found out my surgeon announced his retirement the day after my orchi. can only imagine he left the OR that day like “those were the greatest balls of all time, finally i can move on.”
hi, if you’re thinking about boosting unverified, unsourced, not-CWed warnings about scary political stuff happening, please consider the following: don’t do that
i feel like it would be a really good day for a bunch of cis people to put their pronouns in their profiles, and ESPECIALLY to toss a “they” into the mix if they can.
as usual, my end of year music stats require a bit of finesse to get at my real listening habits
mostly the amount my kid listens to the frozen soundtrack throws things off (but also stuff like P-Funk being separated into at least four different “artists”)
annual reminder that you had all fucking year to complain about spotify and how shitty they are to artists.
if you wait till december when your friends are gleefully sharing all the beautiful music they listened to all year, and decide *now* is the moment to be shitty about spotify, you aren’t being radical or progressive or whatever. you’re being a thief of joy and, more relevant, *you are harming artists, not helping them.*
talking about music and musicians is awesome! a lot of folks i never hear a peep about music from all year, until their yearly wrap-up shows up and suddenly they want to share all the great music they spent the year listening to!
as a musician, it fucking *hurts* to see folks get all morally self-righteous about shutting down these discussions because “they’re an ad for spotify”. PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT SPOTIFY but they might not know the indie artist sitting at 12 on their friends’ list.
me: i don’t think im autistic, i don’t really have sensory issues
also me: i don’t really like pullovers because the 1.5 seconds i spend pulling a sweater over my head is unpleasant enough to outweigh the entire rest of the time i’m wearing it
so many other holidays are all about “family.” shut yourself in with people you may or may not like. don’t go out. nothing is open anyway. respect traditional family structures.
halloween is about community. go outside. meet your neighbors. share candy with them. nothing is closed. participate in this grand communal ritual with strangers. everyone hide your identity and trust one another.
