I’ve done an inexplicable thing.

Squirrel on Fire

This is a really well written piece and is worth your time

Wemby: “I refuse to carry the burden of having to hide my emotions.” This is amazing.

this is one of the best memes of all time

you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of
