uncaringly bending the rules of language to ur will
write and talk in an ideosyncratic style. pronounce words in the way you like to even if it’s ”wrong”. spell with a flair for the creative. it will make u harder to understand but people love an incomprehensible mystique

My bro and I just had this conversation. If the person you’re talking to knows what you’re saying, why do we have to bring merriam-webster into it?

megabyte mostly bc standardization of language enables both communication globally *but* a standardization allows for the policing of dialect in relation to the hegemonic norm allowing speakers to judge other speakers based on adherence or non-adherence to "correct" speech/language

gibberish and word garbling is really underappreciated
sometimes I try to send a badly misspelled and confusing word by text and the autocorrect "fixes" it, I'm considering turning it off but just generally: adds a bit of spice to conversation

the bare bones production of 2004-2007 pop
time frame's approximate buuuut you know it when you hear it. think "poker face". there is so much space and everything's so dry... there is no lushness... the drum samples are unbelievably flat... and yet! and yet! it works so well! the economy of production makes any pop singer's vocals soar even higher than they would otherwise, and really pares the machine of a pop song down to its bare necessities... which is why i think we got so many bangers in this period. there's a lot of good stuff to get into even if it's just for nostalgia

not pre-apologizing for ur actions/art
tbf i'm still working on this but: many ppl have the tendency to like, put themselves out in the world with an attached asterisk like "oop! sorry i exist! oop! sorry if you don't like me, i'm working on being the universally beloved human object! oop!" and thusly pre-apologize for every mildly annoying or perceptually uncouth action they will ever take. none of that shit. assuming one is regular and not trying to like, destroy the lives of everyone around themselves, one does not need to constantly explain and apologize for their actions. trust people to tell you if you suck, because They Will. same goes for art obvs. don't apologize just make it and if people think it sucks they'll tell you.
