The Daily Whatever, August 11: Plans and Plot Twists

The Daily Whatever ·

2025/08/11

GenX is scrappy, resilient, curious, and knows how to roll with the punches. When it comes to tech, we tend to be early adopters—and here at genXy, we resemble that remark.Dana DuBois and I are using a new tool called Restream (if you’re interested in learning more, go to Restream.io and check it out. Use code RESTREAM20 to save 20%, and tell them Lawrence Winnerman sent you!) to get more features and quality for The Daily Whatever, and our Saturday premier was rife with challenges.

2025/08/07

Dana DuBois recently published her article about middle-aged men ogling her daughter, and it caught fire and jumped into red-pilled Substack.One of the results was that our good friend, The Opinionated Ogre saw the trolls harassing Dana in the comments section, and wrote an article of his own, massively taking down the misogynistic MAGA assholes who felt the need to share their creepy ideology:Our conversation today was spicy, and as much fun as our conversations with Ogre usually are.

Back in 2023, I launched a tiny publication on Medium to create a community for storytelling and advice for parents of gender-nonconforming kids.I hoped other writers would find it and want to share their stories.Not in my wildest dreams did I hope to find two amazing writer/editor/thinkers like I found in Melissa Corrigan, she/her and Sophia Kelly Grace, yet somehow, they found me—and together, we created Pink Hair & Pronouns.So much has changed since the summer of 2023, and not for the better for

This morning on The Daily Whatever, Dana DuBois and I had a great conversation about her latest article, “I Had a Little ‘r’ Relationship”. It’s her fascinating take on a six-year relationship that met a lot of needs—but not all of them—and which never turned into a Relationship.

Every Friday, Lawrence Winnerman and I invite a very special guest to join us for Fucked-up Friday, a weekly competition for the most fucked-up news story of the week. This week, the amazing (and very color-coordinated) K.R. Byers brought his A-game to the competition!Here are the stories we each pitched:* Dana DuBois: Substack Has it’s First Plagiarism Scandal. If Substack doesn’t have a clear, firm strategy on how to manage plagiarists, how can it thrive as a platform? Also, report and block

You know how sometimes you meet your online heroes and they turn out to be total disappointments?Today was the exact opposite.Because today we welcomed one of my Substack heroes— Dr. Amber Hull—to The Daily Whatever. And she was even more incredible in real life! While we originally invited her to the show to discuss her response to my sorta-viral story Middle-Aged Men Keep Ogling My 16-Year-Old, our conversation veered from expatriating to butt stuff to HRT to sex education to misandry to writing

2025/07/29

Of the many joys I’ve found here on Substack (seriously, don’t laugh!) one of the most surprising to me is the elation I feel when reading excerpts of my novel out loud for the chat on our Lives. I had no idea how rewarding that would feel, but here I am, awash in the post-orgasmic glow of yet another successful read, and ladies and germs, let me tell you, it rivals sex. Today, I read from chapter 3 of Light Shines Through, my queer dystopian sci-fi novel that I’m serializing over on Lawrence

Please subscribe and restack Füsun’s work, and if you are able, please contribute to her recovery fund.)The great thing about this Substack adventure Dana DuBois and I have been on is the sheer volume of great people we’ve met. From the awesome Whatevers in our Chat, to the many guests we’ve had on the show, it feels like a smorgasbord of good, funny people. Even better when we get to meet them on Dana’s

Y’all! How lucky am I?! While Dana DuBois is away on another Top Secret mission hunting Nazis, I had the incredible, delightful Cat and Soso join me for today’s The Daily Whatever.Cat and Soso host their own show, called Connections with Cat and Soso, and it’s a DELIGHT. Check it out:Ostensibly, our topic was pets and support animals, and, indeed, for a good five minutes, we talked mostly about the Bengal cats that run the show for Soso and me, but we were quickly derailed by Epstein.I mean—it’s all

What conversation about the way men treat women in our society wouldn’t be complete without a living example in real-time? Dana DuBois featured one of her most compelling—and popular—recent pieces about how grown men are treating her teenage daughter, only to have the Chat invaded by an asshole who has been stalking women in our community. After re-blocking the schmuck, we had a chance to dive deep into Dana’s excellent story:The Chat was full of observations, love, and support. We had some truth
