what now

more from an interview with sylvan esso:

Speaking of deep emotional effort, why did you call the album What Now?

Sanborn: When we thought of calling it that [it] was a sad joke. But I realized that it was the phrase I woke up with in my head, more than any other. I think it was the mantra of this year of realizing that nothing is ever really over. I started out thinking we got everything we wanted on paper.

Meath: And then it doesn’t end. We made an album; now we have to do it again. And it needs to mean something again.

there’s no nothing

from the ny times, reactions to news that the police officers who killed alton sterling will not face federal charges, and in light of jordan edwards’s murder:

“I’m not surprised, because it happens all the time,” said Kosher Weber, 21, an African-American resident of Baton Rouge, her voice cracking in anger. “Where do things go from here? There’s no justice. There’s no nothing.”

newly realized ambition for summer 17: to be as ferociously unbothered as diddy (!) lounging (!!) on the met gala stairs (!!!)

clearly i’m a trash eater

i begrudgingly tried to make the leap to instagram with that sky photo (it’s casual) but ugh i don’t like how you constantly get input about how many people like your thing and even if i’m like, i shan’t look, i can’t help but look a LITTLE bit and then it’s over.

i much prefer writing in the void and assuming my stuff is straight blowing up/never seen.

(but seriously…would this post be a good instagram post? possible caption: “don’t drink on a full stomach”)

love,
an old person, but not a mad person
