Oh wow, I need someone to talk to about Taddeo losing it on Instagram. I found it so inspiring at first (even wrote my last post about how liberating it was to read!) but I've recently seen dangerous mania up close and I think she actually needs help. She is going to undermine all the good she is doing if she gets locked up and sedated which looks highly likely at this rate.
Hi Rochelle! Oh my god - you really think she's going to be locked up and sedated? What a horrifying thought, harking back to the old days of women being strung up, burned, stuck in mental homes for speaking their mind. I do think the only people who are currently mad are those who, in the current world situation, are 'not mad'. Not MAD. Not furious! I'm going now to read your post! xxxx
Thanks for reading my post, Jayne. It seems her Instagram has been taken down or deleted! I agree that being mad is the sane response to the world right now. Very hard to stay on an even keel in these terrible times. x
Also - I didn’t see the Taddeo thing - don’t even know who she is. Which goes to show I’m an inept Instagrammer which I’m not unproud of - but remember Orwell saying in the 1930s that the best things we can do now is stay sane? It’s got to be the foundation of our resistance.
Lisa Taddeo - author of Three Women et al. She went on a wild instagram rant, posting every minute for a number of days, calling out the industry for bad behaviour and silencing, claiming her own genius and superiority, naming names and generally wreaking havoc, it was quite superb. The kind of lucidity and man-like bravado that once got women put in the Salpêtrière
lol honey you ain’t missing out on much. Now I wish I’d read it! But if she was talking about the US, it’s very very different to the Penal Colony - the little one down here anyway … The tit was great. Wish I’d got that from HRT - no amount of hormones and croissants can help me …
Ooh I love your post! And yes I think the whole self-aggrandising thing is BRILLIANT. If they can do it why the fuck can’t we. In a way the feeling I had is whatever gets women attention, whatever distracts the eye and mind back and away from the dick brigade, is a good thing. she seems bloody healthy and well to me!
Et la clôpe - n’oublie pas la clôpe.
jamais!

Which industry? The writing or tech industry? (Also - heatwave already?? And - let’s Zoom)
writing! the world of big lit we have the privilege of not knowing. yes insane heat. zoom imminent!

hehee evidently
Yes, staying sane must be the priority! Being an inept Instagrammer is indeed admirable.
heheee agreed!
