@dullan.bsky.social gave me tips on mixing individual drum tracks, which my folk punk ass has never done.
These are just demo mixes that I'm sending to my audio engineer friend, but now I feel like they actually represent what I want them to sound like.
Everyone say "thank you Dullan."

And what if I said full band versions of Brianna Carmel songs.

Here’s my larger disclaimer on warmlines: Your mileage will definitely vary. Operators are trained, and often state-certified, but we aren’t licensed therapists, just people who have come through our own struggles somewhat-intact and want to support others. We don’t have the answers, but we’re here.
Also, NAMI’s warmline directory is a good list of peer-operated non-crisis support lines in the U.S.

This is powerful truth, applicable to every artform -- painting, photography, music, film, whatever. It's not just license to indulge in what you, personally, find aesthetically pleasing, it's an outright demand that you do so in pursuit of the legitimacy of your own artistic vision.
this photo i took once sparked a raging debate in a photography group
one half was disgusted, existentially offended at the palette
another went to war on its behalf, thrilled by novelty
i learned so much about art that day. people will love a thing for the exact same reason another hates it.
