It’s been really fun not being on social media that much recently. Especially when working on new music, I’ve found it super helpful to unplug for long periods of time. As cliche as it is, sometime last year I finally started understanding what people meant by the wave of anxiety and decrease in self worth that hits you when you open an app like instagram. It’s nice to check in and see what my friends are doing, but I’ve really tried to cut off that feeling of needing to stay constantly ‘up to date’ with everything going on all the time. Same goes for news. For the first time since college really i’ve started trying to read books again lmao. I know this one seems kind of basic, but for anyone feeling like they’re needing some encouragement to feel like it’s okay to unplug, go for it.

This is a Rec on how to stay sane, not how to get out, unfortunately.
I have been (mostly) unemployed for like almost a year aside from short stints or gigs. it’s been awful awful awful BUT AMC A List became my light at the end of the tunnel, truly.
$25 a month for 3 “free” movies every week. I use it as a treat after trudging through applications or to have something to look forward to. And, yes, you can watch as many free movies as you want on your laptop in your room but having a place to go or a plan at the end of a grueling day is great.

Lowkey have learned shitloads from this channel. It took me a while to get used to this guys grating YouTube announcer type voice and dad jokes but now I find it incredibly soothing. I am 100% a sucker for a cheesy youtube history video, museum, anything like that. Weird History is my go-to on tour, before bed, etc. Also they have another channel called Weird History Food which is very informative and entertaining. If i didn’t make it as a musician I would totally be producing content like this for a living. It rocks.

Irish hard shoe dancing is one of the most metal, hardcore things I have ever witnessed or attempted to do in my life. The shoes are also called “heavy shoes” which is fire. The sound is very satisfying to me in an ASMR way. I’m obsessed with the stoicism that accompanies the dance, specifically the way the arms are held completely straight at your sides. I highly recommend taking an Irish dance class (they have in most cities). It is an insane cardio workout (very sweaty) and extremely enjoyable. I want to see people doing it at my shows.

I have extremely dry cuticles and this is the only stuff I’ve tried that works. It’s very old school. The packaging is also dope. My grandma used to it and so does my mom (warning: it does have a very old timey grandma-type fragrance). The smell gives me an instant sense memory of my mom putting it on her cuticles, elbows, and feet on a Sunday night while watching the classic British soap opera Eastenders. :)
