4 morant (Better luck next time) - doja cat

If you only know Doja Cat from her hit singles, viral TikTok sounds, and trollish online antics, you might be surprised to learn that she had a deep career on Soundcloud long before she would first boldly declare "bitch, I'm a cow". As a teenager, Doja would scour YouTube for songs to turn into beats and vocalize over. One such song was Com Truise's Brokendate, which forms the foundation of 4 morant (better luck next time), uploaded to Soundcloud in 2012 when Doja was only 16 or 17 years old. She eventually took down the song, and generally refuses to acknowledge it (likely due to the very personal lyrics), but it recently had an official release under Com Truise (to whom she did not give credit in her initial upload). As for why I recommend it: this song is just perfect for those late nights when you're in that dissonant state of hurting deeply while being too apathetic to acknowledge or do anything about it. You feel stuck and a bit impulsive and very alone. Damn, no one gets it. Then in a sudden moment of clarity, emotion comes spilling over you. I cry from my eyes to my feet, stairs to the street to the gutters to the seas. You sit in that feeling for a while, but then it washes away, and you're left in your habitual resignation. Sigh... better luck next time. Better luck next time.

being a little late on cultural 'things'

Social media can encourage us to constantly seek out the novel and makes us feel like we're missing out if we don't. It's much better for peace of mind, in my opinion, if we let go of the immediate, and use impermanence as our filter for information. We don't all need to watch the latest streaming show, or hear the latest album. What needs to find us, and what we need to find, usually finds a way

microdosing activism

In a world where monopolization is allowed, sometimes you can only drop Trader Joe's for union busting, while keeping your Amazon account. Real, wide change in this world might require a new 2020, but we can do a little bit better a little at a time
