It’s so gross that some mom’s do this to their kids. FFS, only people with sinister intentions would pay $10 a month to see pictures of some stranger’s child on instagram. These moms can’t be so naive to think otherwise.
"The ghost of Plath is the godmother of the afflicted woman trope, haunting us from the poems written before her suicide: “Dying / is an art, like everything else. I do it exceptionally well … I guess you could say I’ve a call.” [...]
I built my own career on a collection of essays that simultaneously interrogated the trope of the afflicted woman and enacted it, presenting a narrator who drank too much and starved herself, got heart surgery, got an abortion, got hit in the street. The book seemed to strike a chord. You really made yourself vulnerable, people would tell me. I admire that. Yet there was also a critic who wrote that the book “portrayed women as inherently vulnerable,” and that this made her so angry she ended up shouting, “Oh go [expletive] yourself, lady!” into her empty apartment. She went on, “I worry about making pain a ticket to gain entry into the women’s club.” Her ire tapped into my deepening anxiety that calling a woman “vulnerable” in relation to her writing was a way of praising her not for her artistry but for her exposure — for her willingness to make her fragility a public commodity."

People have described your dynamic as father and son. Is that how it feels to you?
DENIS VILLENEUVE: At the beginning, I had a lot of empathy for Timothée that he was stepping forward in a production of that scale. He’s the age of my kids, and I was trying to find ways to take care of my new friend. Maybe I was paternalistic.
TIMOTHÉE CHALAMET: I was grateful. The scale was so large, the actors were such titans. I felt a protected aura.
VILLENEUVE: When he walked into the set of “Part Two,” it was totally different. Much more confident. Much more solid. He was not impressed by the size of things anymore. You were jaded!
CHALAMET: No!
VILLENEUVE: It’s the first time that I had the chance to see an artist growing up in front of the camera. That’s very moving.
One of the UNRWA employees suspected of being involved in the October 7 massacre kidnapped a woman and then participated in the massacre at the kibbutz. Another UNRWA employee distributed ammunition. This is according to an intelligence report that Israel handed over to the United States. According to the report, a total of 12 of the agency's employees participated in the attack, and Israel claims that ten of them are Hamas operatives and one is an Islamic Jihad operative. Seven of the workers who were involved in the attack are UNRWA school teachers. The New York Times was able to reveal the identity of one of the workers who participated in the massacre, who serves as a warehouse manager.
PROTESTERS STORM THE NEW YORK TIMES TO PROTEST BIASED COVERAGE OF ISRAEL'S GENOCIDE IN GAZA
📹 Scenes from protesters who stormed the offices of the New York Times in Manhattan, New York City, to protest the "paper of record" for the United States, whose biased coverage of Israel's war of genocide in the Gaza Strip has heavily favored the Zionist entity.
Early on in the genocide, the New York Times published false rape allegations against the Hamas resistance movement that supposedly used sexual violence against Israeli hostages.
Not only did the story turn out to be misinformation, but the writer of the article turned out to be an "ex" Israeli intelligence agent who had never worked in journalism previously.
