it's also the same guy behind this WSJ op-ed:

CHAPPELL ROAN via Instagram (April 23, 2024)

Details on Omar As'ad's murder

the stuff going on at columbia campus rn is genuinely incredible

despite mass arrests by NYPD and several students (including rep ilhan omar’s daughter, isra hirsi) being suspended for their participation and having their university identification deactivated, the gaza solidarity encampment is still going strong well into its second day. def recommend following independent reporter talia jane who is taking part and providing live updates. (talia was the first reporter to break aaron bushnell’s self immolation in february; she was one of the reporters he contacted personally prior to the protest.)

thank you so much alexa @shivsblunt for mentioning it…..anyone who wants to contribute to their jail support fund can do so @ bcabolitioncollective on v*nmo. also, if anyone is in the area and available to join (via cssw4palestine on ig):

that last one particularly, there have been more children killed this year in gaza than the rest of the world COMBINED for the last FOUR YEARS

all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.

Isn’t Lady Gaga bisexual?

yes that is indeed why she's on the list of famous women who like women

why have multiple people reblogged this with some horse-assed "um actually most of these people are bi or pan" did I fucking stutter I said they like girls. what is your point. I'm going to kill you.

#op probably has this post muted but the icon is too real.

the icon is because of this post

POV: you make a good post and then encounter tumblr reading comprehension

btw to just clarify for anyone who sees this reblog of this post

op is basically saying something along the lines of "yea ik taylor swift is bi but like. why is she y'all's only lgbtq+ pop icon when there are all these other lgbtq+ people in the pop scene???"

i might have worded this badly but hopefully i got the main point across

hi op here I certainly did not fucking say Taylor Swift is bi

Op is saying that liking Taylor for being QUEER or Lgbtqia+ is not a bad thing, but to also know she is not the only one.

He did not call anyone in the original post lesbian bi or pan.

He did call two people NB

you have to be fucking with me there's no way

#Op you gonna have to make a graph

on it:

you wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me

this will probably never be my favorite album and these won't be my favorite songs, but TTPD has some great lines that might be my favorites after I get to gnaw on them for a while and this release was so fun and interesting. Had the time of my life solving puzzles with you

there is not a single coherent thought in my head, i will need 3 - 5 business days to process this

Also the double album truthers being right was not on my 2024 bingo card but it FUCKING HAPPENED???

me trying to assess and comprehend the lyrics of ttpd while process the fact that she dropped 31 absolutely gutwrenching songs that are so cohesive knowing damn well each one means something so intricate to her personal life while trying to figure out how these songs fit with my own life also while yelling over the double album drop being real not knowing which song to listen to again or which one is my favorite or how to go to sleep or how to be normal around other people for the foreseeable future like

she was like BUT DO YOU KNOW WHAT PISSES ME OFF THE MOST?

spotify automatically playing good luck babe right after ttpd LOLLLLLLLL

'woah, maybe i can't' at the end of i can fix him (no really i can) is crazy. she's insane. that's why it's a psych ward.

WHAT (and i cannot express this enough) THE FUCK!!!

The Tortured Poets Department is like if folklore and Reputation had a baby and I think that’s fantastic.

i can't believe we were right about a double album i feel insane
