Recent English lit PhD thinking about the intersections of pop culture & violence against women. I love cats, romance novels, pop music, and buying too many planners.
“Then they said she didn’t do it legitly” This getting a pass while Wood gets mocked for being silly goofy fun??? Wild.
TLOAS would be higher if I didn’t think the first verse was some of the worst writing she’s ever done. Eldest Daughter would also be higher without the verses—I think the chorus is fine actually, but the verses don’t work.

Just had the thought that the Eddie episode will almost definitely not be about him finally coming out and will instead be about his abuela dying or some evil shit like that. Let this man not endure trauma for five whole minutes, PLEASE.

I feel like this is an important aspect to emphasize, loudly, to everyone who endorsed Cuomo. they chose to side with a known sexual predator for personal gain and frankly that should be disqualifying for public office. you knew who he was and decided the women he hurt were acceptable losses
it's been a really bad long shitty time for people who care about victims of rape and sexual abuse, and those who've suffered it. drubbing someone who perpetrated it gleefully and believed he was entitled to power despite it is part of this.

The last New York City mayoral candidate to secure over 1 million votes was John Lindsay in 1969.
Zohran Mamdani will be the seventh New York City mayor ever to receive more than 1 million votes.

Catching up on 911 before the Eddie Diaz (who will be gay) centric episode later this week , and I once again have to say that May and Harry being regulars is so much fun. And I love May, Denny, and Mara running a makeshift shelter in the firehouse!

“Cancelled” is not a good song, it’s probably one of the worst on the album, but it is objectively the funniest response she could’ve had to people thinking she was dumping Blake Lively over the defamation stuff and even speculating that “Ruin the Friendship” would be about that

Harris-Walz ran exactly the sort of economics and “kitchen-table issues” campaign these voices recommend, adamantly avoiding identity politics.
Biden-Harris was a working-and-middle-class-economics-focused administration.
“Ah, but in 2020, Democrats said…”
Yes, that was the election they won.

Lately I’ve been on a KJ Charles deep dive and it’s wild how there’s not a single miss in the bunch. My faves (so far!) are the Will Darling books (I’m OBSESSED), but Any Old Diamonds blew my mind, and Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen + A Nobleman’s Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel were perfection.

So far the opening arc of this season of 911 is about Henren supremacy, happy paramedic Eddie, big brother Buck, everyone on the team and their families having lethal face cards, and the barely-fictional tech billionaire being just as evil and his tech being just as stupid as you’d expect. Love it.

With each new listen, I do think TLOAS has revealed itself to be more interesting and more accomplished than it seemed to me at first. It’s definitely been a grower for me, maybe more than any other TS album, but in a way the outsized negative reaction has made me reassess it more positively.

I wake up every morning to find my cat sitting on the bed next to me, staring at me and purring intensely. I can’t decide if she just really loves me or is planning my murder.
