Anyone else think short form social media based on algorithms designed to promote topics that create more engagement instead of more joy, the idea of fast fashion but conveyed through social media, and the fact you can monetize suffering and outrage better than ever has largely resulted in the death spiral of media literacy and the mass emergence of bad faith readings?
ppl who like making friends solely with one-note cardboard boxes who will hang out with them when it's convenient and never open up about who they are as people and what their lives are like dni

♫ + kitty (sorry for sending the ask again i just wanna know what song you had since you said it was perfect)
no need to apologise!! i was hoping someone would send kitty, heh. the song in question is by mika, and it's elle me dit.
Elle me dit
Tu es toujours un enfant
Tu ne seras jamais grand
Et moi je suis déjà vieille
the lyrics remind me really heavily of kitty's relationship with her sister, with how the song is about a woman urging the narrator essentially stop being so useless and do something meaningful with their life in a cruel tone ('she tells me / you'll always be a child / you'll never grow up / and me, i'm already old'), berating them. the rest of the song is similar (i won't quote the entire thing, but i very much could) - 'she tells me, "yes, one day you'll kill me," and it's when she tells me this that she tells me something i like' and 'she tells me "it's your life, do what you want - one day you'll understand, one day you'll kick yourself.' it just reminds me a lot of kitty, and it has a very similar upbeat pop vibe to grace kelly, which i think kitty would also love
