You can drink all the raw milk you want but all you wind up with is diarrhea. That’s what the conservatives are selling young women- pure shit.

TY so much for a fantastic follow-up on one of my (and many others obv!!) fave substack essays all year tbh. Feels insane to be living in a time when separate spheres/domestic sphere isn’t just in history books but is an accepted social policy 🙃🙃

That's so kind, thank you! And yes, it really does feel so unnerving.

This line: “revelatory lifelines etched into our palms by god, previously unknowable but rendered divinely legible through one Chosen Influencer’s quest to decode them.” SO GOOD. Thank you for the footnote shout-out, I wish I had had this piece when I was making the outline for today’s episode! A masterpiece.

Thank you so much, Katie! My treat for finishing this beast of a piece is going to be listening to your episode (and then spending a week healing my sanity after exposing myself to so much of this lol). Very excited!!
