Love in the Time of Conspiracy Theories 🛸
The deep state fuckbois are out there.
patreon: So, you’re dating a flat earther...
Y’all know how it goes. You meet someone, start dating and eventually reach that relationship crossroads where you have to decide whether the sex is good enough to justify staying with someone who refuses to watch “Sleepless in Seattle” with you because Tom Hanks obviously drinks babies’ blood.
As if dating weren’t enough of a crapshoot, now you’ve gotta weed out the deep-state fuckbois!
British Vogue dubbed it “The Rise of the Conspiracy Theorist Boyfriend,” and he’s exactly who you think he is:
…Jessica was happier than she’d ever been with her new boyfriend. But just before Christmas, with their relationship mostly relegated to long phone calls and texting sessions, he started saying weird things. “He thought it was possible that 5G caused Covid and he thought the idea of Hillary Clinton being in a coven was both funny and plausible.”
Yes, friends. Conspiracy theories are so hot right now, they're "thriving on dating apps" and in divorce court alike. So I grabbed my red string and asked WHAT COULD IT MEAN?
THANK YOU THANK YOUUUU to this week’s newest dearest patrons Julie, Mike and Sarah!!!

Calling all unladylike architects! (Curbed) As we learned in ep. 99: How to Protect Abortion Clinics, one of many challenges to expanding or opening new locations—even in abortion friendly areas—is finding architects willing to work with providers given the risks of harassment from anti-abortionists. Enter clinic architect and friend of pod Lori Brown:
if you are an architect and are willing to be included on a list to assist abortion clinics in states where abortion remains legal, Jordan Kravitz and i are creating a list. please let us know. ASAP. lbrown04@syr.edu. spread the call. #ReproductiveJustice #architectureLori says more than 100 architects from 22 states and DC have signed on and architects of all backgrounds are welcome.
“[I]n honor of Matt Gaetz publicly body shaming me.” (Jezebel) In response to [insert any number of fitting pejoratives here] Rep. Gaetz tweeting out her photo alongside his go-to “feminists are sexless fugs” schtick, Olivia Julianna fundraised $50K and counting for the Gen-Z for Change abortion fund. Chef’s kiss.
RIP, Full Frontal. (The Ringer) Remember when late night TV was supposedly diversifying beyond white dudes in suits? Yeah, lol.
Please do NOT “Value Them Both”. (Vox) Next Tuesday, Kansans will vote on whether to rescind the state constitution’s right to abortion, and polls suggest it’s gonna be a squeaker. Any Kansas unladies out there? How are y’all feeling about next week’s abortion amendment vote??
unladies are saying:
You don’t realize the amount of pro-life people that ended up in my clinic. I literally saw [a regular clinic protestor who] swore to us, “This is different. A baby would ruin my life right now.” . . . I kid you not. She was in my clinic on Tuesday, and by Friday, she was out on the picket line. Deadass.
