No but why was the "Tayvis" ep named "Thank You For the Lovely Bouquet"?
The song's thesis is 1 nobody can love a showgirl (not even other showgirls), 2 "I'm married to the hustle" and 3 "pain, hidden by the lipstick and lace" AKA you don't know how bad it is cause I can tell you lies...????!?!

I'm so glad aroace people have gotten to the point of visibility of 22 year olds online calling it a trend. That's awesome! In my youthful days, they were just overpathologised and had crimes committed against them. Oh how far we've come as a society. Bigotry of "you're existing for attention" 🙄

Nearly three full weeks after the fire in the bedroom, we were able to sleep through the night as a family (two humans and two cats) in the bedroom. No fires, no pee accidents, and an unfortunate number of farts from the eldest cat. But a success that was unimaginable even five days ago

So far (15 minutes into the first episode) the only meaningful update I can give on my opinion of this docuseries is that my lovely children are extremely confused about whether I'm happy or sad and keep looking at me sideways from a safe distance (a sob and a cheer are equally likely to come)

"What state were you born in?"
"Kansas City"
"There are two Kansas City's. Which one?"
"The real one."
"Okay, you can pick up your birth certificate in Missouri."

Kansas City is older than MO but existed OUTSIDE KANSAS FOR A REASON. Nobody likes KCK 🤣

This is why work from home policies are important. If I didn’t work from home, how could I possibly startle my daughter so much that she forgets she’s a cat?

Just a quick reminder…

Not an excuse to be homophobic.

TS once said “people underestimate how much I will inconvenience myself to prove a point.”

She’s also ‘come out’ as a queer ally. If she is a straight woman, it appears she’s aligning herself with queer women explicitly to prove a true ally wouldn’t be offended by being perceived of as queer.

I just really underestimated how much of my adult life would be spent attempting to negotiate with an adult cat who somehow has both all the cards, leverage, and hands

We deserve a Democratic Party that is willing to fight as hard as we are.

We need new leadership in this moment and to get there, we need a chorus of support for change. Tell your Democratic senators to call on Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. It’s time for drastic action.
CALL NOW: Tell Your Democratic Senator It's Time for Chuck Schumer to Step Aside

Call your senators for people who can’t. Call Schumer. For everyone who is working 2+ jobs, for every child, for every person who cannot. For the people who voted for this. Because healthcare is a human right. And we must do everything we can, even if they won’t. We must be better than our senators
This is true for many who require health insurance to live and work. ACA premium tax credits are essential. Health care is already too expensive. www.americanprogress.org/article/aca-...

THIS IS NOT OVER PLEASE PLEASE DONT GIVE UP. If all you have left is a primal scream, Chuck Schumer’s phone number is 202-224-6542. Hold your scream until the line connects! They are worthless cowards, so we need to show them that the GOP isn’t the thing to be feared. It is US. WE protect the family

New from me in @newrepublic.com: “Primary Every Democrat.”

If the current crop cannot demonstrate they care more about democracy than enjoying three-day weekends, we should flood the zone and challenge them all.
Primary Every Democrat
It’s exhausting to watch poll-tested, donor-beholden congressional Democrats continue to be too old, too cloistered, and too bumbling to do anything as the government burns.

Lyrics are currently unavailable on Apple Music for Delicate - track 5 of Reputation. Today is rep’s birthday (release date 11/10/17).

You know what else is delicate? Human rights. Don’t let your senators know a moment of peace. Stream rep while screaming at your senators to REPRESENT US

A month with this album and I’m just so completely reminded of Lover.
The parallels I’m seeing
Lover = wish list
Cornelia Street = Honey
Death By a Thousand Cuts = Elizabeth Taylor
Cruel Summer = The Fate of Ophelia?

And without any evidence or proof

Paper Rings = Opalite

Food is a human right. Everyone should have access to food.

That said, when someone’s carelessness or entitlement leads to another person’s food insecurity, I do selfishly want that careless entitled person to, like, go to bed hungry for a maximum of one night. In a “bedtime without dinner” way

I’d just like to remind everyone which celebrity was donating to food pantries during her tour. Which celebrity participates in mutual aid. Which celebrity donates to hospitals to ensure people are getting access to healthcare. Which one donated to Palestine in 2023.

Her name is Taylor Swift.

Mmkay. Just because something looks like a dogwhistle doesn’t mean it’s 1 intentionally a dogwhistle 2 the person who is wearing it is a member of the dog group or 3 only the dogs can use the whistle

That’s not how dogwhistles work. I’d love it if we could move to step 2 of this discussion. Any day

Since this page is 80% Taylor Swift cold takes and 20% me saying things to the void that I can’t say to the person who it’s directed at - the reason I call my great uncle “some guy” is because he murdered my great aunt for trying to leave his worthless ass and then at 35 yrs old, married a teenager.
Also if I’m gonna hype my great grandfather, I’m gonna hype the women. L->R: my gran!, ggf, my great grandmother (my youngest cat is named after her, she taught herself chemical engineering while raising her daughters because “she was bored during nap time”), my great aunt (a physicist!), some guy

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, does someone have to know they’re a Nazi to be one? There are so many online leftists who are, at this point, rabid for violence toward the most marginalized… and you can tell lies online… we knew ableism would make fascists of most people. And yet…..
October 13, 2025 at 9:08 PM
Oh my god let the “Taylor Swift is racist” line die. Is she? Who gives a fuck!! Are you?!

My family’s fav TS albums:
My gran loves the song Opalite
My great grandfather would have kicked down every door to screamsing the bridge of The Smallest Man
My great gran would have been a rep girlie. New Years Day old romantic
My great aunt… probably evermore with a magnetic draw to Lavender Haze

My grandfather was raised Lutheran (conservative, classic) and this photo is from his confirmation that he did not follow through with because he was disgusted by the antisemitism in the church doctrine. His work during the wars was successful because he was undetected by the govt as a threat.
In moving my grandmother to senior living, I acquired a ton of photos of her family. This is the last man to have my last name. He was a chemical engineer in the 1940s, and if he had social media back then, people would consider him a MAGA loser (he was not). Social media is not real life, remember.
