Hello beloveds! I’m back with a new babblings podcast episode dissecting celebrity worhsip, parasocial relationships, and investigating whether art is required to be moral??? I’ve been ruminating on these thoughts for some time per usual and of course it’s timely with our noise diving economy and somehow growing consumption of celebrities. I hope you enjoy and I say this multiple times but don’t get defensive! This is about us, it’s about understanding that it’s us versus them! They will never be one of us no matter how hard they try to cling to relevancy.

xoxo, Ali Ann
