Mia Brett @queenmab.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The Lindsay Clancy trial should have been an open & shut case of insanity but the prosecution exposed the way the legal system criminalizes motherhood when tragedies happen as a result of psychosis, accident, or illness.

Mia Brett @queenmab.bsky.social · 05/08/2026To to clarify the comment about Abdul El-Sayed was only cut for length! I think @catesby.bsky.social had to cut a few hundred words and kill a few darlings from my original draft. Interesting subjects could often support pieces that are twice as long 190
Mia Brett @queenmab.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I originally included El-Sayed in my piece on political masculinity for @rewirenewsgroup.com but it didn’t make the cut. Chris Hayes being impressed by his 315 bench press shows the appeal to men. But its interesting El-Sayed hasn’t been touted as masculine by pundits 3250
Mia Brett @queenmab.bsky.social · 04/08/2026No I’m exasperated but maybe that’s not fair on my part. I just feel like you’re trying to “no true Scotsman” the issue by dismissing the support of Platner to twitter & pundits 100
Mia Brett @queenmab.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I have 30k followers there and post multiple times a day. Has that made me prone to toxic masculinity? Is every politician who supported Platner active on twitter? Every Maine voter who liked him? 100
Mia Brett @queenmab.bsky.social · 04/08/2026The people cited in my piece are obviously public because I can’t point to private people’s statements but Platner had support in Maine, online, and in certain wings of the party 100
Mia Brett @queenmab.bsky.social · 04/08/2026That’s ridiculous. And it wasn’t only pundit class who liked Platner. Additionally the point in the piece is that it’s a type of masculinity that appeals to men vs a type that appeals to women 100

Mia Brett @queenmab.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Max Miller & Graham Platner are examples of men who perform masculinity in ways that men drool over even if it harms women.

Mia Brett @queenmab.bsky.social · 02/08/2026From Andrea Yates to Lindsay Clancy society refuses to help mothers which causes these tragedies. Instead our forced birth culture relies on dismissing the difficulties and telling women pregnancy & motherhood is easy and natural. My latest substack open.substack.com/pub/miabrett... 1100
Mia Brett @queenmab.bsky.social · 02/08/2026I can’t believe we’re reliving Andrea Yates. Lindsay Clancy begged for help. She didn’t want to kill her children. And everyday I swear people questioning if this can really be blamed on post partum psychosis. The response to this tragedy is connected to our forced birth culture 1210

Mia Brett @queenmab.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Women often downplay sexual violations when we’re assaulted by men we know. We say it was a bad hookup, an uncomfortable sexual experience, it was our fault. That we do this doesn’t mean we weren’t assaulted. It means it’s difficult to admit a man we trusted did this 1618
