Some vloggers don't appreciate the irony of making a 40 minute video essay pontificating their opinions and decrying "Main Character Syndrome" whilst using a thumbnail of their own faces front and centre.
Damsel, your entire content machine is a case of Main Character Syndrome, no?

Even SATB choirs have four genders, just saying.
"There are only 2 genders."
Not in opera, my friend. You can be a soubrette, a lyric tenor, a coloratura soprano, a basso profundo, a low lyric baritone...I could go on.

Dana and I are your typical New England lesbians driving a Suburu and looking around for a good all-night diner after drinking microbrews at the goth club.

The biggest ego boost on earth is to be invited to fill in bass for a student ensemble where the musical arrangements are made for beginning bassists.
Them: Mathonwy sight-reads flawlessly, wow! She holds it all together!
Me: *cheekily does a slap bass fill*
Them: WHOOOOOA!

I had a dream last night that involved someone talking about AI and I'm really peeved about it.

NPR gave Sarah McLachlan a tiny desk concert!
Sarah McLachlan's music defined my teenage years. Every goth girl in the 90s was allowed at least one contemporary female singer-songwriter to adore.

I think it's funny that "boysenberry" comes up before "boyfriend" in my predictive text because I'm queer and I love brambleberry varieties.

The Saxons used to call me Lencten, and now everyone thinks I'm an austere goddess who demands you fast and abstain.
“Lent” is the shortened form of a word that is related to “lengthen.” (As in “the lengthening of days in springtime.”)
Not sure who needed to hear that today, but there it is.
