You asked for something positive... My wife runs a small nonprofit in Portland, ME, that works with asylum seekers (Hope Acts). Here is their most recent newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/7c2ca6563a77/roselines-story-4833037?fbclid=IwAR1K8WMkYZSetOplN5sgIBMpKxi4Kyvjj1qCowQD74xVk1JarS6FLUDUu1M

HAAAAAAAA! "The idea that Gary Fucking Vee is going to make another pile of money for lobbing his weaksauce mental bro thought grenades into the universe makes me want to fucking punch things"

This was the best line of the entire thing. I mean, the whole issue is amazing, but this is perfection.

Everything in this week's post is so fucking right on! Godammit girl, it's brilliant. And with the ball-out truth of the Gary Fucking Vee mention, I salute you. I too have nothing good to report but I will wish you a happy Labor Day.

You are so much fun. I look forward to every post. I did get my 3rd COVID shot last week. Staying safe and hopefully healthy.

My Fuck Yeah Friday is you talking about writing this book. I’m so there and while I’m not in stilettos, I’ve been gaslit and demeaned in tech too because I dared express empathy or used language to collaborate on a consensus strategy rather than just skeet my authority all over the workplace. Fuck dominance culture, the men who cover their lack of skill in ’tude and the women they elevate to gatekeepers to guard their egos.

But toxic masculinity is fucking profitable, Kevin.

Kevin Troy Darling's avatar

True, but sometimes I wonder if there aren’t more profitable models than drug dealing and addiction.

Fuck yes! Looking forward to your book!

It’s not Friday now but here’s a thing: Sonia Simone shared this with me (via newsletter) and I shared it someone who will Get It. 👌🏻

On. Fucking. Point!

The good thing I can share is you are not alone, not much but it helps me get thru the day sometimes. Thank you for your post today :)
