ABOUT JEN

Who starts a blog in 2023? Don't we have enough blogs by millennial white women? Why do all cooking blogs write a Dickens novel before getting to the recipe?

​

Me, I guess. Absolutely, we do. Maybe for the SEO figures?

​

Anyway, I'm Jen. I'm a proud Chicagoan, native Arkansan, and rule of 3 breaker. I've started this blog as a way to communicate my thoughts on culture. Pop culture has always interested me, and societal culture has always frustrated me. I've often found that when there were critiques of culture items people had a lot to say but little that they mean. I'm hoping to give myself a place to give commentary on things I enjoy. Do I think this blog will change the world and the way we think about culture? Nope, but if someone thinks more critically on a subject they didn't care about before, I'd consider that a win, even if that someone is me.

​

Things I like: Mystery Novels, The Discography of Taylor Swift, Disney Theme Parks, HALLOWEEN, Hard Cider, Board Games, The Television Renaissance, Oscar bait movies, Vintage and Vintage-inspired fashion, Star Wars, Dodgers Baseball, Diversity Equity and Inclusion, and Theatre

*Please note that in solidarity of the WGA and SAG/AFTRA strikes, Movies and Television will not be discussed here until a fair deal is struck with the studios and streamers.*

​

Things I don't like: self-important About Me pages, writing About Me pages, climate change and its effects on our daily existence, and Theatre... it's complicated.
