the more holes music has in it the better it is. example:
digital files = 0 holes (not great)
cds/vinyl = 1 hole (fine)
cassettes = 2-9 holes (great/maximum great)

kinda weird that half of the indie rock music put out in the past decade sounds exactly like Suzanne Vega but no one seems to talk about her as a direct influence

André Braugher in Homicide is still one of the most impressive pieces of acting I’ve seen on TV. His arc in that show was incredible. RIP.

this is an excellent piece
"We are all hurtling, inevitably, toward that one last transition, across the one true binary, the one between life and death. And that binary is the true source of all our regrets, and our joy, too. Regret exists because we all get just one life."

For a long time I’ve been thinking about why we are so terrified a child will regret a gender transition. This essay ended up being not just about gender but about all of our identities, how they shape us and, crucially, how we shape ourselves.

The panic over transgender children is driven by the fear that they’ll regret transitioning. But freedom to make mistakes is core to being human.

the "Using only a restaurant, tell us where you went to college" prompt is making me sad because Mama Mia's in Williamsburg, Virginia, moved and I can't find a picture of the old location next to campus

I have complicated feelings about the idea of being a "professional" artist. I would love to just make art and not have to have another job, but there's also something to be said for being a committed amateur/hobbyist and keeping your art separate from how you pay your bills.
Don't give up your day job, health insurance and 401(k), folks. Nearly every single writer you've heard of had a day job until their writing careers took off - and some of them kept their days jobs after that too, because they liked them, or they knew pro publishing is a fickle beast. Don't starve!
Just saw the WORST advice to give on a general level, which is to just quit your day job, willy-nilly, to become a writer. The suggestion was to let yourself go feral/get backed into a corner and figure it out.
And oh my god,can we just KILL the idea that one has to struggle/starve to make art? No.
