the real reason why im an internet studies scholar is bc my first reaction to getting rejected from a phd program is to make a meme to announce the news

im not a classics girlie but i fear that jane eyre is indeed doing it for me

Turning 28 is so funny bc I am finally in my ‘late twenties’ and people who hate my fanfics can FINALLY comment that I’m ‘pushing 30’

honestly watching heated rivalry in one sitting this weekend has done wonders getting me to stop obsessively checking my email for grad school updates bc now i just think about the gay hockeys instead

the olympics (organization) is basically evil but the olympics (concept, performances) are some of the best shit we as humans do

DOMHALL GLEESON AND CILLIAN MURPHY?????

delighted that i got to sit inside the stage at this beautiful mess of a musical it will live on forever in my heart

writing an academic piece about fanfiction is so funny bc how on earth do i cite my immortal in mla format

Alrighty after two weeks of Bluesky being deleted from my phone and only accessing it via desktop, I think I have decided this is the best setup for my mental health and screentime. Obvi I love being in the loop and discussing everything fun, but it's better for me if I only do it for 5 min per day

Okay I need to take a break from this app for a couple days bc (and this is NOT shade like find joy where you can I get it) I simply cannot deal with how bad it feels to scroll through a feed where 50% is talking about today’s murder and the other 50% is posting song battle brackets

We are… one week into 2026….

My first academic publication went live last week and now my school’s English department is promoting it on their insta

My no-fun-at-parties take is that "christmas is a secular holiday" is an uncomfortable way of assuring me that christianity is the status quo and everything outside of that is an aberration. Sorry! It's still a christian holiday!! Just because you're an atheist doesn't make it secular!

The only thing I want for Christmas is the live mixes of every song from the reputation set bc while I’m not a rep girlie the guitar going in lywmmd is UNREASONABLY good

Uhhh what stage of fascism are we in now

For the first time in my life… I finished a semester with a 4.0 GPA 🥹

swifties why does every single line in seven feel like taylor swift has entered my home and repeatedly punched me in the stomach

Jan is really hitting blue steel every time the camera is looking in his direction

Florence coming out of the lift and being like 'oh my god thats fucking taylor swift' is absolutely sending me

Gonna be offline until Saturday to avoid any spoilers about the docuseries since I’m not gonna watch it until then 🫡

Evermore I love you so much and I will NEVER forget you, the first Taylor Swift album I had the pleasure of freaking out over in the hours leading up to it Top 5: right where you left me gold rush champagne problems willow marjorie

BEYONCÉ MET GALA COCHAIR I AM ON THE FUCKING FLOOR RN

We need to permanently retire "get that bag" and bring back the shame of selling out!! Sorry!!

For all of my video essay folks: I think we all moved on from Folding Ideas’ ‘I Don’t Know James Rolfe’ wayyyy too fast

Will never forgive that bald man for giving the great impersonator a 1/10 because this album continues to wow me ESPECIALLY when the closing track just point blank says ‘THIS IS A CRY FOR HELP’ as no one notices her distress

I’m halfway through An Academic Affair and I need everyone to know this is PEAK rivals to lovers Also as an academic… crazy that academic worldwide is a hot fucking mess

As usual Taylor was my top artist, but this year none of my top 5 songs were from her Tbh she can’t help that I saw MCR this year and immediately injected Boy Division directly into my brain

My one class today was cancelled bc of the weather so I’m having my first-ever snow day at 27 ❄️

so bc i'm grad school with very little disposable income, i haven't bought a lot of books since leaving my bookstore job where i got a LOT for free. now i'm working through my backlog and going to the library and am struggling to put together a list of books to ask for this holiday season

My classmate wants me to tweet the following hot take and I will NOT be silent: Psychoanalysis is a load of horseshit and anyone who uses it for something other than literary analysis is a fucking liar and just making shit up

The holiday vinyl not selling out is so fucking funny to me like we only want evermore and we want it NOW

Had to go on an odyssey today to access a book for class that included checking four library systems (one in person), five different bookstores, and planning on how to ask my classmates to borrow their book to make copies ONLY FOR MY FORMER LIBRARY SYSTEM WHERE I STILL HAVE A CARD TO HAVE AN EBOOK!!

Taking a break from reading about white nostalgia and post-truth politics to see this really is… something!

Listen I’m doing backflips over Ralph Finnes as Snow and everything but I’m so baffled that it’s not Kiefer Sutherland

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.

Saw one post about Alan Wake 2 and I’ve spent all day thinking about it Tbh Alan Wake 2 is a perfect game and I have literally no notes on it

I am BEGGING for a sweater made from natural fibers

Happy birthday I Bet You Think About Me, you absolutely rewired my brain ❤️ (Also happy birthday to Message in a Bottle aka the yearning anthem!)

Grad school is crazy bc why am I genuinely writing a critical essay on My Immortal

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

HAPPY MIGRATION DAY!!! LET US NEVER RETURN TO THE OTHER APP!!! Here’s my album ranking (please don’t kill me): 🩶 folklore 🤍 TTPD 🩵 1989 🤎 evermore ❤️ Red 💙 Midnights 🩷 Lover 🖤 Reputation 💜 Speak Now ❤️‍🔥 TLOAS 💛 Fearless 💚 Debut

It’s so weird waking up and being happy about elections? And hopeful about politics?

The level of libbing out that I’m about to do

We get mystified by how this city screams your name 🗽💙☑️ Congrats, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, on becoming New York City’s next mayor!

I was too young to remember it but it did happen on my birthday so that has to count for something

Chilling considering how Teen Vogue was one of the few sites with consistent coverage on progressive movements and coalition building

Perhaps my most delusional belief is that if there is an evermore lpss, it’ll come out this December in honor of the 5 year anniversary

call them whatever you like, the reality is 'smart glasses' are surveillance devices designed by tech companies to violate consent and rewrite social norms. social shaming is still a more effective a deterrent than the law. @hypervisible.blacksky.app www.theverge.com/tech/807834/...

I love that the government shutdown made the airport so short staffed that they decided NOT to do precheck lines and everyone got fucked up so congressional republicans can get fucked for that
