It's sad. The amount of work she put into crafting countless stage props from 2008 tours, to several sets of costumes, to album shoots, graphics and fun looking websites. Even unrelated small crafty stuff from Willow Tech House and perfumes/cosmetics. The music, ofc. And then… reselling Taobao tier shit. Selling fucking letters and numbers as NFTs. And then the last "creative" thing in her career was typing prompts into AI programs. Fuck this I'm bitter about how it all ends.

Re: blorbo from my research, here is my favorite ever case study. I'm obsessed with it.

Summary:

- Guy presents to neurology with muscle issues, very clearly has something going on but diagnostic tests are inconclusive

- History is mostly unremarkable. Key word, mostly. He drinks four liters of plain Earl Grey tea per day. For context this is nearly twice the recommended daily fluid intake. All fluids, to be clear, not just tea. He only drinks tea tho

- Bergamot is known to be phototoxic in high doses (reacts badly on your skin with sunlight)

- APPARENTLY nobody previously has consumed enough of it for it to be widely known that it is also, apparently, mildly toxic to ingest in high doses

- Guy starts drinking plain black tea again. Only 2 liters this time (he didn't have a medical reason to drink that much tea, he just liked it) and so now he's fully recovered
