imagine if musicians did the same thing as the wga. took music off streaming, formed a union, and kept music off until the streaming companies agreed to cough up the dough.

As I happily stream De La Soul's catalog, I am also furious that a landmark work of sonic pastiche had to be changed *at all* for release. It's an injustice that we've been tolerating for too long. It's time to make sampling legal. My piece for @Slate: slate.com/culture/2023/03/de…

Hi @WWEArchivist! I’m currently working on my senior thesis @AnnenbergPenn, about Worked Shoots in Pro Wrestling, and I’m seeking to interview wrestlers and other wrestling-adjacent folks. I would love to chat with you about the project— Any chance I could DM you with more info?

“The support Tory Lanez has received is less about him, his character, or even any belief that he may not have done it. It’s about enabling the mechanisms that allow for violence against Black women.” My latest on @theestallion is live at @Refinery29 refinery29.com/en-us/2022/12…

The problem with so many of our analyses on mental health is so many have no critique of the DSM and the history of psychiatry as white supremacy— just accepting the current framing of mental health without question—when it inherently reifies ableism and racism.

Some nice things about winter are going to bed when it’s dark and waking up when it’s dark and going to work when it’s still dark and getting off work when it’s dark and eating dinner when it’s dark and embracing the dark and basically just becoming the darkness

There would probably be no I See Hawks in L.A. without Mike Davis. His writings inspired and informed our songwriting back when we started in 1999. City of Quartz was sitting there next to the guitar case right at the beginning. RIP – at Los Angeles, CA
