bruce springsteen - faithless

loose leaf - growthefuckup

dowsing - no one said this would be easy

they might be giants - album raises new and troubling questions

taylor swift - tortured poets department: the anthology

dead milkmen - quaker city quiet pills

taylor swift - tortured poets department

the juliana hatfield three - become what you are

dillinger escape plan with mike patton - irony is a dead scene

Dropping a chunk of burrito down your dress

And how it clings to your belly

Before it hits the ground.

Ack.

the two Doubleclicks songs most likely to give me The Feels are "imposter" which is about the curiosity robot landing on mars, and "kilogram" which is about the official kilogram getting replaced by reference to a universal constant

and like, the songs aren't just about those things, they are sung by those two inanimate objects... the little robot so unsure of herself "I'm just pretending I can do this" and the kilogram wondering "who will I be, if I'm not your kilogram?"

why do I have feelings for these creatures

I am not out of their league. In my opinion, they are the prettier one.

I often listen to the doubleclicks’ “Clifford is not too big,” and cry bc they and so many others have been oppressed and have suffered terrible violence for simply existing in their own bodies.

My partner can not access medically necessary surgery unless they lose an arbitrary and unsafe amount of weight. Their healthcare is literally being held hostage. If fat people die younger, it is bc they are denied adequate and equal healthcare. It is bc they are shamed and berated at the doctor’s office rather than cared for.

Make no mistake, eating a healthy, varied diet and enough calories, exercising daily, all these things make one healthier. But there’s a persistent myth that fat bodies can’t also be healthy. My partner is fat and healthier than me, but everybody assumes the opposite bc they’ve been brainwashed by our fatphobic society.

Fat bodies are not inferior. Fat people are not inferior. Fatphobia is violence.

This is the best review of my band I could ever hope for. (BTW we're opening for the Doubleclicks next month in Virginia and Maryland!)
