Shocking how many people don’t know that hens lay non-fertilized eggs and think the yolk they’re eating is a baby chicken
Not an invitation to cocoon yourself in a self-care bubble for four years, but a reminder to the 24/7 worriers that you can literally write "To Do on Monday: Worry about ________" on a post-it note and stop worrying about it for one day while you recharge.
Life is busy, and I haven't posted in a few days, so indulge me a moment for thoughts on a poem. Below is a link to a reading of "Warning: When I Am an Old Women I Shall Wear Purple." The 'meaning' behind this work is a rather simple one: do not wait to do the things that bring you joy until you are old because you are afraid of how people will perceive them. The amount of time we are granted on this earth is not guaranteed and will never be long enough. Live while you can. Love while you can. And do not be afraid to wear purple.
A large portion of my readers are Lovejoy and Wilbur Soot fans, and I adore them. I adore all of my readers, of course, but this is a message solely for them. Punk Rock, Counter Culture, Goth, Emo, you name it - they were all popularized by people smart enough to think deeply and critically about our place in the universe and who were brave enough to own it. The only crime a majority of you have committed is asking difficult questions, standing firmly by your beliefs, and feeling empathy in a situation where it is difficult to do so.
No one can tell you which art to like or music to listen to. People have been doing morally reprehensible things since time began, and quality is in no way based on the integrity of their morals. The idea that it's only ok to like a 'bad persons' work if their dead is so ludicrous that I will not dignity that sentiment here.
Do what makes you happy and gives you the strength to live and move forward. This life is hard, but it is worth it. An please, consider wearing purple more often. You might find that it suits you.

If I hear one more person say "Federal workers should strike!" I'm gonna lose it.
1. While many federal workers are unionized, it is specifically illegal for us to strike. Before joining the federal workforce, we have to sign agreements to not strike against the government.
2. Musk wants to dismantle these organizations and dissolve the positions. If feds strike, they won't care. They'd love that. They'd lock the doors behind us. It would give them permission to fire everyone immediately and dissolve their positions forever.
YOU need to strike. Non-feds. For us. Federal workers have been holding the line against fascism for you, and it's time for you to get off your ass and hold the line for US. You need to strike because we cannot.
Hey, here is some new frustrating discourse.
I'm going to clear this up super duper quick.
And then we can move on and discuss more important things.
Okay?
Here goes...
Nicolas Cage is an incredible actor who is very bad with money so he has to act in terrible movies because otherwise they will repossess his dinosaur skull collection.
But even when he is in terrible movies with terrible writing he refuses to phone in his performances. And sometimes when you are acting your ass off while saying some of the dumbest dialogue ever conceived it can give the appearance the acting is the issue rather than the writing and story.
Hayden Christensen knows that feeling all too well.
So next time you see Nic Cage in a B movie acting a fool, just know he probably bought some new shrunken heads and forgot to pay the mortgage on his volcano island.
1. Always stream the main/title track using a PLAYLIST. Create title-track focused playlists. Playlist length doesn’t matter, you can use 5 hours or 7 hours long playlists. But what you need to do is change the playlists in every 2/3 hours. Streaming from only one playlist for too long might count as bot behavior. Here’s an example how title-track focused playlist looks like ⬇️⬇️
2. ONLY 2-3 SONGS IN-BETWEEN THE MAIN/TITLE TRACK FOR SPOTIFY. Adding 4 - 5 - 6 songs wastes too much time. Also, you HAVE TO add other versions of the main/title track (example: remix versions, instrumental version) in-between as fillers. Again, only as FILLERS, not to replace them with the original version. Adding other versions in your playlists will boost the streams for the original version in official charts. And don’t use 🔀 or 🔁 button. Take a look how to add them,
3. Always PRE-SAVE/PRE-ADD the song when they drop the link. They drop few days before the comeback day. Here’s why it’s extremely important,
4. Get premium subscription plans of your affordable prices. Streaming from a premium account has less chances of streams getting deleted. For a first timer, you can start with free trials here.
5. Share the link to your family members, friends & on other social medias to gain more unique listeners.
6. DO NOT skip/repeat/pause the song in the middle. Just stream the full song normally.
7. Repeating/looping the song again n again counts as spam/bot streaming. Often people stream just the song or the whole album over and over throughout the day. Spotify deletes those streams while filtering out the datas. That’s why it’s important to stream with a PLAYLIST.
8. Make sure to create MULTIPLE ( 15 or 20 at least) title-track focused playlists and switch between the playlists HOURLY. Streaming from only 1 or 2 playlists for hours count as spam/bot streaming. If you don’t have time to create more playlists or in need for more, then DM me on Twitter.
9. Add some NON-BTS tracks in between. You can use songs from their mixtapes, collabs, songs produced by them as non-bts songs. Or some artists you like to listen to besides bts (example: coldplay, ariana grande, beyonce etc etc).
10. Keep 2 and 3 gap in between adding main/title-track, not more than that. You can change the gap pattern tho, not repeat it. Something in FROZE & repeated pattern isn’t organic. For example ⬇️⬇️
Title track
xxxx (gap)
xxxx(gap)
Title track
xxxx (gap)
xxxx (gap)
xxxx (gap)
Title track
xxxx (gap)
xxxx (gap)
xxxx (gap)
Title track
xxxx (gap)
xxxx (gap)
You can change the gap pattern the way you want.
11. Offline streams will also count. First you need to download the song before going offline mode. But you need to turn on wifi/mobile data time to time (in a day) to make your streams count for the global chart and the overall streams.
12. IMPORTANT REMINDER FOR 🇬🇧 ARMYS: UK official singles chart count only 10 streams per day per acccount coz UK charting system is different than US, thus if you streamed 10 times on Spotify and still want to help, then create a new account or switch to another account if you already have one or pick another platform (ex: Apple Music, YouTube, Deezer etc) to stream 10 times more from there. Streams more than 10 will be thrown out. So for title-track focused playlist, add the main/title-track 10 times in your playlists, then move to another account or another platform to stream 10 times more.
13. Plug earphone with your device for volume.
14. DO NOT use any third party, VPN apps to create accounts or to stream.
