i don't know what she did to convince millions of people that criticizing her was actually deeply harmful, misogynistic, and problematic but it's something about taylor swift that i need to apply to my own artistry and marketing

people only say "media literacy is dead" when someone doesn't agree with their specific take on said media

i wrote about myself, and how horrible everyone's insistence on using self help coded therapy speech is, and also how awful the people in creative writing grad school are lmao. i might write more things, or this might be the last thing i ever write: substack.com/home/post/p-...

interesting alert: i read a that isn't about princesses. it was about drug dealing special ops soldiers. loved it + feel my perspective has changed (a sign of a good book) but the gnarly deaths made me want to go back to princesses.

I have a project ready to be published on Substack- it's a horror novella about Taylor Swift going American Psycho on the Eras Tour but, with recent events, I should probably just write a cooking blog instead. Who wants to make chilaquiles from a recipe written by the whitest woman alive????

If you ever want to devote your idle time to William the Conquerer and the Anarchy, write a book about television! It will make you flock to anything with a castle, hot knights, and pretty jewelry.

I keep thinking that I am done reading about princesses- that my long-term project about contemporary culture is nearing completion, and that I can go back to good books about modern times. I download something good, and then immediately download 9x books about Eleanor of Aquitaine instead.

Kate Shapiro @godkatesusall.bsky.social · Aug 4

first they came for the statisticians and i did not speak out because i was not a statistician...

Kate Shapiro @godkatesusall.bsky.social · Aug 4

I figure this is the right place for this. Big round of applause for me paying off my car loan!!!!!!!

At least crossing the northwest passage will be much easier.

You shouldn't sell your sobriety so cheaply! Then after you relapse and get sober again maybe crowdfund a sober bar in Greenpoint.
