#GloriaSteinem, a #feminist icon, died yesterday. RIP. Here's a gift article for her obituary in The Atlantic magazine. I'll leave you with an instructive quote from the article about how girl culture is an insidious force controlling women's lives to their detriment, something Steinem herself was well aware of.

Needing approval, [Steinem] wrote, “is a female cultural disease, and often a sign of doing the wrong thing.”

mosab abu toha: “meta è contrariata dalla mia vittoria del pulitzer”

“Meta è contrariata dalla mia vittoria del Pulitzer” https://www.instagram.com/p/DJWXKgRNLJx/ (InsideOver)

Con queste parole, Mosab Abu Toha, poeta e scrittore palestinese originario del campo profughi di Al-Shati a Gaza, ha commentato la decisione di Meta di sospendere il suo account Facebook pochi giorni dopo aver ricevuto il prestigioso Premio Pulitzer 2025.

La sospensione è avvenuta senza preavviso e senza una spiegazione ufficiale da parte della piattaforma.

Abu Toha è noto per la sua intensa attività letteraria che dà voce alle sofferenze del popolo palestinese. Il suo primo libro di poesie, Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear, ha ricevuto riconoscimenti internazionali, tra cui l’American Book Award e il Palestine Book Award. Nel 2017, ha fondato la Edward Said Library, la prima biblioteca pubblica di lingua inglese a Gaza.

Durante il genocidio a Gaza, Abu Toha ha contribuito con articoli e poesie a importanti pubblicazioni internazionali come ‘The New Yorker’, ‘The Atlantic’ e ‘The New York Times Magazine’, offrendo testimonianze dirette delle atrocità vissute dalla popolazione civile. Nel novembre 2023, mentre cercava di evacuare con la sua famiglia, è stato detenuto e torturato dalle forze israeliane.

(il vocabolario è importante: come da tempo tutti annotano e sottolineano, per israele quelli catturati il 7 ottobre sarebbero “ostaggi”; mentre le migliaia di Palestinesi vessati e torturati, stuprati e a volte uccisi nelle carceri-lager come Sde Teiman, sarebbero “prigionieri”, quindi marchiati anche linguisticamente come criminali, tutti, bambini inclusi)

The #left has a major crisis in both the #US and the #UK. Many so-called "leftist" media turn out to be unconditionally #proIsrael. But #Israel under #Netanyahu is KNOWN to be far right state. #Chomsky even called it a Judeo-Nazi state.

#left, at least in the US, means #Liberalism which embraces #globalism, #socialjustice, #humanrights, #religiousfreedom, #racialtolerance, ...

Media, like #theAtlantic, are spreading #Islamophobic and #antiMuslim messages... What are they actually?

Another fantastic article by Arthur C. Brooks for The Atlantic which draws on research about how your future is likely to be happier than your past. That’s because of various psychological effects that come into play as you age.
Good news! I’m particularly looking forward to my anxiety tamping down and not being as triggered by negative […]

Arthur C. Brooks, whose writing I always enjoy, writes on sociopaths, narcissists, and ‘Dark Triad’ personalities. These Dark Triads are characterised by narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. They’re manipulative and harmful, and making up about 7% of the population — although interestingly significantly more of the male prison […]

I’m not sure about likening marriage to a business relationship, but after being with my wife for more than half my life, and married for 20 years of it, I know that this article contains solid advice.
Someone once told me when I was teaching that equity is not equality. That’s something to bear in mind with many different kinds of […]

At least in my circles, there’s been a lot of talk about parasocial relationships over the last decade or so. Usually, the discussion is descriptive and simply observing the phenomenon.
In this article for The Atlantic, Arthur C. Brooks does a bit of analysis in terms of seeing parasocial relationships as a type of avoidant behaviour.

The term parasocial […]
