Something about when it starts getting really hot makes me wanna listen to very specific types of music: MPB, JĆ¹jĆŗ, Highlife, Yacht Rockā¦ but my go-to late Spring/early-Summer music vibe has been ā90s/early ā00s twee pop, specifically Tiger Trap, Gaze, Cub and Brittle Stars. None of these bands are new to me, but Iāve been revisiting their music a lot lately. Thereās a rudimentary innocence to all of their music that really inspires and comforts me. Plus some of it just feels really punk to me ā namely Tiger Trap. I love Tiger Trapās one-and-only album from 1993, Gazeās Shake the Pounce, Cubās Betti Cola, and literally anything by Brittle Stars.

So we all think itās sketchy that Tik Tok is already back right? And that they posted a statement kissing Trumpās ass and making him out to be the one saving Tik Tok when he isnāt even sworn in yet? And now Trump wants the US government to have a 50% ownership, aka turning Tik Tok into state owned media just like I thought was happening. And Iām sure most people wonāt be able to stay away from Tik Tok and Meta which is so disappointing. I want nothing to do with Tik Tok now because I know the app as we knew it is already gone at this point.

Thereās something about the quality of digital camera photos that make a picture of anything you take look more pleasing (to me anyway). The nostalgia, the saturation, I love them. I have a couple cameras that still work from when I was a kid, but I also bought one on eBay that was similar to one that used to be a favorite of mine. I just throw it in my purse and take it everywhere, and itās so much more fun than trying to get the āperfect shot,ā especially now that Iāve deleted Meta and gone with Pixelfed it seems that people love posting anything from the little things they see or their drinks. Itās making photo sharing fun again! Although, if you do download Pixelfed (which isnāt the point of this post but) I highly recommend using it in your browser on your phone for now, theyāve already made things run smoother from when I first downloaded but theyāre definitely still working on the app.

So many people are so scared to do things on their own, but it can be so fun and liberating! Iām my own favorite travel partner. You can try fun places without worrying about what someone else is in the mood for, meet so many people, people watch, read, visit museums Or other stops and take all the time you want, etc. I think a lot of people care too much about what others think when theyāre seen doing something or dining alone, but in the grand scheme of things it doesnāt matter. Starting out, go to a restaurant that has a bar and sit at the bar, you can enjoy your food and maybe a drink, if you get anxious about people talking to you or arenāt having fun people watching, take up watching the sports on the tv to look occupied! Or maybe your solo outing could first be taking yourself on a museum date and getting to spend as much time as you want in each exhibit.
