Absolutely thrilled to get an acceptance today from @thestring_mag for my story "Hb34#d12"! Can't wait to see the debut issue of this exciting new magazine, their overarching theme of living with modern technology is truly fascinating.

We spoke about everything from Lana Del Rey's impact on 2010's hipster culture to the challenges of writing authentically about technology.
"There was a website, Hipster Run Off, that was like a parody of hipster culture...it went into a death spiral at the beginning of Lana Del Rey's career. They couldn't work out: was she authentic or not? The joke being that probably nothing was “authentic”. We were all fashioning selves."

"It's not just in the mind, it's physically like we are mutating, you know, in these subtle little ways. And the theme of the body in the age of machines, that's really the only way I feel able to articulate it."

4/ They said it couldn't be done, but @mitchtherieau manages to capture our fuzzy fascination with "vibes" by combining lucid intuitions with a deep-dive into counter-culture history. 'Vibe, Mood, Energy​: Or, Bust-Time Reenchantment' @thedrift_mag thedriftmag.com/vibe-mood-en…
