Tim ProbstThe Smashing Pumpkins
My college-aged son and many of his friends have discovered The Smashing Pumpkins. They're going through their Smashing Pumpkins phase much like I and many of my friends went through a Led Zeppelin phase at some point in middle or high school. You know the "phase." It's the journey of discovering a band from before we were born and thinking, at least for a brief time, that it may be the greatest band of all time. I have to admit, I have been thoroughly enjoying this moment. The Smashing […]

Yeah, I learned this lesson earlier this year when a man lied to me about clicking “support” for a house bill about body autonomy. I guess he didn’t realize I could go look at who clicked what (it’s public information) & when I said something he was like “well I didn’t know which one so I guessed” bruh it was in the text you replied to but you could have ASKED. Or googled. Or just said that you forgot to do it. Lying was definitely the best choice. 🤦🏻♀️
This same man scoffed at me one day when I said something about how I won’t date men who do something (I don’t even remember what) and he was all “Well that’s judgmental!” Nah, it’s “picking better” so you guys don’t claim any abuse I receive is my fault. Furthermore, I wouldn’t have survived to 52 years old while dating men without being somewhat “judgmental”.
Not being judgmental is how I ended up with a 32-year-old boyfriend when I was 15.
Not being judgmental is how I ended up with a cocaine addiction and black eyes at 18.
Not being judgmental is how I ended up with a hobosexual in my home who tried to have me arrested for kicking him out.
So yeah, ok old rich white dude, judge me for being judgmental. Whatever.
This one is REALLY good. (Maybe I say that about all her work, but for real, THIS ONE IS GOOD.):
“I also don’t want to ignore the fact that he has self-diagnosed ADHD. Self-diagnosis is valid and important for a lot of reasons, but it’s also one of the many ways men weaponize social justice against women.
It works like this: he knows he can’t just outright refuse to do chores. He also knows that it’s oppressive and abusive to mistreat someone because of their neurodivergence. So he asserts that he has neurodivergence, and that it is abusive for you to do anything other than fully cater to his every whim. He’s neurodivergent, after all. It’s a weird kind of ableism.
This idea that neurodivergent people should get whatever they want feeds into the widespread notion that real accommodations for real neurodivergence are some sort of unreasonable entitlement. Never mind the fact that neurodivergence in women is always an excuse to accommodate them even less.”

This newsletter is fantastic.
“Older women are powerful and wise. They’re no longer in danger from birth and pregnancy, and years of experience have taught them that romantic fantasies rarely pan out. Middle age brings with it the gift of not giving a fuck what men think, and of maybe even finally abandoning the beauty myth forever.”
