The older I get the more I’m absolutely okay with butting in and telling younger women to “run”

People who say raising boys is easier are not paying attention
Anyone else raising a son and reading the new Patrick Radden Keefe book and completely freaking out?
Unfortunately my podcast cohost thought of it and I’m so mad at him for thinking of it and being cleverer than me
this is magic and you deserve magic
Once again, @lyz.bsky.social captures the fury so many women feel when so many make excuses for abusers. Probably a triggering read. But on the mark.
I’m always surprised at the people who pick the abusers over literally anyone else. I am always surprised at the open contempt many people have for a woman’s dignity, her story, her right to her autonomy — while still expecting her compliance and her silence. www.patreon.com/posts/metoo-...
I wrote about whether we are heading for a #metoo part II and if we have the capacity for all of that again. It’s a personal piece but so are politics www.patreon.com/posts/metoo-...
JD Vance catholicsplaining the pope is new levels of idiocy as yet unknown to mankind
We didn’t have multiple defenestrations of Prague just so I would have to care about the Pope!
"Someone tried to strangle Sneako", "Clavicular just had a drug overdose", I refuse to believe that understanding any of these headlines is better for me than chain-smoking
oh now you tell me
It’s great! It’s necessary but also oh my god 😭
Nothing prepares you for seeing your baby drive away by themselves the first time
NEW: I had some ~thoughts~ after attending last night’s PWHL game at TD Garden. “When do we stop asking players to “do it for her [insert photo of little girl in the stands]” & let them do it for themselves, simply because they want to be great?”
Making tenure count, for MSNOW I wrote about my employer, The University of Iowa, creating a center for intellectual freedom. It's a reactionary project built on decades of conservative propaganda about higher ed.
Thank you!!!
occasional reminder that my [award-winning] second book is in paperback and it's cheap as hell. bookshop.org/p/books/the-...
This is such a reminder of why I muted you years ago
Anyone who has ever reported a story about sexual abuse knows it’s way worse than what’s actually written. Because what’s written is just what is unimpeachable.
I won’t be surprised if there isn’t a lot more and not just about Sawell.
It’s absolutely disingenuous to ever pretend that this was a party issue rather than a patriarchy issue www.cnn.com/2026/04/10/u...

Renaming the Streisand effect because lololol what
Eh I mean be reasonable. Rs have enough votes to override any veto so unclear what would even get done. But it would piss them off so there is that
Hey Dale, I beg you to read one of the links. It’s realism not pessimism. It’s not just about registered voters but active voters. And Ds in Iowa have very low voter turnout even in presidential election years. There is a link to an Iowa journo who ran numbers on a lot of scenarios. read it.
The active voters still lean in the Rs favor but I think of all the Iowa races it is the one that has the most potential to flip. Here’s my breakdown of voter analysis before you fight me. bsky.app/profile/lyz....
