This is just bizarre

bryandrews.bsky.social•12 days ago

We had this in the UK during a decade of increasingly hard-right Conservative rule. These people are such sore winners.

anem.bsky.social•12 days ago

"During?"

My guy, it's still ongoing. Only thing that changed is the "C" went from capital to lower case.

bryandrews.bsky.social•12 days ago

Oh, I know. The fact that these people were still acting like downtrodden dogs during the largest (big C) Conservative majority in decades should tell the current government all they need to know about chasing their approval. Alas...

Has she ever tried eating her own poo to close the ouroboros of her chakras? Perhaps this is the thing she has been seeking her whole life without even knowing it. She should try it.

puzzledpeaces.bsky.social•12 days ago

So... some people are less happy to hug her than they were before she went full asshole? Mysterious.

johnmulloy.bsky.social•12 days ago

Concerning!

jeff-besitos.bsky.social•12 days ago

You only get to be a person like this by being totally incapable of introspection.

braak.bsky.social•12 days ago

did they really let her keep the PhD

tracycyanne.bsky.social•12 days ago

like most quacks i imagine she either never had one or lost it but still insists on being called doctor

braak.bsky.social•12 days ago

Oh no there's a famous thing about her, she got her PhD and then went on the radio to talk about it and the radio host pointed out that the entire premise was historically, verifiably wrong, live on the air.

braak.bsky.social•12 days ago

She was always at least somewhat batshit, but you can hear something snap inside her brain in the silence of her response.

kalmn.bsky.social•12 days ago

It was one of her books. Her phd is just known as “error strewn”. 🤦🏼‍♀️

https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/naomi-wolf-wanted-extra-year-long-embargo-controversial-thesis

braak.bsky.social•12 days ago

That book was based on her doctoral thesis! She was trying to have the thesis blocked after she found out, live, on air, that it was complete bullshit.

anthrodiva.bsky.social•12 days ago

That was an incredibly messy ride.

topmarx.bsky.social•12 days ago

Everything involving her is extremely messy, but is Oxford not in the practice of embargoing dissertations? My field rarely embargos, but English PhDs from my school usually go with a 5-7 year embargo. They have the pdf the whole time, it just can't be downloaded by the public.

dwhiggins.bsky.social•12 days ago

From where though? I've personally known someone who got a Ph.D. (essentially) by paying for it from a school no one would take seriously, but for his job it didn't matter.

braak.bsky.social•12 days ago

Oxford, I think.

dwhiggins.bsky.social•12 days ago

Ah nm then...

sopranospinner.bsky.social•12 days ago

Naomi misses being able to hug people without their consent, poor thing.

thetd.bsky.social•12 days ago

Awareness to reality is the real problem.

It causes people to become vaccinated AND is currently “stealing heart energy”.

dottiedino.bsky.social•12 days ago

because the vengeance that the anti-vax people seek against vaccinated people is the key

they’ll never be satisfied

there must always be more hate at the vaccinated, more fury, more thirst for vengeance or they get bored cuz they lose the high of rage and venom

gmarkham.bsky.social•12 days ago

She may be right. After having gone through COVID, I cannot, in my heart, find any empathy for this type of twittering nonsense and those who create it.

johnmulloy.bsky.social•12 days ago

For me her funniest bit was when she got nostalgic for happier, peaceful times in the 1970s .... IN NORTHERN IRELAND

femme-fatalis.bsky.social•12 days ago

“…diminished from some vaccinated people…”
Yea, because vaccinated people don’t wanna touch you with a 10’ pole.

mrobinson.bsky.social•12 days ago

It really sucks that these people are making themselves miserable and we're telling them that and they're like "no the problem is that you aren't miserable enough"

joshcallahan.com•12 days ago

Never been a better time to be a horrible person and they’re still fucking miserable…kind of relatable, frankly

aegixdrakan.bsky.social•12 days ago

Stuff like this is why I've had the following quote stuck in my head for a week: "Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous"

stegosaurus-rex.bsky.social•12 days ago

Imagine putting 8 NYT best sellers in your twitter handle, insecure much?

craighillman.bsky.social•12 days ago

She's gross, and insists on exposing her weird fetish. We get it, Naomi. 🙄

rudelyvangelder.bsky.social•12 days ago

Energy healers? Is she talking about that new Surgeon General?

feelightning.bsky.social•11 days ago

This is like that phenomenon of people who scream to the rooftops that they are EMPATHS ending up being very judgemental and prone to projection.

kiefonilsson.com•12 days ago

Well said. But they'll also never actually figure it out either so it's pretty cursed

"the people I know who aren't full lunatic assholes seem a little down. HOW COME"

If I were forced to hug Naomi Wolf in 2025 I'd have some vacant life energy too

"people don't seem to derive pleasure from hugging me, a proud unvaccinated maniac"

ormur.bsky.social•12 days ago

Your poem popped into my mind along with blaring alarm bells when a patron came in having just read the Beauty Myth and wanting more by her. Me and my colleague were both considering pointing her to Doppelganger.

skizelo.bsky.social•12 days ago

I'm glad they're miserable

normanstrasburg.bsky.social•12 days ago

What the hell happened to her? JFC.

runawaycornpop.bsky.social•12 days ago

She's been a bit of nutbar pretty much the entire time, and totally jumped the shark at least 15 years ago.

Unless of course you're making the common error of confusing her for Naomi Klein, who if anything is better than ever

normanstrasburg.bsky.social•12 days ago

Oh, I know about the doppelgänger thing between them and, no, I know who she is. I remember Naomi W as a serious intellectual back in the early ‘90s. Then, as you say… poof! It’s sad, really.

runawaycornpop.bsky.social•11 days ago

Yeah, in hindsight she wasn't ever that serious, she just kinda happened upon one good idea, that actually held up even though her data was garbage

Took a long time for people to notice though

theangelremiel.bsky.social•12 days ago

This scene from From Duck Til Dawn, basically https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U12bWXqxgXM

dsyb1985.bsky.social•12 days ago

Or they’ll just shift to say that “things are still bad because we haven’t removed enough of the bad people yet”.
