        I've still not forgiven kirkus for the non review of LowerEd. This merely delays its eventual destruction by my hand.

        This playlist was curated by Lauren. Lauren is my research assistant and a musician in her own right. She was with me during every stage of writing #THICK and was very instrumental in shaming me into doing the final editing, which I hate.

        Lauren is sooooo shy about sharing her art with people that she won't even send me a link to her latest work. But she is a former session musician, current music teacher, and sociology M.S. candidate who studies the social networks of alt-right & conservative politicians
