the essay, california dreaming, is the truest show of how rich white men cannot fathom an intellectual woman. they allowed joan didion into their meetings, told her to stay out of conversation as the topics were too “high powered”, and then she publishes an essay reading them to filth, basically calling them useless. i’m obsessed with her

“[i] appreciate all the opiates of the people, whether they are as accessible as alcohol and heroin and promiscuity or as hard to come by as faith in god or history” i would pray joan didions pen never fell against me

“there’d never been a good republican folksinger” so true miss baez

it is really hard for me to comprehend these are real stories…she was really just kiking with john wayne
