Master thread of reactions to old BTS content:
My route:
1. I got Felix’d and mainlined SKZ for a whole winter.
2. Decided to listen to BTS for some Elder Statesmen contrast
3. Joon put out INDIGO and I had to listen to MORE BTS for context
4. Oh look I seem to be down the rabbit hole.

What was your route into BTS?
My route in 3 steps
1. Background noise of ARMY friends
2. Strawberry Boy
3. "Wow this year has been depressing. Strawberry Boy makes me happy and BTS seem to make my friends happy... maybe I should explore." and then my ARMY friends welcoming me so enthusiastically.

Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.

Me: I am the first and only person writing for BTS in this fest. Exciting!
Also me: now is definitely the time to go with something experimental and weird that absolutely nobody will read.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
