i’ve seen her and her band 4 times over the years…i make an effort to see her anytime she’s in nyc bc it’s such a beautiful experience.
she’s got such a good stage presence and vocals, her band is immensely talented, and they all always have great chemistry. the shows honestly feel very therapeutic to me (all shows do but this is something special). she also picks some really cool openers and i’ve discovered a lot of good music that way. she’s left the crowd in awe on multiple occasions. hoping to see her again someday soon bc i know it won’t disappoint.

I could go on forever…but there is truly nobody like her!! I’ve been a fan of hers since I discovered Be the Cowboy! She puts so much thought and care into everything, from lyrics to composition to performance. Every album has the ‘Mitski’ vibe, but is also able to encapsulate a whole different atmosphere between each! She’s able to encapsulate the most indescribable feelings in such a poetic way and deserves all the recognition in the world! She’s just so so so talented. Saw her the other night and was just in awe :’)
Defo put on some headphones, close your eyes and just listen <3

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.
