New post: “So maybe this is me resisting Tr*mp & his tech bros, their complete lack of empathy, and the monumental breakdown of decency. Or maybe this is me resisting consumer culture because I need to create and words are the only thing I have.” open.substack.com/pub/oxfordco...

Pro-Oxford comma. Uses adverbs too much. Writes about motherhood, life after law school, religious deconstruction, and whatever else I feel like that day. First novel in the works.

This is a fascinating article on the “Spotification” of music (I think I just made up that word!): “What does the music you’re not making sound like?” Listeners might wonder something similar. What does the music we’re not hearing sound like?”
Is There Any Escape from the Spotify Syndrome? — The New Yorker
