wait bc ‘diana’s gone’ in the bridge of running/planning could also relate to ‘dunboyne diana’ from when a good man cries … hear me out . because ‘dunboyne diana’ is something so specific to cmat and an iconic title, and running/planning is about the pressures that women face to follow the same path in adulthood (partner, marriage, kids, etc etc) and ‘diana’s gone’ is referring to how these pressures to conform may have affected cmat herself and her uniqueness (as well as princess diana herself)

i think the universe heard me thinking 'wow all this new music is really good, not super relatable rn but it still hits' and decided to correct that immediately

Conservative beauty standards are back with a vengeance which means it's especially important to go out this summer with bellies out and bodies unshaved. Also be unapologetically disabled with mobility aids and wearable medical devices and stim toys and ear defenders and all that stuff. You need it. People need to see it. Everyone needs to be reminded that life is unquestioningly more enjoyable when you're not living inside an arbitrary set of rules created by people who are offended by all the wrong things.

Arteries by hey, nothing - came up on my youtube recommended and its greattt the video is stunning and the layered vocals are excellently done . def wanna listen to more from this band !

Lost Boys by Phoebe Bridgers - i was convinced she wasn’t coming back until 2030 but thank god i was wrong i guess . Awesome Amazing Exciting
