I can't wait can't wait can't wait to do a book tour again. nothing hits like the fight or flight of walking up to the front of a room and looking at a bunch of faces and being like "who are you? who am I??"

bad writing can lowkey be beautiful. not because the language is beautiful but because bad writing can reveal things about the writer that "good writing" would know to conceal or distract from. sometimes when reading bad writing I feel a terrible, thrilling closeness to the author.

UPDATE: I still don’t know necessarily what’s being said but there’s something IN this stuff like I swear my mind sentences are going crazy since reading it daily
I am reading Ulysses by James Joyce and as it turns out I don't know how to read

Fantastic piece “digesting” a fantastic album.

Weaves reflections on our collective consumption of slop and our consumption of god.

Incredible essay on spiritual affliction that brings together the lowly worm & the lowly pop genre:

"But the great animal representative of death and rebirth isn’t the lion. It’s the worm, the abbreviated anatomy of which lays bare that casual miracle under our feet: in goes death, out goes life."

Another incredible JP Brammer article about music, culture, and how we find meaning in a society that consumes everything. JP you can’t keep getting away with it!!!!

delighted to see such a visceral take on lux. its arrangements immediately suggest something ethereal and otherworldly but it's really surprisingly bodily/grounded

favorite little gem: a body is a thing that wants and needs and gets in the way!!!

Hey, if you’re struggling with one chapter, don’t worry: the next one will be in a completely different style

thank U my original essay was "A Pop Star Is a Kind of Nun" and I had some fun ideas in it but I had one of those blocks with it that's an "Is it really, though?" in disguise and I was like, true :(
