🚨 SOME PERSONAL NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🚨 my boy band book is being adapted into a FANGIRL DOCUMENTARY by director GIA COPPOLA, jason bateman's aggregate films and oscar-nominated studio XTR
back in NYC and as i was getting into my Uber some dude yelled “do you know where you’re going, bitch?” and i yelled “all the way to the top, asshole” and now i feel invincible and completely out of character happy new year to that guy !!!!!!!!
do you ever think about how hayley williams was the only woman afforded space in the pop-punk/emo bubble burst of the 00s & she was inarguably better than every dude combined & now has grown up so honestly & dynamically nothing we did as fan really warranted such maturation?
The calcium in our bones and teeth likely came from stars exploding in supernovas and scattering this mineral across the universe in massive quantities, according to a new study
nyc people: what is the furthest you’d travel for casual boning and/or a relationship? when i lived in williamsburg i regularly hit up a dude in midwood and now i’m realizing that was insane????

how are abusers held accountable after allegations arise? with the right rehabilitation, can they reenter music spaces? what is next, and a bunch of other questions:
my last interview of the decade was with louis tomlinson for apple music (!!!!!!!!) he was insightful and delightful and i wish i could've transcribed the entire thing. you can read it now, liner notes-style, while listening to 'walls'

yesterday i got off the megabus in center city philly, walked to a bar near geno’s, and a kind person walked up to me and said EXCUSE ME DID YOU WRITE ‘LARGER THAN LIFE’? I’M A HUGE POP FAN. i almost fell over! that has never happened and probably won’t happen again!!!!!!!!!
fans******* her voice is completely idiosyncratic and her own and most men of the genre and time adopted an untalented "ugly singing" tone and that is a sexist luxury across all rock/pop music i'll never forgive
MY BOOKS ARRIVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ('larger than life: a history of boy bands' is out july 21: . i'm even more excited for y'all to read it!!!!!!!) i cheered at the ups man and he was like 'ok' and then backed away quickly!!!!!!!
this is a radio single in 2018. a song about how isolating and embarrassing depression is, how selfish and universal and toxic and unavoidable and transparent being a Sad Person is !! are you fucking kidding me? only she could do this
unfortunately when i hear "black parade" my brain will forever jump to WHEN I WAS, A YOUNG BOY, MY FATHER, TOOK ME INTO THE CITY and that's a me problem
i never made an official announcement but i'm a senior writer at jezebel and have been for like three months now 😎 maria.sherman
