I've recently become fascinated with Taylor Swift. Well, that's not exactly right. Not specifically her. I've become fascinated with trying to put my finger on why Taylor Swift doesn't annoy me. Even more specifically why despite reading to me as possibly the "whitest" person in America, she doesn't annoy me

I found that really interesting -- I would love to see you publish it somewhere, especially your thoughts on dominant culture as opposed to domination.

I hate Wes Anderson, even though I loved "Pushing Daisies," because it's so freaking WASP twee. Hated Whit Stillman for the waspiness. I don't know if it's a Jew thing or not.

i liked reading this.

interested to hear more about performative whiteness. i googled it but am coming up with incomprehensible academic papers that i am not smart enough for.

i can't stand wes anderson.

broad city is another example of people on a show having interracial relationships and it not being a big thing (imo, anyway).

All so-called identity is performative.

Taylor Swift still bugs the shit out of me. (Although I admit I watched the documentary about her sending secret santa gifts to her fans and I felt like I liked her for two minutes).
