11th grade I got really into The Fall Of Troy and The Mars Volta. I found out about Dance Gavin Dance and “swancore”. And I listened to a little bit of dubstep before it was “cringe”
12 grade I went full The Chariot stan and also got into The Locust idk I just wanted noise. I was also listening to Animals As Leaders, Cloudkicker and other “confusing” music.

Grade 10 and into grade 11 was a lot of emo/"screamo"/pop-punk (My Chemical Romance, The Academy Is..., Cute Is What We Aim For, Cobra Starship, The Devil Wears Prada, Chiodos, Taking Back Sunday, Brand New, Get Up Kids, etc.)
Moving further into grade 11, it was grew more into the indie+more (Ting Tings, MGMT, Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem, Tegan and Sara, Metric, Justice, Chromeo, The Prodigy, Flight of the Conchords, Band of Horses, The Submarines, Natalie Portman's Shaved Head, The Moldy Peaches/Kimya Dawson, Bloc Party, Vampire Weekend, Peaches, Regina Spektor, omg so many).
Twelfth grade I leaned reallyyyyy hard into my whole Yearning phase before I left for college so a lot of Stars, Sufjan Stevens, Rilo Kiley, Beirut, The Naked and Famous, The Decemberists, Phoenix, Foster the People, The Smiths (lol)...
The list could go on and on, but it was a fun time, musically.

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

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹
