SAD13 is SADIE DUPUIS

 

It’s very strange (“Or not strange at all! Hi!” says feminism) that most of the music we funnel into little girls’ ears——even music written by former little girls——is about how women are petty, pretty garbage whose only valuable function is to hold perfectly still in men’s boudoirs and wait for intercourse. “I wanted to make songs that were the opposite of ‘Genie in A Bottle’ or ‘The Boy Is Mine,’” Sadie Dupuis says of Slugger, her new solo album under the name Sad13. “Songs that put affirmative consent at the heart of the subject matter and emphasize friendship among women and try to deescalate the toxic jealousy and ownership that are often centered in romantic pop songs.” What!? Songs for women that actually champion women’s autonomy, reflect women’s desires, listen to women when they talk, and let women be funny and normal and cool, like women actually are?

#sportdeath my college dorm at @MIT is closing. if you have time read @qz's article about it, "MIT is “fixing” the low graduation rate in its low-income, LGBT-friendly dorm by kicking everyone out" i went to 3 different colleges, lived in 4 student housings. but senior haus is the 1 i always refer to as "my college dorm." MIT's dorms come w/ a set of personality descriptors so incoming students can self-select into the one that fits best. year 1 at MIT i lived in a dorm that was "jocky." it wasn't the dorm's fault, but i experienced the worst depression & felt very socially isolated. i failed almost all my core classes & was in a bad way w/r/t my mental health twds the end of the year i went to steer roast, an annual alumni reunion in the courtyard of senior haus that was like a micro-music fest. (apparently nirvana once played steer roast??) i loved roast, & the friends i was making who lived in senior haus whose thoughts and ideas and TASTES IN MUSiC AND ART excited me. so i moved there for my 2nd year at MIT. it was the most "real world" exp. i had at college, by which i mean i wasn't coddled. the "bads" were mostly that i reeeeally didn't get along w/ some neighbors, which tbh prepared me for the rest of my life. blessing in disguise? the goods: i could go on & on, but it was the first time i had any agency at all as a student. i learned who i was & who i wanted to be. i could PAINT my bedroom. i wasn't forced into a meal plan/learned to cook. ppl were awake at all hours; i learned to b an insomniac writer. my first real band rehearsed in the basement practice space & we recorded the first quilty songs there. playing roast was cool too, first with quilty & later headlining it w/ speedy! living at senior house made me happy. my grades improved--humble brag but i had all As that year, a big change from Failing Everything. i'm one of those 20% of senior haus residents who never graduated MIT, but i don't think think i'm a failure. senior haus was 1 of the reasons i realized im a writer and not a mathematician--i got an MFA in the end. i figured out who i wanted to be at senior haus & i don't know how any1 could argue that's a bad thing
cosplaying as rosé, having an extremely good & humid Big Hair day. 💇🏽it's sad for me now to remember how i spent most of my life embarrassed about these naturally very curly locks!
EU/UK im still coming over, just a hair late. sorry köln & hamburg i hope i'll be back sooner than soon (especially hamburg where i once found *the best sweatpants i have ever loved*)
hello does anyone know anyone in any of these places who might like to let a relatively nice band sleep over? r u that somebody? specifically looking for cologne, hamburg, belfast & dublin. DM me... also come to these shows if you live here duh!
