I’m amazed that child abuse has suddenly become a major issue for the left to wield against the right.
I’m amazed that child abuse has suddenly become a major issue for the left to wield against the right. Just yesterday, anti-trafficking, anti-child abuse, anti-grooming, and anti-sexualization were causes the right loudly claimed as its own, aimed almost entirely at the left. …

What started as shitposting has turned into a kind of accidental field study.
What started as shitposting has turned into a kind of accidental field study. By posting across Facebook, Threads, Instagram, and beyond, I’m no longer just talking to the same familiar circle. I’m pulling in responses from people I would never encounter in my day-to-day life in …

I started shitposting and accidentally built a social experiment. Pulling in voices from Facebook, Threads, IG—people way outside my Arlington bubble. I used to delete posts; now I let them ride. Monetization weirdly made me braver.
