"And it losing out to Adele’s 25 — a nice and decent and popular album from a nice and decent and popular woman — last night was a message:
“Your best doesn’t matter here”
Perhaps this message was unintentional. Maybe they just believed that 25 was just better. A better representative of the year in music. A bigger success. A more important album. But even a lack of malicious intent does nothing but reinforce the concept of pervasive invisibility. That we could be on their stage, defying gravity and time and age and common sense while waving our pregnant-as-fuck bellies in their faces — with our cute-ass-fuck babies serving as our impromptu hype men — and they still don’t see us."
