IG notes keeps asking for my controversial opinions like it wants me to fall out with everyone I know? Well joke’s on IG because all I can muster is that I don’t really enjoy or particularly rate Ben Lerner’s fiction and although my ethics would align me with veganism, I continue to enjoy meat.

watched the film 'Fried Green Tomatoes' at my local film club for the first time last night. truly a wildly madcap film, and extremely of its time. i can't imagine anything similar being made today. gratifyingly pretty much passed the Bechdel test too

So many small occurrences in the past few days prompting me to ‘hot take’ but I guess hot taking internally and saying nothing more about it is a valid option.

What struck me most about the Manosphere doc is that a lot of these men probably don’t believe in their own rhetoric — they’re just desperately trying to find a way to make a buck in a f***ed up system.
