Welcome back to stuff my sister says! This week we had a different episode planned, but like the rest of the country, we were shocked about what happened in Houston this past weekend at Astroworld. First, our hearts are with the families during this difficult time. To start the episode Kiana and I talk about the events that occurred briefly and then take a deeper look at different reasons why this tragedy happened. We talk about celebrity culture, social media and how rapidly we consume content, violence in our society, and American individualism. We also reflect on our past experiences going to different concerts and festivals and really look into Travis’ fanbase and what he is able to incite within them. We look at the pandemic and see if being cooped up in our homes for almost two years added another layer to this all occurring. If you are interested in making a donation all links with information about the GoFundMe pages will be under the resources portion below.
