What gets me is he calls her a “young girl” dismissively at the end, like, yeah dude, you’re 35, married, and were creeping on someone only a year past being a teenager. The lack of real self-interrogation is astounding.

Yeah, I just wrote a novel for a book packager, but they’re a boutique kind of place, not licensed IP. I’ll have to find some others to send my portfolio to.

Love it. I can’t quite tell, but are those wings made of sampaguita? (The national flower of the Philippines.)

The style seems to be is a callback to mid 19th century styles—a barong tagalog with trousers. I wish I could see the hat!

Howwwwww do I get a gig writing one of these? I love the idea of exploring the SW universe outside of the central characters and conflicts.

I have IDEAS.

One thing I’ve learned from drawing self-portraits is that I have a weird face! It’s, like, Adam Driver-level asymmetrical. It makes it hard to draw without the image looking wonky. No, I promise, that’s just my face! Ok, part of it is that I’m not a great artist, but a lot of it is my face.

Amanda is so amazing! Their art just blows me away. I really hope we get to do the whole book. Submissions have been a little heartbreaking--all "we love it, but..."

Johnny Cash is an icon of coolness. This is so stupid.

Johnny Cash. The Man in Black. Wrote “Folsom City Blues.” Made his version of a Nine Inch Nails song the definitive version.

“Deeply uncool”?

Who the fuck is this dork Jon Fasman?

Compared to Dylan and Springsteen, country-music legend Johnny Cash can seem deeply uncool. It took time for me to appreciate his profound, plainspoken strength, writes Jon Fasman.

I say this as a quiet woman of color: There are white woman who will simply steamroll over anything someone like me has to offer in a conversation, and that’s the kind of woman I suspect she is.

People once got mad at me for speculating that she is one of those people who suck the air out of a room because they have to be the center of attention.

I feel the same way about Frances McDermott.

T.S. Eliot could have watched The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show.

Though, mercifully, he could not have watched Cats (2019, dir by Tom Hooper).

If my name were Taylor Swift I wouldn’t write a song playing on my name called “Elizabeth Taylor” about crying. I’d write a song playing on my name called “Jonathan Swift” about eating babies.

I’m sure Taylor Swift would be devastated to know that I’m not really digging her new album.

Stephen Miller: "Eventually elections don’t carry the day because violence beats votes… When we see a muscular response from the federal government, it’s because we’re not going to let violence beat votes."

Is he implying federal intervention determines political legitimacy, not ballots or courts?
