here’s what i think. i think that if you watch a drama about first responders who risk their lives on a daily basis, but you watch it because you think it’s a slow burn romance because someone online told you it was, and then you turn around and claim that the show is “making fun of you” or “laughing in your face” or being “cruel to the fandom” - well, i think you’ve probably convinced yourself that this show is something that it isn’t.

people die. firefighters die. and you know what, babies and children die. to think that bobby’s beautiful full-circle story was anything but carefully crafted - we’re not watching the same show. like, we can’t be. you’re watching edits on tiktok. you’re watching week to week and clinging to anything that feeds the machine. 9-1-1, from season one (skipped by many apparently, which is a damn shame), has never shied away from the darkness of the human existence, and it never will. this show isn’t what you’ve told yourself it is. there’s nothing to be afraid of, though - you can enjoy darkness, you can appreciate it. no one is pranking you. no one is laughing at you. you can enjoy it for what it is. think your own thoughts.

"I like Sinéad. She’s a passionate little singer. And I understand her saying, “I hate this job.” It’s a horrible job. People don’t realize how horrible it is. Making music is great. The exploitation of it is horrible. And I think you’ve got to be hard as nails. Maybe that’s where Madonna has the edge on us. Maybe she doesn’t think it’s horrible. I think it’s degrading, humiliating — so does Sinéad. Whereas Madonna’s above being degraded or humiliated. She flirts with it. And perhaps that bravado is in some ways to be applauded, but at what cost to her soul, is my question."

—Joni Mitchell interviewed for Rolling Stone, October 1991.

"How do you feel about another new queen of rock, Sinéad O’Connor?"

Hey I’m not over that tiny 10 second subplot in severance that had a woman undergo severance just so she wouldn’t have to feel the pain of childbirth. The thought of a woman existing with no idea of who she is or where she is just to give birth and then never see the child again and essentially die until this woman has another kid is like. The most terrible horror story I can comprehend

Joni Mitchell writing “Both Sides, Now” at the age of the 23 is something that just shouldn’t be possible. No offence to 23 year olds. I was one once, a pretty cool one even. But that depth and wisdom and profundity is supposed to be one’s reward for growing old. That song, sung by her now, tonight, feels relevant now, tonight, because it’s eternal. And she wrote it when she was TWENTY THREE. I will never get over this.
