This may seem a little gauche to say on main, but it is a real, frequent, pervasive feature of life as a woman these days, and I don't want anyone to be able to pretend it's not happening
Listen, you don't even have to be dating men for it to affect you I mean, dating right now sounds like a circle of hell, but the effect in public spaces, politics, school, the workplace? Also a creepy circle of hell
I am an ancient historian and I write about ancient things, but that chapter in the book I just published, about boys and men consuming and producing images of women they make up, and those images persisting to obscure and replace the real women around them in daily, even intimate, interactions?
It was this one, and, yes, I do believe that was an All In first.
This week in crone-ism (not to be confused w/cronyism): learned I've aged into "sorry you can't get in to see that OB/GYN for a breast lump assessment because you're too old" (i.e. > 50, even tho still bleeding). It's not history's greatest outrage, way worse BS happening in healthcare but for real?
There are two wolves inside of you. A fantastic result for the rewilding project you've been developing in your chest for the last few years.
There’s a queen (Saltina Shaker) on Canada’s Drag Race S6 who out of drag is totally giving Joe Elliot from Def Leppard and I’m obsessed. Am I thinking it’s time for a shag mullet in my life? 💯YES.

"Whenever you hear about an encampment ‘sweep,’ first ask: Where will the people go?" @blindeke.bsky.social knocks it out of the park, as usual, at @minnpost.bsky.social Stop thinking short term & hyperlocal about this problem: it needs to be solved at the state. www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...

Standing next to Fever fans at this Lynx game and this is 💯 the case.
Tom Emmer did this
Minnesota’s Superior National Forest received a $10 million grant in 2024 to cover wildfire prevention efforts, then DOGE delayed funding. now, parts of that area are burning. I spoke with a former wildland firefighter who says the cuts made the fire worse. youtu.be/0cbI9_CNZmM?...
Rocking some new, deliciously trans colored bike shoes to the Lynx game.
knowing ahead of time that Reacher is about a really large man who appears to have grown his muscles exclusively for the purposes of respecting women did not even slightly prepare me for how large he is or how much he respects women
It’s not what Naomi is asking, but just to spell it out, if Mayor Her resigns, the mayor of Minneapolis will unfortunately still be Jacob Frey.
Okay I've scrolled way down the MSP feed and haven't seen anyone ask or answer this: if Mayor Her resigns in disgrace, who becomes mayor? I know the answer in Minneapolis but not in St. Paul.
The Stud Budz stream is basically fuckboi rumspringa x girls' trip. It's the best thing.
WE HAD A RESCUE ANIMAL LADY COME FOR OUR KIDS BIRTHDAY AND I UNDERESTIMATED THE ANIMALS SHE WOULD BRING.
Imagine watching your neighbour's house burn down and, instead of helping, complaining about the smell of the smoke.
Really an all-timer, among a number of all-timers.🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼
