Well, apparently the SEO was right -- I knew something was vaguely wrong with my life, but I couldn't figure out what it was. Feeling much better now. First of all, it's a delight to read you so giddy. Cheers on the new job & all best wishes.
Second, that's absolutely wild about you seeing the formation of 'chan, and thanks for the recommendation of the "Escaping the Rabbit Hole" book. Incels have always seemed to me one of those intractable problems for just the reasons you say -- if you laugh at them or say anything negative about them at all, it only confirms their outsider stance -- and I'm so glad to hear that folks are thinking about approaches. I guess in a way, my whole whale/guy in a wolf t-shirt thing from today is a little about this too.
And finally, thanks for the shout-out, and the foxfuckery, which was, I gotta say, pretty spectacular. I can see how this one would stay with you. That is one vixen who knows what she wants & is *not* afraid to show it. :)
What, people liked it when you were miserable? They read this one and were like, screw this well-rested happiness shit, I want my authors bug-eyed and clutching their coffee mugs for dear life? Fuck ‘em, man.
Trust me, there is a narrative where artists are supposed to suffer, and not make money, and a lot of people are invested in it. I mean, why would we buy How to Sell a Best-Selling Novel and Buy an Italian Villa otherwise.

Thanks. I lost a few subscribers, not sure if it's something I said or just normal attrition.

Thanks for the shout out, Tom -- and congrats on the new gig!
Thank you!
