The first sentence of this critique:

“The packages arrived square and thin and carefully wrapped on Saturday afternoon.”

Even criticism can be someone’s art.

“We don’t have to approach and criticize this album as art, because it isn’t art. The Life of a Showgirl is made of Shein quality rip-offs of other people’s songs that are constructed shoddily and sold in ginormous quantities. Art takes time and care. This is profit. It’s content.”

WHEW.

The packages arrived square and thin and carefully wrapped on Saturday afternoon. There were three of them, but only one was mine. If I could have rejected my package, sent it back from whence it came...

I was quoting an article written by someone else, a longtime Swift fan, in fact. But your response says a lot about you.

I had a roommate who was obsessed then moved to just drinking Kahlúa straight.

Let me tell you, a dorm room cannot handle the smell of someone throwing up straight Kahlúa all night.

I didn’t go to college but when I think (way) back to my White Russian phase, it definitely lines up.

Saeed Jones @theferocity.bsky.social · 11h

*PTSD flashbacks ensue* Why do college students always randomly get obsessed with making White Russians for a semester? Same thing happened with me. Whew, god. How I got over!!!

In undergrad my friends and I had a tradition that we’d always end the night with White Russians at this one particular bar before last call. Did we tap into a shared experience without knowing? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
