Mount Eerie’s album, A Crow Looked at Me, is crushing. Phil Elverum’s wife died shortly after their first child was born. It’s a raw grief album. I listen to this when I need a good cry. https://youtu.be/-1UyUsz0A-A?si=3JY1CLXZIxxKxDl6
Frightened Rabbit’s “Modern Leper” also hits me in the chest.
Well, I crippled your heart a hundred times
And still can’t work out why
You see, I’ve got this disease
I can’t shake and I’m just rattling through life
I’ve been spending a lot of time watching horrific video out of Gaza and just crying. The sheer weight of the suffering is staggering.
It feels surreal that i’m meant to log in to my job and click click click for 8 hours…
i’m dogsitting! it’s nice to be there for these two little guys who had been rescued from a neglect situation. it is sad to see how much human contact means to them, but rewarding to keep showing up and building trust.
Let’s keep in mind that TV subtitles were true garbage back then. I have ADHD and often miss dialogue. I remember resigning myself to not using them as there was a huge time delay and the white text on black boxes covered 10% of our 480p screens.
My first holiday season after going no contact with my parents. I spent time with my wife and her family and many cousins who love me! It felt safe and warm to be surrounded by people who actually like me— really feel like I made the right choice this year!
