Sorry for our absence yesterday — we were busy day drinking at Six Flags (no, really). Nothing reminds you of your daily reality of being chained to your desk quite like a roller coaster. Despite being flung around upside down at 70 mph, though, we still managed to put out a considerable number of things to read. The content doesn’t quit, baby!

Magdalene Taylor is a junior staff writer at MEL, where she began working two weeks after graduating college. Her work is a blend of cultural analysis and service, covering everything from reconsiderations of low-brow hits like Joe Dirt and Nickelback to contemporary disability issues, OnlyFans and the types of minor questions about life like why baby carrots are so wet. She’s also reported on social media phenomena like “simps” and “pawgs.” In 2018, she published her 111-page undergraduate thesis on Insane Clown Posse, the Juggalo subculture and the subversive aesthetics of class. She is from God’s Country, rural Western Massachusetts.
