A general announcement to those who will be raptured on Sept 23, if you will be leaving behind any adorable shih tzus, I would be more than happy to care for them while you’re in heaven and stuff.

Not to victim blame but Spotify Wrapped always makes me feel like artists are so cooked bc we all post these vanity metrics that are free ads for the company that has normalized the devaluing of our art 🥲
