The Alienation of Being Queer in Corporate America

*Originally published in Bimbo Magazine* Entering a new workplace as a trans person is always nerve-wracking. Usually, I wait a few months and get to know my coworkers before I reveal my pronouns, but that approach often left me feeling alienated and uncomfortable. When I started a new position in…

The Weight of Style

*Originally published in Bimbo Magazine* I’m moving for the first time in my life, and I am suddenly faced with the question of style. I’ve gone through my closet, pulling out the ghosts of fashion’s past and setting them aside to donate. I’m reminded of all the phases my closet…

no. 45 — Willow by Sloppy Jane

When I first downloaded Willow and began listening to it, I knew I wasn’t ready yet. I first heard Sloppy Jane because their song “Bark Like A God” was on a Halloween playlist on spotify, and I was absolutely obsessed with it. But that song taken out of context of…

no. 44 — Punisher by Phoebe Bridgers

I… don’t even know how to begin this one. This whole project started as an attempt to impress Phoebe Bridgers, though it’s ending as something else entirely. I wrote a whole long thing about how my unhealthy obsession with Phoebe Bridgers was over, how it was never about her in…

no. 43 — Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves

I used to be one of those people who said I liked all music except rap and country. I am no longer one of those people. I think writing off entire genres like that is reductive, and even worse, singling out those specific genres tends to be an act of…

no. 42 — Patience by Mannequin Pussy

I remember downloading Mannequin Pussy’s 2016 album Romantic, and my boyfriend expressed surprise that I was getting into them. Fast forward a few months and he comes to me playing ‘Drunk II’ off their newest album Patience. This is a common theme in our relationship where I’ll show him music…

no. 41 — Norman fucking Rockwell by Lana Del Rey

I won’t lie, I have absolutely disliked Lana Del Rey for the entirety of her career. I don’t like the way she glamorizes abusive relationships in her songs. I don’t like that she changed her name to sound more “ethnically ambiguous.” I don’t like that she does not call herself…

no. 40 — No Dogs Allowed by Sidney Gish

All the words I can come up with to describe Sidney Gish fall flat. “Quirky,” “Funny,” “Smart,” “Weird,” none of these are correct but all of them are true. Every time I’ve seen her in person or spoken to her at the merch table, I’m surprised by how awkward she…

no. 39 — Fine Line by Harry Styles

I just spent like an hour writing 1,100 words about my obsessions with the intent on posting it on this blog, but honestly, I don’t know if I’m up for that. My relationship to the things/people I obsess over are fraught, and I haven’t really figured out what the newest…

no. 38 — Collection by Soccer Mommy

I saw Soccer Mommy in concert before I appreciated her music the way I do now. I saw her with my partner James at Metro Gallery in Baltimore, and it was lovely to see her in such a small, local venue. At some point in her set, she mentioned her…
