A fun new piece about my decade long strike against men. Needless to say, they never caved in to my demands. open.substack.com/pub/cintra/p...

A new post from an old article about the massively expensive French shoes and foreboding store atmosphere at Pierre Hardy. Who says shoppers need light? open.substack.com/pub/cintra/p...

Ever love a car so much you want to eat it? I do all the time, and think you should too. New Substack, fresh and hot. open.substack.com/pub/cintra/p...

Here’s a fun New York Times throwback to the Tom Binns boutique, where punk jewelry once ran amok. I heckle a shopgirl for being worthless. open.substack.com/pub/cintra/p...

This Zizek Substack is OUT OF THIS WORLD. All the Lacanian views on mimetic desire, Peter Theil, technocracy....Oh Slavoj, you big slob. Come give me a big sloppy kiss. slavoj.substack.com/p/conclusion...

The richest 0.1 percent of the global population are hiding nearly $3 trillion in offshore accounts to evade taxes — more than the wealth held by the entire bottom half of humanity. It would take about $93 billion per year to eradicate extreme hunger by 2030. Taxing the rich is a global necessity.

I believe Tiger Woods may be categorized under @cintra.bsky.social Cintra Wilson’s term “ultra fame scorch victim.”

It’s the first leg of the Michelle Shocked tour, and I am launched rocketlike into some weird parts of Florida! Read it and feel the mirth. On the Substacks! open.substack.com/pub/cintra/p...

I’m embarking on my tour with Michelle Shocked today! But first, a love letter to the tattoo shows that sustain me spiritually. Selah. open.substack.com/pub/cintra/p...

A golden oldie from my seemingly endless repository of snarky fashion shite that the NYT miraculously published. French fun! open.substack.com/pub/cintra/p...

Enjoy the spectacle of me tearing my own ass out because I keep making the same horrible mistake over and over and over, like I have no brain at all. open.substack.com/pub/cintra/p...

Here’s a zippy piece of writing that got me in huge trouble with the British aristocrat that owned the franchise, when it came out. Peerage schmeerage. open.substack.com/pub/cintra/p...

"The characters he plays are generally weak, immoral, murderous, slimy or insane. Yet to gaze upon John Hurt, in almost any role, is to feel a drooly adoration; he is irresistible." – @cintra.bsky.social [via @dean.bsky.social] Hurt #botd in 1940.

A new essay in which I make a stunning artistic announcement. I’m going to be all up in your face! open.substack.com/pub/cintra/p...

Another blast from my stint as Critical Shopper at the New York Times, containing many bon mots and yuks. On the Substacks! open.substack.com/pub/cintra/p...

Played by Daniel Kaluuya (very good and suitably charismatic, if a bit old) in Shaka King's excellent JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH (2021), worth a watch if you haven't seen it. Also features LaKeith Stanfield and Jesse Plemons.

A scathingly personal, raw but optimistic new essay about my fucked up life, for your year-end enjoyment. Plus a new painting! open.substack.com/pub/cintra/p...

Hahaha. I so hate Fucker Carlson and his 12 pound nougat head.

THE BRUTALLY FUNNY, RADICALLY MORAL WORLD OF LETTERKENNY some @cintra.bsky.social for your holiday cheer

A post so nice I accidentally made it twice! Get your Letterkenny on here. If you haven’t gotten your Letterkenny on before, rectify this immediately. open.substack.com/pub/cintra/p...

I thought people would be less assholic on here because they're liberals, but guess again.

Someone should ask Rep. McCaul why he doesn’t speak out about ICE abducting children and separating families on US soil…

WHY NOT TO WEAR A SKIMASK by @cintra.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/cintra/p...

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

I am teaching a new essay workshop starting THIS MONDAY, NOV. 24. This class is magic. Your words will glow with power. Contact me quick, only 2 slots left!

You could call an AK spraydown an heuristic approach to murder.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

I wonder why that could be. Oh, old white men want to be in control of their vaginas.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Looking east near the summit of Parkfield Grade. Hardly a road or building in sight.

Until we have replicators, we will need wealth redistribution.

STAGE FRIGHT open.substack.com/pub/cintra/p... another great @cintra.bsky.social bit

Here's a real blood and guts review I did of Reed Krakoff's eponymous fashion line for the New York Times. It ended up killing him, almost. open.substack.com/pub/cintra/p...

That concept may be considered overly sophisticated for the American context.

Militant Optimism is the only way out of this. That, and the detached ability to see civilization crumble with some kind of perverse sense of humor.

This guy is my spirit animal, forever and ever

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

this would literally fix us
