This is supposed to be a playlist for the person who made this request: “How about an I can’t fucking sleep please just make the world go away so I can fucking sleep playlist?” but I’m not sure if this is just a “mellow out and relax” playlist instead. To be honest, the best sleeping playlist EVER is Sarah Mclachlan’s Mirrorball but I tried my best to follow up.

Emily Choo started as an intern with Autostraddle when she was 18 years old. She’s now 10 years older and lives in Toronto with her partner and cat. The defining moment of her career was when Riese said this about her: ” I think Emily Choo is a very bright, ‘poetically inclined’ girl who pays attention to everything and knows almost everything (the point of stuff, how to read, how beautiful things feel, how scary things feel, etc.) but doesn’t believe/accept/realize yet that she knows almost everything.” She still doesn’t believe she knows anything, so, thank you, Riese, for that.
