  • My love of fountain pens, explored.

    I am (unapologetically) fixated on stationery and notebooks. A lot of my feelings about notebooks can be found here [1], but my love for stationery (specifically nib pens) have never really made it to this blog. Until now. I can’t really post pictures of all the pens I’ve collected through the years, since it feels vaguely more braggart-like…

  • In No Regrets, women writers talk about what it was like to read literature’s “midcentury misogynists.”

    This isn’t just about the books. When young women read the hypermasculine literary canon—what Emily Gould calls the “midcentury misogynists,” staffed with the likes of Roth, Mailer, and Miller—their discomfort is punctuated by the knowledge that their male peers are reading these books, identifying with them, and acting out their perspectives and narratives. These writers…

  • Maybe it’s time to think about it (Feminist Questions)

    /positively brimming with ideas/ 1. Is there such a thing as false feminism? In a lot of ways, this is answerable by no. False feminism, much like false activism (hacktivism, armchair activism etc.) was coined up out of the tangle of sincere-to-insincere motivations of feminists and the effective-detrimental effects of a feminist action. But if we value…
