Wrote about "super-procreators" like Elon Musk and Nick Cannon, pronatalists and how their views are often tied up in eugenics, and what exactly, is a breeding kink. https://t.co/O4fURRlHp9

"Something about watching her reactions and his sexual fulfillment was mesmerizing,” Scarlit said. “Like he was my own personal porn star and I got to pick the partners.” I love when I get to be nosy in the name of journalism: https://t.co/unEHz6DnCE

“We see headlines like, ‘What women can do about the orgasm gap.’ No one was asking: ‘What can men do about it? How can men help?’” Wrote about a new study that looks at how men can help close the "orgasm gap" https://t.co/M57mpP3xte

RT @KyleClark: "News that autistic people can't pay taxes is news to autistic people who paid taxes Tuesday" https://t.co/R6mJ1NSYo5

Spoke to autistic people about RFK Jr's recent claims about the lives autistic kids go on to lead and the idea that autism is something that needs to be eliminated or cured. "We don’t need prevention. We need inclusion, awareness and acceptance" https://t.co/2Q1BDtyblj

Wrote about why Kristi Noem and Alina Habba's "ICE Barbie" cosplay is so deeply unsettling. “It’s populist propaganda, to make the violence of this moment feel casual, everyday," an artist and educator who studies the aesthetics of fascism said. https://t.co/3AJxRKFkGq

I asked former Trump voters what made them walk away. For one woman, it was losing her job in DOGE cuts. Another said it was the "grifting:" “What kind of president sells bibles, gold shoes and a $100,000 watch?” https://t.co/PO2D95y6dm

A new study looks at how being a middle child affects your personality, and it’s good news. I talked to the researchers who said that being an only child has some perks, too. https://t.co/gX92ukjOir

I talked to therapists and incel researchers about what "Adolescence" gets right (and wrong) about how young men fall into the manosphere rabbit hole. https://t.co/e4sYQGQPQ7

Wrote a little explainer on how executive orders work. The TL;DR version: “EOs are supposed to be used to help presidents carry out their Constitutional duty to faithfully execute the law. To use them to do the opposite is hugely problematic." https://t.co/6k12Nx2J8F

Wrote about the Trump admin’s attacks on federal funding for libraries. “Make no mistake about it, the elimination of funding for libraries is a political assault on First Amendment rights, access to information, and the freedom to read,” a librarian said https://t.co/cMHRuttjZw

“Vulnerability is healthy, floodlighting isn’t,” said Brandon Gescheidle-Fein, a marriage and family therapist in Los Angeles. Written with empathy! I absolutely overshare (and end up regretting it, of course) in anxious moments: https://t.co/NhAJAHJzCW

Instagram wants to partner with middle schools and high schools to quickly address problematic posts on the app and crack down on online bullying. I talked to cyberbullying experts (and a teacher) about how effective they think the program will be. https://t.co/m1XQzhphiu

Even Jackie Robinson isn't safe from getting labeled "DEI" by the Trump administration. “The erasure of narratives like Jackie Robinson’s isn’t just about a website ― it’s about control over history and whose stories survive," @CLaurenMyers told me. https://t.co/UgcrAQl3Wm

I talked to a researcher whose new study looks into why Trump finger points so much, and how it plays into the president's particular brand of right-wing populism. I must say, I had a blast picking the photos for this one. 🫵 https://t.co/LoWtcVSnN9
