is the new generation doomed? a deep dive in how the manosphere is radicalizing young children

i wrote an essay last week analyzing the @netflix.com show adolescence and talking about how the manosphere is radicalizing young children, which is such an important conversation to have! please give it a read aurorablythe.substack.com/p/is-the-new... #substack #writing #feminism

happy monday! how are you doing this week? 🥰

i’m getting closer to my 29th birthday and last night i had a dream where a girl in her early 20s called me old and i cried 🥹

it’s official: i deleted my twitter account 🥳

hey guys, i’m currently working on a high fantasy series and wanted to ask: what tropes are you tired of seeing? and what do you want to see more?

thank you!!

keeping up with all the social media apps is so hard, but I'm still trying. anyway, I just launched the paid subscription for my blog/newsletter, and it's 30% off for a limited amount of time, so you should subscribe now! I'll be super grateful 🥺 aurorablythe.substack.com/subscribe

The thing is, while celebrities and rich people have access to treatment facilities, medication and all the doctors/therapy money can buy, poor folk are dying because of it. That's the difference.

Disgusting.

While POC are sent to jail, lose their lives, and struggle for the rest of their lives with addiction, rich white people think it’s cool to do drugs and use them as aesthetics to obtain financial gain. How unreal is that?

I don’t understand public figures who glamorize hard drugs. Yes, I’m talking to you Charli xcx.

Her new vinyl with white powder is gross and just shows how we’re failing as a society.

back to work today and it’s being tough getting back to my normal productivity. i’m just staring at the screen with no idea what to write about 🫣

awesome!! i’m reading war and peace too

i’m actually enjoying reading w&p so much!! yes, there are a lot of characters and it’s confusing but i started writing down the characters as they appear so it’s a lot easier!

yes, just finished! king of scars

2025 will be the year that i finally read war and peace 🫣 i’m scared but i’m so readyyy

have you already finished a book this year?

yeah, that’s what gives me peace of mind hahah

setting my gr goal to 100 books 😮‍💨 it’s a lot and i have no idea if i’ll be able to follow through, but it’s a nice challenge!

wishing you all a fabulous 2025 💫

in the last day of the year i’ll be reading and relaxing 😌 what are you guys up to today?

i fell in love for this actor after watching a series he was in, so i did what i always do: went to his instagram. and he’s the new superman??? what the fuck!!! i wanted to gatekeep him but how amazing is that! hopefully he’s not another incel 🙏🏻

ugh i feel you! i always end up rewatching my comfort shows, ngl

have you watched abbott elementary? it’s a sitcom of public school teachers and it has the best slow burn romance ever 🥰

good morning! how are the 2025 preparations?

just had the last everything shower of the year! i’m so ready for 2025 💫

honestly i can’t wait to get back to work 🥲🥲🥲 i know i should cherish this time to rest but my ambitious brain thinks differently

the week between christmas and nye always gives me so much anxiety because i want to do all the things!!! i want to start using my new bullet journal and planners!!! (yes i said planners, plural. i’m crazy like that 🤪)

loml 🫶🏻

it’s 6pm and i slept all day 🤭 only in december..

the best thing about having a staycation during the holidays is being able to lie in bed all morning with the cats 🐈
