I'm not gonna lie the secret to success for a great many people is absolutely stimulant abuse

Daniel Sloss SAID IT THANK YOU DANIEL SLOSS

Reblogging again now that Russell Brand's ugly mug is back in the news to remind everyone that in the 2023 Times expose on his abusive behaviour, Daniel Sloss was the only male comedian willing to be named and quoted like "yeah that dude's a scumbag and women have been warning each other about him for years."

"It you are sick of the narrative thats currently going on about men, feel free to change it." Godddd, this. To every man who has ever said "not all men!" what exactly have you done to make that a reality? Because just sitting there saying "well *i* never raped anyone" isnt enough. That doesn't cut it. That is NOT changing the narrative.

The narrative about men is only going to change if men step up and fucking change it.

Call out your mates when they make sexist comments. Put a stop to the bad behaviour of your male friends.

And the other part of this video i want to highlight is the part where he said "if you think this doesnt affect the women in your life, its not because its not happening to them. Its because they dont trust you enough to talk to you about it."

What are you as a man doing to let the women in your life know that youre safe to talk to about this shit? What are you actively doing to prove in advance that youre a trustworthy man?

I remember when MeToo had its brief moment before Hollywood and the media shut it down. Men were saying "psh, these statistics are all so overblown. I dont know a single woman who has been assaulted, but the stats are claiming practically every woman has." And then people told those men to go home and speak to their wives. To ask their daughters if anything like that had happened to them. To phone their sisters and mothers and ask if theyd ever been harassed or assaulted by a man. To check in with their female friends and ask the same questions.

And some of those men went and asked the women in their lives. And any man who did was shocked to their fucking bones to learn that almost every single woman they know has faced some form of sexual harassment or assault. That in fact for women, this shit is fucking constant.

If you are unaware of the sexual harassment/assault that the women in your life have gone through, its not that they havent experienced it. Its that they dont trust you enough to talk to you about it. So what are you going to do to change that?

So when people say that poetry is a luxury, or an option, or for the educated middle classes, or that it shouldn't be read at school because it is irrelevant, or any of the strange and stupid things that are said about poetry and its place in our lives, I suspect that the people doing the saying have had things pretty easy. A tough life needs a tough language—and that is what poetry is. That is what literature offers—a language powerful enough to say how it is. It isn't a hiding place. It is a finding place.

sometimes I marvel at my new Sunday routine - I propel myself towards the library, not a church building - and all the shades of grief and disappointment and gratitude layered in it.

sometimes I think feminism increased men’s entitlement: they get a false sense of confidence and security from barely skimming feminist theory and laud themselves for becoming a full fledged enlightened sensitive egalitarian men. then when they still objectify and treat women like garbage (because they didn’t actually internalize any of it) they feel doubly outraged because the gold star they got for participating should have protected them from any woman calling them on their shit

also, I definitely need to decide what to do about my almost three-year long situationship that has transcended continents & keeps me awake at night

writing to you from my local library ... !!! I'm delighted to report it is full of people of all ages, although I'm glad I came later in the day because usually there are no desks and studying on a tiny ledge / coffee table isn't ideal.

it's Saturday, the sun is shining (autumn hasn't truly arrived here yet), and I just had an iced oat latte and a bagel at my favourite vegan cafe.

sometimes you have to romanticise your life - no one else is gonna do it for you - and you have to let the sweet sorrow of a new season linger in your mouth, just a little bit longer.

being single sucks [remembers that romantic love isnt the gleaming beacon of salvation that will fix the chasm within me] #mychasm #isupportmychasm [remembers not to trivialize my emotions] but it is painful to never have been deemed worthy of that kind of lasting love [remembers how many incels there are] but honestly you should be totally self-sufficient and never want anything ever [remembers that im evil] im evil

reading Anne of Green Gables for the first time is so funny bc Anne is primarily a sweet, eager, earnest, dramatic, imaginative child who’s taking the world with open arms and loving life, and also she’s trying to explode Gilbert Blythe with her mind

In a patriarchal society, it's no surprise that the idea of feminism that got popular was that your submission, pain, compliance and degradation as a woman can be empowering
