artists if you're trying to get attention from a music journalist the best thing you can do is like all of their photos and then leave a comment like "check your DMs" on a photo of them with their mom, this is the secret to coverage they don't want you know to about!

When people say “most women don’t know” at six weeks it’s not because most woman aren’t paying attention it’s that you’d legit only be two weeks late & anything from hormonal to environmental factors can impact your cycle so two weeks late isn’t out of the ordinary for most women
