NPR Music fired Kim, a journalist whose politics have been front-and-center for years, after Tucker Carlson and other right-wing media sycophants “brought to their attention” that she’s an opinionated leftist.

i think what’s craziest to me about the Alice Munro news is that her daughter took that abuser to court nearly 20 years ago, but it was so thoroughly dismissed by her fans at the time that it’s the first time an entire generation of readers is hearing about it
a friend who toured with someone who toured with Lucy Dacus said that in late 2022/early 2023, she forbade mention of Phoebe Bridgers because it was a “sore subject” lmao
it feels important to note that when we condemn Israel, we must also condemn the US and UK for first partitioning Palestine and then capitalizing upon the Holocaust to finalize the annexation of a friendly eastern state (while also retaining their antisemitic immigration laws)

we saw Patrick Carney and Michelle Branch the night me and my friends were candy flippin in the honky tonk and she (and Kacey Musgraves) left by 12 and he stayed til close and just leered at women all night, no more dude musicians until we figure out what’s going on
thinkin about the time a lesbian on Tinder told me she didn’t like Carmen Maria Machado bc she’s straight and when I mentioned that she’s literally married to a woman, she said “well she writes about men so that doesn’t count”
