Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

Oh gosh this thread is gonna go all day because I can talk about this endlessly.
There are so many answers to this and they're all good and correct and part of it.
1) the characters should find something intriguing about each other, even if it's as simple as "what's their deal?" 🧵

#Smutcember, it's time to talk about our work! To start off:

What if Pride and Prejudice had magic?
What if patriarchy prevented women from reaching their magical potential but also treated the rare magical women as prized broodmares?

This thread is me sharing how I deal with prioritizing self care when I'm too fatigued or depressed to do self-care but I need to do self-care to stop being fatigued/depressed. Breaking it down to be as simple as possible in case you're on your last brain cell (and therefore most in need of it).
