Have you ever had an insect you're afraid of in your room? How did you handle it ? Sometimes I have some spiders and I always lost the sight of it and then i'm scared af for like 3 days until I found them and killed them or they left on their own

Hi ATRL, So I've taken a midday cocktail to celebrate and I'm a lil tipsy, but I have something to share with you all. I love this website in all its messiness, there is so much music I've discovered on here, so many kiis I've had reading things, so many interesting corners of music and pop culture I've discovered thanks to ATRL. And I find it to be a really fun, positive community that is also very LGBT friendly (I'm ghey, obviously). And while I've been posting I've also been carrying a secret... I am a user of this website, but now there is a chance I will one day get a thread made about my new music I've been a songwriter for the indie pop scene in Vancouver BC for a while (I moved here from Peru when I was 18), and recently through an insane series of events I ended up getting an offer for a record deal from a local label. This label is 604 Records, owned by Chad Kroeger of Nickelback. This is the label that put together "Call Me Maybe". There are literally Diamond plaques on the wall of the label with Carly's face on it, it's surreal. They're distributed by Warner. They have COIN. Like I was shook the first time they invited me to their building, there's all these multi-Platinum plaques for Nickelback, Carly, Marianas Trench (Canadian icons for those who know), Coleman Hell and others. People talking about meeting Justin Bieber and Harry Styles like it's the most casual thing in the world So that happened. I had to get an (expensive ass) lawyer. It was a whole thing. I was so nervous it would fall through multiple times, like the tension was unbearable; this was all in my mind though because they couldn't have been lovelier and more supportive, it's more me being such a pessimist and not believing this could be happening to me. Like, I was struggling and hustling in the music scene for years. Doing songwriting workshops, singing back up, getting absolutely nowhere. So it was insane and surreal that they loved my self-produced demos so much that they wanted to fund a whole album and give a full record deal without ever having released music of my own And tonight the first single from my first album has finally been released. We put out a dark take on a Christmas song that they asked me to do late last year, but now they've finally confirmed the whole album is a go and this is the first single It's the most exciting day of my life in a way. I feel like Mariah in her memoir when she gets signed and can finally breathe a sigh of relief because her musical life is about to begin. As a proud and openly gay man the one thing I really would like with my music career, if I'm going to be given a platform and support and all that being signed to a big indie label means, is that I want to connect with my LGBT community. I want to get played in the clubs. I would honestly die happy if I ever see a drag queen or drag king do one of my songs. And I'm going to be pushing for gay acceptance/rights in my videos and music HARD. I'm going to use that record label coin to make some subversive gay art. The next video will be a gay themed video for a bop that's coming. I'm going to truly try to be the gay pop star that I never had growing up. This community that is my home means the world to me. So I'd rather start nowhere else than here, the internet's queer capital of pop music to start spreading the word about my music. So without further ado I would like to share my first (proper) single with you: "Great Escape" - a synth-pop bop about yearning to get out no matter what. I hope you like it. And I hope you will come with me on this journey EDIT: thank you so much for all the lovely messages and support!! This is the very beginning for me and it's so cool to see a whole thread of people talking about the song. I have a ton more music coming soon including another single next month and an EP early summer, I typically announce stuff on my Instagram first so feel free to give me a follow if you'd like to be the first to know, I'll also try some way of announcing it on here

I just kinda want to get through this week... I'm already so tired. Wbu?

Ever since I was younger, I've always been obsessed with flags. From their bold and vibrant colours to their unique designs, flags have always been a symbol of identity and national pride. Here are some of my faves Brazil (adopted in 1889, she's aged well I fear!) Albania Mexico Belize (also the only national flag to have feet ) Reply with some cute flags you like!

This girl replied to a TikTok of some local bakery about their outrageous price for a basic ass cake and then got harassed by the owner and all of her friends. People have now gone after the bakery and they have deleted their Instagram. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZIJn4Aqgr/

What are some iconic threads from ATRL do you remember? 1. HDD - ARTPOP thread 2. Will Roar and Applause sound like Brave 3. Rihanna vs Ciara - Twitter feud thread 4. Not a thread but it was a comment in a thread "boiled as in turned into gas"?

Granted I know a loottt of people on here don't really like him, I DO KNOW that he has a huge fanbase and a lot of people that DO like him! He had one of the biggest peaks in Pop Music history, that ended up leading him to have some of the biggest songs ever in music and break countless touring records for multiple years straight. Even though now he's "flopping" in comparison to his previous eras, he was still a Pop Music phenomenon. So despite all of that, do y'all miss him??? And if so why??? And if you don't, why not???

Guess what flop? You traveled to an alternate reality where you are MARRIED! (if you are already married irl then congrats but you still get teleported) Your newly found partner is attractive, smart, considerate, etc. You actually kinda like it. But... one day, this new partner hears your loud ass phone playing your favorite artist. They immediately shut it down and ream at you for playing them and prohibits you to EVER play a song from them, for the rest of your life. What's the move? Divorce? Or do you accept their terms?

The Good Doctor TV show just brutally and unceremoniously killed off gay character Dr. Asher Wolke (played by Noah Galvin) and fans of the show aren't happy. Doctor Wolke has been a part of the show from seasons 4 through 7 and was one of the main characters. Thoughts?

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny failed to cover its costs at the box office according to financial statements released on Friday which show that Disney spent $134.2m more on making the movie than it is understood to have received in ticket sales. The film, features a digitally de-aged Ford. It came at a cost as the filings reveal that $79 million was spent on post-production work. Data from industry analyst Box Office Mojo shows that Dial of Destiny grossed $384 million, just 49% of the takings of its prequel, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Disney shot itself through the foot somewhat by launching the Disney+ streaming platform. Not only has it replaced the need to buy a DVD or Blu Ray, but Disney+ subscribers don't pay per movie. Instead they are billed monthly or annually and get access to a studio's entire library, along with any new content released during their subscription period. This means it isn't possible to attribute subscriber fees to specific productions, such as Dial of Destiny, and in turn that increases the need for pictures to succeed at the box office. The dismal performance of Dial of Destiny piles pressure on Disney's embattled chief executive Bob Iger who spearheaded the acquisition of Lucasfilm and the development of the movies which have yet to cover the cost of it. Combined with losses generated by Disney+ this has led to Disney's share price falling by around 40% since its peak of $201.91 in March 2021. https://www.forbes.com/sites/carolinereid/2024/03/31/indiana-jones-whips-up-130-million-loss-for-disney/

My favorite right now Tom Ford Noir Extreme Jo Malone Wild Bluebell I used Dior Sauvage before and I felt like it was too generic with no character, maybe it's too common since it's one if not the most popular man fragrance out there.

Can someone help me with Part B and C? My younger cousin asked and I literally suck at chem lol. https://imgur.com/a/HhRbZgS

There was a reply on a Rosalia and Hunter Schafer dating thread that dating 5 months is equivalent to 2 years in the gay world. This brings up the topic—do you think gay relationships are shorter than straight relationships? If so, why is that? Is it because LGBT+ are more prone to cheating/infidelity? Shorter attention spans?

When you wake up first thing, what type of person would you say you are in the morning? Are you a completely different person after you had your morning coffee?

Their term is far along at this point. What letter grade has their performance thus far earned?

Let's say you have a partner and Jolene starts heavily flirting with them. Remember, Jolene is a very beautiful person. How would you have dealt with ha?

Now obviously dying is awful but which is the worst part? Dying alone with NO ONE by your side or dying alone without family to hold your hand?
