I have an essay in the Nashville Scene! It’s about the joy of watching Lizzo’s show Watch Out for the Big Grrrls while reckoning with a very different competition show that did a lot of harm. That other show shan’t be named, but IYKYK. A deep well of gratitude for Erica Ciccarone for editing and cheerleading this piece.

Read Watch Out for the Big Tears here. If you’re on TikTok, you can watch the video I made about the essay here.

P.S. Read my other published essays: Be in the Picture and Monday Morning Nudes.
