something that struck me about the Women’s Day event is that oftentimes these women-in-business focused events talk a lot about the balance of motherhood and working which is important and should be spoken about rather than silenced, however it does reinforce the idea that motherhood is a default stage of a woman’s life and I really despise that sentiment

I cannot imagine being as dedicated to my work and career as this woman. business and leadership type stuff bores the hell out of me. this is nothing against the book of course, it is written really well and I’m having fun reading it (look how much I’ve read in just two days!) but this specific lifestyle is just my personal nightmare. she’s pregnant on top of all that too. lord have mercy

PREPPING FOR TONY!!!! FOR MY BEST FRIENDS MATT JOHNSON AND DOMINIC SESSA!!!! IT’S GOING TO GROSS ONE TONYLLION DOLLARS!!!!!

everything really is tuberculosis

loving this

depressing!

I do enjoy hearing about his relationships with his family and kids etc! Marlon’s stories are absolutely bananas.

okay I think I’ve reached my limit on the drug stories! I get the picture

Exile on Main Street is my favorite album of theirs so I loved hearing about how it was made even though just reading about the kinds of chaos that ensued is giving me hives. because I am the way that I am, I think about the prospect of a Rolling Stones movie every day and I think the making of Exile would make for a very good Safdie-esque stressful watch with some fun musical sequences thrown in

I like hearing about how some of their more iconic songs were created. it's interesting that Gimme Shelter wasn't written with the intention of being a protest song of sorts. I also was enjoyed his discussion on the discovery of open tuning (though I don't exactly know what all of it means) and how that changed their music. so much good music is made by experimenting and not following the rules!

the way he talks about women makes me feel like I'm being hunted for sport a little bit but fork found in kitchen I suppose.

I'm learning a lot about different kinds of drugs and different high-class art people in London in the late 60s and I'm only paying attention a little bit to all of that. I'm mostly reading this because I want to hear about his beef with Mick.

going to age myself here, not sorry about it. but it’s amazing how physical media was almost a currency, at least back in the early to mid 60s. I think we take for granted how much music we have access to now via Spotify. it almost makes it feel less special?

what a guy. I’m always blown away when I think about how Keith and Mick knew each other when they were kids.

I feel like Keith painted a nice picture of postwar England in these first two chapters and I’m excited to read more. his understanding of his childhood is so interesting, he’s endured a lot of stuff people nowadays would find absolutely unacceptable. he also has nice words about being an only child

I’m actually so scared. this is so good and it combines a lot of my favorite #things in stories. but I’m so scared right now

something about the narrator using her heartbeat to figure out time is so beautiful to me

lowkey female lord of the flies? I should reread lord of the flies. this book also smells really good
