calm down guys, it's only the 8th

in absolute tears about the pride module at my work

VIRGOMOON'S BLACK MUSIC COLLECTION: a series of playlists where i collect black artists from various genres to showcase the talent of my community; particularly that outside of typical genres you see us in.

black people created rock btw: my magnum opus. as the title suggests, here is rock music made by black people or bands that feature at least one black musician, particularly the lead singer and/or songwriter. classic rock, pop punk, hardcore, punk rock, goth, and more. this includes rap rock remixes and rock inspired rap tracks. songs range anywhere from the 60s to now.

a southern gothic tale: this playlist is just like the above, except featuring black artists who make primarily country music. there's bluegrass, folk, blues, and the like here. including covers and crossover songs. again, older music as well as newer tracks are featured here.

black alternative: black music that isn't just generic "pop", "rap", or "rnb". nothing wrong with those genres, of course, but obviously, we make all kinds of music and deserve to be recognized there too. here you'll find hyper-pop, bedroom pop, indie pop, dark pop; all those trendy sub - genres.

juicy fruit, certified bubble yum: bonus points if you know the song the title is from. anyway, here's bubblegum pop by black artists because for some reason black pop girls get labeled as "urban" and "rnb" when they're not? not necessarily? music from the 80s and on.

black girl punk!: punk and punk adjacent music from alternative black women in music. including fem presenting artists.

we've always been here: a new addition to the collection! this is every song from the various playlists collected into one major playlist. the only missing one is juicy fruit, as i wanted to showcase more unknown / underground artists and/or the songs from known artists that are a little more obscure because they're showcasing alternative genres than what we're used to from them. for example, don't hurt yourself from beyonce. a blues rock song from a known pop artist. still adding music to it as of april 2025.

Suicide is never a solution.

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

I don’t even know anymore...

As mentioned before, I DM a homebrew D&D campaign for some friends. This happened and I still haven’t gotten an explanation.

Me: “As you enter the garden, you’re faced with three massive sculptures depicting humanoid individuals. All are standing upright, with their weapons clasped between two hands and eyes shut. Tabaxi Cleric: I wanna lick the statues! Me: *sputters* you what

Tabaxi Cleric: I LICK THE STATUES! Human Bard: I’ll join her! Me: okay, but why? Tabaxi Cleric: what happens? I had to describe the taste of a statue to my stupid players...

AYOOO

You guys ever notice how hollywood is afraid of people who aren’t conventionally attractive?

I might be wrong about this because I don’t watch a lot of live-action movies or tv shows.

Like, in the “makeover movies” where they take an “ugly” girl and make her “pretty”, she’s just conventionally attractive but with messy hair and glasses?

Whenever they hire an actress or actor who isn’t conventionally attractive, they’re usually there to be the butt of a joke, or evil. I want to see more protagonists that aren’t conventionally attractive! In all genres! Give me a fantasy movie where the main character has large front teeth! Give me a sci-fi show where the protagonist has a lazy eye! Give me a rom-com where the main love interest has acne! I want to see traits that society doesn’t see as attractive being normalized!
