grandson's new album came out in september and I've listened to it so much he's my top artist for the whole year. but I'm fine. just, uh, don't look at the tracklist or any of the lyrics. no, really, don't, I'm FINE!

for what it's worth, up until now, tumblr has been SLAUGHTERING every other social media platform. there's a respectable showing from bluesky but goddamn, the few people left on tumblr want original art and are willing to put their money where their mouth is
I'm anxious about the kickstarter, so I've decided to turn it into a bit of a horse race for fun. I've created a bunch of 'final 3 days' links and we're gonna see who brings in the most folks.
who do you think will win? tumblr? bluesky? instagram? tiktok? www.kickstarter.com/projects/aty...

thinking about this and how as a high schooler I put the bright sessions episodes, the first few seasons where the youtube cover is the file folder and case/patient numbers, on the roku and every time I go back to them idk I always find comfort in those <3
I do post all my podcasts to YouTube because some people *do* like to consume them through there, just having the static image video playing! it never performs as well as the shows do on a podcast app, but you do pick up listeners
