Okay so I woke up again in the middle of the night to a spider crawling on my leg.

WHY DO SPIDERS HAVE BEEF WITH ME AND/OR LOVE ME?!

This can *not* be a frequent occurrence or I will go craaaaaaazy I’m serious 😩

I woke up TO A SPIDER CRAWLING ON MY FACE 😭

I swiped it off but once I realized what I touched, I woke up & immediately searched for it within my blankets. I thought, ‘maybe it wasn’t a spider’ & it was just a leaf or something from outside (I have dogs) but then I found it UGHHH

Absolutely loved how unserious (but good!) Honey Don’t was! #MovieSky

brittany • bookish millennial • she/her @bookishmillennial.bsky.social · Sep 2

Solo dates are so underrated!

Omg the song is called House Tour but my subliminal thoughts took over & renamed track 11 hahahahahahahahaa oops 😇

brittany • bookish millennial • she/her @bookishmillennial.bsky.social · Aug 29

11. Snooze Fest - now we are back to 90s hip hop vibes? Produced by all white people, so yeah umm, the most upbeat track of the album & yet, Sabrina still sings the same five notes for the entire song???

Overall, I give this a C- for how catchy & funny Manchild is, how fun WDYGH?, & how relatable the lyrics of ST, WABULN & Goodbye are.

I’m gonna go listen to Short n’ Sweet (Deluxe) instead!

12. Goodbye - the lyric “I wish I had a gun” just doesn’t land well amidst the gun violence pandemic in the U.S. 🫠

the melody feels reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac (love) & I do enjoy the message of “gtfo of my life for good” though

10. Don’t Worry I’ll Make You Worry - An absolute snooze fest, imagine if she went on tour ONLYYYYY singing *these* songs. People would take naps!!!!

9. Go Go Juice - I do think she thrives when she leans into country vibes, & I think it’s funny that she’s like ‘yeah, any attention will do,’ as a heartbroken dumpee, but still find this to be just *fine*

8. When Did You Get Hot? - this is maybe one of the better tracks. It’s understandably unserious, flirty, & reminds me of something Play (Swedish girl group) would’ve had cute lil choreo to in an top 10 MTV music video

7. Never Getting Laid - the melody & vibe sounds like music that would be playing on vinyl in the background of that villain’s loser ass stilt house in Charlie’s Angels (2000) & he was corny af

6. Nobody’s Son - did she record this half asleep in a high school gym? I love the message of “your son sucks” but hate the echoes & the bland delivery of this song

5. We Almost Broke Up Last Night - again, *totally* relate to the lyrics, but this sounds so much like “Couldn’t Make It Any Harder” (which I *love* but WABULN is not as good & feels like she’s plagiarizing herself hahaha)

3. My Man on Willpower - this one’s for the Hudas of the world (love island USA). Male-centered final bosses, it is YOUR time to shine babyyyyyyy
4. Sugar Talking - I enjoy & relate to the message/lyrics of the song, but the melody is a snooze fest

1. Manchild - fun but I hate the intro verse of calling people “stupid” & “slow” .. feels ableist & lazy
2. Tears - I’m a slut (/loving) & I’ll use this for sexting but I draw the line at this song hahaha

Sabrina Carpenter’s album Man’s Best Friend is a flop (to me).

This thread is gonna be my review of the track list…

In the words of Sabrina herself….. “Oh boy” #MusicSky

Huda is so *dangerous* for Black people — she fetishizes men, then villainizes & plays into the incredibly racist & harmful “angry Black woman” stereotypes towards Black women.

Block me if you’re a Huda apologist because I have *zero* tolerance for racism #LoveIsland
