This has been my favorite piece in this last issue of The Bitter Southerner. So glad it's now online to share!
"10 Rules for Going Feral" from J. Drew Lanham

I love them all - but the one that speaks to me right now:
"Stay away from rules that make you otherwise than who heart tells you to be.”

I hate that #TheBitterSoutherner doesn't have an RSS feed, and I dont expect they'll move over here anytime soon, but I still get their emails so I haven't completely lost touch. Treated myself to an early Xmas gift, which arrived today: Volume 5 of The Bitter Southerner Reader.

You can find The Bitter Southerner's playlists on Spotify, but I always create my own on YouTube Music, too. If you're there, put this one on shuffle for the next few months and enjoy!

The Bitter Southerner's best Southern albums list is one of my favorite annual events, in which I consistently find a diverse range of great new music that wouldn't have hit my radar otherwise. True to BS's mission, it defies lazy stereotypes of what "Southern" can and should mean.
This year's list includes a personal fave (Ghetto Gods), a couple I knew via my music snob son, and bunch of new-to-me to explore.
