  1. Prikvačeni tweet

    I wrote a book about sex, lies, and the women who tell those lies. BuzzFeed says it’ll change your life. Buy it here:

  2. I take the bus a lot more now that I live in Brooklyn — it’s the best way to get to Greenpoint/Williamsburg, where I have a lot loved ones — and the news buses themselves are great (clear stop announcements! USB ports at every seat!), but omg, if they came every five minutes?

  3. I’m listening to the latest about the bus and daydreaming about how much I would love taking the bus in NYC if every bus came frequently and had a dedicated lane.

  4. To be fair I have only met my dad’s cousin once and gotten zero financial gain from the relationship, unless you count a free dinner.

  5. ME: Everyone in media is some rich kid legacy propped up by family wealth! Not me though! ALSO ME: BTW my dad’s cousin is a Hollywood big shot.

  6. A while back one of my friends revealed that she’d had a pony as a kid and I was 🤯

  7. Also I get why pubs are weird about being transparent about their rates but you should at least be open about what your floor is.

  8. You only see *paying* as something to brag about if you are practically asking people to do work for free.

  9. HOT TIP: Any publication that says “We pay!” without posting a rate does not pay well.

    What’s so depressing about this is that this is a conversation that absolutely needs to happen, but there are still so many people who still to refuse to understand even the basics of consent/assault & so bringing up this nuance becomes a nightmare.

  12. Iowa isn’t even remotely representative of the country, or the Democratic Party, at large, and this narrative that winning Iowa == the people’s choice is disturbing.

  13. The degree of power we give *Iowa* is really fucked.

    YES this! My therapist once told me something that changed how I think about sex: sometimes you don’t consent to yourself. I would say “yes” to sex and I would mean it, but my actions crossed my limits. I was pushing myself to have sex w/o thinking about whether I was ready

  17. Sometimes people adopt the language of assault and survivor because it’s the only language they have access to that feels like it validates their trauma and pain. I don’t think we should fault hurt people for latching onto the only tools available to heal.

  18. Honestly, part of the problem with the Aziz Babe piece was that our language is so limited that the only words there were to convey that he acted in a way that caused someone harm were “sexual assault,” when, you know, obviously there was a massive ocean between him and say, CK.

  19. Sex and relationships are messy and complicated and difficult and I wish we could carve out more space for one another to have a range of complicated emotions about our experiences.

  20. It’s frustrating when the conversation you want to have is, “Hey, I know I agreed to this but I didn’t like it and it made me feel bad,” and the response you get is, “NO TAKE BACKS I’M NOT A RAPIST YOU SIGNED THE CONSENT CONTRACT.”

  21. The fact that someone was harmed and traumatized doesn’t mean there has to be a villain in the mix. Harm does not require intent to occur. But our limited framework for discussing injury prevents us from seeing that, which prevents people from accessing healing.
