POP FEMINIST PERBLOG

I'm mean like a snake and I'll never change.

I talk about gender. My research interests fall somewhere around the materiality & memory & feelings of pop punk, (maybe especially a theory/poetics of mark hoppus), regular old punk I guess, archiving/thinking about feminist makeupping, embodying & theorizing hair, (especially my own stupid problems with it), horror and its bodies, teensploitation and its bodies, zines, and book covers. Most of all (or sometimes as an afterthought), the artifacts and ideology of pop or whatever. My theory tag is poorly organized but it's important.

I say things about music and cats and television and film and books and art and fashion just like anyone else, I guess. I feel kind of shitty that I lump all my posts about not-just-feminist social justice concerns into one tag. My domestic life is all booze and manic episodes and my cat, and on the occasion that I make something I will post about it.

More than anything I overshare like it's praxis, like it's the end of the world, like we'll all die if I don't. I try to perform a radical feminist narcissism but mostly I just document my face or episodes of mania and/or acts of meanness directed at dudes who deserve it. I think about place, mostly-midwestern hometowns. You may also want to: meet the person I share my home & cat with, see things I have liked on tumblr, or be my sugar parent.

  • my determined non-thoughts on lana del rey

    karaj:

    i was only half-listening to you guys about lana del rey because i only half-listen to everything, it’s my method, and maybe yours, too. and i saw that my ex-boyfriend wrote something about her, because one of you posted it on tumblr; i’m not linking to it because i’m not looking for it, i was serious about not hate reading, i don’t even read the times anymore, ostensibly because he writes for it, but that’s a lie, i actually already didn’t read the times, and now i have a really good excuse not to, because if i say i don’t read the times, who won’t believe i’m just too traumatized? which is all a long way of saying i have no idea what he said, or what any of you have said, except i know that mikki and rgr maybe-approve, even if i don’t know exactly why, but i am sure they are exactly right, because i feel more strongly about this than i felt about early early gaga or ke$ha (who is kinda fucking brilliant but maybe racist i don’t know what the end of that story was). like, this is some actual next level shit, like it’s so smart it’s 3 chapters. plus it reminds me of jenny holzer so it’s like half a dissertation right there. what i’m saying is that this is the epitome of feminist boredom, which is really really real and in our bodies. this is everything about everything and i mean that more than i meant it last time.  

    I literally have three reasons why I’m pro-LDR:

    1. She had the nerve to only wear one dress on SNL and I can’t even
    2. Makeup (really this is a million reasons)
    3. People are saying she has no talent or skill, when really I didn’t like her because she has too much talent and skill for my taste, but now I guess I have to be on her team because you know fuck the world

    But I still would mostly rather be listening to The Fame. Somehow LDR makes me wish Gaga had better makeup on The Fame and like that’s a big deal.

    Tagged: pop ldr music lana del rey slow music whatever slow music isn't quite the state but it isn't quite not the state either
