Blood Will Out by Walter Kirn and The Stranger Beside Me by Ann Rule (which I wasn't fussed on but is fascinating for the way she used their relationship for her own ends).

66. The Surfer. Look, I will genuinely watch Nicholas Cage in anything but this is a terrible, terrible movie.

One Battle After Another has been getting a lot of “best movie of the decade” talk, and I’m inclined to agree but I’m curious — what’s the competition?

are swifties okay
patreegs on instagram says You need to listen to it once completely through while driving a car alone. Then you have to listen to it indoors lying down. THEN you pick a few and listen to them WHILE you read the lyrics on your computer. You WILL find that you misheard some of the lyrics. DONT panic. Its COMPLETELY normal and healthy. DONT think about taylors life yet and DONT try to make sense of the lyrics and DONT panic if you dont like some of the songs at first bc your brain will LEARN to like them (evolutionary mechanism). THEN, continue listening on loop as needed but have 2-3 that you sometimes just listen to on repeat. THEN re-emerge into the world and connect with others about their response to the text. THEN apply practically to your life. THEN examine how they fit into taylors. At this point you can start to lightly engage in online discourse if that feels healthy and safe.

This is not just about me or my book. This is about respecting and valuing actual journalism. Our ideas, our contacts, our ethics, our reputations, our hard work – that’s how stories like those in my book first come to light. If you don’t respect or value any of that, what do you respect and value?
