Cryptic lyrics on par with Cocteau Twins, but with enough violent energy to rival a teenager on Red Bull. I've been reaching for their music for about ten years now! I'm not gonna stop!

FKA twigs has been on the periphery of music that I adore for many years now.. with the rollout for EUSEXUA (out January 24!) I figured itās as good a time as any to tap in. Drums of Death has an industrial and glitchy sound to it that I canāt get enough of. Coherent lyrics are few and far between, but it makes what cuts through the perilous percussion that much more meaningfu.

Itās good to get epically read on your appearance, cadence, and words rather than deeds. Public speaking is an opportunity for critique and ridicule from folks on the other side of the culture war. While you may totally disagree morally & aesthetically (so on the fronts of truth and vanity), an laconic assessment by an account with a Trumpian gift of gab can be inspiring, assigning fresh diction in self-description. For example, in a work video where I agreed to be a talking head buzzing about a policy hypebeast of a topic, I came off vapid and only fractionally educated. I had to mute my displeasure as it was uploaded to socials anyway. Only a couple months later did I revisit the flop of a post and like a light in the dark, found a hidden reply which I eagerly clicked to reveal: an account with a statement against government corruption as its profile pic, calling me a female ākill gatesā - wow, I thought, thatās actually so funny. Now I canāt get it out of my head, looking in the mirror like you got me! maybe youāve seen similar success with conservative/libertarian/conspiracist accounts who revel in glibness, but the real golden bullets will be friendly fire. Iām awaiting a soul-scouring drag from a Maoist letting me know exactly what type of liberal I amā¦. until then,
embrace your epithets, exploit the tilt! It keeps you light on your toes, doubly so if you fancy yourself a prose stylist. Please share any trenchant hate comments youāve received.

what school? What degree program? how is it being funded? why do you want to go to grad school - professional reasons? Do you want to enter academia?Ā
donāt pay an institution whose investment portfolio you have serious ethical qualms with for a masterās degree - but you probably know that. Ideally you go somewhere where you get a TA or RA-ship and your tuition waived and where graduate student workers are unionized. Having done the PhD app process this past cycle, it involves a lot of cost benefit analysis, self interrogation, and vulnerability - keep stewing on the tension.
Somewhat related, breakdown of Columbiaās finances from earlier this month by Adam Tooze. Maybe a good reminder know that the academyās labor can audit the system?Ā
