Re-downloaded Spotify to get my final wrapped and was pleasantly surprised to get a video message from Lauren Shippen as what I can only assume is my reward for bingeing all of The Bright Sessions this year in an absolute frenzy :D

listening to the Apollyon mid-season finale and man every time I listen to an episode of this show I cannot stop thinking of how damn good this show is. The writing is SO dense and layered and I greedily listen to it every time. I care about these characters so much.

Doing some research for a possible new project, and it hurts to see just how many podcast squares/covers out there are so clearly AI generated.

Hand draw that baby, even if you're not a confident artist. Find stock images and make them your own. Collab with someone! Anything is better than AI!

Dear authors writing a woman who is overworking herself in a dark academia/cutthroat work environment — please consider showing the ways in which overworking affects your FC in a manner other than "she does not eat".

I beg of you. Please. Stop it.

This will piss off people who are Into Music but Lily Allen and CharlieXCX occupy the same space in my mind which is "artist who sings super popular song I am surprised to find out is sung/written/performed by them".
