Her blood is my blood

𝟸̶𝟼̶ 16 Blondshell: If You Asked for a Picture
At #26... No, #16, it's too good. #Blondshell with #IfYouAskedForAPicture. Have you ever wondered why she doesn't sing about being poor much? #NE25 #NecessaryEvil2025
At #17 is #SharonVanEtten with #SharonVanEttenAndTheAttachmentTheory. Or is it the debut album by #SharonVanEttenAndTheAttachmentTheory? Whatever, my wordcount is d

At #18 #Disiniblud (#RachikaNayar and #NinaKeith) force me onto a BIT of a tangent about suicides at Disney World #NE25 #NecessaryEvil2025

#NE25
#NecessaryEvil2025
