I can also acknowledge that my anger over the KKK tweet is tied up in the fact I'm a historian, and that several critiques of that tweet linked to the site Without Sanctuary, which I had never heard of. So, I discovered she had made that tweet, and then I spent half an hour clicking through an archive of lynching postcards, and then spent the rest of the afternoon disconnected from the internet, crying. Which both is and isn't even about her—she didn't make the KKK do those things. But she did make light of them, and she did not ever apologize or even acknowledge how hurtful that is, as far as I know.

Anyway, sorry for the monster side-thread of angst on your music post here. retreats into the darkness in search of hot cocoa and ibuprofen
