If you're not familiar with Rookie, the online magazine for girls that Gevinson founded at age 15, read their interview with Judy Blume, and then read their fan-fucking-tasting interview with Morrissey. (There's plenty of non-interview content on the site—advice, personal essays, features like "Ask a Grown Woman"—but the interviews definitely have the broadest appeal.)
And if you're not familiar with Tavi, read this blog post she wrote back in April; it really captures why I think she's so great. Old people like to handwring about how back in the day we had to download Mountain Goats bootlegs off of LimeWire and it took 45 minutes per song and kids these days don't know what it means to really work for things, but the way that Tavi and Rookie synthesize influences new and old strikes me as a best-case scenario for kids raised on instant access to everything.
Rookie just released their second print collection, Rookie Yearbook Two. Gevinson will be reading at Q Center (4115 N Mississippi) tonight at 7 pm; there will be music and other festivities. The whole shebang is sponsored by Reading Frenzy, which recently opened a new space at 3628 N Mississippi.
