You can expect an article a day from now until Election Day throwing dirt on Mary's name. Why? Legacy media's corporate benefactors are terrified she will flip the senate. As Beyoncé said, "you know you that bitch when you cause all this conversation." Keep it coming.

But it’s not even about him. It’s about the system that allows individuals who profit off screwing people over accumulate enough wealth and power to reshape a small town’s water, land, and air without ever really being accountable to the people who live there.

Zuck sailed into our Alaskan town and parked his yachts in the bay for around a month. He earns one dollar a year — because hard to tax a man who only receives $1 in salary. One dollar a year buys a lot of yacht.

Can you imagine telling your child: “Sweetie, we must go to the power plant today. There, we will join your aunties and cousins. We must all go there today so the president of the United States doesn’t completely wipe our civilization off the face of the earth. Then, maybe he’ll change his mind.”

So the guy that ran on ending wars has now renamed the Dpt of Defense to the Dpt of War. 🙄 It’s almost as if they just don’t even care about votes anymore. Almost if they won’t even need them...

There’s a saying: Whoever discovered water wasn’t a fish. Fish don’t know they’re in water because water is all they know. The water is patriarchy, which we now know is the real enemy of male mental health. I wrote this as a love letter for men and boys. open.substack.com/pub/summeris...

“But when you mentioned that you had to take a 35-hour flight to Alaska, may I ask where you purchase your ayahuasca? Because last I checked, it’s an eight-hour flight from Anchorage to New York City. Unless you're traveling by dog sled with a layover in Siberia.”

"You don't have to say fuck on Facebook," my mom said. But frankly, I don’t think women say fuck enough. I don’t think we give enough fucks, and I don’t think fuck is a strong enough word to express the horror at the state of the world. I think we should also say fuck a lot fucking louder, frankly.

“The worst thing in the world is to feel that you’re the only one who feels this way and that you are going quietly mad and everyone else is in denial,” writes psychotherapist Caroline Hickman. “That terrifies people. It traumatizes people.” open.substack.com/pub/summeris...

Eventually, this leads girls and women to police each other and themselves. The self-policing and parasocial anxiety prevent women and girls from accumulating power, resources, and influence. (2)

Teaching girls to be compliant teaches them that their value lies in pleasing others. They learn to make themselves smaller, exchanging their wants and needs for a perpetual state of what-do-people-want-from-me anxiety. (1)

So much hope…. The judge who was arrested for allegedly sheltering a migrant was released and now there will be no autism registry. PopeJohn Paul, first pope to openly advocate for LGBTQ, appointed 4/5 of the Cardinals in the Vatican, hoping that his spirit and mission live on. (1)

Criticizing the government doesn’t make you un-American. Criticizing Israel doesn’t make you anti-Israel or antisemitic. The deportation/detention of legal migrants who criticize Israel is a litmus test… For all of us.

So cancer enthusiast RFK took a break from roasting under hotdog halogen lights to announce that autism is an epidemic caused by mold and food additives. My daughter was raised in a mold free home and breast-fed until 3 ½ supplemented w/ organic foods. Not that that matters anyway because science.

Neurospicy peeps from U.S., do u feel like your neurodivergence is making u more fearful and obsessed with the news? I don’t know if it’s cuz I’m hypersensitive or I tend to obsess compulsively about things, but I feel that living in Merica is causing me to spiral a little more than fellow Normies.

I’ve been wondering when will it no longer be safe for me to write about politics. I’m a primary care provider for my kids, one of whom is disabled and homeschooled. Are you self censoring? Where do we draw the line between speaking up for the greater good vs becoming smaller 4 self preservation?
