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...

i should have titled it "Why not to wear a skimask unless you are Pussy Riot" open.substack.com/pub/cintra/p...

Hot off my lap. True stories of the harrowing 1989 variety. We only came out at night. We liked motorcycles. We were: NIGHTCLUB EMPLOYEES. The photo below is real, by Dan Gingold. open.substack.com/pub/cintra/p...

I have found the Excalibur of magnetic chalkboard manufacturers.

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.

Sound hauntingly familiar?

Until we have replicators, we will need wealth redistribution.

Here is an essay on sucking vs. not sucking — onstage, at your job, anywhere. I’ve sucked before….not sucking is better. Here’s how. open.substack.com/pub/cintra/p...

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

This is the frustrating part. Its so easy to outnumber them. Why isn't it being done?

Trump has escalated his attack on Portland by deploying more Feds to Portland for the purpose of intimidating and silencing our community, so that we comply in advance with his fascist regime. Don’t acquiesce. Join an org, talk to your neighbors and build solidarity networks to keep each other safe.

Foucault has stopped fucking in the afterlife for ten seconds to notice this and puke his guts out.

Hello, UK Labour. I understand the appeal of getting into bed with seductively deep-pocketed US tech companies, but before you leap, consider this. And Palantir, whose owner promotes discredited theories of racial hierarchies, is even worse.

While you're at it, read Cintra. She is such a good writer.

Merrill Markoe is absolutely brilliant, and if you're not reading her, you should be.

"Humans can adapt to endure almost anything, but in doing so, they sometimes perpetuate incredible evil. The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism." Hannah Arendt - The Banality of Evil

Here’s a nice older piece about the kind of thing you can’t find in NYC anymore: a solid vintage store with good prices. I investigate. On the Substacks! open.substack.com/pub/cintra/p...

The shocking thing about the benign political voice of Ben & Jerry's being silenced by Unilever is that Unilever isn't even a particularly evil company. It's half Dutch, it's publicly owned. If multinational motherfuckers are censoring themselves in advance for Der Furor, they've given up on us.

Unless he takes his hat off, and lets someone draw orange balls on his bald head

‘Jerry wanted you to hear this from him. We built Ben & Jerrys to stand for peace and love. It was needed then and it’s needed more than ever now. Which is why Magnum Ice Cream must #FreeBenAndJerrys. #WakeUpAmerica

They should be forced to read this letter from a father (Roald Dahl) who lost his daughter to measles. fs.blog/roald-dahl-l...

Greed may support the opportunistic on earth for a time, but the souls of the greedy ultimately turn to white dog shit.

If you are anti-nature, you are against all Gods.

Put skye Blue and Julia Hart in these shirts

Eminems line from 2002 is very fitting for 2025
