wrote about Robyn‘s “Show Me Love” for my column in @pastemagazine.bsky.social, and how important it was to learn to ride a stock cart like a skateboard

The first two CDs I owned (acquired at the same time) were “Robyn Is Here” and “Bringing Down the Horse”. What an absolute gift to have @nikostratis.com write about them both!

(For her take on The Wallflowers, please see her amazing book THE DAD ROCK THAT MADE ME A WOMAN.)

If an AI future is what I'm getting left behind from, then Christ, just leave me behind.
A girl can only pivot so much, hoss, and I hung up my pivotin' boots some time ago. I don't make videos even though that was supposedly the future of writing ten years ago — I mean, I guess I do, but they're little banjo practice videos for my friends, not expressions of a desperate careerist impulse. I use social media with the attention-crazed dopesickness of an addict, not the care and forethought of a professional, as any cursory read of my posts will confirm. I'm a writer by trade — a creative, as you might say — and here you are, running a business you don't even understand into the ground, deskilling my trade and expecting a thank you when you explain how you're doing it. If I don't devalue myself the way you continually devalue me, you warn, I'll be left behind. Okay, says I! Quit making it my problem and go! The dust you leave me in will settle, and in the meantime, I will keep doing my work in much the way I've done it since I first became literate.

This is very, very good
