the fill is more female slash than i wanted, but just mentioned & not shown.
Here's the plan: every Friday, let's recommend some people and/or communities to follow on Dreamwidth. That's it. No complicated rules, no "pass this on to 7.328 friends or your cat will die".

Excuse me while I rant for a minute or two. I will preface this by admitting this is inane and trivial with everything going on in the world right now, but it still pisses me off.
I’ve been seeing a commercial for an upcoming series on, if I’m remembering correctly, MAX, and the background music is an electronic/synth cover version of Zombie by The Cranberries. The vocalist is a young woman, with a small, breathy voice, almost as if she’s whispering, with no real emotion.
Dolores O'Riordan wrote Zombie about and for the young victims of a bombing in Warrington, England, during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Dolores, like Sinead, was a keener. Not all of their songs were laments, but a good portion of them were about injustice, inequality, or to honor the dead and help others express their grief.
Zombie has been covered by a lot of singers / bands. I just feel a disappointment and more than a bit of anger, because most of those bands do not have any cultural significance to the song itself, or a corresponding experience. I believe they just wanted to sing a cool song.
There you have it. Me expressing judgment over something that is absolutely none of my business, but I can’t let it go!
