Do you have a favourite word? One of mine is "polliwog" - a different (and better) word for "tadpole". It's just so gosh darn cute. It's like caramel on my tastebuds, and it had it to be sung. I wrote this one for a friend, who I may or may not have caught feelings for, who felt trapped in their toxic relationship but was too scared of the unknown to leave it 💁🏽‍♀️ Also, I just really love frogs 🐸 I would like to forfeit all my mortal possessions to them, bake them biscuits, kiss their sweet faces, and put them in my pocket so I can carry them around wherever I go. #music #song #frogs #onemanband #words

Not just that. I have 10, almost 11 years of experience writing professionally. I know more about it than some freshly graduated infant. Degrees should only be *required* for inexperienced/entry level applicants who can't otherwise prove their competence. It shouldn't rule out hands-on experience, polished portfolios or any other credentials.

You are sorely overestimating my music and it's reach 🤣 When I said I don't make any money for it to steal, I meant that literally, as you can see in the attached picture. I don't promote Spotify or my stuff on it further than sharing the link when I mention where my music is available. When I share directly, it's usually through YouTube Music, and to a lesser degree Bandcamp. I definitely agree Spotify is ass, and practically singlehandedly destroyed commercial music. But, much as I dislike how this phrase has come to be a defense for wilful carelessness and wrongdoing, I think it's a case of "there's no ethical consumption under capitalism". Starving people will eat out of the trash, unfortunately. But seriously, I don't promote Spotify. I'm just on it. And it makes such little difference, leaving it won't spite them at all. But I will have one less platform to share my music on, if ever anyone wants to listen to it there.
