So much great stuff to talk about in EP8. Kathy Acker is ... wild. And we do a little lesson on what makes something "gothic." And then look at the very flawed foundations of liberal notions of "freedom." The seabirds are squawking!

Find, like, review, etc., on Apple or wherever you get your pods.

"The resistance element has always entered into my fiction. I've always wanted to talk about how people resisted these systems. But also the question of what it really means to be free." – Eleanor Shearer

It’s not just the racism. People mad about these artists have no intellectual curiosity either. No interest in poetry, lyricism, history, dance, food, clothing, symbolism, imagery, etc.

They are gold fish brains trying to comprehend the work of Pulitzer Prize winning artists lol.
Bad Bunny, Kendrick Lamar, and Beyonce are three of the most globally popular artists rn. We are so lucky they are so smart and work so hard to use their art to teach cultural history lessons through music, dance, and visually magnificent sets when they could just stand there in jorts and lip sync.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from narrating romance books in the past couple years, it’s that romance fans are loyal, particular, and far smarter than anyone thinks. This is going to feel like they’re being condescended to, because it is. I don’t think they’ll take it well! And they shouldn’t!

Decades ago I proofread a Regency romance novel called Emily Goes to Exeter.

I still think about it, and of how much I enjoyed it.

GO READ THAT. SOMEONE WROTE IT.

“Romance is about human connection, and there’s nothing more human than being vulnerable and falling in love. Why would I want to read a story written by a machine trying to emulate that?”

Journalist @jkbjournalist.bsky.social's reporting back in 2018 led to Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest. Today, she’s poring over the millions of documents in the Epstein files, and she told @brookegladstone.bsky.social that she’s found new evidence of corruption. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...
