everyone remembers don’s “i don’t think of you at all” as the most brutally scathing mad men line but what about meagan’s mom telling her something like “that’s the problem when you have an artist’s temperament but you are not an artist”

if you're making a music doc please hire a music journalist to at least help out your story producer! a doc that's just commentary accompanied by a string of biological facts is not a narrative, and a music journalist can help turn musical analysis into story

a divine intervention of music journalism came to me last night (please see: my IG stories) and now i am very curious if David berman ever watched sex and the city (to its conclusion, season 6)? appears it might’ve inspired a purple mountains song and this is rly important to me

oh for sure. i'm just being a drama queen for fun 🤪 but its so intense i'm like...hello... knock knock its devastating? maybe if the listener doesn't immediately locate a person in their mind that song attaches itself to its easier to passively enjoy but...couldn't...be....me🌊

extremely upset this has come up a few times lately with big and scary consequences. please if you know someone who’s so drunk they can’t stand up. escort them home. do not let them Uber alone. make sure they land somewhere and watch them. this is real life. the stakes are high.

i still think about this segment, which would be basic if it was about any other cultural region, but was unusually profound in its humanity towards Palestinians. say whatever you want but this was important and i wont take his cultural journalism for granted
thinking about bourdain’s episode in palestine today. CNN almost didn’t air it but he fought like hell to keep the episode and share their stories since mainstream media so rarely gave the opportunity to empathize with the every day of palestinians.
