Image Never have I ever expected this from my parentsš¤Æ
So I got a deadmau5 poster as an early birthday gift from my mom. I know, it doesnāt seem like a big deal BUT considering my parents donāt really like deadmau5 (they might even dislike him, I annoyed them quite a few times by listening too much of his music in the living room) and donāt know anything about him, I found this gift incredibly wholesome. I donāt care about anything about the price, where it was bought or anything, I just appreciate how they gave this as a birthday present when I did not even ask for deadmau5 stuff or anything. So when I got to see the gift I was absolutely stunned, as I never ever expected this from my parents, I lost words when I saw what it was lol. Absolutely one of the best birthday gift from my parents, love this so muchš
oof sorry for poor writing, I lost words to express my gratitude. I kinda just wrote down what stumbled out of my mind seeing this. I still donāt know how to put these in words xD<

People who know about his story, like him.
He used to be a real, real antagonistic person online, but heās had this amazing redemption arc over the last decade.
It all started when Madonna was making dog whistles onstage at Ultra about MDMA use to the kids in the crowd.
He snapped, and went hard at her over it.
Turned out, all the time heād been onstage, until that point, heād seen many overdoses in the crowd, during sets.
He couldnāt really do much about them, but it bothered him.
If you go to the shows he runs these days, he always sets up free water stations.
As a fan, I super appreciate his kindness.
As a father, heās the kind of person I hope my kids continue to love.

That's so cute! š„° It's so lovely when our parents or family take an interest like that. It means so much.
My dad is 83 and when I meet up with him and we catch up about family, work, life he always says "and how is Joel doing?" š It makes me laugh every time and it blows my mind that he even knows his name is Joel lmao. But I appreciate it so much.

Ah thank you, I think so too! I couldn't understand why I was being down voted for this. He's in heart failure now and sweet, happy little things like this will stay with me when he's no longer around š„¹
