author’s note: the title is absolutely from invisible string by taylor swift. go give it a listen! :)

There’s been a strange amount of tension between Robert and you recently. The two of you have always had a strange sort of tension between you, but within the past few weeks, it’s been almost unbearable. You swear that Robert’s gazes are turning infinitely more focused and heated—a notion you hadn’t thought to be possible. 

Amanda has been away at college for a little over two years now. She loves the college life and, as much as you miss having her around, it’s amazing to see her flourishing at school. She even had a photography exhibit of her own work this past month—something that you flew all the way to Home Institute for the Arts to see. You're immensely proud of her; She’s grown up so fast. 

Meanwhile, you’ve been going about your life back in Maple Bay. Things are about the same as they were two years ago. Thankfully, you’re far more accustomed to the neighborhood now. You can’t help but feel grateful as you reflect back on the leap of faith that drove you to move to Maple Bay. You hardly knew anything about the area—just that the house would be great. It’s crazy to think about how many new friends you’ve made in your neighborhood and, hell, just on your cul-de-sac. 

Robert is probably the dad you’re the closest with, in your curious little group of fathers. The two of you met at Jim and Kim’s, when you’d been looking for an excuse to leave Amanda and her friends to their sleepover at your house. Your first meeting had been a little strange, but, then again, most good things are. You remember what you had thought of Robert at the time: handsome, mysterious, alluring. All of those things still apply, of course, but you’re starting to unravel the mystery of the rugged man. 

You hadn’t seen a lot of Robert after your nighttime conversation about his regrets in life, his desires to be a better person. You didn’t want to force your presence onto him when he was in such a trying time, so you forced yourself to be content with the rare, spontaneous late-night texts from him. As Robert focused on himself, you decided to get to know the other fathers a little better. Before long, you’re meeting up with Mat every week at his coffee shop, helping him test products and brainstorm ideas. Hugo, Damien, Joseph, and you start weekly book-club meetings, which are really just an excuse for Hugo to rant about his students. Brian and you will occasionally meet up and hang out (read: brag about your daughters) on weekends. Craig will drag you out of bed for a morning run sometimes. Robert never quite slips from your mind, but you’re able to distract yourself pretty well. You resist the compelling urge to send him a message on DadBook and ask after his wellbeing. He’ll be fine. 

Indeed, Robert is entirely fine. After your somewhat flimsy level of contact for a year and a half, he breaks his silence and asks you to meet him at Jim and Kim’s one night. You reply almost instantly and agree. The ensuing minutes are comprised of you throwing on a million different outfits. Nothing feels quite right. Eventually, you settle on a midnight blue sweater—Amanda’s present to you at the holidays—and jeans. Your daughter isn’t here to make fun of your panic, but you can hear her teasing you in your head regardless.  

When you walk into Jim and Kim’s, you’re unsurprised to find Robert sitting off to the side in a booth. Mary sits across from him. You head over to the table and say hello, hesitating for a moment as you stare at the booth. Where should you sit? Mary solves that problem for you, as she slides over and pats the seat next to her. You roll your eyes lightheartedly and sit down, pretending not to notice Robert’s burning gaze. 

It’s nice to talk to Robert again. Hell, it’s nice to talk to Mary too. Then again, she seems to be pretty tipsy right now. She’s swaying in her seat, a strange haze in her eyes. Robert doesn’t seem to be concerned about her. You aren’t worried either—Mary has proven countless times that she can hold her liquor. The three of you talk through the night. Mary retells the story about those infamous pot brownies she found someone making and you laugh far louder than you should. Robert’s eyes twinkle and he hides his mouth behind his hand, evidently amused. 

The three of you have another round of drinks. Mary downs her whiskey in one go, prompting you to raise your eyebrows at her. She doesn’t seem to notice your surprise, as she continues discussing something with Robert. Their conversation ends a few minutes later and, to your surprise, Mary’s gaze is now focused on you. 

There’s a strange gleam in the woman’s eyes. It almost looks hungry.  You haven't been on the receiving end of that gaze since the night you first met. Dread coils in your chest. Mary leans impossibly closer, very nearly causing you to fall out of the booth. You grip the table for support. Just as Mary’s eyes begin to gleam, she’s interrupted. 

“Mary,” Robert warns, a murderous expression on his face for reasons you can’t quite discern. Mary blinks at him and her gaze immediately sharpens. A smirk rises on her face. You don’t know what that could possibly mean, but you get the feeling that Robert knows, because he glares at her in return. 

“I see how it is,” Mary remarks lightly, not at all threatened by Robert’s pointed glare. “Slide over, hon. Time to find my next victim...” You get up obediently, allowing Mary to rise out of her seat at the booth and walk away. She sends a wave over her shoulder. You huff out a laugh upon noticing that, within these few moments, she already has some poor sap ensnared. You turn back to Robert, fully intending to crack a joke, only to notice that he’s entirely silent. It isn’t his normal type of silence—there’s a troubled expression on his face as he stares at where Mary had just been sitting. 

“Robert?” Robert promptly breaks out of his reverie. His gaze returns to you once more. It takes all your willpower not to wilt under his commanding stare. For a long moment, neither of you say anything. You move to sit down, but Robert instead slams a hand on the table and gets to his feet. 

“I’m done with this.” You don't get the chance to ask him just what that means, before he’s grabbing your wrist and yanking you to follow behind him. His grip is loose and despite your rising adrenaline, you decide to go with him anyway. Robert steers you out of Jim and Kim’s with a singleminded determination. He turns on his heel and walks into the narrow alleyway between the bar and the building next to it. Quick as lightning, Robert pushes you into the brick wall behind you. His hands are on your shoulders and he takes a deep breath, looking down to the ground for a moment. 

“Robert...” You breathe, your heart hammering in your chest. You don’t know what to say, so you keep quiet. 

“I’ve spent these past few years trying to become a better person,” Robert begins, an unreadable expression on his face. His fingers twitch as he grips your shoulders. “I made up with Val, I curbed the unhealthy drinking habits... I’ve done everything I could to become that better person that I knew I could be.” There’s a long pause of silence. Having long familiarized yourself with Robert’s aptitude for silence, you decide to let it go.

“I don’t loathe myself,” Robert remarks, his eyes flitting about your face. There’s something significant in the pause that he takes before continuing to speak. You’re suddenly brutally aware of his proximity—the musky scent of his cologne, the strange gleam in his eyes. “Not anymore.”

“Robert, that’s-” You try to say, but he cuts you off. 

“Even so, there's been something off,” Robert says, his eyebrows furrowing. “That conversation we had two years ago has been constantly running through my head.” You blink at Robert in disbelief, completely thrown by his uncharacteristic honesty. 

Admittedly, the conversation from two years ago has been weighing on your mind too. You think back to the exchanged promises under the pink petals of the cherry blossom tree in your yard. Robert asserted that he wanted to become the person you deserved. You had pulled him in for a hug and reassured him. 

“I wanted to see-” Robert says, breaking you out of your thoughts. He shakes his head for a moment. It’s clear that being this verbose is taking a toll on him. You put a hand on his shoulder for a moment and the man pinches the bridge of his nose. “-if I still have that chance.” The statement isn’t a question, but Robert raises his eyebrows at you and waits for an answer. You meet his eyes and nod. 

You’re pretty sure you understand what he’s alluding to, but you could be wrong. Robert isn’t making any movements, instead deigning to stare at you in the dimly lit alleyway. For several seconds, the two of you are entirely still. Just as you’re about to ask for clarification, Robert presses you into the wall and kisses you. His hands slip from your shoulders down to your waist and you loop your arms around his neck, earning you a satisfied noise from Robert. 

Just as soon as the kiss begins, Robert is breaking away from you. You look at him in confusion, admittedly feeling a bit of whiplash. The man doesn’t let you stew in your confusion for very long, however, as his head falls and he nips at your collarbone. You let out a strangled breath and tangle your fingers in his hair. 

This exchange is giving you deja vu. You remember your night at Robert’s two years ago, the devastated look in his eyes even as he ran his hands up your skin. There’s no trace of that misery or grief in his expression now. Robert seems more confident now. He had been confident before, but this time, it seems different. He seems more assured of himself. 

Before long, your lips meet again and you smile.

(Pinterest TOS post- if this image is flagged here too it will just make my point even more concrete- that the sites we all frequent just want to erase literal reality)

So we all know censorship/TOS changes amongst the internet love to cause removal of LGBTQ+ content no matter if it’s “adult content” or not- Tumblr and Pinterest specifically come to mind.

These two websites remove content related to that demographic like it’s their fking drug of choice to do so.

And this pisses me off of course- having people be told their content is a violation just brings up the fact society thinks they’re a violation. They do this while allowing those bots that I won’t mention by name to swarm us in abundance.

But I don’t post queer content- I consume it, but have never been very involved in the internet community related to it. Yesterday, though it’s happened before, I felt what it’s like being told my experience is a violation, and this time something snapped inside of me:

Pinterest alerted me I violated their TOS of “adult content” with this image:

“Amanda and her cousin, Amy” by Mary Ellen Clark. 1990 Valdese, North Carolina

Let’s move past the fact their claiming two 9 year olds in bathing suits is “adult content” and look at the bigger picture- I violated their TOS by adding a photo to a board that was taken by a very well known photographer across the globe for street + social photography. A photo that doesn’t have any “adult content” in it, and instead is documenting the way a lot of kids outside of the pretty suburbs live.

The photographer of this photo documented children who lived lives most of you couldn’t even fathom; ones who sold themselves on the street and ones who had babies while the rest of their age group was playing Nintendo or chatting about George Michael’s hair at a sleepover.

I was so excited and in awe when I saw the photo above: for the very first time in my life, I saw a photo of two kids that reminded me of myself. The life I lived, while the rest of my age group lived in their pretty suburbia & had mommy + daddy home everyday to cater to their every need. I saw through not only this photo but many others in her series, my life in beautiful pictures- I never really realized I hadn’t until this moment.

This photo, and the others surrounding Mary Ellen Mark’s work, document the lives so many people/kids like me lived within: they document the reality typical society can’t bear to look at. God forbid you look at us and really take us in- we’re just oh so shameful, right?

Just like the LGBTQ+ content tumblr and Pinterest love to censor, remove, block- our lives fucking existed. Children like this? They existed and currently still exist. Just because it doesn’t fit your world view doesn’t mean you can remove it… maybe if sites left photos like this alone, someone could come along and go “wow… she’s like me” just as I had the opportunity to do. Maybe they could gain the opportunity to realize that they’re not shameful to society- they too, are just a part of it as the kids they go to school with.

For the first time in my life, my childhood was displayed in someone’s photography and for the first time, I didn’t feel so alone.

So fuck you Pinterest, and thank you Mary Ellen Mark💗

Julia Logan presents: Forever Changes Around

The new album it's out now !

Sweet song and new album out

Julia Logan's new single 'Forever Changing Around' is released on the same day as her new album 'Faraway Nearby'. Both released on November 1st.

Listen the single in Spotify:

The dreamy folk-pop of Julia Logan exudes a voice at once both comforting and piercing. Channeling the likes of Carole King, Stevie Nicks, Tom Petty, and Sharon Van Etten her voice talks her way through the inner life of her own life and the lives of others in the small community that she grew up in. Accompanied by observant lyrics, bronzed and mellow melodies excellently produced and cowritten by Daniel Bengtson (Studio Rymden, First Aid Kit) soar to hit home the deeper point in songs that honor and long for human connection and respect. It might be their quiet revolt against a world increasingly obsessed with transactional relationships, blow-hard aspirations, and digital ’likes’ rather than a simple ’hello’ on the street. Julia Logan’s debut album, Everly Foreverly, features a duet with Nina Persson (The Cardigans) as well as drummers Kyle Crane (Kurt Vile, Madison Cunningham) and Karl “Hovis” Hovmark (Tove Lo) on separate tracks. Guitarist Peter Morén (Peter Bjorn and John) supports on many of the songs. Keyboardist Sofia Kristensen/Majvi contributes on piano and backup vocals.

A post shared by Julia Logan (@juliamlogan)

The album earned positive reviews by Swedish media, was nominated for Singer-Songwriter of the year at the Swedish Manifestgalan Awards, and allowed her to open for the likes of Madison Cunningham, Courtney Marie Andrews, Neko Case, Sarah Klang, and Amanda Bergman.

Her follow-up album ’Faraway Nearby,’ produced and co-written by Daniel Bengtson, explores themes of personal fears and changes, isolation, loss, getting older, hope, and finding your place in the world. The album will be released under Magnus Bohman’s label, Dumont Dumont, who helped launch José González career internationally. Released singles ’Mirrors,’ ’Moodswings,’ and ’Top of the World’ have already garnered attention in Stereogum and La Blogothèque, and on the renown LA and Seattle radio stations KCRW and KEXP.

Faraway Nearby it's out now in stores and on music platforms.

Written By: Julia Logan, Daniel Bengtson & Jonathan Milläng Produced By: Daniel Bengtson Recorded At: Studio Rymden Mixed By: Daniel Bengtson & @simonnord Mastered By: @hansolsson_ Photography By: @olofgrind Artwork By: @olofgrind A&R: @magnusbohmans

Musicians: Julia Logan, Daniel Bengtson, Karl Hovis Hovmark (@hovis ) Ola Gustafsson (@minkbandy ) Lois B Jakobson @lois.jakobson ) Kyle Crane (@kylejeffreycrane ) Lars Skoglund (@laaaaaaaaaars ) Klara Keller (@klarakeller ) Daniel Migdal (@daniel.migdal ) Erik Arvinder, Riikka Repo, Kristina Winiarski, Julia Nilsson

Sincere and warm, the dreamy folk-pop of Julia Logan finds her beauty in small moments of human longing — to connect, to love, to understand. With a voice at once both comforting and piercing she seems to be calling for simpler, slower, and more forgiving times in a world that seems to be careening out of order. Growing up on a small Swedish island outside of Stockholm, she got her start singing in a local church choir. After spending a few of her teenage years in southern California, where her mother’s from, she learned the guitar from a local hippie and started writing.  The music heard on Julia Logan’s debut album, Everly Foreverly, was made in close collaboration with First Aid Kit’s producer, Daniel Bengtson. Together with them in the studio, they brought in American drummer Kyle Crane, guitarist Peter Morén, Sofia Kristensen on piano and backup vocals, and a featured duet-cover with Nina Persson. Teaming up again with her producer and co-writer Daniel Bengtson, Julia’s sophomore album explores themes of personal fears and changes, isolation, loss, getting older, hope, and finding your place in the world. The album will be called “Faraway Nearby,” inspired by the painter Georgia O’keeffe. During the writing and recording process, Julia and Daniel took influences from Fleetwood Mac, Midlake, Bruce Springsteen, and Lucio Battisti. Many of the songs were written on piano and acoustic guitar — owing to a sonic mood that evokes feelings of yearning melancholy and hope.

EQUALISE NIGHTLIFE PROJECT: EXPLORING FEMININITY, SEXUALITY AND GENDER RELATIONS IN DRINKING CULTURE

The Equalise Nightlife project is a programme of research led by Dr Amanda Marie Atkinson, Reader in the Sociology of Public Health at LJMU, with research assistance from Beth Meadows. It explores women and LGBTQ+ people’s experiences of alcohol and nightlife spaces such as bars and clubs. Taking an intersectional feminist perspective, it investigates how drinking and nightlife are experienced unequally, and influenced by gendered alcohol brand and sexualised nightlife venue marketing. The exhibition presents a number of art works conceptualised and created by Amanda, such as sculpture and collaborative photography, as well as poetry created by research participants. The works are informed by findings of an analysis of alcohol brand and venue marketing, interviews with women (N=130) and LGBTQ+ people (N=70), and discussions with marketers (N=27) and venues (N=15). The exhibition explores the: • pleasures and risks involved in drinking and nightlife participation • importance of drinking and nightlife culture to feminine and LGBTQ+ identity making • targeting of women and LGBTQ+ people by alcohol brands and venues, and the influence of commercial messages • inequalities that exist in nightlife and drinking including the normalisation of unwanted (sexual) attention

Please note that the pieces cover sensitive issues such as unwanted sexual attention that may be triggering for some.
