My interview with Thurston Moore from the Sunday @chicagotribune.com.

Watched some old home movies w/my mom & was surprised at how skinny we all were. My aunts used to tell my sister she was fat. They started in on me later. We were thinner than the average female Kpop idol is today. Was there a purpose other than to be cruel? And if we had actually been fat, so what?

Q's for those who take cabs (not ubers) in big cities: Are drivers telling you how much the ride will cost w/o turning on the meter? They're doing surge pricing like ubers. I've had this happen in Chicago quite often lately, sometimes after they've already started driving.

Mental health isn’t taken seriously enough in general. It’s not like a fractured bone that can be put in a cast and healed. You can’t see a broken heart or a tortured mind. The K-drama "It's Okay, That's Love" tackles this subject in a nuanced way that feels real. 👇
“It’s Okay, That’s Love” Is Beautiful and Full of Heartache
The K-drama culminates with the kind of glorious truth that is both liberating and intoxicating.
