fan: hi! I’m such a huge fan and I wanted to say thank you for all your wonderful work.

dodie: aw thank you

fan: your music has helped me through dark times, recently I suffered from-

dodie: *fidgity, not in the right headspace* ah I feel so guilty but I just can’t do this right now

fan: *stops talking*

dodie: go on, I’m listening.

fan: dodie you’re not, but that’s okay. I understand. we all understand. as a fan base, majority of us do deal with mental health issues. we all can agree that trying to push through something while being ill is so hard. so we understand if you need a break. we love you

dodie: *le smile*

sammy: hey, calm your tits.

sammy: soothe your boobs

sammy: de-stress your breasts

sammy: hakuna your tatas

sammy: your honkers need to stop going bonkers

dodie: fix your dick

sammy: yes

dodie: are you alright with constructive criticism? I don’t want to sound mean

sammy: yeah go ahead, I don’t mind

dodie: it fucking sucks

Now, I’m no authority on this matter so feel free to put me in check if you feel like I’m speaking out of turn, but the black and brown bars always felt tacked on to me. It doesn’t feel inclusive to me so much as it feels like an afterthought, like: “lgbtq+… oh and also poc.” I felt like something more along these lines (see below) could celebrate the poc throughout the community– but again, that’s not really my decision to make. Either way, I support the change, and I think the inclusion is awesome.
