[English version below]
La palabra de hoy me hizo pensar en lo pesada que se puede poner la gente cuando no quieres beber alcohol y en lo normalizadas que están ciertas cosas. He aquí un pequeño intento de luchar contra la normatividad. Mención especial al refresco de fresa (aunque yo le quitaría el gas). Ah, esto me ha recordado a los dibujos de bebidas queer como el que dejo abajo (tanto lemonscribs como otra gente tienen muchos más, podéis echar un vistazo o preguntarme).
Marina apareció en mi vida hace tiempo, cuando aún tenía sus diamantes, con sus Lies. Años después descubrí más de su música y me encontré con bastantes temas que merecen la pena.

Today's word made me think about how annoying people can be when you don't want to drink alcohol, and how normalised certain things are. Here's a small attempt to fight normativity. Special mention to the strawberry soda —although I'd leave out the carbonated water. Oh, this reminded me of queer drink drawings like the one I share below (both lemonscribs and others have many more, you can check them out or ask me).
Marina appeared in my life a while ago, when she still held her diamonds, with her Lies. Years later, I discovered more of her music and came across quite a few tracks that are worth listening to.
Cheeks are rosy like a Boucher cherub
I'm a strawberry soda, raise my lashes to heaven
Stars in my hair running like a waterfall
Clouds in the whites of our eyes, we saw it all
Burnt me at the stake, you thought I was a witch
Centuries ago, now you just call me a bitch
Mother Nature's dying, nobody's keeping score
I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore
I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore
Anymore
Marilyn's bungalow, it's number seven
In the pink palace where men made her legend
Owned by a sheik who killed thousands of gay men
I guess that's why he bought the campest hotel in L.A. then
Mother Nature's dying, nobody's keeping score
I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore
I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore
If you have a mother
Daughter or a friend
Maybe it is time
Time you comprehend
The world that you live in
Ain't the same one as them
So don't punish me
For not being a man
Spring appears when the time is right
Women are violets coming to light
Don't underestimate the making of life
The planet has a funny way of stopping a fight
Mother Nature's dying, nobody's keeping score
I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore
I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore
If you have a mother
Daughter or a friend
Maybe it is time
Time you comprehend
The world that you live in
Ain't the same one as them
So don't punish me
'Cause I'm not a man
So don't punish me
'Cause I'm not a man
'Cause I'm not a man
