Lovely to meet you new followers! I’m Sorana 👋 Music obsessive/collector/nerd, synesthete (sound-colour) & contrarian (!) Work more behind the scenes commercially atm but’ll release my music again soon. Teach a bit. Laugh a LOT. Love all the stuff in my emoji list ⬆️ Felt cute, might delete later.
Since I found out about this being on TV a bunch of cinemas've taken it on - I am of course going. I love Andrea Gibson's writing so much that I'm ok with the fact that I've knowingly paid for tears on a Friday night.
I don’t have a telly, or any subscriptions to anything, but I’ll be beating my friends’ doors down to watch this on November 14th. (I wish I could just buy it, bring it home, & keep it though.)

The casualisation/workload seesaw continues apace. I need a job, you have too much of a job, and yet here we both are.
Today in the life of an academic specifically targeted by management as under hours: PhD supervision meeting; exam board attendance; read and rank 51 job applications; write and deliver tonight’s MA lecture; write tomorrow’s 3rd year class.

Every time a real musician skips a gig, a thousand souls settle for Spotify’s algorithm. Get back on stage, you're a public service.

A non-musician friend thought I'd gone to a fancy dress Halloween party. The evidence? The 'costume' I posted on social media ⬇️

On my dog walk I often chat with right wingers. I pretend I am an ex-Reform voter put off by the utter fuck up of our county council. Then they see me as one of their own, don't get defensive and shouty, and start to question their own opinion of Reform. Honey, not vinegar.

This looks like it'll be an interesting read. Released Feb '26: How the Album Outplayed the Algorithm and Survived Playlist Culture.
I stuck with albums as I love seeing artists explore themes & sound palettes. Why did you stick with them?

SO many straight men have ‘befriended’ me on Stand in Pride recently (it matches LGBTQ+ people with stand-in family for support). Their determination to make every thing about ‘conquests’ & infiltrating queer space is genuinely as remarkable as it is exhausting.
