so this is a thing

these artists all have at least one song that makes me go absolutely fucking crazy and NOBODY is listening to them lmao:

Lizzie No (spotify-ish genres: folk/Black americana/country): I love their music, they've got extremely niche songs, like one called Centralia about that town in PA where the coal mine got set on fire and the town randomly has sinkholes because of it. Just released an Album called Halfsies in January and not lying, they made me buy a whole CD cause I love it so much. It's the only CD that I haven't thrifted.

Similar Kind (POV: indie/alternative pop): I have seen them in concert twice, I'm utterly in love with their music style and their writing and maybe their lead singer a little bit. Parked Car Conversations is such a bop about awkward conversation. More people need to know about them so I don't have to keep buying concert tickets to see them open for other people.

BB Bean (pop/coming of age/idk actually how other places categorize them): I found them cause one person did a D20 Fantasy High fan animation to their song Barbra Stratford and their music is my current obsession. Can't think of anything besides their music, gong insane about it a little, genuinely currently listening to them. Barbra Stratford is Kat Stratford's younger sister from 10 Things I Hate About You and its a love song about her!!! It's such a fun deep cut, showing a lot of passion about early 2000's coming of age rom coms. I love music where there's a Thing that sets it apart.

Jules Paymer (indie pop/queer pop/maybe modern rock? but in the same way Boy Genius is modern rock): They have this one song called Mommy Issues and I'm pretty sure they were reading my diary during my last real relationship when they wrote it, cause how else did they know all that. Love their music, fun times, good vibes. They have an unreleased song about sleeping with the girl their ex cheated on them with, and I'm chomping at the bit to hear it.

The Great Bear Trio (genres: instrumental Celtic inspired modern): they have one song called Cosmic Tim that just scratches the inside of my head so well. If you're into the genre give it a go, I have them on my studying playlist with the How To Train Your Dragon soundtrack! They don't still make music but all their stuff is still around on the internet.

some hyper famous artists like Van Gogh transcend overratedness and become underrated because they're so normalized. Like I'll look at a van Gogh and I'm like wait this really is amazing you guys don't get it

[headspace-hotel]

Shakespeare is like this

[insufferablepirate]

Every time I see a Van Gogh that’s not one of his better known pieces it absolutely blows me away

Have you seen this shit my liege? smh unreal

-You are so sure that I'm coming. -Yeah, I am. -Why?

not to be exileposting again but i love the doctor as a being out of place, i love his camaraderie and kinship with others who are out of place, i love his ability to instantly identify that haphazard compass of longing for home spinning haywire in another person. one, this is amazing. two, where is that post saying the doctor has a gallifreyan accent, because i wholeheartedly endorse.

“I don’t like this song because I can’t relate to it” skill issue. I’m mad at my husband I love my girlfriend I’m a lone cowboy I’m growing old I’m growing up I’m depressed I love my friends I’m perpetually horny I’m drunk at the club I love my husband again

[strandnreyes]

this is exactly what I’m talking about

Why are we forgetting the old texts

[lizardsfromspace]

Out of control Edwardian youths refuse to clap at production of Peter Pan, force distraught J.M Barrie to pull out rarely seen "Tinkerbell Fucking Dies" ending

[fairycosmos]

you literally have to unironically listen to some shit like party rock anthem so you don’t kill yourself

[gummybearattacktheworldofdespair]

[cute-catts]

Cats logic 🤷🐱🐈

[purplesaline]

It's not that kitty is saying she can't make the wheel go. Kitty is saying she wants to do the wheel WITH her person. Much the same way many cats won't wat unless their person is eating at the same time.

This is a request for social togetherness and it's incredibly sweet

This is an awesome use of what is probably a master's degree if not a doctorate and I am 100% thrilled that she shared it even though it was embarrassing and she squeaked.

[liminalbeauty]

Thank you, adorable scientist, for making people's lives better.

As an Australian, THIS WOMAN IS A FUCKING GODSEND.

Californian (sup, fellow desert-havers) i've been using this since i saw it and it works so fucken good dude (i often have to put like 8 dogs in my car, so it's extra important my car isn't attempting to go super-nova when we get in)

I have been enjoying seeing people experience food this World Cup

[redflagshipwriter]

The person who wrote this has almost certainly never been to Japan- if they had, they would know that Japanese restaurants also offer table appetizers in many contexts. Some of them? Mexican restaurants. You can get free tortilla chips when you eat Mexican food in Tokyo Osaka Kobe Kyoto and rural HIMEJI for fuck’s sake. Those are just places where I’ve personally had free tortilla chips in Japan.

This is chat gpt trash prompted to “sound Japanese” and it’s based off of racist old movie dialogue. There’s zero correlation here to Japanese grammar and how Japanese translates into English or how a native speaker of Japan uses English. It’s slop. It’s racist ai slop rehashing Western exceptionalism, fantasizing about a Japanese person being in awe of how great the USA is. It’s depressing that people fell for this. I know it feels good to think that other people like us, and sometimes they do, but this only works if you assume Japanese people have extremely limited experience and worldview. It’s mortifying.

If someone other than me would push back against this propaganda, it would be nice.

OP deleted the post, but OOP is a prime example of an alt-right grifter using “positive” stereotypes to stir up hatred against immigrants and other marginalized groups.

[rui-cifer]

every cocktail bar I've been to in Japan, from Fukuoka to Sapporo, has given me simple, but free tableside snacks to munch on, ranging from salted peanuts to popcorn. Oftentimes, I get free pickled veggies at Izakaya. The responder is correct and as we've shown, this is another mombot situation. Still, I wanted to share that you don't even have to go to a Mexican restaurant to get free garnish. This is not an adoption of a foreign value; this also happens at "traditionally Japanese" places of varying degrees.

[princess-of-the-corner]

Unrelated but I think the scene with Percy and Jason and Kym should've gone like

Percy: "OH?? You want more recognition for the minor Gods? Wow it's not like I had just made Zeus promise on the Styx for EXACTLY THAT and we only barely began overseeing the construction of Cabins/Shrines at Camp before this whole mess with the Giants started and distracted them at best or made them too blitzed to function at worst! If the Giants were out of the way the Gods would be able to keep their promises but! Too bad! I'm sure the word of the Giants made to kill all Gods and have no regard for the lives of the Humans that worship said Gods is much more trustworthy than Zeus, the God of Oathkeepers, Swearing on the River Styx to uphold his Promises!"

[fanonical]

i've been on a bit of a starkid kick recently, and just watching their older stuff in comparison with what i know they can do now, it's really impressive - like, these guys came up as a no-budget internet production company and they just had a run on the west end. that's cool as hell!

[pussyhoundspock]

joining the war on kids reading any book they want on the side of kids reading any book they want. simply you will be fine. it's even good to be confronted with things you don't understand and even find upsetting, uncomfortable and difficult. it's a surprise tool that will help you later.

prev tags:

literally ok so not a funny story but kind of funny? when I was nine I encountered rape in a book and I was like hey mom what’s this mean and she explained it and I was like oh. gross. and then like two weeks later a girl on the bus abruptly disclosed her csa and we were all like ????? what ???? but I was like wait hang on there’s a word for that ☝️🤓 and explained what it meant and that it was illegal and that you could talk to a teacher or my mom if it had happened to you and everyone was like ohhhhh I see I see and very somberly comforted the girl (she was safe she was removed from her home and living with my neighbor at the time so it wasn’t Urgent)

[zarohk]

And this is a perfect illustration of why it is important for kids to read or variety of things, and why abusers don’t want them to.

every time i'm finally finished with my period i'm like. Wow I'm So Glad I Never Have To Do That Again. #Relieved .............and then the next month i'm like. What The Hell

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Embarrassing fact about me is that it took me so so long to be able to tell Ross Bryant and Grant O'Brien apart. I'm sorry guys you're both tall white dudes with similar-sounding names and very very similar voices. I would just wait for the first sex joke or Shakespeare reference.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I feel better now because everyone in the notes is like "yeah same".

Every day I receive further vindication
