if anyone needs help with audition songs I've found I'm pretty good at picking those.

Do you have any suggestions for me? I'm inbetween alto and soprano but I can't sing super low. My current song is 'Shy' from Once Upon A Mattress, and I'm auditioning for Little Red Riding Hood and Jack's Mother for Into The Woods Jr.

my corkboard of pictures that I had hanging on my wall fell off in the middle of the night and one of the command strips I was using to hang it ripped a good chunk of paint off of the wall and now im just sitting here hoping I wont have to pay for it because I used the recommended materials (command strips) and the board falling off of the wall is in no way MY FAULT and im kinda stressed because I havent been able to focus on writing my essays because ive been stressing over the literal hole in the wall.

Oof that sucks. Was everything okay?? My corkboard of pins fell and knocked over my fish tank a few nights ago.

Is that how your fish died? I hope not…

No, she was fine then. My parents heard me start screaming (because it was 1:30 am and the tank was knocked over and my desk was drenched) and came down and my dad scooped her into a cup of water I had. She died naturally I think, but we also put some new stuff in her tank so that might have killed her.

It's okay. I'm getting a new fish tonight and I didn't expect her to make it this long anyways so it wasn't super duper sad. She was from my science teacher after we did a lab in class with fish and photosynthesis.

Okay so I was listening to Sweeney Todd cause it's got the same sound and composer as Into the Woods. Idk whats to high for you so I have a few suggestions from this show. I'm thinking maybe Green Finch and Linnet Bird but that was pretty high. Also Wait. Or there's Merrily We Roll Along which is also by the same composer. Like it Was is pretty good from that show. Something by the same composer is usually a good bet. If these don't work and you want other options, just ask!

Thanks!! I don't think my voice teacher has those, so I'll stick to Shy for now, but thanks for the suggestions!

I really wanted to do Something Rotten/Make An Omlette but she doesn't know that one

Oof that sucks. I was reading the A Court Of Thorns and Roses series and while I don't really like nor dislike the books, the author CONSTANTLY uses 'male' and 'female' to describe characters and even stuff like "It was a male thing to say" or "I needed some females to liven this place up" and shit like that. It was so annoying!!

Not to mention that all of the LGBTQA+ characters are unnamed side characters besides two: a bi guy who literally sleeps with everyone and always has threesomes (he's introduced like this) and a lesbian who forces herself to sleep with guys and is kept in the closet because she's afraid of hurting this guy who has a crush on her's feelings.

is cisnormative a word????
you know what screw it, im using it as a word.

working on my psychology midterm that's due tomorrow and realising just how FREAKING HETERONORMATIVE and CISNORMATIVE and AMANANORMATIVE psychology is and im
getting real frustrated when they list things like "achieving a masculine or feminine role" as one of the key tasks in younger teenage/ midle school age development and talking about those who dont fully achieve or accept their given role as developmentally behind like lol im definately not totally traditionally feminine and I am just fine and I just
JUST LIKE WHAT THE HECK THIS IS SO SO FREAKING DUMB!!!!!!!!???????

Yup. I’m in psych too, and I’ve noticed some of the same stuff in our text. Luckily our professor is a bit more progressive and doesn’t always follow the textbook (especially not Freud’s stuff…). But asexuality is nonexistent in psych as I know it, and I see so much online discourse that’s like, “If you don’t want to have sex, you’re lying or there’s something wrong with you.” And it’s just… ugh…

When I see that I'm like "Buddy I know I'm a mess but my asexuality has nothing to do with that!"

Hmmm… that’s not good…
I’m thankful I have the professor I do.

it's a hate group against autism. I only found out what it really was a few years ago, but basically it's a group who believe autism is a disease and they market themselves as the good guys when in reality they do some awful things to try and "cure" people's autism

Oof. I say 'fuck them' and y'all know I don't swear much.

I learned about it from an old friend, but it's pretty bad. their work is some conversion therapy level misguided bullshit, and I get triggered just seeing their logo

………………..would you like to help me commit some murders??
I kid. I don't want to dirty my hands with blood that foul.

pfft please I'm always down for murder

but honestly the amount of illogical intolerance in the world baffles me at this point. I don't understand how you could hate someone enough to try and "cure" their existence, and it makes me angry that this is something still allowed

Agreed. Let's kill some assholes!!!
