      for context, “donkey farms” is shorthand for wooly-headed small-scale thinking, not Rationalist

      Ah, a version of the YCombinator pejorative “lifestyle business” tailored for the nonprofit sector. How droll.

      so how has that been working out for you so far “jenn”?

      OK so I was a bit unfair on OP

      she’s got a weird blend of stuff on her site: https://jenn.site/ Her recollection of her closeted dad is quite moving, but there’s an awful lot of Rationalist virtue-signalling.

          I am not saying it’s all bad, I’m saying there’s a tiny amount of good.

          Also, from the piece

          It’s very uncharacteristic for modern art museums and the commentariat to not engage with the sexual themes or undertones with works on display, they’re not exactly prudish institutions!

          next para

          this is literally the first art show I’ve been to in my life that was prestigious enough that there is coverage and discourse about it.

          ok then

            Sorry, I guess I phrased my reply badly, I get what you mean about the weird blend (and the article you linked is actually well written), but having seen that dog fucking article I felt the need to inflict the horror on others so I wouldn’t be alone.
