loved this she’s so cool lol such an interesting life she leads and her insight on the death of the audience was fascinating and especially prescient in our time now feel like there’s such general disdain for anyone caring at any length about the art they consume if they’re vocal about it like the problem has gotten sm worse in only 15 years
