My new years goal is to stay masked even when everyone I'm around isn't (aka in class and with patients) because I am beyond over getting sick. And considering one of my colleagues came to class while testing positive and actively symptomatic for COVID, I can't trust them to take anyone's health seriously. I'm not letting these bastards kill me out of spite.

Sorry to hear about the autoimmune diagnosis. I can believe it but it still sucks. I hope you get some fun stuff to knock off your bucket list! Stay as safe and healthy as possible out there.

As a disabled gal who has been masking consistently since 2020 now, THANK YOU for giving a shit about the community spread. I've gotten ugly looks from time to time and been a lone masker nearly everywhere I go, but I have only been sick once since 2020 and that was when I got Covid at work (a positive case from a colleague who said it was "allergies" spread in a cramped conference room where I was the only masked person there). I've given solidarity nods to any masker since 2022. 😅

I too am living out of spite. I'm lucky to still have a job, but I transferred from my old office when they said my reasonable accommodations would make pre-disableds feel "uncomfortable". They suffered for 6 months after I left and half the team bailed when they couldn't carry the weight I left behind. Fuck 'em!

Autoimmune disease is a damn joke, but I am thankful to have a couple friends and partners who have stayed and who care. All the ones who said I was overreacting about the dangers are now constantly coughing, can't weather allergy shifts, can't do the work they used to, can't remember shit, can't stay awake, etc. Like many people who were disabled pre-covid, I've stopped trying to help them. They can figure it out and make peace with their dealt hand as I have had to.

I'm sorry to hear you've been sick and that your colleagues lost their will to care. What's been harrowing for me is, every fictional portrayal of mass disease like this had a better response from governments and citizens than we've had. I honestly thought we'd get something like The Division, can you believe that? LMAO I replayed it over the holidays to cheer myself up! 🤣

In 2015, my dear friend Skyler Johnson introduced me to his "15 for 2015" playlist, which featured 15 songs released in 2015 that he liked. Skyler has always been my most disciplined friend when it came to tracking the things he liked. (Later, he would get a job at Spotify, where I believe he is still employed. I now blame every change to Spotify Wrapped on him, jokingly.) I took the concept and made my own "15 for 2015" playlist, and have been doing them ever since.

Last year's 21 FOR 2021 was subtitled "IT'S BEEN A LONG YEAR / HOW DID WE GET HERE?" which was a line from Audrey Nuna's mournful pandemic theme, "Long Year." 21 FOR 2021 also had Fred again…'s "Marea (we've lost dancing)", another thoughtful send-up of all the things the pandemic had changed for us during 2020/2021. 22 FOR 2022 is less obsessed with the pandemic and loss, even if it is subtitled "SONGS FOR WEIRD GOODBYES." In a way, is a song for a weird goodbye not also a song for a weird beginning? There are many artists here that I discovered for the first time this year: haer (my sad girl queen), Dry Cleaning (another in the line of wry female voices talk-singing drily over slow rock noodling), Gigi Cheung (cold city chick Cantopop, incidentally I love the late late night vibes of the music video for "Panda"), grandma (the only artist in this playlist who would and in fact did write the line, "when I was mourning my innocence you said 'LMAO'"). While this year may be the last I feature a song with MATTON's vocals (he was the lead vocalist for both Paellas, who showed up in 19 FOR 2019 and then disbanded shortly thereafter, and Pearl Center, who unfortunately also disbanded this year), it's also been rewarding to see artists I've loved for years (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The National, Beach House) still making new music that I'm into. In some cases, like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, they not only sound as good as I remember but more like themselves, like a whisky that's been aged to perfection.

An unexpected member of this group is Shamir. In 2014, right after I graduated law school and started working, Shamir came out with "On the Regular" which got regular play at a club that Skyler and I would frequent. While it owed a lot obviously to Azealia Banks' "212"(RIP), listening to it in 2022 feels like you're hearing the bones of what would eventually become hyperpop. "Stability" doesn't have that sort of futuristic vision, but it has a dark molasses richness to its vocals, Shamir's voice stretching out the vowels until they sound unfamiliar as he sings, "I know that life came fast at you / and you weren't ready yet."

Like many of my year end playlists, 22 FOR 2022 is more a memory box than a "best of the year" list. So while I genuinely love Djo's "End of Beginning," I have to admit I added it because 2022 was the year I left Chicago (again) and I couldn't resist a song whose chorus actually talks about bidding farewell to Chicago, in body if not in spirit. Same with Joji's "YUKON (INTERLUDE)." A low-key, sparse song that suddenly introduces Joji's own panting breath as a ghost over a kick drum, it's meditative and anxious the way my favorite Joji tracks are, a perfect slice of being stuck in someone else's head without any plea for you to understand him or help him. But I'd be lying if I told you I picked it for any reason other than the line, "Circles at the Chevron / I can't be forever young." In past years, I've added songs just for their adjacency to esports. This year I had the opportunity to hear Interpol play live in the most unexpected circumstance. They played "Mr. Credit" (my favorite track off their new album), but the high point was getting, finally, to hear "Slow Hands" live.

You could write a long, long time about 22 songs, so I won't talk about every one. I'll mention, however, the two and a half places where I cheated, because Tim Rogers once said that when you are writing something you should give yourself three wishes, or three times you can deviate from the script. Well, I'm NOT Tim Rogers (she says, in a Tim Rogers-esque voice), but I WILL give myself the occasional cheat. "Long Road Home" was originally written and released in 2020 by Oneohtrix Point Never. While Caroline Polachek's vocals are technically on that track, this version with just her voice is somehow a completely different song. The original feels insistent, the libido of a computer given a Greek chorus voice, while Polachek's solo version is balletic, like a cold wind turned into a single piercing high note. "Just to be Needed" was released last year, but on December 16, long after I had already made my 21 FOR 2021 list. I did love "Neon Memories" and "Light Left the Garden" from this year, but there is a catharsis in "Just to be Needed" that felt right for this year, especially on the tail end of "This is a Life," the big cinematic theme song to "Everything Everywhere All at Once." And Dremedreman's "Ngadan" was released in March 2021, but I didn't discover it or this collection of Taiwanese indigenous artists until this year. I loved both the song and music video for "Ngadan" so much that I pushed it on everyone in every platform I could, which means, of course, this one as well.

I'm settling into 2023 and feeling super positive (maybe with a tad of that New Year's Day manic energy 🎉🎉🎉 ) so I just want to say something about my silly little blog.

Personal sappiness under the cut - you don't have to read bc I'll probs over-share at some point.

2022 was a weird year for me. It was an emotional rollercoaster and I spent most of it pretty damn sad. It really felt like an extension of '20 and '21 where I was navigating complicated family stuff as well as problems that arose from the pandemic (and seemingly settled in to stay). I finally finished uni in the beginning months of 2022, which was a huge accomplishment. But I also felt like it sort of just fizzled out because I developed an attitude of, 'i need to get this over with' rather than working hard and enjoying it.

This little blog has given me a much-needed reprieve from the real stuff since I started it between volumes 1 and 2 of Stranger Things. And I've loved every second of it. I love everyone's headcanons, ficlets, mind-bogglingly creative AUs and stories. I've read excellent fanfiction and seen beautiful fanart. You guys make me laugh and tear up and beam at my phone like an absolute dork.

To my followers and mutuals, even though I'm terrible at initiating conversation, I love youuuuu 💜💜💜 Regular rebloggers and likers, I see you and I read everyone's tags on my stuff. And comments about my writing just fill my heart with joy. I honestly can't believe that in consuming fandom for half my life at this point (ew, am I old???), a himbo babysitter and his metalhead boyfriend and THAT goddamn vest got me writing headcanons, then little ficlets, then longer stuff to the point where I actually made an ao3 account (which I haven't posted to... yet lmao). It's been fun having a creative outlet here while irl I haven't done much since finishing up uni because I've had to prioritise everything other than myself (kinda out of necessity but also letting it all get too consuming).

Anyway, I'll stop now. Here's to 2023 and being more feral on this hellsite than we've ever before 💖💖💖 I'm not tiring of Steddie anytime soon 😊

#leaving this sappiness pinned for a couple of days ❤❤❤#promise i'll interact more #love that my social anxiety extends to the wonderful humans on my phone :/#THE vest #started it all tbh #lily talks

It has been brought bck into my mind that Brit (Emily, Samurai) said a few years ago that she thinks of Emily as Bisexual

Her reason was that she knew the show wanted to have the Mike and Emily set up as the main relationship in the show but she felt as though some of the things Mia and Emily did could be seen as date things and Brit and Erika still talk a lot so they made a joke about their characters and one of these include

'I think Emily and Mike just liked eachother because they were always together but Mia and Emily were always together too- so why don't we just say they date later on after Emily and Mike break up'

They kept that joke and soon got Hector involved which he was fine with because he also said

'Just to be clear the breakup was a mutual thing I dont want anyone not believing in love again'

And lets be real you cant convince me that half of Samurai rangers are in the community

So we all (on the live stream) were like alr sure 👍

Also turns out Erika, Brit, Hector and Najee (and i think Steven i cant remember) they'd be up for doing a Samurai reunion thing like a podcast or smth as a little life update with the team

Dont quote me on that part I just remember hearing it on Hectors live with Najee and forgot to say anything lmao

My #1 post of 2022

So my spanish teacher is being a bitch so I'm not doing anything she says-

So what better time to write another sickfic bc I have way too much time to do it today-

So obviously it's Javelia but I'm tempted to try one when Javi isn't well and not Amelia- bc I did Amelia already

But the thing is I suck at writing anything other than fainting but I obviously can't do the same kinda plot line over and over sooo yeah we're gonna try to do a Javi one but i literally don't know
