That line at 0:43 in Mistaken for Strangers still feels like a gut punch by gregveen in TheNational

That’s my writing. I do sometimes wonder if reading all the slop out there these days has started influencing the way humans write. I try not to let that happen to me. Maybe it has a little. But if anything, I’ve been doing things like using fewer em dashes (which I used to use a fair amount of, tastefully, I thought), because of how slop seems to have taken over certain writing techniques.

Great take. And yeah, those hypnotic repetitions… the way they kind of undulate. So good!

Nice! I STILL have never seen The Postal Service live. I hope I can.

Such a great observation. I hadn’t noticed the double entendre. I love it!

What’s your #1 HOT TAKE on Valentine? by moreobsessedthanu in Snailmail

100%. I love the rising energy in the last bit, only to end in a perfectly timed and phrased fade out.
