When historians try to understand how leftist elites lost their way, "Health and Safety: A Breakdown" - a memoir by New Yorker writer and LSD/ecstasy/cocaine fan Emily Witt - will be an ur-text.
I have dated "Emilys".....the arrogant stories and "needs" they have and who and why they threw someone out of their bed.....was enough for me to walk away.
A man looked sexy with clothes on....but this person I dated, said once he "got comfortable".....she said "you can sleep here, but what am I to do with that". She worked for Paul Wellstone...nuff said.
my sister is an AWFL (Affluent White Female Liberal) and the only one in the family who voted for Kamala.
she literally blamed all the "unhappy" women for voting for the patriarchy after the election even though she is the only woman on psych meds.
i'll never understand it, i guess. she literally cannot face the day without pharmaceutical help, but demands everyone else change to be like her instead of taking 5 minutes for true introspection.
Okay, so I found myself laughing out loud at this article! Are you sure it's not fiction? Witt is a wack-a-doodle and one has to wonder how she's still alive.
Really enjoyed this. As someone born in Queens to an NYPD dad (Brooklyn South which included Park Slope) and Catholic School mom, I would say Alex is spot on. My parents moved to LI three months after I was born. I spent 29 years living on LI and the last 25 explaining why no one familiar with “the city” wants to go there. It has only become a pain the ass times ten since I left NY. I recently left my mom’s at 9 am to do a speaking engagement at 12:30 in Manhattan and was half an hour late. 4 hours to go 45 miles and I was technically in the city (Queens) at 9:45 am. The place wreaked of urine and pot. Even the places that are or were supposed to be cool were truly dives. Then again if I was high on all those various drugs she was doing, I might not notice either.
We should be grateful she has no kids... that DNA needs to become extinct with her passing. When she dies of an excess of drugs or is murdered, Netflix will undoubtedly produce something unwatchable about her "tragedy." I'm tired just reading about her.
What a horror show! Your description of Witt (ironic-with all her partying, I don't sense a trace of humor) reminds me of many of the women I worked with at my last job prior to retiring. I suppose that many of today's 40 somethings feel the need to extend their 20s for another 20 years. When does it end? I'm divorced and childless by cancer and I can't help but find her more typical than unique. It's as if she's trying so very hard to be interesting and fierce when she actually comes off as someone who is simply extending her adolescence.
Amusing, Alex, but someone like you writing about folks like Witt, I fear it only enhances and justifies their narcissism. (See? I'm important—oh, so very important!)
I noted the cannabis connection and believe it's serious. What is the real existential threat to democracy? Far left, crazed females who give feminism and female suffrage a really, really bad name. Bob Perkins, PhD. Pensacola.
Interesting! This is the same kind of analysis that libs do when they peer into the lives of MAGA supporters as if they are anthropologists. lol. Do more. I know you know others we can peek at in the same way. :-)
Alex, I didn't expect this from you, but I really appreciate the insights here. And you also answered the question I always have had after so many stays in New York -- "how do people who aren't millionaires afford to live here?"
Typical left wing -and usually white--females. Judgmental and entirely miserable despite their claims to the contrary
And because of that you know she was shitty in bed, despite bragging about it.

Not sure the % of coup-mala voters on psych meds, but it must be a farrr larger % than Trump voters. Anyone have facts on that?
56.3% vs 27.3% - roughly double!!

My guess was about that. Appreciate the info!

Me to, an insane pretentious witch. Wow!
What would a cage match with Witt and Taylor Lorenz look like?
Another LOL! Great one!
Hissing and crying at each other for 30 minutes isn't going to sell out the Cowboy's Stadium.

"Sex and the City" became to average looking female liberals what the Lord of the Rings is to Christian men and we are all somehow the worse for it
A damn shame these once great cities have fallen into the abyss of BLUE run chaos
Well, doesn't she sound just delightful? One can only wonder why "Andrew" would want to never be around her again.
No wonder he did more drugs than her.

"They used to move to Long Island. Now they move to Raleigh."
Aaarrgghhh! Get 'em off me! Get 'em off me! (I was wondering why I'd been noticing so many crackpots with NY license plates recently ... )
It would be funny if it weren't so sad. It would be a lot less sad if it were rare.
What a sad, pathetic existence. So glad not to be her. How DO these people stand themselves????
Its why so many psych meds are SOLD
Good Lord Alex, I freaking love the way you ripped off this band-aid!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Why did you even read this book???
Perhaps to see the inner life of the Kamala bullet we dodged. Yuck! I need a Peachy Keenan shower.
Good thing Alex does the historical/sociological research for us!
There was a reason 2,829 counties in America or 90% of the 3,143 counties in total moved to the RED.

Waving at you from Gulf Breeze! Did you go see Alex when he was in town?
Yes, Karen, I did. Were you there? Bob

So we wouldn’t have to?
You forgot to mention she will die young and alone, if she keeps this up. But, yea, she's single, independent and smarter than everyone else.
