"content": "\u003cp>It's an unfortunate facet of pop culture idolatry that the most dedicated fans -- the ones who start all-caps Facebook comment wars, those who physically follow the subjects of their devotion on the road just to scream about them in large groups -- sometimes actually end up ruining their idols for everyone else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether it's the sheer volume of the yelling or some other distasteful attribute, the aura (if you will) of their rabid fandom can actually distract to the point that it overshadows the beloved person or entity; it becomes difficult to judge or discuss the figure at hand's true qualities without taking into account the unpleasantness of his or her most fervent followers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most recently visible instance of this, of course, is the worst of the Bernie Bros -- Sanders supporters whose penchant for \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/JrGlaUo4JEE\" target=\"_blank\">misogyny and verbal abuse\u003c/a> have all but drowned out actual discourse about the candidate's policies. Another, perhaps less weighty example: Juggalos. Does anyone know if ICP's music is any good? I honestly can't recall a time I've purposefully listened to it. I'm pretty sure I don't like it, but at this point that's hard to separate from the approximately 500,000 terrible associations I already have with \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2010/aug/18/insane-clown-posse\" target=\"_blank\">their fanbase\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, friends, this is an exciting day: A bar has been lowered; a new archetype cemented. Let May 24, 2016 go down in history as the day we learned about the \u003ca href=\"https://broadly.vice.com/en_us/article/cant-shake-it-off-how-taylor-swift-became-a-nazi-idol\" target=\"_blank\">neo-Nazis who are also die-hard Swifties\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, \u003ca href=\"https://broadly.vice.com/en_us/article/cant-shake-it-off-how-taylor-swift-became-a-nazi-idol\" target=\"_blank\">according to Broadly\u003c/a>, \"Nazis and members of the 'alt right' — an Internet subculture that is best described as the venn diagram of hipster culture and white supremacy — have been spreading a conspiracy theory that [Taylor] Swift is a covert Nazi.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Firstly, Taylor Swift is a pure Aryan goddess, like something out of classical Greek poetry. Athena reborn. That's the most important thing,\" explains Andre Anglin, the writer of the white supremacist blog \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailystormer.com/\">the Daily Stormer\u003c/a>. \"It is also an established fact that Taylor Swift is secretly a Nazi and is simply waiting for the time when Donald Trump makes it safe for her to come out and announce her Aryan agenda to the world.

Another, perhaps less weighty example: Juggalos. Does anyone know if ICP's music is any good? I honestly can't recall a time I've purposefully listened to it. I'm pretty sure I don't like it, but at this point that's hard to separate from the approximately 500,000 terrible associations I already have with \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2010/aug/18/insane-clown-posse\" target=\"_blank\">their fanbase\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, friends, this is an exciting day: A bar has been lowered; a new archetype cemented.

As West writes in her excellent new memoir \u003cem>Shrill: Notes From a Loud Woman\u003c/em>, this nasty breed of vehemence is a regular and under-addressed workplace occurrence for many female journalists who make a living shedding light on issues pertaining to how we treat and talk about women -- particularly self-proclaimed fat women like her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Pretty much every day, at least one stranger seeks me out to call me a fat bitch (or some pithy variation thereof),” she writes, adding that together with rape and injury threats, “This is the barbarism — the eager abandonment of the social contract — that so many of us face simply for doing our jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-24832\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/Shrill_HC-800x1228.jpg\" alt=\"Shrill_HC\" width=\"800\" height=\"1228\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/Shrill_HC-800x1228.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/Shrill_HC-400x614.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/Shrill_HC-768x1178.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/Shrill_HC-1440x2210.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/Shrill_HC-1180x1811.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/Shrill_HC-960x1473.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/Shrill_HC.jpg 1613w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You may recognize West’s name from her work as a columnist for the \u003cem>Guardian\u003c/em>, or a freelancer for \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em>,\u003cem> Cosmopolitan\u003c/em>, and \u003cem>GQ\u003c/em>. Or perhaps you remember her as the Jezebel staffer who wrote a \u003ca href=\"http://jezebel.com/heres-what-it-feels-like-to-be-a-fat-person-on-a-plane-1488750726\" target=\"_blank\">vulnerable essay \u003c/a>about the “low-grade hostility” she faces from other passengers every time she flies simply because she’s a fat woman. The online responses to that article, she writes, included such disgusting comments as “I wouldn’t stoop to feminist levels and wish her bodily harm — castration/acid burning her face, etc. — on her, but if I did…”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe you remember her coming out against rape jokes, because, as she writes, “there is nothing novel or comedic or righteous about men using the threat of sexual violence to control non-compliant women.” She went head to head on \u003cem>Totally Biased\u003c/em> with comedian Jim Norton over that issue. Their debate stoked yet another avalanche of horrid comments that she details in \u003cem>Shrill\u003c/em>, such as this one: “Holes like this make me want to commit rape out of anger.” The rampage against her was so strong that West, who came up in the Seattle comedy scene, decided to quit going to open mics and comedy shows completely, which was “the toll of rocking the boat in an industry you love.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a phone conversation to promote her book tour for \u003cem>Shrill\u003c/em>, West tells me she has PTSD from the deluge of raging rape comments that were directed at her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have a hard time going to comedy clubs and seeing stand-up, and that’s not from an ideological perspective, but from a physical perspective,” she says. “When I go to a comedy club I’m like, ‘Which of these open mic comics lurking in the back corners has told me they hope I get raped and die on Twitter?’ I don’t feel comfortable there any more.” It’s a heartbreaking admission from someone so preternaturally funny in both the personal and political arenas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_24789\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-24789\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/lindy2-800x449.jpg\" alt=\"Lindy West\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/lindy2-800x449.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/lindy2-400x225.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/lindy2-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/lindy2-960x539.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/lindy2.jpg 970w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lindy West \u003ccite>(Jenny Jimenez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>One particularly revolting instance of online abuse got national exposure, when West contributed a moving piece about it to \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/545/if-you-dont-have-anything-nice-to-say-say-it-in-all-caps\" target=\"_blank\">This American Life\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> In the segment, she details how she confronted a troll who had impersonated her recently deceased, beloved father in order to launch social media attacks against her. Their eventual phone conversation, which West describes in \u003cem>Shrill\u003c/em>, serves as a monumental moment for anyone who has gone to battle with any level of troll, from the garden personalized-attack variety to the more insidious Gamergate and swatter variety detailed in a recent\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/29/magazine/the-serial-swatter.html?_r=1\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem> New York Times Magazine\u003c/em> story\u003c/a>. West’s harasser broke down, apologized, and admitted that he’d gone after her out of jealousy of her confidence. She now has an admirable level of empathy for trolls, many of whom she believes are just miserable people hiding behind the Internet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'll acknowledge the experiences coloring my own views here: You don’t work in digital media without dealing with some level of trolling. When I was editor-in-chief at The Bold Italic, we were constantly weeding out heinous responses to our writers’ personal essays. But in reading this memoir by West, a writer I’ve long admired for her wicked sense of humor and astute observations on the way women are shut down, I had to wonder, is “troll” still the right word for this deluge of venom that people at her level of visibility battle?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A troll sounds like an evil monster, sure, but he’s a li’l guy. Turn off your computer and he disappears. What West describes, in detailed account after detailed account throughout \u003cem>Shrill\u003c/em> are activities she rightly categorizes as workplace harassment. Dealing with them, she writes, “[is] costing me time, potential income, and mental health.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“More significantly, though,” she adds, “it’s part of a massive, multifarious online harassment campaign that has saturated my life for the past decade — and, on a broader scale, is actively driving women off the Internet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://www.thisamericanlife.org/play_full.php?play=545\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So I ask West if the thinks “troll” is still the correct word to encapsulate someone whose actions have such serious psychological consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are still people who I think the term troll is perfectly fine for,” she says. “It’s a hard thing to make a taxonomy of. There are people who are just screwing around and aren’t trying to emotionally traumatize people.” The difference, she adds, is when you look at the vicious language and the cumulative harm it does. “When people are posting your home address and threatening to rape you and clearly, deliberately trying to cause harm, we need to call that what it is,” she says. “We don’t need to give it a cute euphemism. We can call it harassment and stalking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And when we do have the right language, then what? How do we deal with these linguistic knives? West doesn’t offer universal answers, especially since, as she emphasizes, her background isn’t in tech. In \u003cem>Shrill\u003c/em>, she describes her personal method of coping, which is a combo of A) “don’t click on anything,” B) “mock and block” the person, and C) “wine.” If you \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/thelindywest\" target=\"_blank\">follow her on social media\u003c/a> you can watch plan B in action, as she slays her taunters with mostly witty comebacks like an action hero picking off the bad guys one by one. But she doesn’t want to set a standard that everyone needs to be such a warrior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t ever want to say that there’s one model for what you should do, because I don’t even want to say that it’s anyone’s responsibility to weather this kind of garbage,” she says. “But I hope that in the end we’ve managed to hang on to some of these voices who might otherwise have been driven away. I want to help provide a pillar of solidarity and for people to know they’re not alone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says she hears often from young writers, especially women, who say they want to get into blogging but are afraid of getting ripped to shreds. “I just want to be visible, not being destroyed by that, for people who need to see that,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don’t want to paint the picture that \u003cem>Shrill\u003c/em> is a book only about harassment, because it’s not. It’s also a book detailing how Lindy West, a girl who was too good at making herself “small” — speaking in whispers, retreating into fantasy novels — became one of the preeminent feminist bloggers of this social media era, one who is equally hilarious and heartfelt. The key to her evolution can’t be wrapped up in a single chapter or an easy aphorism. It’s in the culmination of battle after battle — with \u003cem>The Stranger\u003c/em>’s then-editor Dan Savage when he went on a horrid blogging tear about fat people while West was still working for that paper; with pro-rape joke activists and fat chauvinists; and with her own self-image.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along the way, \u003cem>Shrill\u003c/em> has many vulnerable and non-troll-y personal moments, about her father and his terminal illness, about her husband and how their relationship nearly fell apart, and about her body and all the moments she went from being horrified at its monthly bleeding or ability to break chairs to appreciating its strengths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a book that’s so politically and socially-minded, \u003cem>Shrill\u003c/em> is also infused with warmth and self-effacing humor, which is to be expected from a writer who has long been comfortable telling her personal story in order to shed light on the universal. (See also: #shoutyourabortion, the successful social media campaign she launched with two Seattle friends to turn the narrative around abortions from being shameful and/or secretive to being a very practical experience for some women).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And West says there’s more humor to come. Her main priority now is to get through a follow-up to \u003cem>Shrill\u003c/em> — which she loved writing because working on a book “keeps me off the Internet.” The concept behind the next one is secret for now, she says, but she will divulge that it’s going to be funny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I \u003cem>always\u003c/em> just wanted to write funny things,” she says. Instead, she says she got dragged into more political writing, which she also loves and feels is very necessary. But while \u003cem>Shrill\u003c/em> was “really political and really feelings-y,” she now wants to take time to write a book that shows her comic side — and, she adds with a laugh, “is light on feelings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Lindy West reads from Shrill on Tuesday, May 24, at Book Passage in Corte Madera, 51 Tamal Vista Blvd., at 7 p.m.\u003ca href=\"http://www.bookpassage.com/event/lindy-west-shrill-corte-madera\" target=\"_blank\"> Details here. \u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

As West writes in her excellent new memoir \u003cem>Shrill: Notes From a Loud Woman\u003c/em>, this nasty breed of vehemence is a regular and under-addressed workplace occurrence for many female journalists who make a living shedding light on issues pertaining to how we treat and talk about women -- particularly self-proclaimed fat women like her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Pretty much every day, at least one stranger seeks me out to call me a fat bitch (or some pithy variation thereof),” she writes, adding that together with rape and injury threats, “This is the barbarism — the eager abandonment of the social contract — that so many of us face simply for doing our jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-24832\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/Shrill_HC-800x1228.jpg\" alt=\"Shrill_HC\" width=\"800\" height=\"1228\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/Shrill_HC-800x1228.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/Shrill_HC-400x614.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/Shrill_HC-768x1178.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/Shrill_HC-1440x2210.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/Shrill_HC-1180x1811.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/Shrill_HC-960x1473.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/Shrill_HC.jpg 1613w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Or perhaps you remember her as the Jezebel staffer who wrote a \u003ca href=\"http://jezebel.com/heres-what-it-feels-like-to-be-a-fat-person-on-a-plane-1488750726\" target=\"_blank\">vulnerable essay \u003c/a>about the “low-grade hostility” she faces from other passengers every time she flies simply because she’s a fat woman. The online responses to that article, she writes, included such disgusting comments as “I wouldn’t stoop to feminist levels and wish her bodily harm — castration/acid burning her face, etc. — on her, but if I did…”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe you remember her coming out against rape jokes, because, as she writes, “there is nothing novel or comedic or righteous about men using the threat of sexual violence to control non-compliant women.” She went head to head on \u003cem>Totally Biased\u003c/em> with comedian Jim Norton over that issue. Their debate stoked yet another avalanche of horrid comments that she details in \u003cem>Shrill\u003c/em>, such as this one: “Holes like this make me want to commit rape out of anger.” The rampage against her was so strong that West, who came up in the Seattle comedy scene, decided to quit going to open mics and comedy shows completely, which was “the toll of rocking the boat in an industry you love.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a phone conversation to promote her book tour for \u003cem>Shrill\u003c/em>, West tells me she has PTSD from the deluge of raging rape comments that were directed at her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have a hard time going to comedy clubs and seeing stand-up, and that’s not from an ideological perspective, but from a physical perspective,” she says. “When I go to a comedy club I’m like, ‘Which of these open mic comics lurking in the back corners has told me they hope I get raped and die on Twitter?’ I don’t feel comfortable there any more.” It’s a heartbreaking admission from someone so preternaturally funny in both the personal and political arenas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_24789\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-24789\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/lindy2-800x449.jpg\" alt=\"Lindy West\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/lindy2-800x449.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/lindy2-400x225.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/lindy2-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/lindy2-960x539.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/lindy2.jpg 970w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lindy West \u003ccite>(Jenny Jimenez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>One particularly revolting instance of online abuse got national exposure, when West contributed a moving piece about it to \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/545/if-you-dont-have-anything-nice-to-say-say-it-in-all-caps\" target=\"_blank\">This American Life\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> In the segment, she details how she confronted a troll who had impersonated her recently deceased, beloved father in order to launch social media attacks against her. Their eventual phone conversation, which West describes in \u003cem>Shrill\u003c/em>, serves as a monumental moment for anyone who has gone to battle with any level of troll, from the garden personalized-attack variety to the more insidious Gamergate and swatter variety detailed in a recent\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/29/magazine/the-serial-swatter.html?_r=1\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem> New York Times Magazine\u003c/em> story\u003c/a>. West’s harasser broke down, apologized, and admitted that he’d gone after her out of jealousy of her confidence. She now has an admirable level of empathy for trolls, many of whom she believes are just miserable people hiding behind the Internet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'll acknowledge the experiences coloring my own views here: You don’t work in digital media without dealing with some level of trolling. When I was editor-in-chief at The Bold Italic, we were constantly weeding out heinous responses to our writers’ personal essays. But in reading this memoir by West, a writer I’ve long admired for her wicked sense of humor and astute observations on the way women are shut down, I had to wonder, is “troll” still the right word for this deluge of venom that people at her level of visibility battle?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A troll sounds like an evil monster, sure, but he’s a li’l guy. Turn off your computer and he disappears. What West describes, in detailed account after detailed account throughout \u003cem>Shrill\u003c/em> are activities she rightly categorizes as workplace harassment. Dealing with them, she writes, “[is] costing me time, potential income, and mental health.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“More significantly, though,” she adds, “it’s part of a massive, multifarious online harassment campaign that has saturated my life for the past decade — and, on a broader scale, is actively driving women off the Internet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://www.thisamericanlife.org/play_full.php?play=545\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So I ask West if the thinks “troll” is still the correct word to encapsulate someone whose actions have such serious psychological consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are still people who I think the term troll is perfectly fine for,” she says. “It’s a hard thing to make a taxonomy of. There are people who are just screwing around and aren’t trying to emotionally traumatize people.” The difference, she adds, is when you look at the vicious language and the cumulative harm it does. “When people are posting your home address and threatening to rape you and clearly, deliberately trying to cause harm, we need to call that what it is,” she says. “We don’t need to give it a cute euphemism. We can call it harassment and stalking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And when we do have the right language, then what? How do we deal with these linguistic knives? West doesn’t offer universal answers, especially since, as she emphasizes, her background isn’t in tech. In \u003cem>Shrill\u003c/em>, she describes her personal method of coping, which is a combo of A) “don’t click on anything,” B) “mock and block” the person, and C) “wine.” If you \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/thelindywest\" target=\"_blank\">follow her on social media\u003c/a> you can watch plan B in action, as she slays her taunters with mostly witty comebacks like an action hero picking off the bad guys one by one. But she doesn’t want to set a standard that everyone needs to be such a warrior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t ever want to say that there’s one model for what you should do, because I don’t even want to say that it’s anyone’s responsibility to weather this kind of garbage,” she says. “But I hope that in the end we’ve managed to hang on to some of these voices who might otherwise have been driven away. I want to help provide a pillar of solidarity and for people to know they’re not alone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says she hears often from young writers, especially women, who say they want to get into blogging but are afraid of getting ripped to shreds. “I just want to be visible, not being destroyed by that, for people who need to see that,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don’t want to paint the picture that \u003cem>Shrill\u003c/em> is a book only about harassment, because it’s not. It’s also a book detailing how Lindy West, a girl who was too good at making herself “small” — speaking in whispers, retreating into fantasy novels — became one of the preeminent feminist bloggers of this social media era, one who is equally hilarious and heartfelt. The key to her evolution can’t be wrapped up in a single chapter or an easy aphorism. It’s in the culmination of battle after battle — with \u003cem>The Stranger\u003c/em>’s then-editor Dan Savage when he went on a horrid blogging tear about fat people while West was still working for that paper; with pro-rape joke activists and fat chauvinists; and with her own self-image.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along the way, \u003cem>Shrill\u003c/em> has many vulnerable and non-troll-y personal moments, about her father and his terminal illness, about her husband and how their relationship nearly fell apart, and about her body and all the moments she went from being horrified at its monthly bleeding or ability to break chairs to appreciating its strengths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a book that’s so politically and socially-minded, \u003cem>Shrill\u003c/em> is also infused with warmth and self-effacing humor, which is to be expected from a writer who has long been comfortable telling her personal story in order to shed light on the universal. (See also: #shoutyourabortion, the successful social media campaign she launched with two Seattle friends to turn the narrative around abortions from being shameful and/or secretive to being a very practical experience for some women).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And West says there’s more humor to come. Her main priority now is to get through a follow-up to \u003cem>Shrill\u003c/em> — which she loved writing because working on a book “keeps me off the Internet.” The concept behind the next one is secret for now, she says, but she will divulge that it’s going to be funny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I \u003cem>always\u003c/em> just wanted to write funny things,” she says. Instead, she says she got dragged into more political writing, which she also loves and feels is very necessary. But while \u003cem>Shrill\u003c/em> was “really political and really feelings-y,” she now wants to take time to write a book that shows her comic side — and, she adds with a laugh, “is light on feelings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Lindy West reads from Shrill on Tuesday, May 24, at Book Passage in Corte Madera, 51 Tamal Vista Blvd., at 7 p.m.\u003ca href=\"http://www.bookpassage.com/event/lindy-west-shrill-corte-madera\" target=\"_blank\"> Details here. \u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Destiny's Child tracks, in particular, became something like a tangled teaser-medley of lyrics about independent ladies and survivors and jelly (\u003cem>this\u003c/em> jelly, to be specific, and whether or not you're ready for it).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the show charged on, my initial frustration at the medley approach to early songs was outweighed by the power of juxtaposition; nothing highlights how much she's grown like hearing 2003's \"Baby Boy\" (ft. Sean Paul, though this show did not, thankfully, feature Sean Paul) in close proximity to the layered, orchestral, triumphant \"All Night\" -- which Beyoncé referred to as her favorite song to sing from the new album, because \"it's about redemption.\" (See: knife-thrower storyline crafting, above.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That juxtaposition also helped to eliminate any doubt that this woman can carry a stadium show by herself. Not only was Jay Z conspicuously missing from the premises, his parts were actually removed from her songs -- and I didn't miss them. In the same vein, the sets were certainly big visually (video clips from \u003cem>Lemonade\u003c/em>, aerial dancers and complicated platforms of various sizes, fireworks, more than a half-dozen costume changes). But it was tough not to draw a comparison to Taylor Swift's '1989' tour, which also came to Levi's Stadium, and during which the stage became something like the set for an \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2015/08/17/live-review-taylor-swift-regular-super-normal-girl-like-you-and-me-at-levis-stadium/\" target=\"_blank\">over-the-top, Taylor Swift-themed musical\u003c/a>; the dancers and complex video elements at that performance seemed crucial to making it interesting enough to last two hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-24595\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-800x579.jpg\" alt=\"FullSizeRender (8)\" width=\"800\" height=\"579\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-800x579.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-400x290.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-768x556.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-1440x1042.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-1920x1390.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-1180x854.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-960x695.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Beyoncé's on stage, you don't need much else. I never got to see Michael Jackson live, but I have to imagine it was a little like this. (\"Hey, this is cool, but let's add some more grandiose set design just so people have something else to look at while Michael's dancing,\" said no artistic director ever.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the evening wound to a close, B disappeared and reemerged in white, her dancers stone-faced, bound in costumes that looked like rope. Together, barefoot, they took to a rectangular, ankle-deep pool of water at the edge of the catwalk to dance for the duration of \"Freedom,\" the drum-driven, heart-pounding Kendrick Lamar collaboration on \u003cem>Lemonade\u003c/em>. Hair was flying, water was flying, arms and legs took the shape of wings. It looked primal. It looked like liberation. It looked exhausting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know, she doesn't \u003cem>have\u003c/em> to work this hard,\" I yelled to my friend, as her dancers left and Beyoncé closed the show solo, still barefoot, with \"Halo.\" \"She's not even lip-syncing!\" my friend yelled back, and it was true: Beyoncé was clearly singing her ass off, all while doing squats and lunges and high-kicks in heels for, let me repeat it, 120 minutes straight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24596\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-5.jpg\" alt=\"FullSizeRender (5)\" width=\"640\" height=\"632\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-5.jpg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-5-400x395.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-5-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-5-50x50.jpg 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-5-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-5-96x96.jpg 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the thought I woke up with this morning -- after three hours of traffic and three and a half hours of sleep -- was something like: Actually, she \u003cem>does\u003c/em> have to work that hard. Because the more \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/05/03/every-track-on-beyonces-lemonade-debuts-on-billboard-hot-100-as-radiohead-fades-out-or-maybe-not/\" target=\"_blank\">records she breaks\u003c/a>, the more people are waiting for her to slip. No matter \u003cem>what\u003c/em> she does, people will line up to say she doesn't deserve her success, that she's a pretty lady pop star propped up by shrewd male writers and producers; to proclaim that her newfound public political consciousness is just a well-crafted but disingenuous marketing ploy, instead of entertaining the possibility that a 34-year-old performer who's been in the spotlight since age 16 might grow up and develop fresh ideas and want to go in new directions, and that doing all of that on an international stage will obviously, at times, get messy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But whether it was calculated or genuine or somewhere in between, the sparkle of a tear in Beyoncé's eye as she put her hand to her chest, looked around the stadium, and smiled a gracious, humble, goddamn beautiful smile before saying \"thank you\" one last time and disappearing below the stage said everything I needed to know about what \u003cem>she\u003c/em> thinks she deserves.

Still, that was the first complete-sentence thought I managed to sputter out loud last night, as I sat in bumper-to-bumper traffic with roughly 50,000 other people, every one of us just trying to inch a half-mile outside of Levi’s Stadium as the clock struck midnight and it turned from May 16 to May 17, with damn near every person in every car dazed, drained, energized, aglow, and grinning ear-to-ear as though, perhaps, we'd all just witnessed the Apollo 11 moon landing. Live.

But more importantly: after watching the most famous woman in the country work harder and tougher and more joyfully than I’ve ever seen any human work on a stage before -- and we’re talking \u003ci>hard\u003c/i> calisthenics, for two straight hours, in a series of high-heeled boots and glittery, thong-bottomed jumpsuits, long curls loose and flying, while belting her way through more than 30 songs from her 17-year career, all without once sounding out of breath -- it's also never been more obvious why it's wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re proud of who you are, say ‘I slay,’” said B early in the evening, smiling and scanning the stadium, assessing her crowd as it roared to life. We'd been treated to Too $hort, E-40 and DJ Khaled while we waited, which in most other circumstances would be quite the show, full-stop, in and of itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Destiny's Child tracks, in particular, became something like a tangled teaser-medley of lyrics about independent ladies and survivors and jelly (\u003cem>this\u003c/em> jelly, to be specific, and whether or not you're ready for it).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the show charged on, my initial frustration at the medley approach to early songs was outweighed by the power of juxtaposition; nothing highlights how much she's grown like hearing 2003's \"Baby Boy\" (ft. Sean Paul, though this show did not, thankfully, feature Sean Paul) in close proximity to the layered, orchestral, triumphant \"All Night\" -- which Beyoncé referred to as her favorite song to sing from the new album, because \"it's about redemption.\" (See: knife-thrower storyline crafting, above.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That juxtaposition also helped to eliminate any doubt that this woman can carry a stadium show by herself. Not only was Jay Z conspicuously missing from the premises, his parts were actually removed from her songs -- and I didn't miss them. In the same vein, the sets were certainly big visually (video clips from \u003cem>Lemonade\u003c/em>, aerial dancers and complicated platforms of various sizes, fireworks, more than a half-dozen costume changes). But it was tough not to draw a comparison to Taylor Swift's '1989' tour, which also came to Levi's Stadium, and during which the stage became something like the set for an \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2015/08/17/live-review-taylor-swift-regular-super-normal-girl-like-you-and-me-at-levis-stadium/\" target=\"_blank\">over-the-top, Taylor Swift-themed musical\u003c/a>; the dancers and complex video elements at that performance seemed crucial to making it interesting enough to last two hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-24595\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-800x579.jpg\" alt=\"FullSizeRender (8)\" width=\"800\" height=\"579\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-800x579.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-400x290.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-768x556.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-1440x1042.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-1920x1390.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-1180x854.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-8-960x695.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Beyoncé's on stage, you don't need much else. I never got to see Michael Jackson live, but I have to imagine it was a little like this.

Together, barefoot, they took to a rectangular, ankle-deep pool of water at the edge of the catwalk to dance for the duration of \"Freedom,\" the drum-driven, heart-pounding Kendrick Lamar collaboration on \u003cem>Lemonade\u003c/em>. Hair was flying, water was flying, arms and legs took the shape of wings. It looked primal. It looked like liberation. It looked exhausting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know, she doesn't \u003cem>have\u003c/em> to work this hard,\" I yelled to my friend, as her dancers left and Beyoncé closed the show solo, still barefoot, with \"Halo.\" \"She's not even lip-syncing!\" my friend yelled back, and it was true: Beyoncé was clearly singing her ass off, all while doing squats and lunges and high-kicks in heels for, let me repeat it, 120 minutes straight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24596\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-5.jpg\" alt=\"FullSizeRender (5)\" width=\"640\" height=\"632\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-5.jpg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-5-400x395.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-5-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-5-50x50.jpg 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-5-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/FullSizeRender-5-96x96.jpg 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the thought I woke up with this morning -- after three hours of traffic and three and a half hours of sleep -- was something like: Actually, she \u003cem>does\u003c/em> have to work that hard. Because the more \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/05/03/every-track-on-beyonces-lemonade-debuts-on-billboard-hot-100-as-radiohead-fades-out-or-maybe-not/\" target=\"_blank\">records she breaks\u003c/a>, the more people are waiting for her to slip. No matter \u003cem>what\u003c/em> she does, people will line up to say she doesn't deserve her success, that she's a pretty lady pop star propped up by shrewd male writers and producers; to proclaim that her newfound public political consciousness is just a well-crafted but disingenuous marketing ploy, instead of entertaining the possibility that a 34-year-old performer who's been in the spotlight since age 16 might grow up and develop fresh ideas and want to go in new directions, and that doing all of that on an international stage will obviously, at times, get messy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But whether it was calculated or genuine or somewhere in between, the sparkle of a tear in Beyoncé's eye as she put her hand to her chest, looked around the stadium, and smiled a gracious, humble, goddamn beautiful smile before saying \"thank you\" one last time and disappearing below the stage said everything I needed to know about what \u003cem>she\u003c/em> thinks she deserves.
