(but i don’t know how to deal with a lot of things e.g. when there are two voices layered over each other; the “background” or complementary melody is much harder for me to pick out just by listening to it)

(i am very much not A Singer, i don’t know how to sing properly, the only things i have going for me are that i don’t sound terrible like some people do at karaoke where you wish they would stop LMAO and i’m fairly OK at hearing a tune and imitating it w/o being off-key)

had no idea Brokeback Mountain was originally a short story; it’s next book club book*

*short story since next event is a book swap and discussing something is optional

sweet i’m gonna suggest this at queer book club next time bc i’ve wanted to read her for ages

OK neat that was the one that came up when i Googled and it sounds cool

can you read it without having read the rest of the series?

i likewise envy people who are more assertive about it but everyone’s different

offers hugs if wanted, this is a mood with my fam too and tbh it’s stressful and exhausting to keep making the effort to correct people when they don’t seem to want to bother to put in the effort of trying to better remember to do it 💀

i wish i had a picture of it, but when i was a little kid we had this small wooden cabinet and i literally covered it in stickers lol. i /think/ i kept trying to stick shit places so as a compromise my parents designated that the Sticker Zone

oh i've never heard of these, i'll look into it! altho i do like the feeling of cosy candle burning too...

(deleted my OG thread since i realized some of the points i mentioned were already in the article, sorry!)
