Sometimes the universe does funny things. I originally planned to sign up for today’s OT and then pretty much immediately changed my mind. I got too in my head about it, so I decided I wouldn’t do what I had planned. And yet, here we are, because there was a last-minute need for an emergency thread. So I guess I’m doing this after all!
On April 8th, 1990 Kim Jong-hyun (Jonghyun) was born. He was a member of SHINee, a singer-songwriter, producer, dancer, and idol (in every sense of the word). You can read a little about his legacy in this excellent article published yesterday (CW in footnote). 1General CW when reading about Jonghyun’s life and death: discussions of suicide. On December 18th, 2017 Jonghyun died by suicide. Or you can listen to some of his music. Today would be a great day to do that. All royalties from Jonghyun’s album Poet ᛁ Artist support The Shiny Foundation, which was established by his family after his death.2You can read more about the foundation here, but they support artists through scholarships and providing mental health care.
Love you all 💎💎💎💎💎
Have a nice day/night! 🐺💖🌙
