I think the comment sections of many “progressive” media should be renamed to “white and wealthy middle classes judge other people’s lives devoid of context of survival strategies or personal circumstances while hiding behind the alibi of "social commentary”“. (see the comments on the post about waxing I already raged about for a glaring example).
For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you. Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
