Grace Lavery / Joseph Lavery & Daniel M. Lavery / Mallory Ortberg - "Straight with extra steps" couple trooning out to avoid "dwindling into mere heterosexuality"

He'll surely make a post promoting Mallory's essay soon too, won't he?

Joe has always seethed that Mallory is a successful author that has a public audience while he is just another anonymous professor publishing in academic journals and presses that only has a tiny audience of other academics. Joe would be x100 more comfortable and happy being "the writer" among Lilly's artsy fartsy crowd of art history and MFA grads. His tiny little candle is dimmed by Mallory, but burns brighter near Lilly, which is why he prefers her and had a baby with her. He likes being with Mallory to humiliate and degrade her because he finds her "chick lit" success loathsome and it makes him angry his writing has never and will never appreciated, he's stuck in the publish or perish yawn fest.

Maybe Laura sent a card or letter when she heard her sister’s husband is having a baby with his girlfriend.

That was my immediate thought, that Laura sent the wrong thing (it was BLUE) or sent it the wrong way (didn't call Mal "proud pappa"?) or was slow to call or left a voicemail that tripped over a woke crack in the sidewalk or... or did/said nothing because Mal didn't call/text to announce birth and Laura thought that meant she should hang back?

Or worse yet, Laura hinted that Mal could turn to her if she decided to leave the polycule life. BLASPHEMER!!!

That shit happens enough in families that don't have a whack job like Mal in them. Ahem, not that I would know about that personally.

I'm guessing there hasn't been any investigation because anyone who looks into it for two seconds realizes that Sabaah is nuts

The idea that Noah was getting busy with his son is pretty messed up and not a theory that matches any scholars' interpretations of this passage. The word translated as "saw" is different from a later word used in Lev. and Deut. usually translated as "uncovered," and only the latter is used to imply sexual activity. It's obvious that this passage is about simply visually seeing drunk, naked Noah because if it's about incest, why are the other two going backward to cover him? But of course, Mallory sees gay incest everywhere.

Mal's probably pissed that her family didn't congratulate her on Bobby Joe's birth, buy some overpriced designer shit for the kid, and/or give her a "welcome to fatherhood" moment. Never mind that 99% of families would not be joyous that their daughter/sister's husband knocked up some sidepiece, and might remind her that she has no biological link or legal responsibility to the kid.....no matter how cute.

I mean, sure, she's trashed them all over the place, hasn't been speaking to them, and apparently still has inexplicable wrath towards them.

WHERE'S HER PRESENTS, LIKE THEY GAVE OLDER SIS WHEN SHE SPAWNED, HMMM??

(Please ignore that apparently Mal didn't even give Joe a celebratory "Happy Mother's Day" tweet. She wants her shit, her "inheritance", if you will, and this is yet another way that her family is unforgivable.)

What bei_rav said, but I speculate a simpler explanation: Austen/Brontes are commonly taught in high school. The others you mentioned (most of whom are in or near my top tier, though I appreciate the mid 19th c and before as well) are not so commonly introduced at that level (yes, exceptions, etc.).

Adding to this, depending on the curriculum back in the day, they might be the most prominent (if not only) female book authors the kids read. Add a touch of Emily Dickinson and a dash of Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and there’s the geriatric millennial female reading list.

Just so they ditched Silas Marner. First novel on earth, mebbe, but def pedo handbook, little Eppie's golden curls. That damn book warped me into the raving extremist kiwi child-defender I am today. Any child of mine will have a shaved head at least until the age of 34 so wandering weavers don't keep . . . I can't even.

Isaac wants to maintain the conditions of his placid ignorance, Rebekah wants to undermine her husband on behalf of her favorite child, and in that sense they are both able to help one another make a success of parenting.

This was the sentence that stood out to me the most. It's not really a piece about siblings but about parents. The parents of Genesis, both the ones she mentions and the ones she leaves out, all create the conditions of favoritism, competition, and material want that drives animosity between siblings (who sometimes have different, competing parents ........ in a sort of polycule situation ......... that always pits the kids against each other and against their parents). "The success of parenting," to Mallory, is about the selfish wishes that parents force on their kids, and she doesn't even accept the fact that children CAN sin against their parents, that just because their parents made a shitty choice doesn't mean they aren't owed respect and care. Noah did not deserve to be humiliated by his children just because he had already humiliated himself, and Lot did not deserve to be raped because he didn't seem to care if his daughters were. None of us are free from the consequences of others' sin, but we can still expand our understanding of "am I my brother's keeper?" or "who is my neighbor?", the two central questions that the Old and New Testaments answer. She also leaves out Joseph playfully fucking with his brothers who tried to kill him, because his foresight and careful planning were not about depriving them of their rights (like she thinks Jacob commendably does) but preparing for the day when they would need help.

Anyway, she hates her whole family and doesn't see that Genesis calls readers to avoid prolonging strife if at all possible - because it hurts your kids more than you.

How sad for Mal. This isn't even an article, it's just excerpting the original claim with zero additional info.

I found this reply pretty funny, where Mal demands a random person remove their decor.

I think I saw that on TV. Brian Cox was Lot and Sarah Snook was Mallory.

LMAO. The whole reason for that ridiculous post is the website owner noticed Mallory’s old pinned post trying to signal boost the insane woman’s ramblings. It took over three years for someone shameless, or dumb enough, to finally repost them. Mallory has a sizable following and plenty media contacts yet this is the only person who has ever decided reposting the ramblings of an obvious loon was a good idea.

I wondered how many reporters or content creators Mallory sent this crazy pants shit too. They were happy to run with her own accusations against Daddy, but I guess even this couldn’t pass the smell test for even the most eager and giddy witch hunters. I figured it’s why Mallory ended up pinning it to the top of her Twitter in frustration.

I still hope SabaahJauhir-Rizvi* shows up at Mallory’s front door to be her new best friend and help her relight and stoke the daddy bonfire flames. Getting more “fuck dad” tattoos just isn’t scratching that itch anymore.

Sabah has a long, spicy history stalking, harassing and making crazy accusations against people she interact with, inbetween inpatient stays and outpatient treatment at psychiatric hospitals. I’m curious if she spent an hour with the throuple who would end up getting accused of rape and who would be the rapist’s helper.

*the raving lunatic that claims she has been raped, usually in front of a few women audience members, by every male authority member she’s ever been in a room with. It’s actually hard to even decipher if she’s even met half the people she’s accused of rape.

Bobby Joe is innocent!

My bet is on Tard Baby. She has rapist genes after all.

Lot did not deserve to be raped because he didn't seem to care if his daughters were

That's an [x] from me, mate.

He will not!



But he is promoting Lily's new thing, part of the same journal/org he highlighted last time. He is also participating.



Gobbledygook about how the Paris Commune wasted time doing art projects (and killing prisoners) instead of thinking about logistics like supplying the city or creating an effective military strategy. That's not what she says, but it's the subtext.

Mallory posted this screenshot of a text exchange on Instagram. It's unbelievably fucking awkward!

There's a different ASAP 2024 hosted by IEEE in Hong Kong this July -https://www.asap2024.org/. That cracking sound you heard was my neck as my head Linda Blaired 270°.

IEEE has a PhD forum collecting papers and I blundered into that site only to learn the registration chair is Donglong Chen; sponsorship chair, Patrick Hung; finance chair, Shiqi Wang. Yes, it was a while before I wondered whether I was where the polyculeans could never tread because IEEE requires actual, relevant knowledge be conveyed.



Neck also broken by Donglong Hung Wang?

This person has never read about what the Paris Commune actually did. I'm not even sure they've read Marx's fanciful version of it. The Commune never actually got around to seizing or distributing anything, they couldn't even find enough people for all the seats on it. Their dreams of new bureaucracies were mostly ignored, even in Paris.

This entire thing is something I would consider "luxury" and "surplus accumulation" and wonder why they think it was necessary to produce in a society they believe already produces too much and so needs white cishets to curtail for all.

But they issued DECREES! That were followed by some people for two months before they all died!

The failure of the Commune proves that art is a luxury, no matter how much we wish it were not. Also the only "art" they really accomplished was tearing down existing works for imposing "violence" on them (i.e., commemorated Napoleon).

 

[Dromedary]

Imagining Joe and his bitches enduring a societal breakdown like the Paris Commune is funny to think about. Traipsing many miles hoping for a piece of elephant or zebra to eat from one of NYC's zoos. Blood and dirt on their tacky high fash garments from 3 seasons ago. They hate capitalism even more now because the rent's gone up and their underemployed slob asses be evicted soon.

Joe's looking more an more like obese + deceased pervert fashion goon Leigh Bowery every day.

Damn. I was feeling bad for her when that picture of Hand-In-Mouth Misery came up a few pages ago, but seeing this post just eradicated all sympathy that had built up through proximity to Joe's inane retardation making him seem so much worse. I can understand falling under the sway of a charismatic narcissist (whether they later transform into blobs or not) and how some people just aren't built to understand when they're being taken advantage of, but despite everything Mallory's gone through thanks to him goading her into demolishing her life, she's still seething about her dad and everyone else, even as all the magic has fled the relationship and it's turned into this horrorshow? I guess I shouldn't actually be surprised with how she keeps clawing for the slightest scraps of vindication about the whole situation, raging that she never got to have a big hero moment for ruining her family over what's turned out to be a nothingburger, but it's still disgusting. On the upside, it makes every single bad thing that happens to her funny instead of tragic because she really has no excuse for not knowing any better, so thanks, Mal, it's a good reminder how much you deserve being labeled the Tard Baby.

I hate to be the boner killer, but mostly it just turns my stomach with empathy pains for her parents who have clearly been through hell because of Mallory.

I hope the funny part comes back to me! I hate to see clueless, immature adult kids rake parents over the coals for being good parents. Mallory has no clue what a thankless, difficult thing it is to raise kids.
