Book on Taylor Swift out April 2025: https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781493084722/Cranking-Up-Taylor-Swift-Her-Musical-Journey-in-11-Songs
In the wake of the new TS album, I keep thinking about the first time I presented on her at SocAmMusic, and got a comment along the lines of “is this too critical” when talking about how she’s a bad white feminist, and white feminism is scary and harmful

Anyways… that work is published now.

Reading a book for review and just learned John Prine was a Libra like me so it’ll be a 5 star read no matter how the second half of the book is.

Currently doing a last pass of copy editing when all I really wanna do is bake pie😩

What I should be doing: working on copy edits
What I’m actually doing: having Taylor swift dance party while I do copy edits making me take twice as long
(I’m on chapter 5- 1989✨🌊 wishing id written about OOTW instead of blank space)

Still giggling and kicking my little feet that the Jonas brothers and 1D are unironically on my US popular music syllabus because the teenagers of the 2000s were important 💁🏻‍♀️
