The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

this is the weirdest album release i’ve personally experienced because there was a death in the family the day it came out. i love the album so much but it’s been a weird experience to process so much at once. for example i cried in the car to “wood” just now

happy international lesbian day to all the lesbians on the skyline!!!!!! as a baby bi i just want to say i admire all of yall who are out and proud or still figuring it out or even staying in the closet for your safety. you are all valid and beautiful and strong and wild 🩷🧡🤍

i think one of my favourite parts about this album is that the first time taylor has ever mentioned a dick in a song was when she was referring to HER OWN dick 💀

stop using chatgpt stop using chatgpt STOP USING CHATGPT! like seriously why are we still using chatgpt fully knowing how awful it is for the environment? Use YOUR BRAINPOWER AND IMAGINATION. I BELIEVE IN YOU.

“Actually romantic is homophobic” “Opalite is racist” actually maybe yall just can’t fucking read idk

in interviews taylor has been emphasizing that: 1) the album is about her experience doing the eras tour 2) this album’s content still directly reflects her current experience (rather than a gap like ttpd or based on “midnights past”) thus… eras = a performance current experience = a performance

I still can’t believe she made an album only we as performance artlors like

i ❤️‍🔥 the character actor known as Taylor Swift

i just think it’s interesting that when asked what lyric specifically best summed up her life right now (calling her bluff basically), she responded instead with a lyric she loved: “i pay the check before it kisses the mahogany grain”

i’m so mad those videos are ai generated. like what has the last decade been about if you’re going to preach respecting artists and paying them what they’re worth and then using ai

anyways artwork is only as interesting as you as the viewer make it because ultimately meaning is made in the relationship between the audience & the artwork

i’m so sure.

straplor is REAL and that alone will get me through whatever else comes next gay people in my phone i love you good night!!

hey guys! since we’re getting a lot of scam messages lately, i recommend you turn dms to people you follow or better yet off. we can ask each other to DM from our posts if need be! notice how this scam avoids asking to DM in comments bc it’s easier for others to call it out as suspicious behavior.

all blessings to the steadfast peace warriors of the floatilla, may the winds aid their arrival and protect those kidnapped 🕊️🍉🕯 feels like the closest to hope in a long time and I believe in the power of hope 🪄

I think more people than just Lo are being hacked. I will never DM you something ambiguous about a concern I might have about something. I am extremely forthcoming. Be really careful, update your security information.

fuqqqqq target seriously

This entire album rollout has felt like this gif over and over

i thought this substack was interesting in a performance artlor way… it /starts/ to get at some of the really good analysis of sabrina’s “showgirl” that i’ve seen here with y’all! are the frogs boiling yet?? open.substack.com/pub/thedigit...

caleb hearon confirmed lesbian 🥳

also, to add. the monetisation/pay walling of media and knowledge is what’s turning students more and more towards artificial intelligence as a search engine and base for knowledge. Basic educational resources and knowledge are no longer free or accessible. systems like ChatGPT unfortunately are

I think Taylor is trying to flex how much momentum she can generate for her album without relying on traditional media. I think she’s trying to capture numbers to prove what she can do via social channels and the fandom community alone.

political violence is also criminalizing the unhoused and mental illness. political violence is also defunding medical research. political violence is also destroying our environment. cant pick and choose what is political violence, when to apply it, and say it "doesn't have a place in our country"

*whispers in a doesn’t understand sports voice* why are the los angeles chargers and the kansas city chiefs playing against each other in… brazil? 😭

let’s be honest this should have been proof enough

worked on a job application today for about 45 minutes… updated my cover letter and resume, asked around for consent from professional references, answered the personal prompts… and i got a rejection email literally 14 minutes after hitting submit. FOURTEEN

if i wrote and released TTPD to a world that called it my worst work hours before it dropped and more than half of my fanbase wildly misunderstood it, idk that i’d be rushing to feed the crowd chanting more either

It is really fascinating how TTPD's promo was just the Eras Tour, the Super Bowl, going to the zoo, and Coachella. No interviews, just the media doing it for her for free. For Showgirl, it's the podcast, her engagement, and football games. All to save her from the slog (and expense) of album promo.

Imma leave this here.

The Poet 🪶, The Showgirl 🐈 , and ME! 🌼 Three parts of one whole. fractured, lost, and stranded. haunted, divided, and then united. Three tragic tales in The Story of Us 📖

we need to stop centring ourselves in taylor’s narrative so much and start realising she has bigger fish to fry than “oH nO My FaNs ArE fIgHtInG” there’s a whole underlying commentary on the patriarchy and heteronormativity in there too that you’re all missing but it’s now 2am and i cbf explaining!

and I would add that the entire point of the Cinderella story (1950 Disney & French version) that she’s adapting from is that Cinderella transforms into someone she is NOT via a spell IN ORDER to go to the ball in the first place. When the clock strikes midnight she reverts back to her real self.

Taylor swift’s engagement post having twice as many likes than her post about reclaiming her masters catalog might become my new villain origin story

“I simply adore a marriage proposal. The single most defining thing a lady could hope to achieve in her lifetime. The prize of all prizes…”

this is what has me… she has so many beautiful love songs but we’re going with “touch me while your bros play grand theft auto…” “are you gonna marry kiss or kill me (kill me)…” …OKAY!

guys…

Woke up, thinking about the social media driven profit machine of rage bait and how most culture wars are manufactured rage bait and don’t actually impact people’s daily lives until they are told to be upset about it

getting emo thinking about teenage taylor saving money to purchase HER OWN music bc she knew from the very beginning she would have to. this is the first time in her career she has fully owned her music. no shareholders. no parents. no scooter. just taylor alison swift. finally.

not the blurple countdown lol

remember when Taylor said Red TV was her favorite rerecording and Travis doesn't know Red the song

"Actually Romantic" out October 3rd!!

woke up annoyed that we’re gonna have to explain the difference between flagging and easter egging to hetlors. i refuse to believe they don’t already understand

Actual footage of Taylor being very offline

this is it. this is exactly it and we best be paying homage to amber when it happens!

taylor using ai slop cat stickers on her fucking sourdough bags is actually gonna be the thing that makes me quit this fandom, i am aggressively turned off by it and gonna try to forget about it!! girl you HAVE CATS make your own fucking stickers what the hell

guys have we talked about this yet? look at taylor calling cut on “now” at the end

Taylor Swift is my therapist
