here’s a story I’ve been working on for a few months, about how professional musicians who’ve chosen motherhood deal with an industry that’s poorly equipped to support them. we dug deep, but barely scratched the surface.
one absolutely bizarro detail from this week is that Anna Wintour—seated indoors at a conference table—did not remove her sunglasses while she was telling us that we were about to get canned. the indecency we’ve seen from upper management this week is appalling.
.@pitchfork is rolling out its tentpole year-end lists this week, which would not exist without the staff members who remain in the dark as to whether they’ll still have a job at the end of the month. happy reading : )
I got laid off today and am not feeling particularly gracious about it right now! gonna take a break from…everything?…for a little while. holler at talktohussey at gmail and I’ll get back eventually 💌
