me, suffering after eating indian food: im a disgrace of an asian, i have the spice tolerance of a white person
my younger sister: like bdg!
me: dont assign me kin with bdg. anyway, he has a korean girlfriend, so maybe that ups his spice tolerance
my younger sister: ….you have a korean girlfriend
me: i SAID DONT ASSIGN ME KIN WITH BDG

haven’t made a polygon post in a hot sec so here’s a mad verse city appreciation compilation
still sad i didn’t get to hear “three voices one heart six eyes” at the end of the pod
i’m serious! so i suffer from ptsd and as a result get some pretty fun and funky fresh nightmares. i frequently have trouble falling asleep because i’m busy remembering last night’s Fucked Up Shit or wondering what new Fucked Up Shit my brain’s gonna give me tonight. i’m not saying this has cured me- my nightmares still exist, trust me- but it’s made it a lot easier to sleep
step 1. getchurself the entire silo album. it’s on spotify, apple play, and bandcamp! grab it real quick. make sure it’s not on shuffle. u got it? good
step 2. at your desired time play the album starting from decatur street. don’t worry if you’re not sleepy yet or if you’re restless.
step 3. use the first 3 songs to get grounded. pull the blanket over your shoulder so you don’t get cold. take a deep breath. get your cat to stop turning your desk chair into a fillet. remember that you forgot your retainer. if you’ve settled in and brown of gold isn’t over, focus on the background of the songs- jonah and brian and sierra are masterminds with layering. have you noticed the tambourine in ladybug yet? no? notice it.
step 4. use the next 6 songs to sleep. they’re quieter and calmer, and still have enough background that if your brain runs off with something, you can redirect your attention to focusing on every note in the alto line from follow through or the bassline in bigger sky. count along with the stupid slow 3/4 time in 10/31. if your brain works best with a goal (like mine does,) try to be asleep by the end of “must be a dream.” it helps me to convince myself to stay still and keep my eyes shut that way.
step 5. and hey, if you aren’t asleep by track 10, you’ll probably end up crying yourself to sleep with see the day anyway, so there’s always that! i’ve personally never made it that far and it’s been a week or so.
anyway the only downside of this i’ve found is that i’ve very quickly familiarized myself with tracks 1-7 while i still dont know all the words to newton’s first? but thats like. minor stuff. i have it on good authority this works with anxiety-related insomnia too (and maybe with regular insomnia? i dunno! go find out)
now good night, everyone, and i hope this helps!
Does the last chorus of clean slated state tear into everyone's souls and rip out a lonliness and yearning you thought was gone but really was just buried deep within or is that just me?
