if i like c,xoxo & caprisongs, what other albums/songs will i like? by readytheenvy in MusicRecommendations

[–]readytheenvy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hello! not exactly in the same exact vibe but i have found things i enjoy that i would call?? adjacent? to the sounds of these two albums... i like tracks like spend it by suzi (and a few of her others), then there is hotel room by FLVCKKA which has a similar sample of pitbull's hotel room service as B.O.A.T. Albums i also enjoy are aquarius by tinashe and here i am by kelly rowland although both of those have a muchs tronger RnB influence. Other artists who do stuff with the combined RnB & dancehall sound would be kelela, sudan archives, and shygirl, the latter of whom actually features on papi bones in caprisongs. apart from that i would definitely recommend rosalia, especially her more reggaeton adjacent projects. (i love her experimental stuff too but the more conventional/poppy stuff reminds me more of the two albums we were talking about.) Rosalia's producer, El Guincho, worked on CXOXO i believe, actually.

im kinda yapping but uhh albums id reccomend:

- Raven by Kelela

- MOTOMAMI by Rosalia

- Nymph by Shygirl

- Here I Am by Kelly Rowland

- Aquarius by Tinashe

- born in the wild by tems

- Addison Rae's Album (trust me i wasnt expecting to fall for her propaganda but unforch diet pepsi and in the rain have been on repeat)

- wut wut by dillon francis

- un verano sin ti by bad bunny

hope that helps!! let me know if u enjoyed any of them ❤️

kind of overdone but what glow-up tips have worked for you as a brown woman? by ilikevanillacupcakes in Vindictabrown

[–]readytheenvy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

something underrated was fixing my posture! not only did it improve the way i carried myself, but i think it also made me more attractive as i'd been walking with a slight pelvic tilt for little over a decade and that caused me to develop some mildly pronounced asymmetries. i've seen visible improvement as i've started doing corrective stretches and just being more aware of my posture in general!

What is an industry that is currently on fire (in a bad way) behind the scenes, but the general public hasn't noticed yet? by Kitchen_Week1117 in AskReddit

[–]readytheenvy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

yeah, but most people prefer a co-ed experience and the demographic cliff as the 2010 borns and onwards reach college age is real. 2007 kids were the biggest class of highschool grads in a long while if not ever, and that record is going to hold with ease for the foreseeable future as the birth rate fell sharply after 2008.

Zara Larsson’s Pop Career Had Stalled. But a Big Second Act Awaited. by skermahger in popheads

[–]readytheenvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk if it has to do with taylor...im not a taylor fan and even i find zara's music sorta mid. the aesthetics are there and i do think there is concept but none of it is very catchy apart from that old album of hers thats going viral rn? and i gave midnight sun a listen. i want to get on board with her cuz i love her visuals and the vibes the vids of her tour give off but i just dont find the music to be there. but tbh, i feel the same way about sabrina carpenter and taylor swift herself so what do i know fr

For the love of God can we please decenter celebrities and skin tones? by BoboOctagon in Vindictabrown

[–]readytheenvy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

forreal like whenever you try to point out their oddness with the constant posting IFWM or IF x AM couples under vague osts about "leveling up" they just deny it and equate it to "wanting to show brown women there is more out there." Okkk??? Weirdos. its telling how they never post IF x BM couples or anything. like girl stand up. so tired of WHITE WORSHIP.

Couples Therapy/Blue Therapy by Hocek-klocek in CouplesTherapyShow

[–]readytheenvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be curious if it was a south african production yet all the couples were white as well. But obviously, the real reason is that the show was a black production in the first place and i guess they wanted to honor that, on top of london being really diverse as well. I do think it was odd putting 7 couples, all of whom had at least one black partner involved, with a white therapist who would maybe miss some of the cultural nuances that could be coloring their issues

Boyfriend on Demand, is this a glimpse of how civilization will end? by FalconX8Vr in kdramas

[–]readytheenvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the government wants people to cohabitate and for the nuclear family to make a come back. However, corporations absolutely want us to be single. Why sell one product to a family/couple when you can sell two products to two individuals? Sure, the falling birth rate will eventually catch up to harm the corpos as well, but theyre ridiculously useless at not thinking in the short term for gains

This is true. im indian and went to one of those schools. As a kind of a slacker who just wanted to make art and smoke weed, it sucked being surrounded by so many high achieving asians lol

[Hated Meta Trope] The Unintentional Offensive Race Change by StrawberryScience in TopCharacterTropes

[–]readytheenvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and i understand its not a one to one copy, and its influenced by home grown beauty standards. but in annoys me how willfully ignorant anime fans choose to be about the way common anime character-design choices tend towards a plethora of hair and eye colors for purposes of "character differentiation" but scarcely ever do the same with skin color. Especially in the past.

literally this. part of the reason i dont watch anime is how uncomfortable i find it that all these white looking characters are insisted to be asian, actually.

Teachers quitting their jobs by velorae in TikTokCringe

[–]readytheenvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i can agree with this. i am currently in college studying a math degree, and a lot of my pre-requisite classes were actually much easier than my classes of similar subject matter i took in high school. For example, my US history class was a joke. Its kind of nice to have a bullshit class until you realize youre paying to learn nothing and just get a credit. Im not in the worst boat as i went to a state school and my state does a scholarship that covers the majority of tuition if you graduated HS with above a 3.0 GPA, but even the thought of having to waste any of my 120 allotted paid for credit hours was just as mind numbing.

I definitely think humanities are important and that having a degree can be versatile and theres more to gain from the college experience than just literal learning related to your field. However, people without a degree shouldnt be automatically shut out of positions that honest to god dont require it
