Allow me to reintroduce myself, my name is Marc and I've been writing about music on OMG!NYC since 2006 and started my Substack, The Shape of Music to Come, in 2021.
I mostly post about music with the occasional comments on social justice issues.
Peace + Love, y'all! ✌️ ❤️

The only people who view swastikas as anything other than hate symbols are Nazis. Fucking NAZIS.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

I'm not Gen Z (born in '88), but this really sums it up
In Opinion | “The whole experience of work for young people has been tortured for far longer than the economy has been stalled,” Jessica Grose writes. As Gen Z navigates the A.I. era, she urges older generations to meet them with empathy, not judgment.
