I say a variation on this weekly: “constantly being told “well, nobody else had a problem with this” doesn’t mean you were wrong, it means that no one else spoke up about it.” Thank you, Alix! Enjoy your trip to Middleburg!
This is a PHENOMENAL interview. So much good stuff. Thank you Alix! Also remembering Willie Aames, the *other* toxic bro in “Zapped.” Core foundational normalizing memory, I am realizing!
I love that you have a "coma" playlist -- I do, too! For years I've been telling my husband if I'm in a coma to play "Slippery People" from Stop Making Sense, on repeat, plus some Beatles and U2... to wake me up! (And I hope you're never in a coma)

Delightful! And wow, a flashback to sitting on a round seat in a huge Yellow Taxi as a child.
What a fantastic interview!
LOVE “I’m not, I was just thinking of myself at the time.” Intend to borrow copiously, esp for kids.
