Is there a way to “cycle” through a @SpotifyUK @Spotify playlist? I want to go beyond my usuals. Maybe like New Music Friday highlights reel and then narrow down what I want to fully explore. Release radar is more targeted but doesn’t help me find new songs or artists?

It’s 2am and I’ve somehow written a 12 minute essay about @ladygaga, parasocial relationships, queerness, performance, intersex shame, identity construction, celebrity culture, and the psychological function of pop music. Which I realise sounds deeply unwell.

It’s about growing up alongside Gaga rather than “knowing” her. About what art can do when it becomes part of the architecture of your becoming. About performance, survival, and why strange people often find each other through symbolism before language. open.substack.com/pub/anickw…

Every brand wants to be a therapy session, social movement, prestige drama, and moral authority all at once. Meanwhile, the product itself is often buried underneath the performance. open.substack.com/pub/anickw…

I wrote this essay as a reflective long read on loneliness, projection, hyper-independence, and the uncomfortable reality that many of us are trying to balance the fear of being “too much” with the fear of never being enough at all. anickwrites.medium.com/tryin…

Addiction. Abuse. Exploitation. Entire fortunes built on other people’s pain.

If a system rewards harm and calls it success, perhaps the illusion is not laziness. Perhaps the illusion is meritocracy itself.

Corruption rarely announces itself. It dresses as innovation. Greed rarely looks monstrous. It often becomes marketed as aspiration or growth.

We spend a lot of our lives being “sorted” by ideas of sex and gender. My essay is not a hot take or a manifesto. It is my experience that gender is a chaotic, multi-layered mess. And how embodiment still matters even when identity shifts. anickwrites.medium.com/gende…
