Shoutout to the two coworkers today who casually announced that they were voting for Trump, then asked me who I was voting for. I told them "I did early voting, and I voted for the candidate who isn't going to make it harder for me to exist as a trans person" and both of these women had to awkwardly try and assure me that it wasn't personal, and it's not like they hated Harris or anything, they actually do like some things about her, and they definitely don't hate me, of course not, it's just that, you know, well, it's like, well, you know, it's just, like, and no matter how many times they tried to pass the shovel off to me, I just let them hold onto it

how to silence the voices in your head: a SKZ music review

The living always seems to resurface, and here I am sharing my latest obsession: the loud, unapologetic music from Stray Kids.

These boys are the reason I’m falling deeper into K-pop, and I’m here to tell you why. So, grab your headphones (and maybe a guitar), and let me show you why Stray Kids are easily one of the most sensational gen 4 K-pop groups.

First off, a little disclaimer: I come from a massive pop-punk background—cue my love for 5SOS and Fall Out Boy—but I started diving into K-pop recently with the release of Jungkook’s album "Golden" (shoutout to Jack Harlow and Latto for their incredible features).

But how did SKZ end up as my ultimate favorite?

At first, I wasn’t really into their music, it felt too noisy. But over time, it grew on me. As someone who loves running and cardio, their high-energy tracks are the perfect workout fuel, and now, I’m hooked. What makes their music stand out is how creative and unique it is, for example, "Back Door" uses actual knocking sounds, while "Domino" incorporates the domino effect into the instrumental. Those little details give their songs such a magical touch. Stray Kids fully embrace their “loud and noisy” identity, and their album NOEASY (NOISY) proves that this is the path they’re owning.

Their music videos? Insane. The anime-inspired, futuristic visuals are chaotic yet mesmerizing—a total sensory overload in the best way. For a “newer” K-pop group (they had their debut back in 2018), their genre-switching is impressive, but I have to say their rap-heavy tracks (We Go and Chk Chk Boom) and EDM anthems (MIROH and Road Not Taken) are my personal faves. Their producer/rapper unit, 3RACHA, is insanely talented, and it’s refreshing to see them write and produce their own music.

Special shoutout to my aussie boy Felix! His deep voice is otherworldly, and it adds so much texture and emotion to every song, it literally reverberates through my whole body every time i hear it.

If I had to pick a favorite song, it’d be "Drive" from their album SKZ-REPLAY. This album brings together all their b-sides in one place, and the lyricism is top-tier. Their rap lines are so well-constructed, and the lyrics that hit me the hardest come from the Maxident album, with the song "3RACHA":

"They always say the same excuses, while they're complaining, we're producing."

I deeply relate to this because I believe in hard work and shaping our own futures, (also, what a diss track my boys were COOKIN). I’m so grateful for the energy and creativity Stray Kids bring to the music industry, and I can’t wait to see what they do next.

PS: Don’t forget to stream their new album GIANT. It’s packed with major pop-punk vibes and some incredible Christmas tracks. Stay safe, and see you next time! <3

I have an interview tomorrow for a management position at the company I work at and I'm lowkey stressed af.

I haven't had to do an interview in 2 years. So I am very rusty. I'm also really worried I'm going to trip over my words or have a mind blank, my brain has been struggling lately - I think it's cause it's nearly time for my next treatment so my meds are wearing off.

I'm also still not actually overly sure I WANT the manager position tbh... I just know I don't want to not get it? If that makes sense? Like definitely offer me the role but I can't promise I'll want to accept 💁🏾
