Without this money, she could not transfer to another school. Essentially, she was forced to stay on campus where she saw those seven rapists frequently. Eventually she dropped out of college. 552023635

Saying you don’t like it is the greatest sin of all. You gotta grow up if that’s how you’re gonna act. 1126118

Reposted by Brian SchefkeKendra "Gloom is My Beat" Pierre-Louis @kendrawrites.com · 27/09/2026The article spends a quarter of the article suggesting really valid reasons why someone (me) may not have heard the song but doubles down on saying it's because we're smug instead of just acknowledging that the song of the summer as a concept is dead nowrollingstone.comWhat Some Folks Really Mean When They Claim to Have Never Heard 'Choosin' Texas'Claiming to have never heard Ella Langley's record-setting country song 'Choosin' Texas' is similar to saying, 'I listen to anything but country.' 2512513
Brian Schefke @handle.invalid · 27/09/2026I use mine all year. I just turn off the A/C setting and run the fan before I go to bed. It's like white noise to fall asleep to. 1162
Brian Schefke @handle.invalid · 27/09/2026In the end, I think this article could have been more interesting about music segmentation if it hadn't been so much about validating the author's artistic and cultural preferences. 433018
Brian Schefke @handle.invalid · 27/09/2026I will also "claim" to have never heard of "Choosin' Texas" or the singer, Ella Langley, before reading this article. That claim happens to be true. I don't listen to much Top 40 radio. I mostly listen to streaming music and SiriusXM satellite. That's not me consciously disdaining country music. 52514
Brian Schefke @handle.invalid · 27/09/2026That's not to say that country music is bad! If you like it, great! But I don't think of my family as having been any less working-class because we didn't listen to it. 22073
Brian Schefke @handle.invalid · 27/09/2026Again, there's the implication that working-class must equal white. On top that, country music isn't necessarily more popular among white working-class people, depending on where they live. I grew up in a working-class household and we never listened to country music. We just didn't care for it. 432013
Brian Schefke @handle.invalid · 27/09/2026Furthermore, I object to the flattening of working-class cultures in America in article, as if to say that listening to country music is a definitive characteristic of being working-class. 734016
Brian Schefke @handle.invalid · 27/09/2026For one thing, as others on Bluesky have pointed out, what's going on is not just a reflection of class, but also of race, which the author ignores. 228911
Brian Schefke @handle.invalid · 27/09/2026I find the author's implication that not having heard of the song, or not listening to country music in general, indicates cultural snobbery on the part of people who want to disdain rural or working-class people, to be rather underdeveloped, to put it mildly. 331213
Brian Schefke @handle.invalid · 27/09/2026The author does point out that in an era of streaming music, it's much easier to curate what music one listens to, but seems to think that that's an unhealthy siloing of taste. 11976
Brian Schefke @handle.invalid · 27/09/2026The main idea of the article appears to be that although the song is very popular and set a record for weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, people "claiming" not to have heard of the song or the artist are making a cultural statement of middle-class identity. 21867
Brian Schefke @handle.invalid · 27/09/2026So this Rolling Stone article is making The Rounds on Bluesky, and I might as well throw in my 2 cents, which is probably worth not even that, but whatever: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...rollingstone.comWhat Some Folks Really Mean When They Claim to Have Never Heard 'Choosin' Texas'Claiming to have never heard Ella Langley's record-setting country song 'Choosin' Texas' is similar to saying, 'I listen to anything but country.' 6318915
