heath, they/she, crucially not european ୨ৎ side account dedicated to esc-related lists (mostly national final rankings these days)

• boycotting eurovision 2026, i engage exclusively with national selections now.
• i disagree with the ebu’s ‘apolitical’ and hypocritical stance. free palestine and ukraine, the contest has to be understood in dialogue with the political climate that surrounds it
  • this means recognising the good it has done for the representation of marginalised communities, while calling out its complicity in pinkwashing a genocide
• i have a significant bias towards indie and rock representation and against girlbops, or works that feel generic / crafted purely with the intention to win
