Question: Just read Clara's Barbie nomination reaction post on Hmmm That's Interesting. Thoughts on Greta Lee and Celine Song not receiving nominations in their respective categories? Or Jung Kook not getting a grammy nod? It is so surprising.

Hi, Molly! Well, I could say a lot of things, but I think the short answer is that voters for both of those organizations are primarily older white men and Greta, Celine and Jungkook aren't on their radar. I remember a while ago, a member of the voting academy for the Oscars said that they knew of quite a few people who voted without ever having seen even the screeners provided to them. 😬

hello!

my name is dove, and you have just become an insanely huge inspiration for me! i'm an aspiring music and cultural journalist, and just started my own blog (www.thedovebug.com), however, i have yet to find my community online, and am feeling pretty lost and lonely.

i write about the relationship between music and culture, how one cannot exist without the other, especially in regards to political climates, ethnic and racial cultures, music history, and so forth.

i really enjoy k-pop, and write about it pretty frequently, especially the music's connection to korean culture, economy and society. and i feel like a lot of your writing also reflects that!

so i was hoping that you could check out my blog, and my own writing, if you ever get the chance. it would mean a whole lot! i'll be posting weekly (critical essays, personal musings, opinion pieces, etc.), and would love if you stay updated on it and gave me some of your thoughts (my first post is already up)!

i was also wondering if there was any better way to connect with you? is there a place where i could message you one-on-one about some questions? i'm looking to do something really similar to what you've done, and would love to get some advice and feedback on how you accomplished everything!
