Weekly Reads
Listening to Taylor Swift in Prison 🎧
The story of a cell block Swiftie that everyone should read.
“In “Karma,” Swift sings, “Ask me what I learned from all those years / Ask me what I earned from all those tears.” A few months from now, California’s Board of Parole Hearings will ask me questions like that.”
Millennial #girlbosses have become Gen Z’s workplace therapists (aka momagers), and the emotional labour of “bringing our whole selves to work” is burning everyone out. Maybe Severence got a few things right…
“I’ve thought about saying, ‘This is not the time or place to talk about these matters.’ But there’s a risk with that, especially as a woman, of being labeled as an insensitive bitch.”
Meanwhile, vaping is changing the way teenagers sound.
“From Cher’s shrieks in Clueless and Blair Waldorf’s whines in Gossip Girl to your teenage cousin’s shrill giggles, high-school girls have long been defined by their, well, girlish voices. So why do the 10th graders who eat lunch on my block sound like a group of lawyers from Staten Island?”
Does The Name Club Chalamet Mean Anything To You 💘
A weird and wonderful deep dive into a Timothée Chalamet fan account. The cringe and intrigue are unmatched.
“On the one hand this is just a random lady. But on the other hand am I supposed to scroll past a woman demanding to know why Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet have not gone to Olive Garden since he loves Italian food??”
