👋 The Privilege of Leaving Social Media — Being a Working Writer & Valuing Art with River Selby

“My constant longing to be without social media is actually a longing to be in deeper connection with the world.” River Selby was born in Los Angeles and grew up in the Pacific Northwest.

🎸 If Indie Sleaze Was 3 Novels… By Women!

This one goes out to all my cooler-than-thou millennials tuning in — because this week I’m sharing books set in the indie sleaze scene! If you’re not familiar with indie sleaze, think skinny jeans, sweaty clubs, early aughts attitude and bands like The Strokes, LCD Soundsystem, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.The scene was dominate by boys-in-bands, but in my personal (admittedly nostalgic) experience the music venues were full of women! So I wanted to find books by all the girls in the crowds like me, who loved this music but maybe weren’t well-represented there.Tune in for three books that are also playlists. I hope you enjoy! 🎸Indie Sleaze Reads I Recommend: 06:15 — Lo Fi by Liz Riggs + the playlist 13:15 — Deep Cuts by Holly Brickley + the playlist 19:00 — I Love You So Much It’s Killing Us Both by Mariah Stovall + the playlist And if you love this episode, you might also love the documentary Meet Me in the Bathroom!
