Oh man so I saw The Odyssey and while I liked it a whole lot I must say I wish I had used the restroom directly beforehand because I ended up having to pee during, possibly, the most important 30 seconds on the film (and I was RUNNING to that bathroom and back). Anyway, just a cautionary tale for your followers. Use the lavatory first! Even if you don’t think you gotta go! Just try! Spoiler: there’s lots of water scenes! 🤪

Fortunately I'm a bit of camel and made it through okay lmao

Re: Dancing on the Wall (album); aside from the opening track and the singles they've already released MUNAs new album is also kind of meh for me. i get what Big Stick is trying to do but it's also...trying a little too hard? the last track Buzzkiller is classic them lyrically, but the production gives me sensory/physical discomfort (and i'm not particularly sensitive, but the beginning of this track flirts with my tinitus in such a way that i have to turn it waaaay down until the verse kicks in). maybe a few more listens? maybe the songs will hit better live? i mean i've never had to "work" to like their stuff before so maybe this one (aside from It Gets so Hot) just isn't for me?

I’m hoping it grows on me, too.

I'm sure someone's posited this already, but as i am out of the swiftie-decoding-the-tracklist loop and can make up my own happy little theories; i really hope Eldest Daughter is about Meredith.

djfghfghlsd a piano ballad with Meredith meowing in the background like the dogs in Fetch The Bolt Cutters

My wife just informed me that Selena Gomez has surpassed one of the Kardasians as the most followed woman on IG! And so naturally I thought of you. Congrats on being with the winning team!

Instagram is so mysterious to me. I love Selena and I love winning, but I also have no idea why so many people follow her! (except the second I finished typing this I remembered that Selena does post some powerful thirst traps so never mind)

Thanks for filling my prompt! I really love that song and you not only did the prompt justice, you totally KILLED it! I can't help myself with the angsty stuff - for some reason now that they're in a good place, I like to revisit that fraught time in their relationship and just roll around in the tension of it all. Wonderful work!

You're very welcome! I was hoping I'd get some Lucy/Kate prompts and I really liked this one, especially the chance to get inside of Lucy's head because she's such an interesting character. I'm glad you liked it and I really appreciate you coming back to tell me what you thought! 🥰

so today at i got (and seized) the opportunity to explain to a co-worker how 'reverse racism' isn't actually a thing, how it can't possibly exist; and i would not have been able to do such a thing (let alone be aware of my own privilege and be able to frame the discussion in a productive and didactic way) if your blog hadn't helped get me there and continue to help me grow. thanks! you are awesome. as is your taste in music, fashion and humor. have a good day!

This made my LIFE. THANK YOU.Lets be real life friends. :D
