Mixtapes upcoming
🌸Hi, I’m Lilly!
A girl born to confusion, loneliness, and heartbreak.
I love art and want to make friends. I’m also a hopeless romantic who ain’t fussed about bodies too much. There are some preferences I have, sure, but there aren’t really any major disqualifiers really in body type. Personality: yes.
Best dating advice I ever got was to choose someone you find attractive and let them know something nice you think they don’t hear very often. (Gatekeeping which suitors my Papa said were most likely to stay faithful to me for the rest of my life. That’s generational wisdom right there.)
My troubles so far sucked. I wasn’t the only soul who was troubled, but I need a place to talk about my life so far. Reckon that if I yakk endlessly about why no one deserves it, well... look: the USA circa 2001 was AN ABSOLUTE HELL-HOLE OF PREJUDICE AND INSANITY.
As a social justice warrior, I think it’s important to talk about history so it doesn’t repeat itself.
My Brand™️ of artists in history...
*most artists become vulnerable. These folks match my general stereotype.
In 2001, a hurricane struck the Americas.
I was born - as far as I know - in Saint Louis, Missouri. I speak with a distinct cajun accent. too damn many people (especially on television and in washington dc) that sounds like “the south.”)
The missiSSIppi flows downwards. Saint louis floods often impact other cities further south if there are no dams to break the flow of water.
I consider myself a social justice warrior. That means knowing what role my racial stereotype plays in history. (Racial stereotype because - I only SUSPECT that I’m not a monoracial white lady. Both my mama and papa have hazel eyes and I sing like Mariah Carey so I don’t think I’m a “0% not-white” person.) All nice doctors hid my ancestry from me in various ways.
I’m not sure what my life would have been, but I feel...
If the hurricane that struck the USA caused “La Nina” to vanish...
That’s it. BOOM. George W Bush’s secret-keeping family delays our world’s focus on climate change even further using wars that kill off innocent people.
Since I’ve never enlisted I don’t know, but some nice veterans let me know:
Soldiers would absolutely do everything in their power to protect me. I’ve been told that some military contractors will do horrific things. Not all, but: enough.
Here’s a link to a biography of Elian Gonzalez.
Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans in 2006. Elian Gonzalez was called “El Nino” in the media. If I’d disappeared... well, here’s a link to Terry Schiavo’s WikiPedia page.
