Bones, bodies, your feelings and your facts — NOTE: This article discusses racism, eugenics, white supremacy and genocide. Why are black people inferior, a bunch of very racist white men asked each other in the 1850s. There must be a scientific reason for it, right? There has to be something inferior about them. They live in mud huts…

Satanic Panic has largely been acknowledged as nonsense. Apart from this case — EDITORIAL NOTE: I’ve decided not to name the person in question as I believe them to be mentally unwell rather than malicious. I’ve changed some aspects of their life for that reason. Everything in this piece is my opinion and should not be read as accusatory in nature. Martha White appears neat, unassuming, and soft spoken. She folds her hand in her lap and begins her story, one thousands of abuse survivors initially would find similarities in. A violent father who killed her pet dog. A cold mother who looked the other way. Strange visitors who did bad things. Nothing I, or I hope anyone with any decency, would question in the confidence of a person speaking about their trauma. But that is where my sympathy ends.

What is causing this crippling paranoia of the West? — The wind sweeps in low across the thick snows and weeps around the edges of the village. In the dark thickets of the Siberian forests, nothing meets the glimmer of gaslight but the slur of night and the unforgiving cold. And somewhere, unseen, sweating and licking and heaving and hungry…

Sex work and the morality of income: yes, yours too — There’s a Yiddish song I’ll share with you: You’ve got to give the butcher his sher (dance)/ no matter what you buy or what you wear/ You’ve got to give the butcher his lot/ for being everything you think you’re not. Opening Remarks to the Court of Public Opinion For little strips of green paper, money has a…

I know- seeing him tonight, it’s a bad idea, right? — He’s great, so let’s start there. Solid kind handsome genius. This wasn’t the guy who was horrible to me, the guy who used me for sex, or the guy who cheated on me. I don’t have a smug, told-you-so story where I throw red wine over his bouquet and the waiter clapped. We just had supper. On a week day. Quietly. As friends. To be honest, I’m not sure ex is even the right word. We never slept together. Came close, but he felt uncomfortable being with someone so young (I’m 27). But of anyone I’ve really met in the last two years, he’s the one I felt sad about losing. He’s the…

It’s horrible to walk when you like someone: but it is important — It is a truth universally ignored that trying to persuade someone not to be bored by you never, ever works. It doesn’t matter how loving you are to them, how beautiful your new hairstyle is, or how patient and gentle you are with their apathy towards you. I know it’s nice to imagine that on the other side of that ‘space’ is a time they realise they miss you and care about you: but really, you’ll just have drifted even more. If someone is tired of you: please, please accept it.

No, you really don’t need a six pack — Author’s Note: if you don’t want a lady’s personal opinion or you feel great already, awesome, proud of you. This is exclusively written for men who do want a bit of advice. Ladies; I’ll work on an article for you. Comrades! I get it’s scary being told by Andrew Tate…

They will make a desert and call it peace. — Tacitus — This death will be glorious, says the man to his son, This death will spill your red rich blood And choke in the mouths of the ones I call enemy. This death will be glorious, says the man to his son, This death will spill your white small bones And…

Men are naturally logical? Women are monogamous? What? — Before you mansplain to me, and I know you are desperate to, I specialised in human behavioural ecology (HBE), evolutionary psychology, sex selection and human evolution and genetics for my BSc. So if you’re going to come at me with your TikTok gender facts, I will destroy you and devour your flesh with a sadistic, gluttonous hunger unknown to all but the giants of Goya’s nightmares. Just so we’re clear, babydoll.
