If it makes it suck less: I started a paid subscription because you moved.

I would like to thank Calvin Klein, the first circuit, and estrogen for my ability to avoid the TSA genital inspection this morning.

I never wore anything, but I do have a friend who loves perfumes that was trying to get me to wear some of them. She couldn't understand why I wanted all the floral ones and none of the masculine ones or why they smelled so good on me until I came out to her a month or two later.

I love to be browsing the internet in the morning and see that a brand some of my friends like is accidentally horribly transphobic. It’s clearly a “fail to consider that trans people exist” situation, but it really stung this weekend for some stupid reasons.

That really surprises me. I really like a lot of her music, but I’m not very intense about it. I have a handful of super hardcore friends, but, based on my conversations with my yoga friends, it seems like maybe swifties are a smaller subset of the general population than I thought.

And now I’m paying you $8 a month for these thoughts apparently. That was really great!

That’s kind of swift on security’s whole thing. Other than the TSwift jokes.

My take was more that she got the tone wrong and missed the point of the song.

Most of lover was hornier than Wood, especially False God.

If the sex was good the song would have been horny.

I think if he was then “Wood” would have actually been horny.

I am still seeing some praise for it, which is confusing me. Dogwater is a compliment. But I’m apparently a little combative today, so don’t trust my opinions.

My next Taylor Swift hot take is that when she referred to her finance’s dick as a “magic wand,” it’s because she misinterpreted “Red Wine Supernova.”

Also, the first time I listened to “Father Figure” my initial thought was, “does she know she’s ripping off George Michael? That was while I was driving to work though.

I completely agree with you! We may be having totally different feelings about this album, but “Wood” was so bad that I just gave up and deleted the whole album off of my phone.

I feel like if this is a “happy” album then she’s leaving a lot on the table…

Wait, she went back to Max Martin for this one and it still sucks this bad???? We can’t even blame Jack Antanoff for this?????

If you think Taylor Swift’s shitty ode to the male penis is awful, may I suggest the entire album “No Hard Feelings” by The Beaches?

I have to say though, writing an entire song about a penis that is LESS HORNY THAN A COLD SHOWER probably takes a lot of skill.

Hey @jael.bsky.social, remember how I offered to buy some ekko tickets for trans folks/+1s at some of your shows? How do I do that?

My struggle is stress related, not knowledge or skills related, but I’ve been doing better lately!

Wow, I don’t love that framing! But 2-2.5 years.

It was my understanding that part of the “body fat redistribution” was based on some existing cells growing, and others being consumed, along with new cells being created. It’s not only new cells. But that may just be character limits and semantics.

I need a better diet…

So, my background is in engineering, so while I can read and interpret papers and draw conclusions, things that don’t have solid research are a little beyond my skill set. That said, most of what you wrote makes a hell of a lot of sense to me.
