Lovecats by The Cure
Been listening to a lot of The Cure. You can’t go wrong with the album, Standing on the Beach: The Singles.
You by Keaton Henson
From the soundtrack for A Brilliant Young Mind, which I found charming.
The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo
“…if you’ve never watched Brian Jordan Alvarez’s The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo, please do. I’m comfortable saying it’s probably the best scripted YouTube series that’s ever been made.”
—Ryan Broderick, “Anti-crypto Media Personality.” Garbage Day. June 8, 2022.
That’s a pretty strong recommendation. Bookmarking and adding here unseen.

Fallout has some great music.
Disabled But Able To Rock! The Danger Woman Story
“‘Disabled But Able To Rock’ follows the life of Betsy Goodrich, a high-functioning autistic woman and her superhero alter-ego, Danger Woman. Danger Woman fights the Tri-phobes (Race-ophobia, Homophobia, and Disable-phobia) with her high-octave, karaoke crime-fighting superpowers.
Meanwhile, the real Betsy contends with a severely autistic and schizophrenic older brother and a diabetic mother wrestling with the burden of caring for two disabled children on a daily basis. Once that all changes, however, the true challenge becomes finding the balance between freedom and care.
Using home movies, interviews, old photographs and performance footage, the film peers beneath the veneer of its subject’s disability and examines the hopes and dreams of a woman who gets older, but cannot grow up.”

Reduce Your Death Anxiety
“The one thing all human beings have in common, is the fact that one day, our lives will end in death.
What does the idea of death mean to you? How does it make you feel?
Chances are the thought of death triggers fear or anxiety in you. You might not feel totally comfortable with the idea of dying and your life coming to an end.
Research shows that in our modern-day Western society death denial is a common attitude. Which is very contradictory in itself when you think about it, as death is ultimately the one thing we can not avoid from happening.
Ignoring death often leads to more death anxiety which can have a huge impact on your mental health and your day-to-day life, while contemplating death will give you the benefits of going through life more aware and with greater purpose.
With my online video course I will give you the tools to explore your relationship with mortality, and reduce your death anxiety.“

My father-in-law recently died after several years of illness. Talking about the possibility of dying is fraught with people engaged in magical thinking, as if broaching the subject is causal. It’s simply a reality people must face, and when they put it off, it is invariably worse. For €79, it’s probably a useful exercise, but the reality is the people that really need it won’t be the one’s buying this course.
Escape by Kx5, feat. Hayla
After a hiatus, starting to run and jump rope again. This is the kind of music I listen to when jumping rope. I don’t listen to music when I run because it’s dangerous in the city.
