I’ve never met Rico IRL. But he invited me on his show to talk about loneliness and masculinity, among other things, based on my tweets. It was a good conversation, and the kind of thing that will be hard to arrange once Elon is done burning his social network to the ground.

Watch me read this . In raking Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez across the proverbial coals, Freddie deBoer does an excellent job demonstrating not just one reason the left stays losing , but three in total. (I wrote about her last year in AOC addresses the burdens of masculinity .) Lefties stay losing because: 1. They’re allergic to collaboration 2. They’re afflicted with cool-kid syndrome 3. They priori...

Watch me read this . On the second day of NLAS Vasiliy Kisunko, Senior Organizing Advisor for the ACLU, taught us how to craft a message.  The first thing to know is how a message differs from a frame. Frames are broadly shared stories and contexts. They’re very difficult and expensive to change. For example, a frame is what people picture when they hear the words “American Dream.” Good messaging...

Watch me read this. Today, my babies, I write to you from our nation’s capitol. I’m here because the Center for New Liberalism flew me (and my boyfriend and Huntsville New Liberals chapter co-lead) out for the New Liberalism Action Summit - D.C. (NLAS - D.C.). My dad asked if I’d be speaking at the conference. “No!” I told him. “I get to go for free and I don’t even have to speak.” Then a week bef...

Watch me read this. Howdy my babies. I’m in DC for NLAS and then staying a bit after to see friends and family in the DMV. I’m going to focus on seeing things and people this week. As you cope with my lack of posting, I’m sending you thoughts and prayers in this trying time. I’ll miss you more. See you again on the 20th. Sex and the State is a newsletter at the intersection of policy and people. L...

Watch me read this. Kite & Key Media has a new video on why falling birthrates are no big deal. Globally, birth rates are down by half. In 1952, the average family had five kids. As of 2022 they had less than three. In 2021 Pew reported that a rising share of U.S. adults who weren’t parents said they didn’t think they’d ever have children. Are falling birthrates are good, bad, or neutral? I think...

Watch me read this . Especially as an Autist, it’s extremely satisfying to classify people — healthy or BROEKN, abuser or good partner. Same for behaviors. But the Jonah Hill situation reminds me that, like most things in life, abusive vs healthy is a spectrum, not a binary. And it’s highly contextual. We could start by defining abuse as any behavior that hurts another person. But people hurt each...
