Take Sex Seriously
by
The main premise of The Case Against the Sexual Revolution is that while freedom was gained for women in the sexual revolution, many things were lost that were good. Perry digs into this heavily in the first chapter which looks at how liberal feminism tries to say that sex is no more meaningful than any
Writing, Kindness, Substack is lame
by
Like this and want to keep it coming, become a member. How do we write, how do we act, how do we feel about platforms trying to own the relationship between writers and readers? Writing in Fragments Sacha shares their writing process and like many does a bit of lamenting about the lack of uninterrupted
Dual Boot Diaries
by
Found this series about Windows users looking at Linux. I’m just starting it but if you’re interested in Linux and you’re coming from Windows it can be a good resource. I did already watch this interview with the Framework founder and found it interesting that their laptops are just barely over 50% Linux according to
On YouTube Sponorships
by
While I’ve slowed down so much I may have well just stopped doing YouTube, I too rarely did sponorships. The big thing is that the request for the sponorship and what I had to provide would have increased my work by 2-3x and for that extra effort, hours sometimes, I would get 100-200 bucks due

On Pride and Purity
by

The Cost of Taboos, Freedom and Chronological Snobbery
by
I wasn’t quite sure what I was getting into with The Case Against the Sexual Revolution in this month’s book club but I’d say that it surprised me from the outset with some excellent questions I’ve been mulling over recently.
