christ this has been bugging me lately. every time I reference more than like five people I'll get several comments like 'um... didn't x do y bad thing 🤔'
A) I don't know everything about everyone I'm discussing, I'm talking about their music
B) I'M TALKING ABOUT THEIR MUSIC

I wish people would stop telling me if a man has allegations simply because I bring him up by name. I’m a film critic. I’m going to talk about actors who are good and bad people. if sexual assault isn’t the topic at hand, you don’t need to drop it into the conversation
and I say this as a survivor!

this is SO SO SO good, strong recommend for anyone with even the remotest bit of interest in thrillers or why people like them (it's worth the 3+ hour runtime trust me just watch over several days like I did)
NEW VIDEO.
Let's talk about women who love thrillers, and let's talk about the publishers who love them.
THE PINK AISLE OF CRIME FICTION MUST BE STOPPED.
This is my child, a year in the making. I hope you like it.

One thing that all environments interested in anti-oppression need to be vigilant about is the idea that any particular oppressed group is innately virtuous—or indeed, that innate virtue is even a realistic idea at all.
