like street performances or people busking on the subway - all kinds of people with all kinds of instruments and sounds. free live concerts in public spaces too! recently i was in awe of this very talented trio at delancey-essex st who were tap dancing, drumming, and DJing. iāve seen them there more than once and they always look like theyāre having so much fun!! a couple months ago i passed by the big post office across penn station and there was literally a jazz band set up with a few audience seats and everything? it was wonderful. and once in paris, i was walking over the seine and a man was playing the violin so beautifully, and it felt like i was in a movie! i really love music and i love when people perform it in public, it is definitely a reminder that life can be so beautiful

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and itās actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic youāre passionate about

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining peopleās attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends -
fake words that people now use IRL (āunaliveā), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, āalpha maleā podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche thingsā¦ the list goes on
