About Footnotes: The Stories That Won’t Make The History Books Because They Don’t Matter
The news can be a lot sometimes. There’s so much to read and learn about, and with the internet and social media there’s pressure to be locked into everything that’s going on, all the time, and it can be incredibly daunting to know where to start.
The answer, is not here,
Here, we cover the stories of the trivial, the frivolous, and the inconsequential. From celebrity slip ups, to award show crushers, to mysterious egg disappearances, these stories certainly can’t be considered hard journalism. But boy, are they still interested to yap about.
FOOTNOTES IS OFFICIALLY BACK!!
Today, Emily is taking it solo, talking about the show that has possibly defined the 20s: Heated Rivalry.
We'll be going into a history of the show's creation, a background on the people that made it come to life, as well as a study on how its overnight success has impacted fandom and queer culture.
Footnotes will be releasing a new episode every fortnight, so stay tuned!
