i have too many favorites so these are just one of my top favs from each. truly i could probably list two dozen favorites for songs and albums lol and a few extras for the rest 🫣
film: humanist vampire seeking consenting suicidal person
book: fahrenheit 451 by ray bradbury
series: succession
album: am by arctic monkeys
song: balloon by crumb
film: Bones and All book: You’d Be Home Now by Cathleen Glasgow (or however u spell it) series: Skins UK/Friends album: You might be happy someday by the reds pinks and purples song: too many to pick from out of my 25,000 Spotify songs 😖
Film: Everything Everywhere All At Once
It will have me sobbing every single time. Book: The Stranger by Albert Camus
Sue me. I will bring up this book at every given chance, and, when chance is not given, I will make it happen. Series: Law and Order: SVU
A comfort show since I was in highschool. Album: Collide with the Sky - Pierce the Veil
I had to say this one considering I think I’ve listened to it more than any other album I’ve ever heard. Song: can’t be cool forever by medium build
This album almost went into the favourites category, but I’ll settle for my favourite song from this album here.
Here are the first ones to come to mind😄 film: Wild At Heart, Spice World, Good Burger book: Watchmen, Holes, Slaughterhouse Five series: The X-Files, Atlanta, Freaks & Geeks album: Rubberneck by Toadies, Colourmeinkindness by Basement, Infinity On High by Fall Out Boy song: The Becoming by Nine Inch Nails, B.O.B. by OutKast, Sometsault by Nothing
being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹
