Pleased with our Halloween station's decision to add "Heads Will Roll" by The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I've since added it to my own playlist (which at this point is 15 hours long).

I’m confused by the concept of being hella rich and hella ugly. Like?????? Money can’t buy happiness, sanity or ethics but it can definitely buy you something akin to a human face.

Tangent: as a romance reader, one of the things that bugs me about m/f hockey romance is that she’s always a figure skater. I’d love one where the woman is also a hockey player (and I’m sure they exist, they’re just harder to find - I welcome recs!)

Since I haven't found a full-time position yet, I am very eager to do more freelance work. Between cost of living and taking care of my senior dog, a few freelance gigs could go a long way. If you don't need a freelancer but can share this post, I'd really appreciate that too!

I have a lot to say about the Cornell case, but I'm largely keeping it on the inside, since I'll be honest: I find it triggering. But I have one specific ask: parents, talk to your sons. Talk to them and make sure they understand accountability. Talk to them about consent. Do it now.

This horrible news about Cornell and Chi Phi reminds me of a book that remains relevant and hard-hitting: MISSOULA by Jon Krakauer. Men and their futures always matter more than women and their present. It’s disgusting and sad.

If a movie by a famed male director isn’t about himself, it’s about what he wishes he was. Ridiculous take.

underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.
