My screenshot of the unedited, terrible NPR Morning Edition profile of Kirsten Gillibrand. Note the part where they call her “petite, blond and perky” and talk about her “girlie” voice.

“Because you’re a lady, you don’t have the option of stomping around in a funk. Because you are a woman, and you feel feelings, you must draw some giant, oversimplified conclusion. You must have blandly down-to-earth protagonists, you must have lovable mommies hugging lost kittens, you must have rainbows and sunbeams spewing out of your ass. They’re going to coach you into writing something you’re not entirely sure about, something you would never in a million fucking years read yourself (if you had free will, which it sometimes seems like you don’t), and they’re going to tell you it’s pure genius. And even though you still might see your piece or essay or snippet of prose as “literary,” they’re going to stick an incendiary headline on it (“Help! I Ate My Own Vagina!”) and it’s going to be an internet sensation, and you’re going to feel Bad with a capital B about it.”

I am not entirely sure I hold with all of this, but it’s interesting…

rollingstone:

With its vivid orchestration, lyrical ambition, elegant pacing and thematic coherence, Pet Sounds invented – and in some sense perfected – the idea that an album could be more than the sum of its parts. When Brian Wilson sang, “Wouldn’t it be nice if we were older?” on the magnificent opener, he wasn’t just imagining a love that could evolve past high school; he was suggesting a new grown-up identity for rock & roll music itself.

The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds was released 47 years ago today.

This is murder to look at, because for the last few days, I feel horribly sick afterward.

This is probably the first and last food porn I’ll tumbl because mac and cheese, obvs,

Also it’s Shavuot and we Chosen people are actually supposed to make our lactose intolerant Jewish selves sick on dairy because IT’S A MITZVAH.

“A woman from the audience asks: ‘Why were there so few women among the Beat writers?’ and [Gregory] Corso, suddenly utterly serious, leans forward and says: “There were women, they were there, I knew them, their families put them in institutions, they were given electric shock. In the ’50s if you were male you could be a rebel, but if you were female your families had you locked up.”
