It's New Year's Eve which means tomorrow this site turns 17 years old. Seventeen! That's the age Little Eva was when she recorded "The Locomotion." It's the age Backpack Kid was when he released the video for "Drip On Boat" featuring Swaghollywood. It's the age Dr. John was when he was 18. It will be a great age for Stereogum too, as long as 2019 sucks less than the past 12 months.

| Also note that, unlike Kanye's support of Trump and the idea that slavery never existed(?), she gives concrete reasons and did her thinking about it. I'm cool when pop stars and celebrities share opinions about politics when they're making a real effort and are informed, regardless of what side they're on. Though this does beg the question if snakes are legally allowed to vote |

| Today's been really rough. A bunch of my friends and I have been swapping supportive texts and sharing our stories all morning because watching the hearing has brought us to full-on flashbacks. I've heard horrible details from so many beloved women in my life (and a few men) today as we try and sift through all this trauma to find some kind of community together. If I didn't have so much work to do on this client matter I'd go home from work and just cry into a glass of wine about all the time in our life we've lost trying to heal, trying to protect ourselves and trying to forget when we could have been living and smiling and dancing and creating and loving. Basically, fuck off, Kanye. Supporting sexual abuse isn't an edgy provocative take to drum up interest in your new album. It's not some fashionable outfit you get to wear to signal that you can't be tamed by the PC police. It's not a game. It's not a joke. It's not something that doesn't matter so long as it doesn't happen to your OWN daughter. It's a terrifying reality for most women in the world, either the ones who've been directly abused or the ones who've had to mold our lives around protecting ourselves from the willful decisions of others to violate. Anyway, time to listen to some White Lung. |

| "Kanye is a musical genius but also an idiot" is something I have typed in one form or another on this site for YEARS. And not unlike Jesus I have suffered for this belief. Oh the downvotes. The "hidden comments". All of it. I suffered it all for you. I don't want your apologies today. I don't want you to dig up old "hidden comments" and raise them from the dead. I know , I know…the Jesus comparison really is apt here. All I ask….as we all ponder Kanye saying "I do love Donald Trump" is your upvote here. Send me to the heavens, Gummers. So that I may be reunited with my father. |
