lmao you can just print any shit in the newspaper these days. how does this criticism coexist in the same conversation as a critique of MeToo? women accused men of harassment too much but also women have an aversion to directness
Douthat: So for both of you, what is toxic femininity? If there are distinctive masculine vices — I think we can concede that there are. There's a lot of talk about toxic masculinity. It's a regular subject of discussion. What are the feminine vices in that story? Andrews: Gossiping. Inability to deal with conflict directly and kind of suppressing conflict. An aversion to directness, which, naturally, in a workplace, is a big problem because you need to be able to give direct feedback to people, including negative feedback.

ah, well
Screenshot from The Wrap story: It was unclear whether Weiss' other journalistic operation, the anti-woke news and opinion site the Free Press, was affected by the layoffs. Paramount acquired the site earlier this month for roughly $150 million, and Weiss remains its top editor.

i used to live in an apartment with one of these things so it’s deeply personal for me you must understand
Screenshot of an instagram reel from @okaycoolgigi where she’s standing in front of the peephole on her apartment door. It’s one of those really old fashioned metal boxes that has a shudder that opens and closes and a little analog doorbell inside. She has removed layers of caked on paint and refinished it, making it shiny and pretty

Screenshot of an instagram reel in which a white blonde woman is eating tuna and crackers in an airplane seat. In text over the video, it says: “they ate fast food at Gate 14 but have the audacity to judge your protein on the plane. Eat. The. Tuna. Pack the protein. Ignore the looks. Prioritize health - even mid-flight.”

i would simply like to stop living in the book of revelations plz
A screenshot from yesterday's Denver Post newsletter, top story reads: "Why are Colorado rabbits growing tentacles and horns?" Description reads: "As weird and concerning as they appear, the virus that causes the dark, wart-like horns or tentacles to grow on cottontail rabbits is relatively common and usually nothing to worry about, CPW said."

it is actually this simple to say that certain things are not up for debate!
Ms. Sherald said that Mr. Bunch on Monday had proposed replacing the painting with a video of people reacting to the painting and discussing transgender issues, an idea she rejected because she said it would have included anti-trans views. "When I understood a video would replace the painting, I decided to cancel," she said. "The video would have opened up for debate the value of trans visibility and I was opposed to that being a part of the 'American Sublime' narrative."

still thinking about gaga writing in her burn book
a shitty picture from a lady gaga concert in Vegas on Wednesday. There’s an elaborate opera house set on the stage and above it, there’s a screen showing a little movie of lady gaga in a poofy red renaissance style dress writing on a piece of paper with a giant red quill pen
