Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good.

Not that Taylor Swift comes up explicitly (the original piece was written in 1999), but the connections seemed uncanny (or all too canny). It felt really gratifying to have different parts of my experiences intersect in such an unexpected and timely way.
