i found this book in my cupboard, forgot where i got it from. is it any good? i know tom holland has said some cringe stuff on his "the rest is history" podcast but i've never read one of his books
pop/r&b album that just released today, it goes hard
Therm made this as fan music for Minecraft and tbh it's the best fan music for the game that I've ever heard. He really captured the C418 vibe with some of these songs, but a couple of them remind me more of the newer Minecraft OSTs

yay!! tbh i feel like i squandered all the opportunities i was given when i was a teenager to connect with my heritage more, and now its a lot harder to do it. like i had the opportunity to learn gujarati but i mostly messed around in class and now i regret it
::: spoiler also i think hinduism is less of a monolith which makes it harder to be vocal about it, i suppose. and when they are vocal, it's in india and very related to islamophobia. at least in the uk where i live, hindus are either indifferent about preaching about their religion, but when they are super religious, they channel that preachy energy towards islamophobia :::

today is the final day of navratri!! every year i go to the mandir to do garba but this year i was sick and now i have work so i haven't been able to go, but i get to go today. im so excited
when i think about my indian-ness or hindu-ness, this is the only festival i really think of since its the only one i actively participate in where i feel like i belong. also its still hard trying to describe what garba is to white people lol

i read the guardian article comparing palestinian children being murdered by the idf to blood libel and i think this is the most disgusting guardian article I've ever read.
when you think they can't sink any lower, jesus fucking christ

My favourite album of this year so far (and by a mile) is Imaginal Disk by Magdalena Bay, but I also want to mention MINISERIES 2 by SUMIN and Slom because I think it's super underrated!! It's R&B, Soul, and K-Pop. There's also Prece by Luiza Brina which is a pretty good folk album
My favourite song of the year is probably Cry for Me by Magdalena Bay, one of the best pop songs this year imo

what she's saying is that half species can't have children because they're species and not races, but i guess she just got stuck on semantics. honestly i didn't really get her argument at all.
but yeah i completely agree, and one positive change they did make is completely reworking the lore for orcs so that their god isn't evil anymore and they aren't stupid brutes. as for species, someone else mentioned ancestries, and they also could have used lineages, and i think both would be less confusing than race
i'd love to hear more about your setting though, it sounds cool

their last album, mercurial world, is one of my favourite albums ever. tbh this new one is even better its synthpop, super dreamy, and also neo-psychedelic, im not good at genres but if anyone likes that then check this one out!! the production is really good too and mica has the perfect voice for this kind of music
today i learned historia civilis is based af i've been pleasantly surprised
