I donāt think pop music has historically ever had a moment like her āGirl, So Confusingā remix verse. Itās not a joke. Itās a triumph for literature. Everyone remembers where they were the first time they heard it. This was a serious revolution and took us out of her usual fever dreaminess of controlled poetic syntax (which I love) , to just unmasked, raw, chaotic feminine brutality and I donāt think we appreciate the prose switch-up enough. I also have said āletās work it out on the remix?ā to many people Iāve fought with since the song dropped. Sometimes I even write a verse mimicking the song taking accountability of what Iāve done and I send it to who Iām in a conflict with, it actually helps! Iām obsessed with the new singles off her upcoming album Virgin and Iām already studying the cadence of epigrams like āMDMA in the back gardenā,. Iām someone who struggles with severe summer depression, which is taboo in the world of seasonal sadists but taking my discman for a walk by the ocean as āThe Pathā starts up on my (files purchased on ITunes!) burnt CD-R copy of āSolar Powerā is natureās SSRI. Suck on that, Saint Johnās Wort.

itās crazy to think sheās been around 15 years and this is one of the best songs sheās ever put out. Itās silly itās outrageous the lyrics read like a tumblr post and sheās just out here trying to be that girl. Itās been stuck in my head since I heard it. following up a poetry book which Iām sure not a lot of people read with this unhinged masterpiece is the energy I want to see in the world.

Everything is romantic feels so midwest hot girl and I love the vibe BUT
Girl, so confusing hints at a collab with the LORDE while hitting with some personal lyrics like yes I do feel confused if people like me.

I write in fragments, and Iām constantly jotting down ideas all day long and what has been great is turning a Blackberry Bold into an offline word processor. I use the built in software and export my writing into a .docx and then put it on my computer via USB. Then I plug my notes into Scrivener.Ā Ā Iām a huge nerd about collecting offline-writing tech (shout out to Freewrite!) and it makes the rush of putting together a novel which I call the āincubation processā, a lot for more chaotic and fun.Ā Ā I consider writing to be like a scavenger hunt with your own brain and I feel like if you see your mind as a search engine, you can pull up a lot of insane ideas by just trusting your inner web browser.Ā

The reason I got a region free DVD player in my mid 20s was because I wanted to own a European copy of the Leonardo Dicaprio Gen X deep-cut/full of lore movie Donās Plum. If you can sometimes save the money, you spend on vaping, events, weed, alcohol, drugs or whatever to buy rare out of print DVDs (even bootlegs sometimes) that are locked to Japan, Australia, UK, whatever isnāt North American. Do it, youāll never regret it. The delayed gratification of waiting weeks for a DVD that is available to stream right now on some scary illegal link that has 300 pop ups to come in the mail may not make sense to a lot of people but I really appreciate the movie more, and having the association of the whole experience of having to track it down vs just getting it right now makes it so fun. I own a lot of rare TV series box sets from the 90s/2000s that never got released in North America, and are impossible to find online. Join me, you can live this lifestyle too!

Posting is so over! Selfies? Images, videos, live updates on what you are doing? Stop. Get a house-line with call forwarding, a flip phone and only use iMessage on your desktop and build an 90s AOL simulator.Ā Try to schedule screen time. You donāt need to exist online 24/7, if your career can allow it and if you can get an gen-z assistant to exist as a digital you for advertising purposes, do that too. Itās 2025. Instagram is what MySpace was to 2012. Time to leave the algorithm.Ā
