my two most important young adult coming of age albums. lately i’ve been revisiting some of my older faves in their entirety and these two definitely solidified themselves amongst my top favorite albums. (i think i’ve also been into immunity in excitement for charm)

aside from being one of my favorite albums of all time, this is also one of my favorite album covers of all time. it makes me feel warm and encompassed with love when i look at it. indigo’s mother painted this cover along with the covers of her two subsequent albums as well, but this is the one that has the most special place in my heart…there is something so cozy and earthy about it.

A good friend showed me this album in fall of 2019 and my life has never been the same since

for the longest time i’d been avoiding the music my parents like bc they’re my parents they can’t be Cool or Tasteful so i had avoided fiona apple, the smiths, the cure, descendents, the cranberries, many other 80s 90s indie favs & more. & im finally realizing that hey my parents are real people too & it brings a whole nother level of appreciation for them and for music and for Life

started writing this a few hours ago when i first saw this ask, then decided against posting but i've since changed my mind. there really is no justification for it outside of entitlement. even from a selfish lens, there's no long term benefit to its usage. it harms the world and culture in more ways than one.
a.) the water and energy usage that isn't a secret at this point. "no ethical consumption under capitalism" yadda yadda and yeah corporations are extremely culpable in the state of the environment but there really is no need for chatgpt and the planet is already too delicate at the moment.
b.) the exploitation of workers in the global south. this program is not just a computer figuring it all out, there are in fact humans behind it. it reminds me of the acceptance of fast fashion and how people have the tendency to divorce the idea of the garment worker from the garment they wear when all clothing is handmade in some way, shape or form. you need hands to man a sewing machine, you need human eyes to moderate content. also, content moderation can be a thankless job with psychological repercussions.
c.) the erosion of social skills, humanity and media literacy...this one is very personal. like, you have a cushy email job but can't write an email? you need a computer and a worker in kenya to get paid a dollar an hour to figure out a daily routine for you? i've seen the program churn out blatantly incorrect information. fine tuning a prompt or chat or whatever to give you the exact (possibly incorrect) answer you need isn't really that much less work than sharpening your research skills by cracking open a dictionary or using boolean search keys in google. again, the main issue with this kind of stuff is the entitlement to convenience, with no thought towards the repercussions within and outside of us. we are losing major recipes (critical thinking and media literacy) here, people!
i probably did an iffy job are coherently articulating my thoughts here but i am in fact, human. and that’s the beauty of it all.
