It was sort of his first sleazy rock environ, late-night show, to be more exact. An incredibly kind, supportive, and positive vibe in the space tho! Still hard to fathom for veterans of the 90s.

The replies not catching the sarcasm, or criticizing points that aren’t made in the post, convince me that this site has the juice. That’s good chaos. If everyone is “getting it” then you might as well be in a private club.

She was ultimately dismissed, but not because of the uniform (which the judge never mentioned), but because she gave an interview to the press during the trial. About Star Trek.

The series is called “ethnographic” bc the graphic novel is based on real events, which were narrated or experienced thru ethnography. Cool project.

In high school the jocks would point and laugh at me, if only they knew I was working on a white paper

Well ya know complicated topic, wouldn’t want to get too too romantic about it. Music’s always a little bit of an empty signifier, alas.
