TLDR is jfc it must be so exhausting to be straight. Just building your own prisons all day long.

This is a lie though, yall ARE attracted to gay men. And I know this because of how everyone reacts when a good looking men discloses that they are gay...

[AB @AlannaBennett]

If you trust & like your partner — or intend to like & trust your partner — why be so caught up on who they’ve fucked in the past?

[AB @AlannaBennett]

Predatory & coercive??? No one is forcing you to date bi men. They’re just pointing out that the reasoning most women who refuse to date them have is, yes, wildly homophobic, biphobic, bi erasure that upholds the absolute worst of comphet, toxic masculinity & patriarchy 🤷🏽‍♀️

[🌸 (Ni)gro Robin 🌸 @che_creates]

The real question is, what about him being bisexual is going to change the relationship he has with you? Does it change how he would treat you? Does his attraction to men affect his attraction to you? Like… I genuinely don’t get it 😂

I’m stalking but this diva is writing profound poetry about my favorite show ever like I’m locked in

@dancingofpens It must be the stills, because the trailer didn’t look that way to me!

[AB @AlannaBennett]

@SorryMomDotGov Someone I know who has very elevated taste saw it and said apparently it’s great?!?

[AB @AlannaBennett]

Activist Erin Brockovich is forming a nationwide effort to hold data centers accountable for environmental damage

She has already received over 8,000 complaints about data centers from nearly every state

Here's my final word: both the success of the Nolan Odyssey and Emily Wilson's cranky review are good. They are signs of a somewhat healthy-adjacent public intellectual culture.

[AB @AlannaBennett]

Then again: Perhaps mess is fun, and by engaging with the different POVs of this debate we can each learn a little bit more about what interests US in a narrative (or set of narratives) like The Odyssey, and what that says about what's on our minds or weighing on our souls

[AB @AlannaBennett]

Perhaps we shouldn't expect renowned academics to be anything BUT annoying and snobby about the subject matter they've devoted their lives to.

[AB @AlannaBennett]

Perhaps we shouldn't expect giant blockbusters to have been crafted with the same academic rigor as painstaking 600-page translations of a dense ancient text. Perhaps the forms serve different purposes and are fundamentally different, if overlapping.

@BeeBabs LIKE, NO IDEA

Is it a hot take if I say Olivia Wilde should be nominated for Best Actress?

Ben Affleck’s mother, Christopher, who just passed away, traveled to Palestine/Israel in 2009, and returned home as an organizer with the Alliance for Water Justice in Palestine.

[her name is cyn 🌷 @cynfinite]

My favorite and her most vulnerable reveal. So much grief we carry is of love that carried something precious, that’s now stuck. Because the container that enabled that love was so special, and now it’s gone.

The sadness and exhaustion of needing to find a new one.
