Of all the sins, my biggest and the worst one was the deleting and destroying everything unread, ignored, or not paid enough attention to, and such a deep shame of myself because of being ignored, that I have spent the most precious years of my life sheerly surviving it

[Xenia Hell @xeniahell]

And it's not only the desire for attention now, desire to be perfect, to look perfect, to think perfect, to be a perfect communicator and perfectly sarcastic, it's that the very real people who write all those loaded hateful things on the internet think that they do something good and worthy. Something noble even.
They feel that they are the crusaders.
...while in reality, someone uses their pain to make money off of it (never thought that Mike Tyson would become an ambassador of wisdom, yet here we go)

How, on Earth, did we all fall for social media, dating apps and videos "DO THIS instead," "Copy THIS," "You're not smart, here's why," "This exercise will make you 10 YEARS YOUNGER in 5 min," "No one will ever tell you that..." and "ALL Ancient Greek philosophy in 3 minutes"?!

Gay and proud are not the only ones who were tricked and now find themselves on the frontline of the war that they thought they have won long ago...

“Just the fact that people seem to be getting dumber and dumber. I mean, we have all this amazing technology, and yet… computers have turned into basically four-figure wank machines. The internet was supposed to set us free, democratize us, but… But all it’s really given us is Howard Dean’s aborted candidacy and… 24-hour day access to kiddy porn. People… They don’t write anymore. They blog. Instead of talking, they text… No punctuation, no grammar, L.O.L. this and L.M.F.A.O. that. It just seems to me that it’s just a bunch of stupid people pseudo-communicating with a bunch of other stupid people in a protolanguage that resembles more what cavemen used to speak than the King’s English.”

That very one scene from #TipToe that explains why tip toe, why this title, and basically pretty much explains the entire series with Alan Cumming and David Morrissey that was aired just now.

Has art as well become a retronym? Do we all now need to say 'real art', 'real genius' and 'real writing' as opposed to lifeless content, clickbait, neuro-slop, etc. just to say 'art' in the same manner as we say 'organic food', 'whole milk', 'acoustic guitar', and 'British English'?

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

'Retronym': when a noun needs a new modifier to signify its older meaning

(Like 'whole milk,' 'bar soap,' 'British English,' etc.)

Regardless of what we think of ourselves, how many examples from your own very personal and very your experience, you can point to, when it was said: "If there is anything I should know, tell me now," and you had the courage to step forward and to indeed just tell it.

[Xenia Hell @xeniahell]

And the most scene in the show so far has nothing to do with sex work. It shows that to step forward and tell a simple truth when it's needed — is one of the most difficult and courageous things that a man can do.

[Xenia Hell @xeniahell]

There were a significant number of movies about something that could be vaguely defined as truth terrorism and truth terrorists who commit it ...but this one — How to Rob a Bank — is different.
This one will be a new Fight Club and a new Matrix at the same time.

[Xenia Hell @xeniahell]

You know, Half Man is not going to be a new Fight Club... not a chance.

#HowToRobABank by David Leitch with Nicholas Hoult, Pete Davidson, Zoë Kravitz and Christian Slater — will:

The topic of human fracking and audience attention being more valuable than money is the next big painful topic after toxic masculinity, and men are not alright, and manosphere, and all that.

One more film to come on that topic is #Primetime starring Robert Pattinson:

Earlier, I thought that @chuckpalahniuk was the best and coolest writer about masculinity and manly bonds, but now I think that it's @mrrichardgadd
(not to diminish anyhow Palaniuk, of course, he's still as cool as fuck)
Is #Halfman — Fight club 29 years after?

Truth is supposedly easy to say.
Truth is not. Accusations — are.
Margo's Got Money Troubles | Episode 7: Lariat Takedown
Mark accuses Margo of being a sex worker and relays every single stereotype about what's wrong with OnlyFans models from a male perspective:

[Xenia Hell @xeniahell]

Simple truths don't have to be as dark as a drug addict's relapse, it could be as ordinary as: I'm gay. I'm fat. I'm short. Or illiterate. Or shit in bed. Or a virgin. Or whatever. Most of us like and prefer to think of ourselves as being able to, at least, admit it, while in reality, most people can't even physically pronounce something like "I am single" without immediately adding tons of caveats, justifications, and excuses, and adding something like "So what?!" or else making a song and dance about it. In the moment, just to say "I am [whatever]" could be unbearably difficult. And the more depends on that simple truth spoken out loud, the more difficult it is.

In comparison with books, though, TV series are much less demanding in terms of watching them until the end. It's much more acceptable to say: "I've started it but never finished" about TV shows than about books.
So, technically, yeah, I guess you can just watch the first episode of #TipToe and consider that you know what it is and what it is about.

One of the clear signals that you are dealing with art is that the moment when you realise that it has moved you and changed your life forever comes not at the end — however good or bad it is — but in the process, while you haven't even noticed it... and #HalfMan is exactly like this.

It's not the only show that matters, of course. One other, maybe not so great in terms of literature, but still a great one, television piece that hit me at my heart was Margo's Got Money Troubles.
I've changed my mind about webcam models and sex workers because of this:

Two new television offerings attempt to denounce stigma surrounding online sex work. Both fail to offer a truly nuanced, humanized narrative about modern sex work, Inkoo Kang writes.
