After 12 requests, 3 weeks, 2 new things, and 42 (now) drafts this is the best I’ve got—It wasn’t long after *that song* came out that people were asking me what I had to say about it and I was so fixated on finding something to say about it that was worth talking about here that I spent many hours, days, and weeks trying to stay on topic and combine all the bits together in one cohesive thing. It just didn’t work. Like the song, don’t like the song in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter but it’s important you look at why you do like it despite the controversy surrounding it. Sometimes the why matters. Sometimes why it matters is just that you’ll admit it to yourself. Texas’ favorite fat, Black, flautist has some accusations against her and there are way better people to talk about it than me so I’m going to cover the part that I’m qualified to talk about (costuming) and stay in my lane the way that white lady on the dock should have.
