Have you ever seen a twitter thread (or, in this case, two!) that so perfectly expressed everything you’d felt over months and months of harassment persistent? With all credit to @blackblobyellowcone, who is clearly amazing and completely gets it– not just why us women write and read the erotica that we do, but the history behind the censorship we, as a gender, have experienced. Bravo.
This Richard Dawkins tweet is like. an evergreen source of humor but it also sounds 100% like something from Seneca’s Moral Letters
Seneca Lucilio suo salutem-
