A handful of people told me in undergrad that my degree in American history with a focus on labor movements was not a useful degree, but they were wrong then and they are ultra wrong now.

This is phenomenal! It is honest and painful. I felt the pride you feel teaching your students and could resonate with the exhaustion of still teaching these things when the world teaches the opposite 💜

Me: stops taking her vitamins, goes weeks without eating or drinking water at work, sleepless nights due to stress.

Also me: why is my hair falling out and I’m dizzy and can’t get out of bed?

One thing I will say FOREVER in regards to The Life of a Showgirl:
If your man doesn’t dickmatize you he shouldn’t be your man.

Oh I definitely agree with that! And (obvi) I like Taylor Swift and she’s allowed to make a bad album some of the songs just weren’t hits like I expected.

Just Jo @munsonjo.bsky.social · 4d

Yup. Like when she talks about having a couple kids and a basketball hoop in the driveway she’s not imagining a house like mine.

I don’t hate the new album, a lot of the songs don’t have the gut punch we’re used to.
No one asked me but I think her next move should be to release a TV Debut/Reputation vault mix, that would be album 13, and then start working behind the scenes.

I like the songs but I think it’s hard to write good emotional songs when you’re happy, fulfilled, and rich.
