Abuela's Song of the Day (Jun 19)

Holland - Loved you better https://youtu.be/0V38cJ8t8cY
cw: flashing, blood/injury, implied gay bashing, explicit SI
CC in 15 tracks, incl ENG

Flashing back to this letter to himself Holland released in 2019, something he wished he could tell his younger self. A sentiment I think a lot of queer adults can sympathize with.

XLOV - 1&Only https://youtu.be/NBZgirj_C2Y
cw: flashing, surrealism, blood/injury, arson

Serving up a heaping course of Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve, and Talent. If there *is* a heterosexual explanation for this, I don't want to hear it. (But I'm pretty sure Wumuti has said he's queer, so any such argument would be invalid anyway)
