What if estrangement isn't a trend, but instead it is the predictable result of toxic and controlling parenting methods? strongwilled.substack.com/p/chapter-12...
Chapter 13: Estrangement in Religious Authoritarian Families
It's a predictable outcome of authoritarian parenting practices and enmeshed families, not a "trend" that will be easily reversed.

One of my fave discoveries when co-curating that exhibit at the Billy Ireland were some truly unhinged early Fletcher Hanks drawings that turned out to be his homework from the W.L. Evans School of Cartooning and Caricature correspondence course.

I regret every joke I’ve made about how our elected officials were so old they didn’t know how to use a computer. I would give anything for another administration that doesn’t know how to use a computer

A point I've been making for a while now. They want us all to spend money while charging us more money and refusing to increase our pay. If the prices go up and the income does not then we run out of money. Surely the oh so smart business people understand this concept?
If you want people to spend more, pay them more.

Their position, much like with COVID infections and Long COVID, seems to be if you don’t talk about it and you don’t measure it, it doesn’t really exist.
As human beings, we must fight back on this ignorance and nihilistic approach to human life.

The attacks on @goodlawproject.bsky.social just don't stand up to the sniff test, as the ever excellent @jessothomson.co.uk explains here. Of course not all cases, especially complex ones, will be won, but there is a growing narrative that the most vulnerable should not have legal recourse to rights
Today, in The Times, there is an attempted hit piece on my employer – Good Law Project.
It is *incredibly* weak, and perhaps the biggest compliment really is just how little they have to accuse us of. But it also promotes the Trans Mission concert – to which you should buy tickets!

This piece is fantastic (as is everything Kat writes) but I don't know how to make the studios and the PR groups that represent them understand that their reliance on Twitter and unspoken "requirement" for entertainment journos & critics to use X makes "being harassed" part of our job description.
It has now been a year since I stopped posting on X. For @spitfirenews.com, I wrote about watching the platform I loved become a conduit for the worst extremism I've ever witnessed. I don't regret leaving. In fact, I wish I'd left even earlier.
