Trying to pick your favorite album for a year can be hard, but sentiment by claire rousay is one that cut deep. When I first found this record, I played it again and again. Just thinking about this record motivated me to put it on again.
Favorite tracks:
- lover’s spit plays in the background
- asking for it

sentiment by Claire Rousay album is a dreamy, yet haunting exploration of depression. The first track of the album ‘4pm‘ hot me hard. If you’re inclined towards getting depressed that feeling of bed rotting and failing to see the point of taking your next breath is quite painful to hear but I’m glad someone has said the quiet part allowed. Enjoyed guest vocals from Hand Habit as well. This album is melancholic without sounding self pitying. I enjoyed the hum and atmosphere Rousay has created. Can’t wait to se ever live in a few weeks in London. 8/10

These two albums are always there for me when I’m feeling down.
I know Sling gets quite a bit of hate, but I find it to have some of the best lyrics ever written. It’s the first album to ever make me cry! This album made me fall in love with Claire’s music. It has continued to be the album I go to when I am experiencing difficult things.
Static & Silence (along with the other two records by the Sundays) have stuck with me in ways I did not expect. I first heard their music during the pandemic and since then, they have been the backdrop for my life up until this point. I could talk about them All Day!!

Here are three! Wildly different vibes here, sorry for the whiplash
Hospital Bracelet is Midwest emo, kinda angry, less romantic yearning. More like yearning for better things.
wished bone is ethereal. I had super intense fever dreams to this album one time. pollinate me and spring time lover still have the power to stop me dead in my tracks.
Medium Build just gets it. I listened to this album for the first time on a road trip to see the eclipse this last year and my partner was asleep in my lap. It made me tear up. Love love love

I haven’t been on Twitter for years and hardly touch FB, but I had been an active user on Instagram since 2012. I really like taking and sharing photos, and that had always been a fun place to do it.
No more.
With the changes the content moderation changes they’re making, leaving LGBTQ+ folks vulnerable to be targeted; their rolling back of DEI programs; their willing participation in far-right rhetoric and politics; it’s all too much and I’m out.
As if Meta’s platform hadn’t already been increasingly enshittified, this was the final straw to announce how much worse it will get.
And you know what? It feels freeing. Better to leave it behind and find new platforms to connect with people.

The guy got my attention with, “Hey, I like your shoes.” Just like that, he had me. We talked about where I bought the shoes and how I used to work in the shoe industry. He used to work in the beer industry but had recently become independently wealthy because of an investment opportunity he started with a few of his friends.
”You get to be your own boss,” he told me. Your boot could be on your own neck. We’re back to the topic of shoes.
He told me it’s a small investment to get started but things are really taking off and I could get in on the ground floor. I could quit my job. Work for myself. Had I ever considered doing something like that?
“No,” I said with a shrug. I walked away with my jar of peanut butter. I can’t remember if it was creamy or crunchy. Probably crunchy.
Nice guy!
