Soo, after 2.5ish years of Approved Pitches for freelance writers, I'm starting a second newsletter for PR and comms people (agency or in-house) called Placements. All the info here: bit.ly/3ib83ch #journorequest
Replying to @RaeWitte
Approved Pitches will break down the pitch and the process that turn into a published story and paycheck. Each newsletter will include the live story, original pitch and subject line, the relationship with the editor, the rate and context. bit.ly/sqspAPRW

I cannot stand someone that gives all of their energy to the fears. Give it a goddamn rest. Bravery is fucking fun. Trying new things is fun. Improving is fun. Failing is so much better than just sitting in fear constantly, my god.

I really do not understand why men (or anyone) find it so hard to challenge or check their male friends for their shitty, misogynistic behavior. I’ve deaded friends over the way they’ve mistreated their girl or ex even if I wasn’t friends with her.

I walked out of my apartment today and the very first thing I saw was a man pissing at a tree, no wall, no clear mental defects, not in between cars just facing the sidewalk and yes, death is the answer
Under my dictatorship men who spit on the streets and pee in public spaces will be publicly executed

Sure, Anthropic may have stolen all the world's intellectual property, destroyed the education system, incited mass layoffs among the corporate class, devalued all art and destroyed social trust but somehow they also managed to lose $80 billion in the first half of 2026

men that are obsessed with being treated like the good guy and the exception are often in denial that they’re the literal reason

I genuinely didn’t know how much space this took up for people (outside of incels) until this year
like at some point we’re gonna have to address that there is a large portion of people who’s entire world view and ideology is shaped by them being upset they don’t have sexual access to the groups/people they want to. it’s pathetic and sad as fuck and I see it constantly
