iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

ok last one before i start prepping for my tutoring session. so grateful to have grown up in NYC and especially proud to live in the era of mamdanistan. also alicia keys has an angelic voice!

while sugar we’re going down is the objectively better song, the line “i swear i’d burn the city down to show you the lights” had a chokehold on me at age 15 (which is when fall out boy is meant to be listened to). pete wentz is a criminally underrated songwriter.

@bookishliv.swifties.social liked this so i’m using this as an excuse to post another taylor song! ttpd is a mixed album with some of the highest highs of her discography, imo. the harmonies and the electric guitar really make this one for me. i was proud to be in the top .001% of listeners in 2024

i listen to a lot of abba’s gold album, partially out of convenience when my library is sorted in alphabetical order. i also love mamma mia. the dove cameron rose bowl performance has a special place in my heart. what more can i say??

as you can probably guess from this thread so far, i absolutely love everything olivia rodrigo has released. she’s so talented at conveying her complex emotions through her songs. and this one shows her insane vocals too!!

i know laurel hell isn't as popular with mitski's fans as some of her other work, but this song was stuck in my head for most of my freshman year of college for good reason. i know fuck all about music theory, but i love how a lot of mitski's more upbeat songs have that chaotic dissonance (?)

of course there's gonna be at least one taylor swift song in here. this song is peak teenage angst as far as i'm concerned. the vivid imagery and storytelling that people love about all too well and folklore is on full display here. also she references my birthday :)

next up is a newer song that i was lucky enough to see performed live this summer! there's so much of what i love about kahan's songwriting—the dark humor masking his emotional vulnerability. i quote this one very often to my long-distance bf.

starting with a deeper cut from my favorite album of all time! Ain't It Fun and Still Into You are (rightfully) incredibly popular, but this song really resonated with 11-year-old zara. i love the production and how the lyrics are equal parts delusional and self-aware.

On Tuesday, @governor.ny.gov , Rep. Ryan, and I had the opportunity to speak with farming communities and spotlight a New York State moratorium on data center construction. We must hold Big Tech companies accountable for maintaining our air, water, and climate quality.

while i still have library access from my university, would anyone be interested in joining a super chill reading group where we discuss academic papers about reality TV? #bbsky

i thought my mom would be okay with it because she reads a lot of dark historical fiction, but she called me after chapter one to tell me how much she hated the narrator lmfao

Lisa 🌸 @bblisa.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

the critiques pmo because it's all either 1) the intentionally unlikable narrator is unlikable 2) her religious upbringing doesn't match my assumptions or 3) the woman who's whole deal is cosplaying a tradwife doesn't understand how tradwife things work. like none of that makes the book bad.

it's not even 48 hours since the merger, and paramount plus is airing blatant military propaganda supporting the invasion of venezuela paid for by the US government. it's fucking disgusting. i'm going to cancel my subscription and find other ways to watch #survivor51

maggie just asking brady for the advantage is crazy, and brady just giving it to her is crazier #survivor51
