Today is #TransDayofVisibility. I wrote about how the possibility for change that transness represents benefits everyone, because it is the same possibility that maybe other parts of our lives can be better too. 💖🤍💙 xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

Yes another Pitchfork review my big 3 albums right now are Underscores, Slayyyter, and this pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

Pitchfork is doing a new series called Saturday Tracks (a counterpart to their Sunday Review) where they write about something they didn't on initial release. And I wrote about "Golden" from some Netflix movie you might have heard about pitchfork.com/reviews/trac...

Noah Kahan thinks he’s Sam Fender, Sam Fender thinks he’s Bruce Springsteen, Bruce Springsteen thinks he’s a sentient motorcycle on a dirt road

The Plague (2025)

definitely the only celebrity I actually want to run for president

somebody PLEASE stop Andrew Watt from autotuning absolutely everyone I knew it was him as soon as that vocal sound came in www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n1I...

I love Dreamworks doing a homoerotic friendship breakup movie because Pixar won't this looks awesome I can't even pretend otherwise www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8RH...

everything we blame kids for actually applies to their parents!!!!

I’d love to see a reverse version of “you can’t make that today” If Disney made High School Musical now, “Stick To The Status Quo” would be the finale and treated like a positive message

This article is darkly fascinating as an example of how transphobia infects your entire ideology. The core argument is that we should not believe people when they say they are trans, were sexully abused or have a mental disorder.

bless Lauren Auder this is the album to beat imo (and DEFINITELY check out her last one too) www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOMh...

keep seeing the "Moby thinks Lola is transphobic" story and can't help but notice we are once again doing "cis people talk about transphobia". For myself, never really had an issue with the song, and talked w Sound Opinion about it two years ago. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/a...

*whispers*I get where Moby's coming from but that was the wrong guy and the wrong target in general I feel like trans people have to justify why the things we like aren't actually harmful and I'm glad someone's at least having the conversation

Wait can I do Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla I love that it’s basically a Paul Simon song

I’m starting to feel like the infinite scroll/large hadron collider form of social media is a little outdated? I shouldn't be able to see all this back to back and I’m much happier in discord servers these days where there are separate channels

why is No Such Thing suddenly everywhere (I was always more of a Why Georgia girl)

I know Golden is ripping off IVE‘s I Am but wow it really is very Run Away With Me

I think a lot about this guy in high school who just straight up said "I don't have a passion", and he's probably the kind of person who uses AI extensively now

a kid in middle school played the Day Tripper riff on his guitar and went "fake ginger" so I'm assuming this Woke Ginger thing is similar but I also don't want main characters on Bluesky? I hated that

you know what Hoppers actually reminded me of is Bee Movie but not even in a bad way both movies go off the rails in ways that are both ridiculous and the logical next step in the film's world, both movies chicken out on saying something interesting in an overly convoluted third act

nooooo why is Opalite a HIT hit

fun fact: 10% of my Pitchfork reviews namedrop Aaron Dessner in some way

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

This is slightly out of context and I'm pointing this out because the context is somehow even worse ("hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy" referring to the directors' "autobiographical" movies)

I've been listening to this a lot www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq_y...

Millennial Mitski album=Makeout Creek Zillennial Mitski album=Puberty 2 Gen Z album=Be The Cowboy I have no idea what Gen Alpha thinks of Mitski or if they like the new one (I still need to listen)

my phone thinks I am Lucy Dacus AND Tim Darcy I have failed face recognition

"Wow. A big drop" -- CNBC highlights that labor force participation is now the lowest it has been since in late 2021, before the covid vaccine was widely available

"hey what if we just did the Stockholm Syndrome shuffle again without a chorus" "great! can we name it after one of the most experimental songs of the boy band era" "only if you make it not even a quarter as interesting" "say no more" www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISgH...

Lauren Auder's The Infinite Spine deserves to be in the same conversation as Foxing's Nearer My God (people going for broke as they see the world collapsing around them)

I don't use the word psy-op but the whole QuitGPT thing that convinced people to use Claude definitely was

I've been writing a script about a cis pop star (a "khia" if you will) and trans producer (basically an Ada Rook type) and I can't tell if Mother Mary is rendering my script redundant or not

if AI must exist (it mustn't but if it must) I can live with ChatGPT as Netscape

at this point I think conflating Israel with Judaism is antisemitic especially as it leads to actually blatant antisemitism like this (and it also distracts from the actual material harm being done by Israel)

where did this come from this is the first Snail Mail song I've ever liked, bratty "yeah yeahs" and all www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2e8...

*ChatGPT voice* And honestly? This ain’t a scene — it’s a goddamn arms race.

I'm open to any audio editing/podcast editing/mixing work, I can also write your artist bios and master your project. Any and all ledes for full-time work are very much appreciated as well.

Omg no, you’re not going to make Anthropic into “resistance tech.” Nope nope nope

1. Its been a week since NYU Langone ended its trans youth care program. Then Sinai followed a few days ago. There are immediate steps Mamdani can take, and he refuses to do so. When asked about those steps, his office has chosen not to comment repeatedly. Subscribe to support our journalism.

you couldn't make this book today!

if he can make it through a 3 hour State of The Union he’ll make it to the end of the term

Incredibly sad at a time when it’s sorely needed

Okay, y’all. How do we build the public media structure we both need and deserve? I’ve had enough of this shit.

I like Bluesky! it's cozy but not in denial of everything going on in the outside world and I frankly don't follow enough people to go into infinite scroll mode

tar is the movie of the decade

Glad you were able to help that student regain her freedom. Now would you please rethink your stance on NYC library funding, and try using some of your power to protect trans people who are being harmed by the loss of medical support programs at NYU Langone and elsewhere. They need your help, sir.

hey I'm mentioned here!

Vouch

Smiling Friends was just finding its footing :((( Season 3 was incredible
