But he's anti-interventionist and deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, right? 🙄😒 So fucked 😞

I hate fireworks regardless, but I get that people like to set them off at midnight on New Year's. What I *don't* understand is why tf people started setting them off at 5:30 PM?! They weren't close or often enough to upset my dog at that point, but it's still only 9:30 and now it's constant. WHY 😭

The fact that I have to double check when a page on a government website was last reviewed so that I have a sense of whether or not the info has been messed with by the current administration... Will never not grind my gears 😒

Ok I'm still shielding myself from T Swift spoilers but I just needed to come somewhere to scream into the void. I've been procrastinating actually enrolling in health insurance for next year but I can't keep doing that if I want to be able to afford healthcare. So here I am doing it, but I'm MAD 😡

I'm not gonna be watching the concert/docuseries episodes til Saturday evening bc of when it worked out to gather with my friend so uh. It's gonna be rough trying to avoid getting on bluesky and just generally avoiding spoilers on the interwebs until then 😅

So I listened to this episode of Sounds Like A Cult yesterday, and they discussed how to effectively *reach* people within this group to get them to reconsider their politics. It made me think of the posts I'd seen on here hypothesizing that maybe Taylor has been going full "decoy Barbie"

one person said dress only sexualised her mind you the bridge is more romantic than anything taylor's written in recent years lets NOT 🔪

Repost with your affirmation of the day ♻️ "Slow down. I can only do one thing at a time."

Ok I imagine someone has already made this connection but with the merch drop/sale today, I couldn't help but notice ❤️‍🔥

Now that it's not being marked as graphic content anymore and you can actually see the post, I'm just gonna put this here bc I still can't get over this

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I really hate that I feel like I have to make a snap decision when Taylor drops merch. I want to stick it in my cart, let it sit for a few days and really decide if it's something I want before really going for it.

Alright so I've seen many iterations of Peter Pan and related movies. It's been a minute, but I remember the general plot. But I don't think I've ever read the book. Well, I started listening to Peter and Wendy, and wtf 🤯

Hey friends, I didn’t expect to have a financial need so soon into this, but I’m going to owe a substantial amount of money for the upcoming radiation treatment and I just don’t have it. Can you take a look and donate if you can, and share my post if you can’t? It would mean the world to me. 💖💖💖

I feel silly but I'm actually quite disappointed that I missed the merch drop. I wanted that door mat 😞

Bluesky keeps trynna put a label on one of my posts and hides the attached images. They're just a coupla pics of scenes from stranger things and the fortnight mv 🥲 I've submitted an appeal but what the heck?

So I know some people have drawn connections to Stranger Things. In anticipation of the new season, I started rewatching the series for a refresher, and this scene really stood out to me....

Y'all I was perusing eBay for sweaters and stumbled across this beauty 🩷🤍🧡 It's not what I'm looking for at the moment so I'm not going for it but figured I'd share in case any of you lovelies would want it 🫶

So if anyone has pictures of auroras from the last few nights, please don't be shy about sharing them. I always live just far enough away to miss out on them and am never able to make it work to travel to see them 🥲

Do I get the ivy sweatshirt or not? Ughhhh I hate that her stuff always sells out so fast. I usually let stuff sit in my cart for days before making a decision when clothes shopping online 🥲

Ummm THE LADDER

if anyone called me "Honey", it was standin' in the bathroom, white teeth, they were sayin' that skirt don't fit me and i cried the whole way home.

🧵 Everytime 🤝 Midnights + TTPD + TLOAS

The Tortured Poet 🤝 The Showgirl She paid her dues with every muse

I don't have time to add more context atm, but have we discussed the parallels between Britney's MV for Everytime and TTPD hallway + TLOAS bathtub? Also, the lyrics for Everytime feel parallel to Peter. Disclosure: I know Britney's recent memoir adds context to the song but I haven't yet read it

I dream of cracking locks, throwing my life to the wolves or the ocean rocks 🤝 It's 'bout to be the sleepless night you've been dreaming of You wrap around me like a chain, a crown, a vine, pulling me into the fire 🤝 My bedsheets are ablaze... Building up like waves crashing over my grave

Y'all have we discussed that during the LPSS credits when she and Jack are chatting, and he asks her what she named her home studio that she created for that album, she said Kitty Committee Studios?? I'm now seeing that it's listed as one of the studio locations on folklore but... !!!

So we all immediately drew connections between BDILH and The Little Mermaid... Ariel's dad(dy) = King Triton 🤝 The Crowd Is Your King

Y'all has this already been discussed?

You said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me 🤝 No longer drowning and deceived All because you came for me She changed her fate, she saved herself 😭

Soooooo Paolo Sebastian (designer of the beautiful sacred heart Odyssey gown in FOO MV) has posted his collection for this season and the description is…..READ IT PLEASE

The Man 🤝 Wi$h Li$t

Y'all I just need to say I love this little corner of the internet. Usually social media makes me anxious, but this here is so FUN seeing all the connections we are making with this album and the album rollout.

And the tracks are the shape of the Eras tour stage because she's still on stage

She is the man and has reached new heights of manhood as her dick is bigger because she was able to beat the men who tried to control her. She doesn't need to knock on wood for good luck because she doesn't believe in good luck. She played the men at their own game and won.

Fearless 🪞 TLOAS I've not kept track of all the mirror references but this feels relevant. Was this also the interview where she talked about artists' music being a mirror to the listener and whatever they're going through? She's done so many interviews they're starting to blur together for me

she said what she said 🤷

Ayo do we remember that she was getting tested on and receiving shock therapy in the Fortnight music video?? This album is post lobotomy Taylor. Its the end of fortnight when she’s all “happy”

It's still wild to me that the swifties who have always accused us of wanting Taylor to be miserable (when we don't, we've actually just been paying attention to her lyrics/art) are the same ones who are crashing out about her supposed muse's impact on her songwriting & how much they hate this album

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

always talking to herself this one

I wasn't planning to go to the theater to see the release party of a showgirl but I'm having a little bit of fomo. Should I do it? Is it worth seeing it on the big screen?

Opalite actually makes so much sense as a mutual bearding song. It is about travis but it's like 2 gay besties giving eachother advice on relationships and dealing with fame. They made their own sunshine cuz they built this whole cover together

When will I ever learn that I just need to take the day off of work on Taylor Swift album release days? I have to be up for work in 3 hours and I can never get to bed at a reasonable time when she drops a new album 🥲

Before y'all come for me with my track 5 ranking, just know it was painful to have to put any of them at the bottom, ok? 1. So Long, London 2. The Archer 3. Delicate 4. AYHTDWS 5. All Too Well 6. YOYOK 7. my tears ricochet 8. Cold As You 9. White Horse 10. Dear John 11. tolerate it

As thankful as I am that I was even able to get a COVID vaccine this year (despite the US govt's efforts to limit access), I really turn into a weak whiny baby with the side effects 🥲
