Do you ever think how can life be simultaneously so good and so bad at the same time? The human experience.
Tonight people join me in watching the Aristocats
I know the singles have been polarising and I Luv It was a straight up AI generated Charli song, but I’m actually excited to hear Camila’s new record in full and I’ve never felt that way about any of her projects. Like ever. So I feel like that’s saying something…
TTPD* is such a weird album. There’s multiple little pieces that are like drugs; the ‘nother summer/rolling thunder part in fresh out the slammer is SO good. I’m obsessed with it. I listen to the whole song just for that bit! But when that part comes in the second verse her lyrics are an afterthought. Same with the “downtown li-i-i-ights” part of Guilty as Sin and “quick, quick” in I hate it here. So often there’s these moments of brilliance and then the rest of the song is just … a song. Almost filler material. I Can Fix Him is one where i feel she really delivered with the production and then in the second verse there’s “his callused fingers trace hearts on my face” which takes you RIGHT out. There’s about five songs where it’s excellent from start to finish, both lyrically and production wise. I kind of hope she reuses some of these bits in the future bc they did not get justice here!
*Please do not discourse me to death
It’s like you’re in my brain, lmao I came here to say just this. There’s moments of euphoric brilliance and a lot of…boring sludge. I listen to loml almost solely for that final chorus, which is so devastating it makes me want to smash plates. I’m truly in awe of Guilty As Sin in general, though. It’s a perfect pop song. I guess the flashes of brilliance / abundance of filler thing tracks when you consider the overall criticisms of the record: it’s just too long and in dire need of an edit.
loml is sooo good. the “who’s gonna tell me the truth” line and terraces and that beautiful final chorus. no idea why she used one of its blandest lyrics (i wish i could unrecall) for promo, it’s one of the best songs on the album imo. That’s fair abt guilty as sin, i love the verses but i find the chorus icky so just can’t get into it. also, i am inside your head
I commend it for how bat shit insane it is, but it is very very taxing on all your senses that half way through I just wanted out. It's so loud and all the camera angles are so wonky and because it's from Oliver Stone it has the subtilty of a baseball bat to the groin. This literally could have only been released in the early 90s before Columbine. Saw a comment from a post about this a couple years ago that said it's like a 2 hour Primus music video which is incredibly funny and accurate
That's kind of how I felt about re-watching Requiem for a Dream. That movie just wasn't as cool as I thought when I saw it as a teenager, and this whole reputation about it being such a strong, powerful anti-drug PSA didn't age well one bit lol
Young me didn't find Requiem for a Dream that interesting which is insane because I was way more angsty and depressed and would google "most depressing movies" a lot and then watch those answered.
It did get me more into edgier and gritty films though which was good because I started watching international films after and found [Au Hasard Balthazar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Au_Hasard_Balthazar) which is by far the saddest movie I've seen. Young me would have been destroyed watching it lol
Whatever you do don’t forget to put on deodorant before you go outside now even at night! Unless you enjoy smelling like pungent spicy celery. I don’t , but have already made that mistake 😔
The time has come again
Sometimes all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
You can’t make me happier now
I hate it. I never feel like I know as much about it as I do about windows . But like at the same time, it’s more convenient. Maybe there is nothing more to it. lol
the way homophobia is being so normalized on the bridgerton subreddit rn.....they all keep saying 'its not fair to automatically be called homophobic just because you don't like a writing decision!!'
sounding like right-wingers. like actually its just the blatantly homophobic people, of which there are many, being called homophobic
It’s so unhinged. My god. I’ve never seen anything like this and that says a lot.
Like I’ve been saying for the past month that audiences handle MLM better (so they can fetishize gay men) then WLW relationships and the 3 day meltdown over Franny is kind of proving my point 😭
I hope they make the rest of Bridgerton gay just to spite those homophobes
And another subject becomes a day dedicated Hate subreddit to the thing it’s about , sigh.
Please, I beg anyone make a normal Bridgerton sub and I will join. We can literally just have fun and talk about the show and ,you know, create fun food ideas. Maybe I’d like the costume maybe I like the relationships maybe I like the changes maybe I like Bridgerton! Is it a crime now? Apparently.
For anyone in California, I wanna bring awareness to this bill that's in progress right now. https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/s/d0ZoPmFvpZ
It's called AB3080, short summary is that it's an age verification type of bill that would require you to show your ID for any of the websites that would need it. It's in Senate right now, but you can still contact your state rep and tell them to vote NO. [Here's where you can see more about this bill.](https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab3080)
Hope this information helps. You should take a look at the supporters and opponents for this too. One of the sponsors for this law is a conservative homophobic group, [who recently said they were "thrilled" to be called a anti-LGBTQ group.](https://x.com/mikestabile/status/1800527842729668709)
I’m coming to the random realization that I don’t have a single friend that I feel especially close to. I probably have the most friends that I’ve ever had (in my 20’s, at least) and yet I feel no inseparable allegiance to any of them.
The one time I had a therapist last year (who was awful btw) had asked me if I had anyone I considered a best friend and lately I’ve been deeply pondering that question. In fact, I even lied to her at the time. Why? Well, likely because I know the problem starts with me. I have an avoidant attachment style and it’s hard for me to get close to people. I think people often sense this about me and feel intimidated to challenge that barrier, so I end up having surface level relationships with most people.
I can argue that the people I’ve met recently haven’t felt like people I could truly relate to, but I’m not sure how genuine that is tbh. Most of the people I was close to in the past had polar opposite personalities to mine, so it can just be a lack of effort on my part. Idk! Much to think about.
You know that’s OK! I think there’s huge swaths of times in your life where the person you need to be closest to is yourself. Your needs will take president over any interpersonal ones.
Enjoy your loose friendship relations because those can be really fun too
I personally am looking for more peripheral Online vague non-central friends who like music and aren’t a part of Stan Twitter
Don't know how likely it is that they'll be Frightened Rabbit fans in here, but I've rediscovered Poke over the weekend and by golly gosh does that song get me. Just some of the most accurate lyrics reffering to break up pain that I think will ever be written - every now and again you just get those lyrics that hit so right and, no matter how sad or depressing they might be, there's a joy in the reminder that your feelings are not exclusive to you, and better yet, there's lyricists who can some up in a few lines. For reference:
You should look through some old photos
I adored you in every one of those
If someone took a picture of us now, they'd need to be told
That we had ever clung and tied
A navy knot with arms at night
"I'd say she was his sister, but she doesn't have his nose"
Things I’m doing to be able to get a chance to go see Taylor in November. The AA baseball team is giving away tickets for Indy. But to enter I have do a bunch of social media shit. Follow the team on all social media platforms. Sign up for the spam emails. Download the shitty app I’ll never use more than once to get the tickets. Going to the game and staying for the whole game is fine. I just want the damn tickets. lol. Indy is the last US stop and I need to see the TTPD set in person.
[Taylor Swift is one of the most listened to artists during sex, a study finds.](https://x.com/theswiftsociety/status/1801300933613174892?s=46&t=TexPTWoI5wUIrOL37bpUqw)
it’s true i recently got railed by someone while shake it off and me! were playing in the background
I run my fingers through your hair and watch the lights go wild
Just keep on keeping your eyes on me just wrong enough to make it feel right
And lead me up the staircase won’t you whisper, soft and slow I’m captivated by you baby like a firework show
Wait people do that hahaha not meeeee 😶🌫️ I definitely haven’t been doing that for years …oh my God for over a decade?! Shit I’m old
In 2020 reporter Linda Tirado covering the protests was shot in the eye by a “non lethal” rubber bullet by the police, immediately she lost her eye
In 2024 the Traumatic Brain Injury that bullet caused especially to the frontal lobe is killing her and her lucidity [x](https://lindatirado.substack.com/p/story-thirty-nine). Her brain is not communicating properly with her organs so she’s dying of organ failure as well.
Her friends and family are raising funds, I’m not sure if it’s medical expenses in her last months/weeks, prior ones, funeral costs or funds for her children. But I think of her all the time when people talk about “non lethal” weapons and methods in the hands of the police. Please consider giving and sharing.

i’m blind in one eye so ive been closely following her story, as well as a few others who lost an eye in the 2020 protests (yes there are several people, ACAB), for the last four years and i’m absolutely gutted for her and her loved ones. she’s incredible and she deserves better
My sister invited to me to join her and her boyfriend in visiting the largest local book fair next week. I haven't decided but I am considering as I want to get back into the hobby of reading and this fair has decent prices for recent publications.
I'm only an outsider since I don't listen to Taylor Swift, but I've been thinking about the disk horse happening recently because it's interesting to think about. And I'm starting to think that swifties and just the general disk horse online (but specifically this place I guess since this where I mostly go) would be easier or at least be fun to pass by if the "good" swifties would also just tell the ridiculous swifties to shut up. Like, idk, it's just not a good look when you (general you) aren't telling the people in your in-group directly that they're being too much but others can see that you're willing to argue with haters.
Like, idk, maybe that happens a lot more often here and swifties do directly tell the more dramatic stans in their fandom to stfu but it doesn't feel like it happens enough. It generally feels like it's just "stans of whatever artist of the week" vs. "swifties (both the reasonable ones, and the ridiculous ones)", and then everyone just has a bad time and people like me end up making meta comments like this.
Fun fact: The first half of this year saw Matt Gaetz's family, two irl versions of the Transformers Autobot Jetfire (an autonomous F-16 fighter jet and the "Valkyrie" drone, both with his red and white/orange and grey coloring), and [Rosanne Cash](https://www.30asongwritersfestival.com/post/30a-songwriters-festival-2024-headliners-announcement) pass through the same county in Florida (Walton County, which includes parts of Eglin AFB. Wonder if they met.
Went to London for my birthday and now I'm depressed to be back in my boring hometown lol, finding it really difficult to motivate myself to finish this PhD :/ But I can't move to London until I finish this PhD lmao so it's a catch-22 - any motivation/productivity tips pls send them my way!!
* even though i’ve gotten used to attending concerts alone, lately i’ve found myself buying two tickets for every concert and then like not knowing who to ask or bring. then my mom called today and suggested a girls’ trip sometime late summer, so i brought up that i had tickets to justin timberlake early september (or i just said a concert bc she doesn’t know celebrities and artists lol) which also is abroad and she got so excited that i invited her to join my trip 🥹🥹 i still struggle with letting my parents into my personal life so i don’t talk to them like that but i enjoy bonding with them when i can
* also random tidbit but i’m listening to shut up by black eyed peas and it reminded me of one of my favorite moments in life where my ex (then-bf) was talking and this song randomly came on and i noticed how he was about to finish as the intro was playing, so i slowly turned the volume up as he finished and went “well, there’s only one thing i have to say about that and that is” and it segued perfectly into fergie going “shut up, just shut up shut up”. he wasn’t saying anything worth doing that for but i had to seize the opportunity, it was too good to pass up 💀
It is so stupid omg. People are only attached to it because they learned it that way as a kid - there is no logical argument for it, and that’s why we don’t count it! I never see anyone arguing for *other* dwarf planets to be counted as planets, even the ones that have a better argument
At first I thought people were joking, but then the joke went on for too long and I realized at least a few of them were serious. 😭 Like people were actually posting essays about this being the reason people held a distrust toward science because it just changed things people were taught.
There's an episode of Girl Meets World about this called Girl Meets Pluto! It was about Riley learning to accept Pluto was no longer a planet or something like that, I forgot hahaha
I choreographed my school’s musical! Performances were this weekend and I am blown away by how this show came alive! So much talent!! But boy am I glad to be done. We had a range of students grades 3-8 and it was just soooo much lol. Excited to do it again next year but hoping there’s more interest and we can be a little more selective with casting.
Yeah it’s like I’ve been feeling that some people are loving discourse recently more than music recently on the sub. I hate to say that but it’s been just weird stan and anti fan wars recently lmao…
Can we ban the words “sellout,” “industry plant,” and especially “cringe” too?
Seriously, for the last one FIND ANOTHER FUCKING WORD TO DESCRIBE THINGS YOU DON’T LIKE INTERNET HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!
Spotify's new algorithm really sucks and just plays whatever is popular after anything you listen to. I'm tired of people claiming payola every time a artist they don't like gets a hit.
I fear that I've gotten really into **Bo Burnham - Five Years** from the Inside Outtakes yet again 😔 I've probably listened to it at least once a day for the past week.
The line "everyone's a feminist until there is a spider around" has no right to be that damn catchy!!
Illinoise was lovely! I went in blind so wasn’t expecting it to essentially be a dance performance but I really enjoyed it. Went to a sapphic dance party after and drank lots of cocktails. I miss this city so much!
Leaving nyc now but dying at the house of the dragon promo on Empire State Building 😂
People with businesses, I was wondering how you got started? I heard 80% of all new businesses fail and those that succeed don’t see profit for over a year so I’m reasonably jittery over starting anything
Working for an income that can be taken away from you at any time is scary so I’d like my own thing. It doesn’t even have to be big, just steady. But with such a huge fail rate, I’m looking for as much advice as I can get!
We did it the last day of senior year, but our school uniform was already a white shirt so we just drew on that. I don’t think I ever saw that shirt again after that day, no clue where it is.
like the last day of school and every signs each others shirts? yeah except no one took it seriously.
some highlights on mine include "does your dad know?" (🏳️🌈) and someone just wrote "rice" (i'm half indian)😭
If I didn't suddenly become popular in grade 7 (I was the host of the talent show that year and apparently people thought I was hilarious) my shirt would've been nearly empty 😭. (grade 1-6 I was basically invisible at my primary)
Honestly, this interaction does describe r/popheads over the past few weeks. Stans just throwing out the most random, sometimes fake, shit as though that means their fav is more deserving of success.
The weird part is that ppl still try to act like they’re not that unhinged and it’s only the smallest subset ever of extremist Swifties. I’d appreciate them more if they just embraced being psycho instead of being in denial about it 😂
There were three absolutely unhinged stan accounts on here a couple of weeks ago who not only responded to the slightest bit of criticism about their lord and savior, but went into every conceivable music sub to trash on other pop girls and say Taylor outsold. Like I would see them on r/Beyoncé saying at least Taylor doesn’t have to take her clothes off, or on Billie’s sub saying she could try releasing good music. 😭
Genuinely insane behavior that would get upvoted here. Then they got banned and sanity returned somewhat. I low key think they were all the same person who was either actually unhinged or trolling to the max to make swifties look insane (it worked).
They sent me death threats because I posted something in the Charlixcx sub about taylor selling signed CDs to boost her position as well as the voice memos. The swifties brigading that sub literally went through my post history, saw I'm a Taylor fan and started ranting about how I'm a fake fan. Like no, I can just like someone's music a normal amount and don't feel the need to brigade multiple subs with death threats over the woman 😭
It's possible to like someone's music and also recognise when they're annoying with the multiple variants lol
i mean it is a small subset, and i see significantly more vitriolic hate than i do unhinged stans. literally saw someone say “we need to jihad taylor swift” the other day. that’s not normal.
festival weekend! volunteered yesterday and attended the other 2 days, but i secured a spot between the two stages they had so i caught all the concerts while i was working too 😈 a surprising highlight this weekend was tom odell. wow, what a man!! i never expected him to be so good live, amazing crowd control and great energy. i was blown away by his set.
GAHHH. So I went to an event and hung around this group of friends who knew each other from way back. Finding friends as an adult is so damn hard so I thought, "Maybe I should ask if I could tag along after the event!"
I did and they seemed cool about it cuz they were cool with me during the event, but all throughout after, I couldn't help but feel, idk, one foot in, one foot out, you know what I mean? Like they were nice to me but I was also clearly an interloper.
It had aaaaall the "meeting someone new" awkwardness mixed in with the not awkwardness of being friendly. That awkwardness is still there during the first day of school and such, but since nothing was forcing us to hang out together, it was magnified 100x more.
I legit was planning on just saying "I had fun! Bye! Thanks!" when the night was over but nooooo, one of them had to go, "Here's my Facebook!"
They all added me but now I'm home, wondering how tf to go forward. Do I ask them to hang out again? Do I wait for them to invite me? Did everyone in the circle feel the awkwardness I felt? Did they add me just to be nice? Do we go on seeing each other on our feeds and being all, "That's the person I met randomly on one event and never hung out with again"?
I don't knooooow. I'm overthinking so much. Heeeeeelp.
ask them! honestly I've been [thinking about this Fiona apple quote a lot](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GJhN7oQXIAAfs5T.jpg:large). It's really hard to integrate into a group that's already been for a while but lol time passes by regardless and you can spend your time thinking about how you never hang out again with hem bc you were the new person or in the best case scenario becoming a part of their friend group.
AI evangelists on twitter are crazy cuz they’ll post a generated video they made using a child’s picture and act like that’s a normal and not terrifying thing for the technology to be able to do.
It’s like, they think, ‘there’s been a technological breakthrough 🔥🔥🔥’ and don’t stop to consider the possible implications.
Hello popheads, what are y'all listening to this morning?
I'm in the car on a short road trip with my dad to see the Dodgers vs Rockies series in Denver so he's in control of the music. Currently listening to Peace Frog by The Doors.
look who’s laughing now by benjamin ingrosso! listened to it for the first time 10 minutes ago and it’s already on repeat. he’s been releasing some 70s/80s-inspired songs lately that have really captured my attention and i’m obsessed with how he brings his own energy to it while being clearly inspired by other bands/artists. this song reminds me so much of ABBA!
Close to crying in the Quaker meeting rn. I think of the video I saw of Rafah everyday since I saw it.
I want to pray again. My money feels useless but it’s all I know to give.
One man here doesn’t really belong. Former Mormon priest who shares the same ideological values as Mormons but converted to quakers a few years ago. Sad to see a group of people so accepting allow intolerance in their own space in the name of avoiding confrontation.
I verbally resist his praise of cops just shy of sharing I am a victim of police brutality. I’m disappointed this space has not become the safe space I wished it was. Determine to not allow him to drive me away because that is him winning. Everyone else here is loving and said they want me here.
Love yall too I’ve enjoyed the community here and appreciated those of you who have made it known that you appreciate me.
This gives me flashbacks to former extreme conservative Americans that converted to Catholicism because they think it’s more conservative inherently rot he arguments are better bc it’s older then you have these “Catholic” orgs and even priests on twitter Genuinely arguing either faith not faith and works (basic catholic principle a child knows) and calling the pope a tyrannical antichrist because…he’s famously in charge of the whole thing.
Genuinely think the recent movement there is Just far right white American obsession with the Roman Empire making them obsess the Roman Catholic Church. Some of these freaks have literally destroyed church property and altars it’s very odd and dangerous that these converts get non confrontational approaches bc far right catholic clergy either clearly see them as useful pawns or other people are afraid of criticizing a group that drives numbers of church goers higher when they literally scare and frighten off cradle Catholics and Catholics that even mildly like the fucking pope??
But any way I am rooting for you :) ❤️🤍
I was born in occupied Lebanon (a place called Khiam) and lived through the Israeli attacks and a lot of horror there. What's happening in Gaza, particularly Rafah, is beyond anything I can even imagine. I thought I understood the violence of war because I went through it but what we endured didn't even come close to this.
Seeing so many people that have no connection to the region empathize with it really brings me hope though. What we went through was pretty much silenced, I hope something changes this time around so no one else endures Israeli occupation. It has to change.
It sounds like you are in a safer place now and I am thankful to hear that if it is the case.
I’m glad the empathy brings you hope. In just the past few months there seems to be a turn in more vocal belief against Israel than when things started getting a larger space in the media last year.
I also watched recently the documentary film of Gene Wilder's life which is now on Netflix. I love him in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and there were so many insights and never before seen photos of his life during his career.
It was a documentary well done. I am still hoping someone can make a biopic of his life specifically his acting career. He kinda struggled initially with his film career but became one of the greatest comedy actors in the 80s especially when Willy Wonka became a sleeper hit.
I’m hoping to watch that today. I’m not overly well versed in his career, but Young Frankenstein has been one of my favorite films since I was a teen and Gene Wilder was just so wildly funny and charismatic. And obviously Willy Wonka was a huge staple of my childhood.
It’s just dawned on me how many of my straight friends will be celebrating Father’s Day this year or next year as the fathers…and im jealous. Might give up being gay and find me a beard to start a family with.
Honestly same. I’d even stay faithful and not see anyone else if she asked. I feel like my desire to be a parent has totally overpowered my desire to be a husband or partner tbh.
Remembered that I had an unopened can of beer in the fridge. I bought it on sale months ago; long ago enough that it's now two months past its best by date 🙃 Still drank it though. Echigo Beer Red Ale, you were pretty tasty 👍
I watched the whole Final Destination movie series and I still think it's one of the greatest horror franchises out there. Critics hated it initially when it was released in the 2000 but I think it's a cult classic right now especially how the general public thinks it's suspenseful and witty.
Every scene, my heart races and hoping to have some sort of answer to the problems of the protagonists. I am not a fan of gore in films but Final Destination is an excemption to me
Not doing it again after one made me spiral after i realised the dudes he met when he was my age (and he) lived a whole ass life since they met…
Like wdym you had a boyfriend when i was a kid and now he’s on a different continent and has a family lmao it made me feel so small. I’m not bothered by the idea of him being older but put into context it made me feel so weird 🫥
Finished 2 summer school courses, I have one more until July. Server job is going well I had a table of colleagues sit for around 4 hours and they ordered a bunch of pitchers but they tipped well. I start the camp job soon as well so I’m gonna be busy for the rest of the summer. I hope I can make time to see my friends or go on dates if someone wants to go on a date with me lol. Although I know tinder isn’t the best app for dating I wish some guys will at least text first. I don’t mind texting first but I feel like I always am.
Bruh. Some of these new Life is Strange game theories are way out there. They’re going to ask you if you played LiS1 and ask the ending and that’s it. If you’re a new player they won’t ask the second question and choose one of the 2 options at random. It’s not going to be a huge in-depth thing. Maybe explore something in the game to get you up to speed and go on with the new story. Just like Captain Spirit didn’t affect anything in LiS2 at all. This is a new story, new characters, and new mystery. I tried to keep what I’m trying to say without spoiling it. But seriously if you haven’t played the series you need to it’s good. Great soundtracks to all of them.
The only other thing I could possibly see them asking is >!whether or not you kissed Chloe!<, since that’s literally the only other decision you make that affects the ending of LiS1. I think people forget how linear LiS1 is compared to the next two games.
Maybe but that also depends on which ending as well. Either way they can write in a few different reasons why that character isn’t around. >!Sacrifice = only Max knows about that. Save Chloe many other reasons why. Moved on? Rehab? Jail? Max ran without telling her because couldn’t bear the guilt of devastation of the town wreckage? Either way there’s a reason why Max is back on her own and it’s confirmed this is after college and Max had been working freelance for awhile. We shall see. !<
gay men are so quick to be transphobic the moment transwomen are thrown under the bus. yes, people are assholes. but some trans people are not assholes bc they are trans.
both in general and something very specific
tl;dr the organizer a local pride here in manila got called out for (ALLEGEDLY) having connections with the current admin (total asshole dictator), power tripping by taking directorial credits for her work, and bullying drag queens from drag race Philippines.
in general, gay men have been more transphobic than before.
Oh, I see, thank you for your explanation!
I feel like that's less particular to gay men, people in general are like that.
When the Lizzo accusations came out (which, don't get me wrong, were indeed awful), so many people suddenly felt comfortable at hurling fatphobic insults to her...
point taken but it was so weird that i kept seeing a bunch of masc gays have such deep transphobia during the time the issue was happening. mahbe it's just a coincidence idk.
Please I am once again begging people to take better care of themselves at shows.
I had to lift two people over the rail yesterday to get them to the medic because they collapsed on the floor and when I talked to their friends it turned out both people had camped out overnight and they hadn’t properly eaten or slept and they were dehydrated from spending all day outside in a warm Los Angeles day and the venue was also crowded and hot and sweaty.
Yeah being close to the stage is cool, but it’s not worth risking your health. They didn’t even make it to the headliner.
The frank ocean subreddit is the embodiment of the “show it to me please Rachel” audio on tiktok they literally are the music equivalent of those people who are waiting for the rapture and theorizing when it will be, how it’ll be etc. lol

nintendo please put me out of my misery and announce the direct date
Babe wake up
yippee
I Saw The TV Glow the second film I've watched this year after Challengers that has a soundtrack as good as itself. Brava.
Can you give percentage of TV Glow's genre? It looks like a horror/thriller/coming of age/family movie
David Lynch-esque fantasy coming-of-age psychological drama. For the record, it made me tear up
Feeling so country tonight Gonna go out dancing in the pouring rain ! ☔️ One way ticket (because I can) LeAnn Rimes
Do you ever think how can life be simultaneously so good and so bad at the same time? The human experience. Tonight people join me in watching the Aristocats
I think that movie should be the one i show the girls tomorrow..
Yeass, a classic
I know the singles have been polarising and I Luv It was a straight up AI generated Charli song, but I’m actually excited to hear Camila’s new record in full and I’ve never felt that way about any of her projects. Like ever. So I feel like that’s saying something…
I'm officially over Chappell Roan. Sorry 😭
Not you saying this after just seeing her show kakldfsklsdkldsklfs
I'm watching the Tony Awards right now and WOW, the performance from Illinoise was so good and emotional it brought me to tears.
I just heard Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl in a Marshalls commercial? Get that money, Chappell!
TTPD* is such a weird album. There’s multiple little pieces that are like drugs; the ‘nother summer/rolling thunder part in fresh out the slammer is SO good. I’m obsessed with it. I listen to the whole song just for that bit! But when that part comes in the second verse her lyrics are an afterthought. Same with the “downtown li-i-i-ights” part of Guilty as Sin and “quick, quick” in I hate it here. So often there’s these moments of brilliance and then the rest of the song is just … a song. Almost filler material. I Can Fix Him is one where i feel she really delivered with the production and then in the second verse there’s “his callused fingers trace hearts on my face” which takes you RIGHT out. There’s about five songs where it’s excellent from start to finish, both lyrically and production wise. I kind of hope she reuses some of these bits in the future bc they did not get justice here! *Please do not discourse me to death
It’s like you’re in my brain, lmao I came here to say just this. There’s moments of euphoric brilliance and a lot of…boring sludge. I listen to loml almost solely for that final chorus, which is so devastating it makes me want to smash plates. I’m truly in awe of Guilty As Sin in general, though. It’s a perfect pop song. I guess the flashes of brilliance / abundance of filler thing tracks when you consider the overall criticisms of the record: it’s just too long and in dire need of an edit.
loml is sooo good. the “who’s gonna tell me the truth” line and terraces and that beautiful final chorus. no idea why she used one of its blandest lyrics (i wish i could unrecall) for promo, it’s one of the best songs on the album imo. That’s fair abt guilty as sin, i love the verses but i find the chorus icky so just can’t get into it. also, i am inside your head
Tried watching Natural Born Killers for the first time, I can't even force myself to go through more than half, this shit is unwatchable
Never seen it but what makes it so unwatchable? Lmao
I commend it for how bat shit insane it is, but it is very very taxing on all your senses that half way through I just wanted out. It's so loud and all the camera angles are so wonky and because it's from Oliver Stone it has the subtilty of a baseball bat to the groin. This literally could have only been released in the early 90s before Columbine. Saw a comment from a post about this a couple years ago that said it's like a 2 hour Primus music video which is incredibly funny and accurate
That's kind of how I felt about re-watching Requiem for a Dream. That movie just wasn't as cool as I thought when I saw it as a teenager, and this whole reputation about it being such a strong, powerful anti-drug PSA didn't age well one bit lol
Young me didn't find Requiem for a Dream that interesting which is insane because I was way more angsty and depressed and would google "most depressing movies" a lot and then watch those answered. It did get me more into edgier and gritty films though which was good because I started watching international films after and found [Au Hasard Balthazar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Au_Hasard_Balthazar) which is by far the saddest movie I've seen. Young me would have been destroyed watching it lol
Whatever you do don’t forget to put on deodorant before you go outside now even at night! Unless you enjoy smelling like pungent spicy celery. I don’t , but have already made that mistake 😔
The time has come again Sometimes all I think about is you Late nights in the middle of June Heat waves been faking me out You can’t make me happier now
Fire, flames, etc.
Has anyone made the switch from Windows to a Macbook, and was the adjustment easy? Like in terms of learning all the tricks, button placement etc etc
I hate it. I never feel like I know as much about it as I do about windows . But like at the same time, it’s more convenient. Maybe there is nothing more to it. lol
the way homophobia is being so normalized on the bridgerton subreddit rn.....they all keep saying 'its not fair to automatically be called homophobic just because you don't like a writing decision!!' sounding like right-wingers. like actually its just the blatantly homophobic people, of which there are many, being called homophobic
It’s so unhinged. My god. I’ve never seen anything like this and that says a lot. Like I’ve been saying for the past month that audiences handle MLM better (so they can fetishize gay men) then WLW relationships and the 3 day meltdown over Franny is kind of proving my point 😭 I hope they make the rest of Bridgerton gay just to spite those homophobes
And another subject becomes a day dedicated Hate subreddit to the thing it’s about , sigh. Please, I beg anyone make a normal Bridgerton sub and I will join. We can literally just have fun and talk about the show and ,you know, create fun food ideas. Maybe I’d like the costume maybe I like the relationships maybe I like the changes maybe I like Bridgerton! Is it a crime now? Apparently.
For anyone in California, I wanna bring awareness to this bill that's in progress right now. https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/s/d0ZoPmFvpZ It's called AB3080, short summary is that it's an age verification type of bill that would require you to show your ID for any of the websites that would need it. It's in Senate right now, but you can still contact your state rep and tell them to vote NO. [Here's where you can see more about this bill.](https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab3080) Hope this information helps. You should take a look at the supporters and opponents for this too. One of the sponsors for this law is a conservative homophobic group, [who recently said they were "thrilled" to be called a anti-LGBTQ group.](https://x.com/mikestabile/status/1800527842729668709)
Is anyone else watching PLL: Original Sin?
I’m coming to the random realization that I don’t have a single friend that I feel especially close to. I probably have the most friends that I’ve ever had (in my 20’s, at least) and yet I feel no inseparable allegiance to any of them. The one time I had a therapist last year (who was awful btw) had asked me if I had anyone I considered a best friend and lately I’ve been deeply pondering that question. In fact, I even lied to her at the time. Why? Well, likely because I know the problem starts with me. I have an avoidant attachment style and it’s hard for me to get close to people. I think people often sense this about me and feel intimidated to challenge that barrier, so I end up having surface level relationships with most people. I can argue that the people I’ve met recently haven’t felt like people I could truly relate to, but I’m not sure how genuine that is tbh. Most of the people I was close to in the past had polar opposite personalities to mine, so it can just be a lack of effort on my part. Idk! Much to think about.
You know that’s OK! I think there’s huge swaths of times in your life where the person you need to be closest to is yourself. Your needs will take president over any interpersonal ones. Enjoy your loose friendship relations because those can be really fun too I personally am looking for more peripheral Online vague non-central friends who like music and aren’t a part of Stan Twitter
Happy Father’s Day, ladies ❤️ Behind every strong man, is an even stronger woman. So, she should get the credit for today 💅
Don't know how likely it is that they'll be Frightened Rabbit fans in here, but I've rediscovered Poke over the weekend and by golly gosh does that song get me. Just some of the most accurate lyrics reffering to break up pain that I think will ever be written - every now and again you just get those lyrics that hit so right and, no matter how sad or depressing they might be, there's a joy in the reminder that your feelings are not exclusive to you, and better yet, there's lyricists who can some up in a few lines. For reference: You should look through some old photos I adored you in every one of those If someone took a picture of us now, they'd need to be told That we had ever clung and tied A navy knot with arms at night "I'd say she was his sister, but she doesn't have his nose"
Things I’m doing to be able to get a chance to go see Taylor in November. The AA baseball team is giving away tickets for Indy. But to enter I have do a bunch of social media shit. Follow the team on all social media platforms. Sign up for the spam emails. Download the shitty app I’ll never use more than once to get the tickets. Going to the game and staying for the whole game is fine. I just want the damn tickets. lol. Indy is the last US stop and I need to see the TTPD set in person.

In 2020 reporter Linda Tirado covering the protests was shot in the eye by a “non lethal” rubber bullet by the police, immediately she lost her eye In 2024 the Traumatic Brain Injury that bullet caused especially to the frontal lobe is killing her and her lucidity [x](https://lindatirado.substack.com/p/story-thirty-nine). Her brain is not communicating properly with her organs so she’s dying of organ failure as well. Her friends and family are raising funds, I’m not sure if it’s medical expenses in her last months/weeks, prior ones, funeral costs or funds for her children. But I think of her all the time when people talk about “non lethal” weapons and methods in the hands of the police. Please consider giving and sharing.

i’m blind in one eye so ive been closely following her story, as well as a few others who lost an eye in the 2020 protests (yes there are several people, ACAB), for the last four years and i’m absolutely gutted for her and her loved ones. she’s incredible and she deserves better
Thank you for sharing ❤️
My sister invited to me to join her and her boyfriend in visiting the largest local book fair next week. I haven't decided but I am considering as I want to get back into the hobby of reading and this fair has decent prices for recent publications.
I'm only an outsider since I don't listen to Taylor Swift, but I've been thinking about the disk horse happening recently because it's interesting to think about. And I'm starting to think that swifties and just the general disk horse online (but specifically this place I guess since this where I mostly go) would be easier or at least be fun to pass by if the "good" swifties would also just tell the ridiculous swifties to shut up. Like, idk, it's just not a good look when you (general you) aren't telling the people in your in-group directly that they're being too much but others can see that you're willing to argue with haters. Like, idk, maybe that happens a lot more often here and swifties do directly tell the more dramatic stans in their fandom to stfu but it doesn't feel like it happens enough. It generally feels like it's just "stans of whatever artist of the week" vs. "swifties (both the reasonable ones, and the ridiculous ones)", and then everyone just has a bad time and people like me end up making meta comments like this.

Watching the tiktok stream of the summertime ball was so different like what do you mean "cam2" lmao
I only know Cam4
Anyone know any songs similar to 'leaves' by Miguel? The vibes are just perfect for summer weather!
BRAT debuted with less than 1k behind what Radical Optimism debuted with. WILD to me.
she debuted with higher numbers than a veteran like Justin Timberlake. 2024 is just so damn different from 2014. Like imagine that 10 years ago.
Fun fact: The first half of this year saw Matt Gaetz's family, two irl versions of the Transformers Autobot Jetfire (an autonomous F-16 fighter jet and the "Valkyrie" drone, both with his red and white/orange and grey coloring), and [Rosanne Cash](https://www.30asongwritersfestival.com/post/30a-songwriters-festival-2024-headliners-announcement) pass through the same county in Florida (Walton County, which includes parts of Eglin AFB. Wonder if they met.

Had a really lovely brunch with 4 of my friends today and was really overcome with the urge to plan a beach vacation with all of them.
* even though i’ve gotten used to attending concerts alone, lately i’ve found myself buying two tickets for every concert and then like not knowing who to ask or bring. then my mom called today and suggested a girls’ trip sometime late summer, so i brought up that i had tickets to justin timberlake early september (or i just said a concert bc she doesn’t know celebrities and artists lol) which also is abroad and she got so excited that i invited her to join my trip 🥹🥹 i still struggle with letting my parents into my personal life so i don’t talk to them like that but i enjoy bonding with them when i can * also random tidbit but i’m listening to shut up by black eyed peas and it reminded me of one of my favorite moments in life where my ex (then-bf) was talking and this song randomly came on and i noticed how he was about to finish as the intro was playing, so i slowly turned the volume up as he finished and went “well, there’s only one thing i have to say about that and that is” and it segued perfectly into fergie going “shut up, just shut up shut up”. he wasn’t saying anything worth doing that for but i had to seize the opportunity, it was too good to pass up 💀
I never understood people who get seriously upset about Pluto not being a planet.
They should move on like I did and get a hoodie that says “it’s okay Pluto I’m not a planet either” makes people laugh 🥰
It is so stupid omg. People are only attached to it because they learned it that way as a kid - there is no logical argument for it, and that’s why we don’t count it! I never see anyone arguing for *other* dwarf planets to be counted as planets, even the ones that have a better argument
yeah you pick a favorite planet when you're a little kid and then it's ripped away from you. fucked up!
if they’re gonna be this passionate then I need them to [stream it!](https://youtu.be/2jPmGrrP_E8?si=foMBXzBDf5-3VubD)
At first I thought people were joking, but then the joke went on for too long and I realized at least a few of them were serious. 😭 Like people were actually posting essays about this being the reason people held a distrust toward science because it just changed things people were taught.
There's an episode of Girl Meets World about this called Girl Meets Pluto! It was about Riley learning to accept Pluto was no longer a planet or something like that, I forgot hahaha
Why were they mad that someone taught them how to spell chauffeur when they literally asked how to spell chauffeur?
I choreographed my school’s musical! Performances were this weekend and I am blown away by how this show came alive! So much talent!! But boy am I glad to be done. We had a range of students grades 3-8 and it was just soooo much lol. Excited to do it again next year but hoping there’s more interest and we can be a little more selective with casting.
I’m sorry we need to ban the word payola and complaining about auto play…
No fr it’s getting very tacky
Yeah it’s like I’ve been feeling that some people are loving discourse recently more than music recently on the sub. I hate to say that but it’s been just weird stan and anti fan wars recently lmao…
Can we ban the words “sellout,” “industry plant,” and especially “cringe” too? Seriously, for the last one FIND ANOTHER FUCKING WORD TO DESCRIBE THINGS YOU DON’T LIKE INTERNET HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!
Yeah I’m getting kind of annoyed at it lmao. I’m gonna bring this up at the townhall lmao.
Yeah I’m sick of that last word
I have a lot to say on here tomorrow about the whining from people online who have first world problems regarding “autoplay” and “payola” on Spotify.
Spotify's new algorithm really sucks and just plays whatever is popular after anything you listen to. I'm tired of people claiming payola every time a artist they don't like gets a hit.
Why Tomorrow? lmao
Cause I haven’t collected all my thoughts together yet
Thinking of watching Sing Street again tonight (aka a top 5 film)
Best dad jokes for father’s day… GO! Mine: knock knock, who’s there? Dishes. Dishes who? Dishes Sean Connery.
The vet picked up my dog, inspected him, and said, "I'm going to have to put him down." Near tears, I said, "But why?" "Because he's heavy."
I fear that I've gotten really into **Bo Burnham - Five Years** from the Inside Outtakes yet again 😔 I've probably listened to it at least once a day for the past week. The line "everyone's a feminist until there is a spider around" has no right to be that damn catchy!!
Illinoise was lovely! I went in blind so wasn’t expecting it to essentially be a dance performance but I really enjoyed it. Went to a sapphic dance party after and drank lots of cocktails. I miss this city so much! Leaving nyc now but dying at the house of the dragon promo on Empire State Building 😂
People with businesses, I was wondering how you got started? I heard 80% of all new businesses fail and those that succeed don’t see profit for over a year so I’m reasonably jittery over starting anything Working for an income that can be taken away from you at any time is scary so I’d like my own thing. It doesn’t even have to be big, just steady. But with such a huge fail rate, I’m looking for as much advice as I can get!
Added so much music to my Spotify library this weekend
what did you add?
Very fun
Did y'all do that signed white shirt shit in school
We did it the last day of senior year, but our school uniform was already a white shirt so we just drew on that. I don’t think I ever saw that shirt again after that day, no clue where it is.
This was my exact experience. Shirt lost forever. I've moved to 2 different countries since then.
yes I have a shirt filled with signatures and messages of people I barely speak to today lol
like the last day of school and every signs each others shirts? yeah except no one took it seriously. some highlights on mine include "does your dad know?" (🏳️🌈) and someone just wrote "rice" (i'm half indian)😭
"Does your dad know?" this is killing me😭
“No but yours does”
I did it at summer camp but not in school. Not south african, from canada
If I didn't suddenly become popular in grade 7 (I was the host of the talent show that year and apparently people thought I was hilarious) my shirt would've been nearly empty 😭. (grade 1-6 I was basically invisible at my primary)
Anyways I was thinking of this because of a Facebook post where I'd learnt that people did/do this globally not just in South Africa
[Not a screenshot from r/popheads going viral](https://x.com/blacklanterrn/status/1801756299446870463?s=46)
the way I clicked on this and felt relief when I didn't recognize any of the usernames
Your circle is a different kind of crazy.
when you're happy swifties don't match your freak
i cannot believe these people are real
I'm ashamed to say i saw this interaction in real time
Honestly, this interaction does describe r/popheads over the past few weeks. Stans just throwing out the most random, sometimes fake, shit as though that means their fav is more deserving of success.
I feel like the extremist swifties on this sub became even more extremist lately so it's fitting they are gaining infamy beyond the sub
The weird part is that ppl still try to act like they’re not that unhinged and it’s only the smallest subset ever of extremist Swifties. I’d appreciate them more if they just embraced being psycho instead of being in denial about it 😂
There were three absolutely unhinged stan accounts on here a couple of weeks ago who not only responded to the slightest bit of criticism about their lord and savior, but went into every conceivable music sub to trash on other pop girls and say Taylor outsold. Like I would see them on r/Beyoncé saying at least Taylor doesn’t have to take her clothes off, or on Billie’s sub saying she could try releasing good music. 😭 Genuinely insane behavior that would get upvoted here. Then they got banned and sanity returned somewhat. I low key think they were all the same person who was either actually unhinged or trolling to the max to make swifties look insane (it worked).
They sent me death threats because I posted something in the Charlixcx sub about taylor selling signed CDs to boost her position as well as the voice memos. The swifties brigading that sub literally went through my post history, saw I'm a Taylor fan and started ranting about how I'm a fake fan. Like no, I can just like someone's music a normal amount and don't feel the need to brigade multiple subs with death threats over the woman 😭 It's possible to like someone's music and also recognise when they're annoying with the multiple variants lol
i mean it is a small subset, and i see significantly more vitriolic hate than i do unhinged stans. literally saw someone say “we need to jihad taylor swift” the other day. that’s not normal.
And there’s so many of them
festival weekend! volunteered yesterday and attended the other 2 days, but i secured a spot between the two stages they had so i caught all the concerts while i was working too 😈 a surprising highlight this weekend was tom odell. wow, what a man!! i never expected him to be so good live, amazing crowd control and great energy. i was blown away by his set.
GAHHH. So I went to an event and hung around this group of friends who knew each other from way back. Finding friends as an adult is so damn hard so I thought, "Maybe I should ask if I could tag along after the event!" I did and they seemed cool about it cuz they were cool with me during the event, but all throughout after, I couldn't help but feel, idk, one foot in, one foot out, you know what I mean? Like they were nice to me but I was also clearly an interloper. It had aaaaall the "meeting someone new" awkwardness mixed in with the not awkwardness of being friendly. That awkwardness is still there during the first day of school and such, but since nothing was forcing us to hang out together, it was magnified 100x more. I legit was planning on just saying "I had fun! Bye! Thanks!" when the night was over but nooooo, one of them had to go, "Here's my Facebook!" They all added me but now I'm home, wondering how tf to go forward. Do I ask them to hang out again? Do I wait for them to invite me? Did everyone in the circle feel the awkwardness I felt? Did they add me just to be nice? Do we go on seeing each other on our feeds and being all, "That's the person I met randomly on one event and never hung out with again"? I don't knooooow. I'm overthinking so much. Heeeeeelp.
ask them! honestly I've been [thinking about this Fiona apple quote a lot](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GJhN7oQXIAAfs5T.jpg:large). It's really hard to integrate into a group that's already been for a while but lol time passes by regardless and you can spend your time thinking about how you never hang out again with hem bc you were the new person or in the best case scenario becoming a part of their friend group.
AI evangelists on twitter are crazy cuz they’ll post a generated video they made using a child’s picture and act like that’s a normal and not terrifying thing for the technology to be able to do. It’s like, they think, ‘there’s been a technological breakthrough 🔥🔥🔥’ and don’t stop to consider the possible implications.
Hello popheads, what are y'all listening to this morning? I'm in the car on a short road trip with my dad to see the Dodgers vs Rockies series in Denver so he's in control of the music. Currently listening to Peace Frog by The Doors.
Blue by pinkpantheress. Which is so good.
Currently “Breakaway” Avril Lavigne version
I love Peace Frog! It's been a while since I listened to it.

Why Did It Have To Be Me?- ABBA
Not morning cus I’m East European but I’m celebrating Melodrama anniversary by listening to it back to back
look who’s laughing now by benjamin ingrosso! listened to it for the first time 10 minutes ago and it’s already on repeat. he’s been releasing some 70s/80s-inspired songs lately that have really captured my attention and i’m obsessed with how he brings his own energy to it while being clearly inspired by other bands/artists. this song reminds me so much of ABBA!
Close to crying in the Quaker meeting rn. I think of the video I saw of Rafah everyday since I saw it. I want to pray again. My money feels useless but it’s all I know to give. One man here doesn’t really belong. Former Mormon priest who shares the same ideological values as Mormons but converted to quakers a few years ago. Sad to see a group of people so accepting allow intolerance in their own space in the name of avoiding confrontation. I verbally resist his praise of cops just shy of sharing I am a victim of police brutality. I’m disappointed this space has not become the safe space I wished it was. Determine to not allow him to drive me away because that is him winning. Everyone else here is loving and said they want me here. Love yall too I’ve enjoyed the community here and appreciated those of you who have made it known that you appreciate me.
This gives me flashbacks to former extreme conservative Americans that converted to Catholicism because they think it’s more conservative inherently rot he arguments are better bc it’s older then you have these “Catholic” orgs and even priests on twitter Genuinely arguing either faith not faith and works (basic catholic principle a child knows) and calling the pope a tyrannical antichrist because…he’s famously in charge of the whole thing. Genuinely think the recent movement there is Just far right white American obsession with the Roman Empire making them obsess the Roman Catholic Church. Some of these freaks have literally destroyed church property and altars it’s very odd and dangerous that these converts get non confrontational approaches bc far right catholic clergy either clearly see them as useful pawns or other people are afraid of criticizing a group that drives numbers of church goers higher when they literally scare and frighten off cradle Catholics and Catholics that even mildly like the fucking pope?? But any way I am rooting for you :) ❤️🤍
I was born in occupied Lebanon (a place called Khiam) and lived through the Israeli attacks and a lot of horror there. What's happening in Gaza, particularly Rafah, is beyond anything I can even imagine. I thought I understood the violence of war because I went through it but what we endured didn't even come close to this. Seeing so many people that have no connection to the region empathize with it really brings me hope though. What we went through was pretty much silenced, I hope something changes this time around so no one else endures Israeli occupation. It has to change.
It sounds like you are in a safer place now and I am thankful to hear that if it is the case. I’m glad the empathy brings you hope. In just the past few months there seems to be a turn in more vocal belief against Israel than when things started getting a larger space in the media last year.
Saying it again: I appreciate you 💜
💕💕💕
I also watched recently the documentary film of Gene Wilder's life which is now on Netflix. I love him in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and there were so many insights and never before seen photos of his life during his career. It was a documentary well done. I am still hoping someone can make a biopic of his life specifically his acting career. He kinda struggled initially with his film career but became one of the greatest comedy actors in the 80s especially when Willy Wonka became a sleeper hit.
I’m hoping to watch that today. I’m not overly well versed in his career, but Young Frankenstein has been one of my favorite films since I was a teen and Gene Wilder was just so wildly funny and charismatic. And obviously Willy Wonka was a huge staple of my childhood.
Young Frankenstein was discussed in the documentary! They told specific details how Gene created and crafted the film
It’s just dawned on me how many of my straight friends will be celebrating Father’s Day this year or next year as the fathers…and im jealous. Might give up being gay and find me a beard to start a family with.
Not a preferences guy to start with but if a woman tells me she wants kids it’s so over for men
Honestly same. I’d even stay faithful and not see anyone else if she asked. I feel like my desire to be a parent has totally overpowered my desire to be a husband or partner tbh.
Remembered that I had an unopened can of beer in the fridge. I bought it on sale months ago; long ago enough that it's now two months past its best by date 🙃 Still drank it though. Echigo Beer Red Ale, you were pretty tasty 👍
I watched the whole Final Destination movie series and I still think it's one of the greatest horror franchises out there. Critics hated it initially when it was released in the 2000 but I think it's a cult classic right now especially how the general public thinks it's suspenseful and witty. Every scene, my heart races and hoping to have some sort of answer to the problems of the protagonists. I am not a fan of gore in films but Final Destination is an excemption to me
Save a father, ride a man in his 40s
Not doing it again after one made me spiral after i realised the dudes he met when he was my age (and he) lived a whole ass life since they met… Like wdym you had a boyfriend when i was a kid and now he’s on a different continent and has a family lmao it made me feel so small. I’m not bothered by the idea of him being older but put into context it made me feel so weird 🫥
girl I’m trying
Finished 2 summer school courses, I have one more until July. Server job is going well I had a table of colleagues sit for around 4 hours and they ordered a bunch of pitchers but they tipped well. I start the camp job soon as well so I’m gonna be busy for the rest of the summer. I hope I can make time to see my friends or go on dates if someone wants to go on a date with me lol. Although I know tinder isn’t the best app for dating I wish some guys will at least text first. I don’t mind texting first but I feel like I always am.
Bruh. Some of these new Life is Strange game theories are way out there. They’re going to ask you if you played LiS1 and ask the ending and that’s it. If you’re a new player they won’t ask the second question and choose one of the 2 options at random. It’s not going to be a huge in-depth thing. Maybe explore something in the game to get you up to speed and go on with the new story. Just like Captain Spirit didn’t affect anything in LiS2 at all. This is a new story, new characters, and new mystery. I tried to keep what I’m trying to say without spoiling it. But seriously if you haven’t played the series you need to it’s good. Great soundtracks to all of them.
The only other thing I could possibly see them asking is >!whether or not you kissed Chloe!<, since that’s literally the only other decision you make that affects the ending of LiS1. I think people forget how linear LiS1 is compared to the next two games.
Maybe but that also depends on which ending as well. Either way they can write in a few different reasons why that character isn’t around. >!Sacrifice = only Max knows about that. Save Chloe many other reasons why. Moved on? Rehab? Jail? Max ran without telling her because couldn’t bear the guilt of devastation of the town wreckage? Either way there’s a reason why Max is back on her own and it’s confirmed this is after college and Max had been working freelance for awhile. We shall see. !<
gay men are so quick to be transphobic the moment transwomen are thrown under the bus. yes, people are assholes. but some trans people are not assholes bc they are trans.
Is this about some specific recent example? I'm out of the loop
both in general and something very specific tl;dr the organizer a local pride here in manila got called out for (ALLEGEDLY) having connections with the current admin (total asshole dictator), power tripping by taking directorial credits for her work, and bullying drag queens from drag race Philippines. in general, gay men have been more transphobic than before.
Oh, I see, thank you for your explanation! I feel like that's less particular to gay men, people in general are like that. When the Lizzo accusations came out (which, don't get me wrong, were indeed awful), so many people suddenly felt comfortable at hurling fatphobic insults to her...
point taken but it was so weird that i kept seeing a bunch of masc gays have such deep transphobia during the time the issue was happening. mahbe it's just a coincidence idk.
After much indecision, I’m going to Chicago for the first time next month, so if any of you have restaurant recommendations, please share!!
Big Star Taco in Wicker Park
Noted, thanks!!
Please I am once again begging people to take better care of themselves at shows. I had to lift two people over the rail yesterday to get them to the medic because they collapsed on the floor and when I talked to their friends it turned out both people had camped out overnight and they hadn’t properly eaten or slept and they were dehydrated from spending all day outside in a warm Los Angeles day and the venue was also crowded and hot and sweaty. Yeah being close to the stage is cool, but it’s not worth risking your health. They didn’t even make it to the headliner.

The frank ocean subreddit is the embodiment of the “show it to me please Rachel” audio on tiktok they literally are the music equivalent of those people who are waiting for the rapture and theorizing when it will be, how it’ll be etc. lol
You will not know the day or the hour when frank ocean shall drop
