The 'ick' heard round the world
Also: E. Jean Carroll's secret Trump book, a group chat for naked selfies, an anti-speed dating event, a Sapphic pop moment turned hetero, and more in the weekend roundup.
Happy Sunday! Maybe like me you’re recovering from a day of protesting yesterday and are ready to snuggle up with some links. I’ve got you.

E. Jean Carroll has been writing a secret book about Trump, and she’s currently living in a cabin in the woods with a shotgun named Aphrodite (because “she’s long, lusty, and lethal”). Journalist
writes:She wrote the new book, she said, in part to show others how an “old woman,” in her words — “not extraordinarily bright,” “not really political,” “not well organized” — could defeat the president. She wanted, she said, to show others “how it’s done.” Yet she’d also told me, not long ago, that she would not advise other women to come forward. For many, the price would be too high, she’d said. … “You understand,” she said, “I don’t care if somebody shoots me. You understand? I don’t really care. I’ve had a nice life.”
