absolutely overjoyed to announce i’ve officially been made paste magazine’s associate editor! it’s a tough time for criticism, but i’m so grateful to continue working to keep it alive with some of the best in the game. as always feel free to pitch me at casey@pastemagazine.com!

happy teens of denial / joe’s story day! to celebrate, @grace_roso and i had a 2.5 hour conversation about our relationship to ToD, the merits and pitfalls of joe’s story, whether 14 y/os still check CDs out from libraries, and more. read it below<3 pastemagazine.com/music/car-seat…

@epsteingross @PasteMagazine ToD means so much to both of us and we both wanted to commemorate it, so instead of a traditional anniversary retrospective, we decided to roundtable it. Two versions of the same album in conversation, two writers in conversation as well.

@epsteingross and I went long as hell on Teens of Denial and Joe's Story for @PasteMagazine pastemagazine.com/music/car-seat…

I can't believe I didn't see this in the quotes. What are we even doing here

had a blast chatting w/ kevin drew and andrew whiteman for this!

i don’t know which of these i’m most baffled by (although most appalled certainly goes to liz phair and olivia rodrigo lol)

okay so we’re just saying anything now

@RachelBrods wrote a 4k word piece this morning and ctrl+f’d for punctuation: 33 em-dashes, 31 colons, and shockingly only 11 semi-colons which genuinely took me off guard. also 331 commas

@epsteingross Yup yup yup — [EMDASH] all I know is that I have a lot of thoughts; [SEMICOLON] I need to fit as many of them into one sentence as possible

one thing about me is i will always extend a sentence

@RachelBrods THANK you i feel insane sometimes reading people’s short ass sentences. like i’m impressed don’t get me wrong but do you not get The Itch

@epsteingross Completely same

if i had my way it’d be societally acceptable to use a semi-colon, a colon, an em-dash, and multiple commas all in a single sentence

AI can pry em-dashes from my cold dead hands

I wonder if I’ll ever regret dedicating my life to obsession with stupid shit for morons

is there anything more chic than badly playing wiffleball in a fur coat, miniskirt, and knee high boots

shoutout @marvin_thebrand for letting me traipse around nyc with my friends to model the new geese glasses. bands if you ever need cool gals to take pics with your sunglasses brand just hit @grace_roso and i up. we’re there

Modeled the geese glasses for @marvin_thebrand

@grace_roso streets are saying we’re the coolest to ever do it

outtakes with my girl @epsteingross
