I made this because I wanted to remember the full body experience of sweet, uncertain, likely doomed adolescent infatuation. Best listened to while wistfully looking out a window at the rain or while laying on the floor next to someone you’ve been wanting to kiss for years.

"I like you," he told me on a starry night in Mexico. "And I think we'd be great together. Until we go home."
I went back to my hotel room, too overwhelmed by the idea that a man would be interested in me, even if just for two weeks. I took my phone out on the balcony and listened to Affair with the Moon by Lidia Solomon on repeat.
The whole thing between him and me ended in disaster, but for a brief moment, anything seemed possible, like the beginning of a fairytale. Whenever I'm feeling overwhelmed at night, by big thoughts and bigger feelings, I open my window and listen to Affair with the Moon. And for a brief, melancholic moment, anything will seem possible again.

Not even a hot take but there is no album that just fucks!!!! as good as depression cherry, it truly just feels like being in love with the world because someone you love lives and breathes in the same timeline as you. it feels like an un-ending supercut of memories playing in a tv deep in your brain. sometimes i think about the red thread of fate with the people you're destined to meet, where no matter how many years have gone by the thread will still connect you two. some nights i listen to this album and i get a visual of how sturdy and thick the thread is from my side, and wonder if its the same from theirs.

I’m sick of feeling powerless so my new coping strategy is to not let a stupid system bully me into quiet despair. I’m learning how to use my state’s General Assembly’s online bill tracker and I’m subscribing to email updates for the agendas and the public hearings of the legislative committees I’m most concerned about. I’m memorizing all my legislators‘ names and emailing and calling regularly.
Also: Check to see if your state’s Legislative Library has Libguides that explain in layman’s terms what bills are passing in your state and other educational/legislative resources you have freely available to you!!!

I’m up in my bank account every week writing every transaction out in a spreadsheet and I’ve never been better with money in my whole life. Also helped me notice asap when a whole mess of fraudulent transactions slipped in while I was occupied moving and otherwise wouldn’t have seen them for a while. It’s absolutely more effective than a Mint budget tracker because you have to confront EVERY purchase and contemplate what actually has value to you.
