A self-proclaimed “gun-toting liberal,” Willow Avalon has a new album out aptly titled “Pink Pocket Pistol,” the follow up to her 2025 LP “Southern Belle Raisin’ Hell.” Avalon’s music has caught fire particularly among young women, but that’s not the only demographic listening in. “It’s been so cool to see the response of other Southern women,” Avalon says of the record, “how they love that it’s sweet and Southern and scary and sparkling, and how they resonate with it — and how their husbands resonate with it. I have grown men writing me being like, ‘This song about killing men is the best song ever.’” @RollingStone has more:

Santorini had been on my photography bucket list for years. Even though I wasn't feeling my best that morning, there was no way I was leaving without capturing those iconic blue domes overlooking the Aegean Sea. Some moments are worth pushing through for.

When did internet comments get...
people who complained about #MidsomerMurders lack of diversity didn't get that it’s a show about dispelling the myth of white supremacist solidarity.
so much of the white-on-white violence is by nepobaby manchildren pissed they can keep riding on their families’ names & fortunes.
the show is not only a master class on the consequences of late-stage #capitalism. it’s brilliant at showing the decline of English hegemony & the villainy of British class #warfare.
