Category is: a photo you’ve never seen before because my dad took it. 🥰

Chloe et al. @deafglitterpen.bsky.social · Apr 5

Long live the walls we crashed through,
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you,
I was screaming, "Long live all the magic we made,"
And bring on all the pretenders,
One day, we will be remembered

A blurry cell phone photo of Taylor Swift emerging from the stage to sing Enchanted during the Speak Now segment of the Eras Tour. She is wearing a sparkly ball gown that makes her look like a princess and the whole stage is glowing in purple.

I get it, you wish we were all still forced into institutions so you never have to think about us.

Disability is truly the last legal form of segregation in this country.

….i really hate when the only thing people can say about disabled kids is that they’re “aggressive” and “violent.” Miss me with your ableist bs.

Unless you were actually in special ed at any point, I truly don’t want to hear it. You have no idea what it was like to grow up segregated.

The morning after the Halloween party, Harley wakes up with Noah in her apartment after he spent the night on her couch. (This story’s actually set on Halloween, for anyone who’s curious 👀)

I assume she’s not at the Detroit vs. KC game tonight?

Chloe et al. @deafglitterpen.bsky.social · 1h

Oh you’re so real for this. I have never partaken ever and I never plan to. Like I’m cool with people doing it around me but I don’t like the smell.

No seriously I’m hoping it’s something the whole fandom can enjoy like on streaming. I thought she said she needed a break from touring on a recent radio interview really hoping it’s not that.

I’ve seen it so I’m going to keep my lips firmly sealed but yeah

Chloe et al. @deafglitterpen.bsky.social · 6h

They must’ve had some of the merch sitting in a warehouse near you is all I can figure. Mine just say label created.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

OOOOOOOH 👀

Chloe et al. @deafglitterpen.bsky.social · 9h

Yes!

Chloe et al. @deafglitterpen.bsky.social · 10h

Yes!!

Chloe et al. @deafglitterpen.bsky.social · 11h

That’s so real of you! I was there but being legally blind the eras tour film on Disney actually showed me more of all the little details than I would ever have seen with my own two eyes 😆

Chloe et al. @deafglitterpen.bsky.social · 11h

Or will it 🤔 maybe she kept it as a souvenir for just this purpose 😆

1 1

Chloe et al. @deafglitterpen.bsky.social · 11h

Same!! I need more details on how all the moving bits and pieces worked! And I’d like high def footage of TTPD

Chloe et al. @deafglitterpen.bsky.social · 11h

She did say that! Which is why I’m leaning towards documentary as well. I sent this before I’d had my coffee but documentary seems the most likely

Chloe et al. @deafglitterpen.bsky.social · 11h

Yeah. That’s why I’m trying not to get too excited.

Chloe et al. @deafglitterpen.bsky.social · 11h

You have a point! I don’t think it’s a tour but I’m prepared to eat my words. 😆
