Coming home to Chicago used to feel safe for me. The attack on the city and its suburbs by DHS where Latino communities are located breaks my heart! I also feel very scared for my own safety and family as a Latina.

It’s an album where she goes to extremes — doing for sequins and glitter what Folklore/Evermore did for fuzzy cardigans.

I always really enjoy reviewing Taylor Swift's work and try to give it a measured read. I think Swift is a serious artist deserving a serious response! So here's my Showgirl review www.npr.org/2025/10/03/n...

On 'The Life of a Showgirl,' Taylor Swift feels love's glow and the spotlight's glare

On her 12th album, the most dominant pop star of our era makes a spectacle of herself in full flower, in love and holding the music industry in the palm of her hand.

I think it's sexist to continually characterize Taylor Swift as someone playing the victim. Let her be what she clearly wants to be: THE VILLAIN

Your reminder that 29.3% of all revenue from indie bookshops immediately recirculates in the local economy 😊

That's 4x more than Amazon.

When you buy audiobooks through Libro.fm, you're supporting not only your indie, but your local economy.
