Lonely Boys Gambling Fascism, isolation, and those fucking betting apps.

for @theflytrapmedia.com today, I wrote about how the fascist fuckos want to us to be spectators to our own lives, isolated from each other and literally throwing money and time away

What we lost when we lost Self magazine The almost 50-year-old publication was a lifeline for chronically ill readers.

After Condé Nast's decision to close SELF, I spoke to chronically ill women about what the women's health site meant to them.

"We have to acknowledge chronic illness as a politically, culturally, and socially marginalized category"

this is it! feminism is a movement as well as a lens, not an excuse to do what i want to do.

i agree. it's also the laziest.

The Man Whom Exxon Tried To Drill After years of using shareholder votes to pressure oil giants on climate, one activist triggered a corporate backlash that is reshaping the limits of investor power.

A little shareholder activism for your Monday afternoon.

it's like so much worse now, feels like these more pliable kinds of feminism won the race.

yes i think that's at the crux of it

ugh i didn't know, thanks for giving me this tip lol. horrifying.

if you have thoughts, please email me at: nicolefroio@gmail.com

things like "it's not feminist to comment on a woman's actions" or "women using AI is women's empowerment" kind of things. like does it feel like feminist discourse is too co-opted to actually address women's rights at the moment?

I am writing something for @theflytrapmedia.com about how current "feminist" discourse feels like an optical illusion (like people use it rhetorically but don't really understand the history and roots of the movement). are you a feminist and do you have thoughts? I'm thinking about +

thank you <3

100% agree!

yes, agreed. i think this may haven started with millennials tho, like choice was originally about abortion/repro rights but was co-opted.

this is also something that's in my notes, it feels like 90s postfeminism!

A red, spiky rage monster, eyes closed, tears streaming, mouth wide open in a scream.

I drew my rage. #art

thank you!!!!!!!!!

absolutely

this!!!!!!!

yay! i have some of the stuff you said in my notes already so i think it'll be a good addition :) thank you!

this is interesting because part of my thinking is like... did liberal / girlboss feminism win?

At least 29 people have died in ICE custody since October.

It would be great to even get some kind of a vague timeline for when Mamdani plans to implement his very narrow, incremental campaign promises regarding NYPD policy. He’s already signaling he will abandon the gang database promise. So what’s the deal w SRG? When?

❤️🥰 thank uu

THIS IS LITERALLY ONE OF MY EXAMPLES. like "commenting on peoples bodies isn't feminist" thing is if kim kardashian is encouraging women to be addicted to plastic surgery, it's actually feminist to say so!

pls email me if you feel so inclined :)

!! i think the individualization of feminism into identity has everything to do with it.

yea, ngl this is what sent me down this rabbit hole in the first place! feel free to send me an email with thoughts!
