reaction no. 1: wait, this isn’t a joke?
reaction no. 2: i kind of maybe want one of those rings a little bit, sort of.
With so many distractions and different ways to hear songs, it’s getting to be pretty impossible to give full albums the attention they deserve. When was the last time you actually listened to one all the way through, without any interruptions?

it was npr music’s own robin hilton who taught me to do this by lending me his beloved pink floyd collection. now i get annoyed by singles.
Talented writing tends to contain more information, sentence for sentence, clause for clause, than merely good writing. … It also employs rhetorical parallels and differences… . It pays attention to the sounds and rhythms of its sentences… . Much of the information it proffers is implied. … These are among the things that indicate talent.

DINOSAUR NECKLACE. that is all.
these jeans are homemade and from the ’70s, but seriously, if someone wanted to make them today, i’d be all over that shiz. i’m thinking yellow at the bottom. (and also the same colorblocking minus the flares.)

No Kidding: Women Writers and Comedians on the Choice Not to Have Children
A dozen years ago, when I was approaching forty, my eight-year-old niece Hanna asked me, “Aunt Andrea, are you married?” I said, “No, are you married?!” She seemed alarmed and asked, “Why would I be married?!” and I said to her, “Well, why would I be married?”
She folded her arms and said, “You’re weird.” “Good weird or bad weird?” She grumbled that she hadn’t decided yet.
But it was already so clear to her at eight that people were married and had kids, and if you didn’t, you were “weird.” It’s amazing how young those attitudes start. This “chat” with my niece didn’t prepare me for the now-daily shock of being mistaken for someone’s mother.
I overheard my other ten-year-old niece Alexa patiently explaining things to her six-year-old brother, who was piecing together family relationships. He asked who I was the mother of. Alexa dramatically turned to Ricky and exclaimed, “Aunt Andrea is the mother to no one.”
It’s amazing how young those attitudes start. well, not particularly, when you think about the fact that all kids are raised by people who, you know, have kids. and who are usually married, or have been. i thought all grown-ups were married with kids when i was little, because with school and friends and such, it’s not like you’re exposed to much else.
