Graeber’s Bullshit Jobs thesis is aging quite well.

One of my favorite writers wrote about why we should keep writing ⬇️

“Writing forces people to resolve internal contradictions & confront their own bullshit. It’s why it’s hard. It’s why it’s beautiful. It’s why it leads to insight. People write to communicate but also to figure out what they think”

Why every woman can see herself in the story of a German celebrity couple’s split | Fatma Aydemir Many will recognise their own experiences of digital abuse in Collien Fernandes’s allegations – technology offers perpetrators both tools and cover, says Guardian Europe columnist Fatma Aydemir

Dear Guardian, “a celebrity couple’s split” is not the story.

The story is a woman’s decade-long digital abuse and virtual rape at the hands of her husband, involving a large number of her acquaintances and colleagues.

Another day, another “uncovered” archive.
