#laue

The Apple Tree Under the Sea ~ Hemlocke Springs (just came out and I love the music and videos; watch Be the Girl)

Everybody Scream ~ Florence & the Machine (seeing her in April!)

What a Devastating Turn of Events~ Rachel Chinouriri (and she's opening for Florence!!)

The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess (as I desperately wait for her next album and play The Subway on repeat)

Ten Love Songs~ Susanne Sundfør (I was late to this one but someone on tumblr turned me on to her and I love the disco spiritual vibes)

Not any specific album just anything by Otyken (they're a Siberian indigenous group and they bring something feral and magical alive in me) (And if you enjoy them, I also recommend The Hu)

Funeral Song (single)~ Baby Bugs (love this art; recommend for fans of nicole dollanganger, or previous felony martinez fans)

Mental Health (single)~ Father John Misty (this came out a few years ago now on the Mahashmashana album but this song specifically does something ethereal to my autistic and mentally ill brain that I cannot qualify)

Elio (single)~ Elio Mei (this song is so sweet and sad and whimsical, and their voice is so lovely; i also recommend their 2025 album)

The Ballad of the Bride of Frankenstein (single)~ Mirah (be still my heart, Mirah has an album coming out in 3 days?!?)

Anyway I hope you enjoy, and please leave music recommendations <3

I decided to get into knitting partially to connect to my Nordic/Scandinavian heritage and partially to continue to mend the broken relationship between me and my mother as she grows into gentleness and open-mindedness in her later years.

So far it’s been emotionally, mentally, and spiritually stimulating, engaging, and healing. Unfortunately it’s damaging to me physically as I have fibromyalgia and eds, which both involve joint connectivity problems and pain, but I push through because it’s really rewarding to create something, and I love gifting my friends and family with something homemade and customized just for them.

Clawed my way out of a depression hole thanks to good friends, self care, and extreme patience with the process of grief. And now I feel like my spunky self again, so we went farm hopping.
