    'It's too soon to give up and get messy-drunk on the spirit of the age. We might win.' On depression, and exhaustion, and resistance, and hope.

  2. Hey, British friends. Remember I had to have my appendix out in the USA in September? Well, I’ve got the final bills through for that. Go on and guess what I’ve got to pay- and bear in mind that, thanks to my union, I have more or less the best insurance policy you can get.

    The trolls have taken control of the attention economy and we are all in for a ride. Take some time to let guide you through the mayhem - keep your arms inside the cart!

    There are only 6 kinds of tweet: 1. I feel drunk but I'm sober 2. I'm young and I'm underpaid 3. I'm tired but I'm working, yeah 4. I care but I'm restless 5. I'm here but I'm really gone 6. I'm wrong and I'm sorry, baby

    There I go again, forgetting that the real point of feminism is deciding who the best feminist is. Because what we need isn’t economic justice and sexual freedom, it’s another way to pit women against each other and make us fight in a cage of shame for crumbs of power. My bad.

    There’s an incoherent rage every time a woman who is young, romantically successful and conventionally beautiful dares also to be an intellectual, a brilliant thinker, a creative success. It’s as if she’s broken the rules by not also being a ditz.

    But when you write or live out of your own shame and jealousy, it just demeans everyone involved. It’s also intellectually lazy, and it really boils my piss to see it. We should be celebrating the hell out of each other.

    And I get it! I do! I’m a writer and a critic and I’m *not* conventionally beautiful or romantically successful by any standards but my own. JT looks and comes across a lot like some of the girls I was afraid of at school, the ones who had the lives I thought I wanted.

    If the fact that a writer like JT is talented, successful, good-looking and happily married makes you angry, I tyou ought to think about why rather than waste time carping on about the things she isn’t. She’s the Joan Didion of the age. Get over it. Well done her.

    But I’m so sick of young women trashing each other, however elegantly, for daring to be accomplished and successful. The review points out that JT writes deeply about smaller, more domestic subjects, that’s she’s not always the most radical, that she dares to be beautiful, too.

    I know I’m late to the party on this, but last night I read that mean-spirited review of in the and I’m still angry about it. Yes, we get it, is a brilliant writer and everyone I know in a similar field is jealous.

    Despite being overbooked, I’m going to be writing more on my Patreon this year. It’s the only place that in any way replicates the fluidity and freedom of livejournal. If a column or an essay is a public talk, Patreon is more like telling an anecdote to a friend over tea.

    Everything I have been working on for the past year is 95% finished. Writing: when you find yourself asking for reassurance that you’re still a worthwhile human despite not having published a great deal recently.

    I can’t say too much about it, but my current TV-writing day job is a real bootcamp. I’m learning a lot. I’m also barely able to do anything else, which is a shame, as I’ve agreed to do a great many essays. And I WILL do them. I just need to remember to eat and sleep.
