probably have told me to write about Perez Hilton's mental health episode and thus would've expected me to watch the livestreams of him harming himself as if that's normal.

I’m after a good pair of legging shorts — preferably ones that are a good length for my look legs and don’t ride up!! Any recommendations?

The job market is so bad, people are buying career spells from witches
After months of sending applications into the void, some job seekers are paying Etsy witches for career spells when they feel they've exhausted every other option.

I dunno. I don't have any highly articulate thoughts on it right now but the interaction itself I found quite interesting.

But if he had, I imagine he would've been subjected to more of the "SILENCE BRAND" energy that's most of the "establishment" gets when they enter the comments.

I was thinking about what it would've been like if Starmer had done something similar. It's kind of inconceivable that he would have gone there, right?

The response to the comment interested me. Of course there was some trolling, some criticism, some hate, some general idiocy. But there was also a wave of people being like "a king" and "lol". Someone was even like "Is Andy our Zohran?" lmao

False alarm, I found it. "Smashed it guys" lol

They listed all the fairly underwhelming things they managed to do in their luteal phase and it's hilarious! It went a tad viral, and yesterday, I would swear up and down that I saw Burnham's account had commented on it. It said something like "great work guys!" www.tiktok.com/@emstarbatt/...

I was going to say something about how well Andy Burnham seemed to be reaching young people, because I saw a TikTok yesterday where two girls riffed off his "Five things I've done in my first week" video. I'll link below. ⬇️

Gen Z is turning Instagram into the new LinkedIn
Instagram gives Gen Z jobseekers a fuller picture of workplace culture than traditional professional networks. Employers are learning they need to show—not just tell—what it's like to work there.

Also, I have a substack! My blog today was about how women are ridiculously funny — especially (but not only) when they’re horny on main 😈

I work in the media so I’m desensitized but I think there’s something deeply wrong with us that this is considered normal.

A couple of weeks ago, news outlets on social media were sharing the video of the NYC helicopter crash that killed a whole family without any trigger warnings. Today they’re posting photos of the pope’s corpse.

Just went through old messages with someone I cut out because they never had time for me and constantly canceled plans, just to see if I overreacted. But it was even worse than I remembered. 🥲

I haven't watched the documentary yet, but I will. I'm hoping they can dig into some of this and determine where the slippery slope began and what contributed to Ruby getting so severely sucked into Jodi's dark world.

Lindsay Dodgson @linzasaur.bsky.social · 27/02/2025
Kevin is in contact with his kids which says a lot. But I can't shake the feeling that, somehow, we haven't heard the full story yet. Like right at the start of the call, Kevin said it was Chad's idea to speak to their followers about his bedroom. (Obviously, I have no idea if this is true.)
100
Lindsay Dodgson @linzasaur.bsky.social · 27/02/2025
I don't know if Kevin was 100% on board with the parenting decisions back then. All I know is that he passionately defended them on the record. I don't know when things turned abusive. I don't know when Jodi came along. All I know is that between 2020 and 2023, things got a lot worse.
100
Lindsay Dodgson @linzasaur.bsky.social · 27/02/2025
Kevin has said in recent interviews he pushed back on some of Jodi's teachings. I think he's referring to things like Chad sleeping on a beanbag. It's weird now thinking about how eager he was to explain that decision to me.

Lindsay Dodgson @linzasaur.bsky.social · 27/02/2025
You could say that you see the beginnings of something more sinister — how children are "antifragile" and that they "need to be exposed to challenges and difficulties so that they can grow." But there was also a lot of what sounded like parental love. It's really eerie looking back on it now.
100
Lindsay Dodgson @linzasaur.bsky.social · 27/02/2025
Kevin and Ruby struck me as strict parents who had some controversial ideas about how responsible very young kids are for their own lives. Reading back some of the conversation, it seems likely Jodi was around. Kevin mentioned working with "licensed therapists and psychological professionals."

I Interviewed the Frankes in June 2020. They spoke an equal amount about their parenting, I would say. I'm going to share a few excerpts. I'm making no assumptions here. Only that this interview captures a moment in time, and it feels relevant now that Kevin Franke has started speaking out.
