Gut Shabbos and Shabbat Shalom especially to everyone who understands, now more than ever, that Jewish safety will not come from spreading Islamophobia and othering other communities.

loving the puerto rican representation at the grammys next year but umm did we need to nominate chris brown? really?

This should have happened already but based on this campaign Cuomo should be shunned from public life forever.

sadly this will only get worse until trump is out for good

🕯️🕯️ you want to hire tatiana to write for your publication so bad 🕯️🕯️

some news: i'm affected by this round of layoffs at paste so my last day will be nov. 14. it really sucks to have this happen right before the holidays. now looking for full-time and part-time work opportunities so please reach out if you have any leads

Tonight, come celebrate Halloween one more time with ANTICS at Union Pool, featuring cover sets of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Morphine and Deftones!

chicago isn't real. what do you mean you can rent an apartment in the wilco towers for just $2,400?!

animal collective is one of my all-time favorite bands and feels means a lot to me, so it's a massive honor to be able to do a cover story on the album for its 20th anniversary www.pastemagazine.com/music/animal...

this year so far:

BREAKING from PP We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens* The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied: Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado www.propublica.org/article/immi... by @nicolefoy.bsky.social

my 13th reason why is when people call antics a zine. it costs soooo much money to make it look like the same quality as any major print mag please don't call it a zine. love zines this is not one

shoutout to nathan fielder

You could read @mckinneykelsey.bsky.social’s excellent take or you could trust @rollingstone.com’s four star review given after they fired all their critics (conveniently shared in Taylor’s Instagram stories!). I’m going to choose the former and certainly did not click on the latter.

i've done a lot of writing this year and while i've spent a lot of time editing (both for antics and paste), here are some pieces i haven't shared here that i'm very proud of:

Quick post this a.m. because I've just read @tatianatenreyro.bsky.social lovely take on a brilliant album; also this article made feel a little bit old 😂 www.pastemagazine.com/music/coctea...

i'm just wondering if we're listening to the same album bc this ain't it

FUCK YESSSSSS AND FUCK G/O!!!

i don't know how much reach bluesky has but anyway if you're in nyc, wanna get a copy of antics issue #4 and are into jordana and godcaster + are curious about @graceroso.bsky.social's music picks, come hang out with us at cassette on friday! 7pm-10pm grace goes on first so you better be there early

The new issue of ANTICS is almost here, featuring our cover stars Wednesday, and sharp features on shame, Asher White, Ganser, Hotline TNT, Pool Kids, Water From Your Eyes, and much, much more, all beautifully designed by YHWH Nailgun's Jack Tobias. It's made with love. Do enjoy. www.anticsmag.com

Working with Tatiana and the crew of writers and artists we have at ANTICS is endlessly inspiring, and I can't wait for you to read our new issue. Featuring Wednesday, America's Band, on the cover.

i wrote about this in the press release but ANTICS has always been dedicated to championing trans talent, whether it's through working with trans writers or photographers or featuring trans musicians. that will never change

i finally get to unveil the cover of ANTICS' new issue! out digitally on patreon now and in print on wednesday (heh) cover story written by @graceroso.bsky.social, photography by charlie boss. graphic design by yhwh nailgun's jack tobias

A CBS Chicago reporter has claimed that an ICE agent fired a pepper ball at her truck outside a detention facility, prompting a criminal investigation by local police.

does anyone else get that feeling where you interview one of your all-time favorite bands and get anxious because now you're part of their world (even if it's in a minuscule way)when they carry such a big place in yours

As Netanyahu addresses the United Nations in New York City this morning, the world recoils in horror at the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

asher makes the best argument for *not* being media trained. every quote of hers is gold

we need one quarter page ad to be able to publish our next issue because we got another quarter page so there's a little gap. it's the cheapest option of all the ads so if you're interested, please reach out and ANTICS 4 will be out asap!

not loving the trend of THR having pro-israel assholes writing guest columns

I wonder if Ezra Klein, Gavin Newsom, the New York Yankees and The View ladies will issue statements condemning this

i appreciate @stevenhyden.bsky.social saying what everyone's been to scared to admit. i didn't like the lucy dacus and japanese breakfast albums despite loving both artists and thought i was crazy after reviews were positive. i liked big thief and csh though stevenhyden.substack.com/p/its-a-bad-...

not me getting teary eyed thinking about how one of the last albums david lynch listened to was perverts

antics issue 4 is coming very soon and i'd like to get it into stores in canada and the uk. if anyone has connections in stores there, please dm me!

people keep saying summer is over but summer ends on sept. 22 and it's still very hot outside!

- japanese breakfast's free outdoors show at union pool right before she blew up - yhwh nailgun's second ever show in 2022 at otto's shrunken head to an audience of maybe 10 people besides the other bands - yo la tengo at tv eye, which i am forever thankful to be listed for

it would be really cool to see people hype more writers here than the same 10 people. there is so much brilliant music criticism out there outside the bluesky bubble! give some love to writers who aren't your friends/who you've never interacted with. and champion POC!

the bad bunny residency is incredible and understandably many publications are going to want to cover it but please make sure to keep hiring puerto rican writers for it. there is so much context lost if you're not from my island and gringos, it's not for you

i'm in puerto rico until wednesday for bad bunny so if any editors at a major publication want to try having me interview him...

am hearing that federal agents are going into concert venues in plain clothes and casing the venues, looking for people to go after below is from a bartender at a popular dc venue that ekko astral has played multiple times

while we can't announce who our cover star is (though i can assure it's a band you know and love with one of the best albums of the year), this issue is designed by yhwh nailgun's jack tobias and has illustrations by godcaster's von kolk! and it looks sick as fuuuck

wrote about the incredible my chemical romance tour, which is one of the most elaborate feats by the band yet www.pastemagazine.com/music/my-che...

we're looking for more ads for ANTICS' summer issue. want to promote your book, podcast or album? hit us up at antics[at]anticsmag[dot]com for ad rates! besides mag sales, ads are how we pay writers so you'd be keeping indie journalism alive while promoting your business

i wrote about mcr's debut album, one that is deeply flawed but i still love it anyway www.pastemagazine.com/music/my-che...

saw my first unboxed labubu keychain out in the wild and it looks so dorky. why are people sending a fortune on ugly monchhichis

grace's review was very well-written, balanced and actually said some nice things. this is what happens when an artist is so used to praise that they can't take constructive criticism. and if anything, everything the review says this album lacks is most likely going to be bettered in the next album

a year ago today, I published my oral history of garden state for its 20th anniversary. it was my 8th (!!!) oral history! editors, take advantage that i can still freelance at paste 😉 i'd love to do some more www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

hulk hogan, theo huxtable and ozzy all on the same week is wild
