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.

i would like to be connected with people who think about, or live/work at, the intersection of rural life and music culture--perhaps how they can support each other in some way. if you have any ideas :).

month ago i reckoned with dip being disabled, that we’d never go on our spiritual lengthy trots together again. i was very down. but recently…he just healed enough, and we did our old favorite walk together 💛 so sometimes wish come true. sometimes care and love work. here’s us

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.

love this cute upside to the pandemic which is that it is easy to reassure traumatized friends that there is literally no way to run into their abusers because we won’t be going to shows for years.

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.
