Welcome to The Sticky Thoughts - Tales of aging twenty somethings and the things they can't let go of. Sierra & Marlees, with over a decade long of friendship between them, discuss mental health, relationships, & pop culture through their own and other's sticky thoughts - those good and bad things you just can't get out of your head!
During Popstickle, Sierra shares a cryptic instagram post from Taylor Swift, who may be taking control of her own music again. Marlees gives a rundown of what's happening with Sia and her movie Music, an ableist film serving as an example of how not to treat a community you've harmed. 
Please check out these non-speaking/AAC user voices: (Thank you to Julia Bascom (@JustStimming) for compiling this list and for an informative Twitter thread on the problematic nature of music: check that out there - https://twitter.com/JustStimming/status/1329899543777964034)
