important music poll
The teenager has "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "American Pie" on a playlist and of course we both sing along whenever they come on, which always (1) gives me a delightful moment of cross-generational connection and (2) makes me wonder how widespread it is that people know these very long wordy and weird songs. Especially since I did not indoctrinate the kids with either song, unless you count playing the Muppets version of "Bohemian Rhapsody" when they were toddlers.
If you'd like to sing along now, or if you're one of today's lucky ten thousand who doesn't know one or both songs, see behind the read-more.
And please do reblog for a wider response!

cant tell you how bad it feels to constantly tell other artists to come to tumblr, because its the last good website that isn't fucked up by spoonfeeding algorithms and AI bullshit and isn't based around meaningless likes
just to watch that all fall apart in the last year or so and especially the last two weeks
there's nowhere good to go anymore for artists.
edit - a lot of people are saying the tags are important so actually, you'll look at my tags.
#please dont delete your accounts because of the AI crap. your art deserves more than being lost like that #if you have a good PC please glaze or nightshade it. if you dont or it doesnt work with your style (like mine) please start watermarking #use a plain-ish font. make it your username. if people can't google what your watermark says and find ur account its not a good watermark #it needs to be central in the image - NOT on the canvas edges - and put it in multiple places if you are compelled #please dont stop posting your art because of this shit. we just have to hope regulations will come slamming down on these shitheads#in the next year or two and you want to have accounts to come back to. the world Needs real art #if we all leave that just makes more room for these scam artists to fill in with their soulless recycled garbage #improvise adapt overcome. it sucks but it is what it is for the moment. safeguard yourself as best you can without making #years of art from thousands of artists lost media. the digital world and art is too temporary to hastily click a Delete button out of spite
