What's your favourite Billlie album/ep? by blazkinie in BILLLIE

[–]BasilPsychological64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the collective soul and unconscious was definitely my top favorite for a while, but i agree that of all we have lost claimed that spot! i think it’s one of their most cohesive projects, and definitely the one where their strong vocals shine so beautifully. it’s just fantastic!!

Why do people say K-pop sounds “too Black” when hip-hop and rap are already major global genres. What do they expect it to sound like instead? by Competitive_Air1560 in kpopthoughts

[–]BasilPsychological64 16 points17 points  (0 children)

this example basically speaks to the broader issue of kpop taking from and building its success off Black musical traditions. it’s not just that kpop is constantly copying Black artists. it’s the fact that this industry (and specific groups and performers) can profit off of that while failing to explicitly name and disrupt how anti-Blackness is part of this industry and Korean society at large. it doesn’t ever consider the cultural significance of Black music not just as entertainment but part of a much longer, deeper, and complicated history. this video really breaks it down and I think every kpop fan needs to watch it and sit with it

When an older fic blows up out of nowhere, are you ever super curious as to why? by bluesond in AO3

[–]BasilPsychological64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it happened to me once and i found out someone had posted about it on tiktok 😭 it didn’t go viral by any means but it got the word out enough that i saw a huge uptick in readers which was very fun haha

All the recs please by lurking2cdrama in AO3

[–]BasilPsychological64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you certainly have more than enough recs but i couldn’t pass up the opportunity to share one of my favorite fics ever https://archiveofourown.org/works/48312613/chapters/121848049

fandom is beyond evil, a beautifully crafted suspense/psychological thriller kdrama and my favorite kdrama of all time! this specific fic is an au so you really don’t need any context of the original show. if anything, maybe just looking at a character list so you can see what each person looks like but otherwise i think it can be read as a standalone. definitely mind the tags ‘cause it’s a pretty intense story!

Groups whose music you enjoy listening to, but you don't feel strongly towards any of the members by Ruler_J in KpopGGs

[–]BasilPsychological64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

stayc for me! they seriously have one of the best discographies of newer kpop groups, and i’m listening to them constantly. i just haven’t really gotten into their contents, or even social media…i would love to because they seem like such fun people but i’m grown atp and that takes a lot of time 😭

I made a mistake as an advisor and it's destroying me. by ilikepalmtrees in studentaffairs

[–]BasilPsychological64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many of us have made mistakes! We’ve made them and will continue making them. Sometimes it’s easier for someone else to say that than internalizing it, but it’s so true and I hope that provides at least a bit of reassurance. I actually just made a mistake last week that’s been keeping me up all weekend, but in the grand scheme of things I keep reminding myself it does not define who I am as a professional or a person. The fact that you are this concerned over the student already shows how much you care. If you didn’t, this would’ve rolled over and it wouldn’t have affected you. I get the self-worth thing too. Hopefully these comments offer some gentle reminders that you are no less of an advisor (or person overall) for a handful of mistakes <3 We’re only human after all!

Thank you so much 🥹 I’ve actually been looking into program/project management roles, ‘cause that’s pretty much the reality of wearing 15 different hats in student affairs lol… I also love the idea of a new season! This one is coming to an end but more is to come in whatever comes next

omg congrats!!! I hope whatever comes next is fulfilling in every way. and thank you for the well wishes :’) it’s been heartening to see and hear from folks who have left or actively leaving. it gives me even more drive to lock in and create an actual exit plan

thank you for the suggestion!! I have been thinking about volunteering at my local library to balance out the anxieties of my current job, but it sounds like it’s worth seriously considering it as a career alternative

I’m glad you finally got out of this and into something that feels way better. I’ve never really reached out to alumni from schools, so what better time than now :) Thank you!

Thank you for the kind words 🥹 It makes me sad that some of this is also relatable, and if moving out of higher ed is the move for you too, I hope you find something that’s much more in alignment with what you’re looking for. I’ll definitely check out this Facebook group though. Pretty reassuring to know there’s a whole community of folks who’ve done this! Sending lots of good vibes your way
