find your way home.

yet another celebrity that i love passed away as hundreds of champagne bottles labeled “clapton” and “woody allen” remain uncorked in hundreds of fridges across america

it's crazy there's a band as good as death grips and their fans aren't evil in a pretentious way but evil in the way they seriously undervalue the art

i make this post like every month and it never gets reblogged but it is now so i want to be clear this is because of racism. the death grips fans who can't interact with the music/art/stefan burnett's image sincerely are being racist

i saw a tumblr post a while ago that implied that the purpose of book reviews is to help the author get better at their craft by evaluating the book and pointing out its strengths and weaknesses, and i disagree with that so strongly. a book review is not for the author of the book you’re writing about. it’s for potential readers, and readers who want to see someone else’s thoughts on the book. and on a more personal level, it’s for you, the reviewer, to bring your own analysis and your unique perspective to the review. a book review is about the book you’re reviewing, obviously, but it’s also about you, and what that book meant to you, and why it affected you the way it did. a book review can and should discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the book, but not for the purpose of instructing the writer how to improve their craft. that’s not your job. the author of the book may read your review, but if you have the idea that you’re writing for them, that you’re their editor or pr manager, then you misunderstand the purpose of a book review, and your review will suffer for it.
