2023 Album a Day Masterpost

I'm going to try and listen to a new (to me) album every day (or at least every weekday), so consider this an open invitation to send me suggestions. Any genre, new or old.

Albums listened to below the cut

Part 2, because apparently tumblr has a limit to how many links you can have in a post. Albums under the cut

Rb if you want all the hcs people have about you in your inbox

THE SOPRANOS Season 1 | Episode 12 - "Isabella"

bonus:

I’ve never seen this with the update and it makes it so much funnier

sometimes someone will have the exact same opinion as you but you'll still want to disagree with them because you don't like their tone.

I just saw a post implying that Tumblr is doing scab work by promoting OnePiece during the strike because ~Tumblr accepted money to make this promotion and that's against SAG-AFTRA rules~

the strike prohibits union writers and actors--and writers and actors who may someday like to join the union--from engaging in and promoting their work in movies, television, and streaming (they can actually still do stage, commercials, and even soap operas, because those are different unions)

Tumblr is not part of or planning to be part of the writer or actor unions

what Tumblr is doing is just regular advertising

if regular advertising were against the strike, then there would not have been any promotion at all allowed for any movie over the last two months

I mean, yes, I completely understand being irritated with how this One Piece promotion is going

but Tumblr isn't breaking the rules of a union, which it's not now and never will be part of, by running annoying ads

Just saw a different post where that same person added that same take again, and this time I saw that the notes were full of people very firmly correcting them

but then I saw someone saying, more or less, "Yeah, they're not crossing the picket line, but they are violating the fact that you must disclose when you're doing paid advertising!"

and, once again, that's not how that works, either--the rules about stating when you're doing a promotion for which you were compensated applies to individuals, especially in social media posts that may otherwise give the appearance of someone just casually chatting with their besties about something new they tried

Tumblr is basically a corporate media entity running commercials and billboards

which by their very nature are known to have been paid for

You don't watch the SuperBowl then report the NFL to the FTC for not having a disclaimer on every commercial and stadium-side sign about being a paid promotion.

Like, yes, I absolutely get being irritated by this particular advertising campaign. But that doesn't mean there's something morally reprehensible at the core of it. It's just annoying. You don't need any deeper reason to dislike it.

God damn people really do keep looking for "virtuous" reasons to dislike things

How about it's fucking annoying

The only good thing staff added recently

Mutuals we are doing this

hope I’m not only weird and annoying to you guys but also a friend

im curious to hear how ppl view these colors, so can u tell me which color u think they look more like?  yellow or green? blue or purple? yellow or orange? pink or purple? blue or green?

I'm going to take the phrase "cross the picket line" away from tumblr until everyone actually starts reading strike demands and listening to union leadership and strike captains.

Random bloggers declaring things "crossing the picket line" means nothing. Read the actual goddamn strike information from the actual goddamn strikers. Stop calling for your own boycotts, stop trying to decide what is and isn't scabbing based on your own opinions, stop making judgment calls disconnected from the actual demands of the actually-striking workers.

Y'all have got to start reading the unions' official documents before arbitrarily deciding what is or isn't "proper solidarity" based entirely on your own feelings. Stop muddying the waters just because it makes you feel more involved.

spotify users!!! tell me the fourth song in your second daily mix playlist... mine is bbyong by saturday hehehe

not to call all young people snowflakes or anything but i do think a lot of people are soooo averse to anything that makes them uncomfortable (and tend to conflate things that make them uncomfortable with being problematic) and that’s why we have all this dumb sex scene discourse and grown adults who only watch kids stuff and nostalgia-bait and why hollywood is refusing to release anything interesting (because if it makes people uncomfy they won’t make $$$). and it’s so sad like sometimes a piece of art does make you sick to your stomach or make you jump out of your skin or make you weep or turn you on. and that’s a beautiful wonderful thing!!! that’s what art is for!! to let you access all sorts of crazy emotions you can’t access in boring everyday life!!! that’s what makes you feel human!!

I see some mutuals here and all i can think is “we could be friends. we’d sit at a bar and we’d talk and laugh and cry and we wouldn’t leave until they kicked us out” but you’re on the other side of the world. and i dont even know your name

So I was made to feel old today...

Two decades today
