I made a playlist with songs that made me so excited for life as a child and it has been revolutionary for my mental state… I named mine Pink Sparkly Boots because that’s exactly what mother came home with one day and I was such a diva in them ✨ Glamorous by Fergie is the most played song on that playlist because it very much did alter my brain chemistry. Highly recommend doing this

Inside everyone there are playlists waiting to escape…Collecting songs that connect to a vibe or feeling near to your heart is so fun. I’ve made some pretty good ones over the years including the very successful 90s romcom spring nyc (for when you want to pretend you’re in somewhere between a Nora Ephron movie and 13 Going on 30), summer camp (for 70s-90s running around barefoot by a lake vibes), limited too store playlist (for the girlies, obviously), and country bops (my favorite country songs from growing up in Texas). Express yourself with some sonic fusion!!

This is my love language.
I’ve loved It since the days of making mix CDs, so I typically keep them to 18-20 songs. Somewhere around an hour. Playlists can be infinite now, but adding self-imposed limitations forces you to make choices and be intentional. It makes for better playlists.
Sometimes I make playlists for people based around a theme (like Fall) but other times it’s a random word or word phrase like “retro futurism.” The goal is always to find those gems that people will hear for the first time and go, “Oh man, I love that song.”

when I’m bored at work, one of the new hobbies I’ve picked up again is playlist curation. I remembered just how fun it is to start making a playlist for every type of mood possible. Even the ones that i feel like only i can feel useful. It is alwaysss the right move.
I have a playlist for roadtrips, one that I would play if I was hiding from a serial killer in a horror film, one for when I want to feel like I’m a loading screen of a video game, ones for all kinds of get togethers (nostalgic crowdpleasers, dancing until you puke, etc.), ones for when I’m needing to pretend the sun is shining outside… you get it!
Best part is, you still look like you are busy on the computer..hehe.

"Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change our Minds, Shape Our Futures" by Merlin Sheldrake, and "The Secret Life of Fungi" by Aliya Whiteley. I need to share these books. Zombie Fungus? Mind blowing. You're also telling me the intelligence of slime mould was used to optimise transportation networks, specifically the greater Tokyo area's railway system? Unreal. Nature goes crazy
