based on this post by @dear-ao3. but I'm not satisfied yet so more versions will occur. I mean I only did it like this for a last minute assignment but it's really giving christian minimalist decor

looked up "band tee" because I based a project on the nebulous idea of a cool '80s band tee and now I have to posthumously make a moodboard for it (supposedly the first step) and

you can blame it on lack of sleep all you want but this is so funny to me right now. this is nothing like what I need for my moodboard but I am tempted. I am sooo tempted

another year, another pride month playlist (I have made exactly one of these before and it was 2 years ago) complete with a tumblr post (this post) that explains why I picked every song I picked. also I did actually put them in an intentional order this time, which I don't think I did last time, so that's pretty epic of me
"The Uninvited Parade" by The Uninvited Loud Precision Band - uninvited. parade. loud. "we are marching through your closet unafraid." is this song NOT about pride?? fit so well I themed the playlist title from it
"Free Love (SolarCity Radio Mix)" by Zelma Davis - I do think, at its root, pride is about spreading love. this song is more or less about the same thing about pride, in that case.
"Silhouette (feat. Milk Talk)" by Moe Shop - this song is about lesbians to me, 100%. also moe shop is non-binary so there's a queer artist who makes all sorts of bangers for you
"Up the Ladder to the Roof" by The Nylons - I did put thought into the specific song I chose, but the primary reason I wanted to put a nylons song on this playlist is because I recently learned that all 4 original members were gay men. this song isn't from a time when they had all the original members, but they always did have gay members throughout their entire group lifetime, and I thought that was super cool.
"Heart Shaker" by TWICE - IS SANA GAY
"Disconnected" by Idlewild - pride is about connecting, on some level, and I want to recognize that we do feel disconnected often in our everyday lives, especially as queer people for at least some of us
"Take Me Higher" by A.C.E - makes me happy and it kinda has celebratory vibes therefore it is a song for pride
"Cause I'm God Girl (Feat. Il Joon Hung Of BTOB)" by HyunA - ok first of all why are we calling it this, it took me ages to find this song on spotify bc everyone on youtube at least calls it roll deep, which I like much better as a title. and now that that's out of the way there's no real reason this is here other than it's what inspired me to make this playlist. idk a drag performance to this song would probably go crazy
"Lucky Girl Syndrome" by ILLIT - because I AM lucky! I AM a lucky girl to be queer and sort of kind of a girl!
"Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" by They Might Be Giants - shoutout to trans people and also the inherently queercoded experience of a name change
"Freedom" by David Archuleta - song by a gay guy (george michael) covered by a gay guy overcoming some religious trauma
"villain" by Teniwoha - shoutout to trans people part 2 except this song is literally explicitly about trans people this time. also are you kidding me they chose flower to sing this??? the most mainstream intersex-coded vocaloid ever? she is literally like zero steps from being intersex. like I'm actually not sure it's not canon
"Outta The Clouds" by FEMM - because things will get better!
"i am going bald" by little purr man - pride and the queer experience are partially about embracing change and imo the acceptance and love of change in this song is really beautiful
"Love Shack" by The B-52's - I acknowledge that the album cover being rainbow probably had some influence on my subconscious telling me to put this in the pride playlist. but also it's really fun and I think it fits well in a pride setting
"Here We Go, Let's Rock & Roll (feat. Freedom Williams & Zelma Davis)" by C & C Music Factory - I would play this song if I was dj-ing a queer dance party
"Mr. Bass Man" by Johnny Cymbal - this song is queer coded. gay man moment, in my personal opinion
"Melvin McBrickle" by Peter Himmelman - I could say so many different things about this one but really it's that I'm manifesting melvin would be an ally
"Hot Summer" by f(x) - pride month is in june and I live in the northern hemisphere. bam. also I think about the video where amber went looking for her chest a lot
"Body Rock" by Prizzmy☆ - this song is like a cmy rainbow. do you understand
"Aromantic Anthem (Pure Love)" by MaJiKer - I feel like. if you've read the title you don't really need me to explain anything else
"Everytime We Touch" by Cascada - this is specifically for my bisexual friend who likes this song. but it does feel like a bisexual song yk
"It's Not Over" by Devin Mc Ewan - because pride doesn't end on july 1! also callback to the first song and kinda the theme of this whole playlist

one thing I hate about telling people I'm aro is that they tend to assume I feel bad about it—less so in queer spaces, but it happens there as well. like, I know there are people out there who do feel bad about it. but I don't. why do you just assume I would feel bad? do I look upset about this?? I'm fine. I'm literally chilling. maybe twice a month I kinda sorta wish I had ever felt romantic feelings for anyone but most of the time it simply does not cross my mind, and even when it does, it's more curiosity than dejection. do NOT try to console me by telling me I could be a late bloomer. I do not care. if I end up being a late bloomer, whatever, and if I never even get a crush, that's chill too. change might be fine, but I'm not looking for it. I'm happy just the way I am.

So last month I got hit by a car and died right. Which I didn't initially realize until I watched some guy haul my body into his pickup and drive off. Which, being that it's deep in rural Michigan, I assume means my body will make some venison jerky and maybe some wall decoration, and I'll be resigned to being one of hundreds of deer ghosts floating around Saginaw, which is w/e. But then I find out the guy works at a taxidermy shop or something, and he's actually pretty good at stuffing and mounting deer carcasses, which I come to find out when I find myself face to face with my old body in the shop window. So naturally, I figure since ghosts need to possess something to interact with the living world and etc etc etc the most logical thing to do is to possess my own body, since it's basically a statue of myself. And a little surprisingly, it actually fits like a glove. Like, since it's my body, it feels like stepping right back into place. So I get out of town and back to my herd, eventually. And that's where the trouble starts coming into it, because after I get settled again, I don't know how to explain to everyone else what feels so weird. Like since I can move my body and do everything I used to do, it's functionally the same, like nothing happened. Or it SHOULD be, so I don't know how to explain how it's NOT. But it's just hard to explain it to someone who's never been hit by a truck I guess

I stopped having the ice cube tray theft dreams, by any chance did you take them
I keep having dreams in which I feel the desire to steal people's ice trays, which prompts me to (in-dream) ponder the morality of stealing the ice trays in relation to my personal sense of integrity. The dreams always end with me still conflicted, not having stolen the ice trays as a result of my inner turmoil. I don't know why I want the ice trays I think I just want to steal things

good news I ran the dryer and neither me nor my roommate has died yet so I'm going to say this is causation and not just correlation and I did it right

if I say something like "it's way past my bedtime," I mean it much less in an "I'm normally asleep by now" way and much more in an "all things considered, I would have ideally fallen asleep several hours ago, but here I am"

when my graphic design professors recognize the fonts I'm using it's like a 50/50 chance that it's because it's overused and not very good so sometimes I feel really nervous about choosing common fonts but then I go THIS IS CASLON. it's CASLON. it's FINE
