fearless is written twice on the wall (in white, then in red on top of it), karma is written 3 times (in black, with orange on top, and then below that in white), and 1989 is also represented twice (in dark blue and in white). here's what that would look like viewed from the other side of the wall

a chaotic image i can't really sum up based on my theory of the other side of the wall

"tone-deaf and hot let's fuckin off her" is referring to the fans who aren't picking up on the sarcasm lol

this feels relevant

I've been thinking lately about how books, videos, and other forms of art need generous audiences. When I first read The Great Gatsby in high school, I ABSOLUTELY LOATHED it.
Looking back, the problem was not Gatsby but its reader, who could not summon the generosity of spirit to imagine the characters with much richness or complexity, despite there being plenty of nuance on the page.
Meanwhile, mediocre art can be made great by a reader/viewer who arrives willing to share their deepest selves with the story. In fact, I think the definition of great art is maybe, "Something made great by the vulnerability and care of an audience."

wait but lol you're onto something maybe, if she uses her cats to represent different sides of herself and benji is her inner child/wild boy, "now you're home" hits different

my fave journalist @kattenbarge.bsky.social wrote a well researched and kind article abt the gaylors when the backlash to the engagement was at its peak.

def go support her and give it a read!

(she has other excellent takes as well, & she’s pro woman / pro victim)

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.
