Caitlyn Kiramman, for my dear friend @li-vermin-il.bsky.social.

In my headcanon for this piece Cait is surprising Vi by dressing up in her old enforcers uniform 👀 with a few changes, stockings and custom louboutins anyone? 🫠🤤 #CaitVi #Arcane

I wanna upload the Dance in the Dark piano video but it's too long, you'll just have to trust me when I say hearing that live was life altering.
But have this instead 💚

I could say something about every single song she did, for my hearing Dance in the Dark, just her and her piano, was everything (especially as she already did it in London so I didn't expect it)
But when she sang born this way.... My soul left my body

Me toooo, I remember watching the Coachella set with my jaw on the floor, it was so theatrical.
I almost didn't get tickets, it was soooo hard to secure them, just got lucky really. But very thankful

I was shaking when she first came on stage. I still can't believe it happened

Can’t believe the Irish tried a version of UBI, found it worked, and decided to keep it rather than commission another study.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

It can be incredibly hard to see your progress when recovering from depression or burnout. The whole world keeps demanding certain benchmarks of you to the point that it’s easy to feel like a failure despite your hard work. Remember your progress is your own journey. Every win means something.
