inner resources
There’s a certain quality you’ll find in some people, the ones who leave with no intention of coming back. It’s the breath held for a beat too long, the gaze into the middle distance, an expectant air that makes you think a secret part has been tucked somewhere far away from their physical presence. They laugh at your jokes, they’re all quiet smiles and hand gestures, they...

Azealia Banks battles Lil Kim
rapindustryfanfiction: Azealia Banks met Lil Kim at the top of Mount Everest, just like they’d planned. It had been a long, hard seven months of training—the workouts, the ten-mile runs every morning, the light arms training… But it had been worth it. She was ready. As she dismounted her dragon, Lil Kim sneered. “Your tricks don’t amuse me, Banks,” she said, fighting to be heard over the...

How to Fall In Love →
Start by leaving home. It’s not where the heart is, but where the hard edge is. When ice begins to ebb from shoreline, freeing mangy marsh grass, leave. And as you pick up speed, let your life arc out away from you. Realize that you don’t know where you’re going and that the weather changes often. Steer between the stars like songbirds coming back at night. Listen to the whirring of a thousand,...

Can't sleep won't sleep
katecarraway: What’s missing in the world is an acknowledgement about the other plagues, the extra-love plagues. I’m in a state and it’s not because of a guy; I haven’t been heartsick in two years (WORD, IS THAT BAD?). This year, I got three new columns (Vice, Elle and the National Post, which I’m starting up again this week after a long break). I love The Grid. I went to Mexico with my mom...

Letting Go
Growing older means learning to let go of certain relationships. I. Sometimes, you do whatever you can to save a friendship, but in the end, it too sours. Or, you stop rationalizing why a certain person doesn’t care anymore. It’s not that you’ve done something wrong, but that you are in different places. II. It is the end of the year and the music I love is more exact. Does age mean...

Playing Favorites: 2011 Songs of the Year
britticisms: Every year, this list feels like it gets longer. I can’t say for certain if that is the truth, but it feels like I place greater emphasis on strong singles. Only a handful of albums felt like complete, purposeful statements, but the number of singles that were on point were constant. The variety of tracks kept me surprised, with my interests earlier in the year more rock-focused...

When At a Certain Party In NYC Wherever you’re from sucks, and wherever you grew up sucks, and everyone here lives in a converted chocolate factory or deconsecrated church without an ugly lamp or souvenir coffee cup in sight, but only carefully edited objets like the Lacanian soap dispenser in the kitchen that looks like an industrial age dildo, and when you rifle through the bathroom cabinet...

GIRLGANG ZINE x GAGC: Curls 'n Bangs Mixtape
andreainspired: Love those gals at GIRLGANG ZINE, so when they asked me to create a mixtape for them how could I say no? Here’s a little something I did for them on behalf of GAGC. I like to think of this playlist as a collection of anthems for my imaginary girl gang Curls ‘n Bangs. We’d have the gnarliest hairdos and the best sleepovers. Wanna join? including:  01 The What Four - I’m Gonna...

GIRLS AND GROWING UP →
DOING THINGS LITERALLY EVERY SECOND I don’t know exactly when it happens, but there’s a switch between girldom and womanhood where your life takes on the qualities of a take-out coffee (overfull; too hot; expensive: BETTER METAPHOR, RIGHT? I JUST MADE IT UP!) and you will be busy or should be busy all of the time. What is, by necessity, not done—which will include friends not seen or even...
