Would be nice if the guy who just won on a story about sex workers would've used this moment to advocate for them. Esp with the current attempts to ban pornography.

It is truly fucking wild how the introductory thesis of this argument is, "As we all know, men will find any loophole they can to be sex criminals and degenerates. My primary source on this is me, a degenerate."

Nickel Boys was so good and so devastating and so spot on. I am haunted and horrified, and the fact that it didn’t get more love from the awards really undercuts the whole awards

there’s still so much persephone in Gemma’s story but after the last ep I can’t stop thinking about them as orpheus & eurydice bc there’s nothing left to save. lumon’s fucked with their minds irreparably. she’s already gone, he just wants to look at her one last time. #severance

My latest piece for @teenvogue.com delves into the horrific story of popular skincare ingredient Retin-A. Before Retin-A was approved by the FDA in 1971, it had been tested on hundreds of incarcerated Black people in Philadelphia, without their informed consent. The survivors still bear the scars.

I knew this was happening, but I didn’t know the numbers affected until I read the article. 23. 22 trans women and one trans man. The federal government taking out its biggest hammer to deliberately harm 23 people. 99% of trans woman prisoners are already in men’s prisons.

how am i just supposed to go about my life as if i didn’t just learn that at the core of #Severance Gemma is trapped inside every level of hell at once and on purpose, all the eerie calm of the entire show an omelas surrounding the false child they’ve made of her. like i knew it was dark but my god

Hi folks, an author friend and true pillar of the publishing community is in need of funds to leave and recover from a domestic violence situation. Their name is not disclosed because of the nature of the situation, but I can vouch that this is legitimate. Please share and give if you can 💜

I really thought nothing could get more horrific than your entire existence being labor & delivery, but “eternal dentist appointment” gives it a run for its money. which is probably why Lumon needed to experiment with it to market #severance to wealthy pregnant women. god i hate capitalism.

thinking about #severance as a metaphor for grief, about how fundamentally grief remakes you, how the version of yourself you were with them is dead too—but it’s not a clean death. you’re haunted by who you were when they were here. “you carry it with you”

for me one of the loudest classic tragedies within the heart of #severance s2 is that there is a ghost haunting the narrative and it’s not gemma. it’s petey. its petey at the start, petey as grief innie mark s knows, almost separate from outie mark’s grief. mark on peteys path, a few steps behind

is it an unpopular opinion to believe helena eagan is not on any real level a socially awkward dork but a violently manipulative sociopath who is performing an act to quash mark’s rebellion? she couldn’t have passed as helly at all if she was that guileless #severance

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

As someone who believes in the deep and essential nature of friendship/platonic love, Dear Wendy by @annzhao.bsky.social made me cry. I'm here for the messiness, the apologies, the grand gestures.
