theseerbetweenus asked:

I just wanted to speak out/rant if thats fine.

Taylor is a billionaire. She is white. She came from a rich family. She has fans that would literally clean up her crimes if she asked them to.

It's almost ridiculous how some fans portray her as 'a saviour', 'sinless, sweet girl'. Mind you, she in her mind 30s.

I love Taylor's music and the persona she has up for the media but you can't deny that she isn't all that very truthful.

She herself said that anti hero and midnights as a whole is one of her most honest and truthful works yet. She clearly states in antihero that she is narcissist who disguises it as altruism, she indirectly said that she does twist the narrative. Despite her confessing this herself (a few) swifties will defend her yet again for miniscule matters.

I am not a Taylor anti and probably never will be but I accept that media can easily be falsified. It baffles me how rare media literacy is nowadays.

baby-girl-aaron-dessner answered:

This is a safe space for ranting sweet anon. I agree with you, especially on your point about how strange it is that her fans insist on the narrative that she's a saint despite the fact that she admits to having flaws. For example, on anti-hero she references her narcissism and on Getaway Car she confesses to being in a PR relationship and cheating.

Also strange how they infantilise a 34 year old woman so that they can perceive her as the epitome of faultless. However, it seems like she's happy to go along with it. After all, she profits from her cult and their blind fanaticism.

This narrative is pushed by a lack media critical thinking (and media literacy as point out) as well as wilful ignorance. It's easier to feed into a culture of celebrity worshipping and extreme parasocial relationships.

It's frustrating to witness this toxic stan culture so feel free to rant about it whenever you need <3

#taylor swift #I'm a big fan of hers and I 100% agree with this

“Did you see the tik tok I sent you?” lol but besides the brain rot we all do from time to time it’s still best to take a break from your phone when you find yourself wondering over there for hours the second a hint of boring pops up (like me ;-; lol) I’ve been trying to get into the habit of putting my phone away from me because literally out of sight out of mind.

A brief moment of rationality from the bird place.

Back in the 90s, there was a story in the LA Times that a boy sent me, saying it was right up my alley. This was the only good thing to come out of our relationship. Full link below (ignore the bible tag; it's the only site I could find it on), but this part always stuck with me:

"Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to savor, not endure. I'm trying to recognize these moments now and cherish them.

I'm not "saving" anything; we use our good china and crystal for every special event-such as losing a pound, getting the sink unstopped, the first camellia blossom. I wear my good blazer to the market if I feel like it. My theory is if I look prosperous, I can shell out $28.49 for one small bag of groceries without wincing. I'm not saving my good perfume for special parties; clerks in hardware stores and tellers in banks have noses that function as well as my party-going friends.' "Someday" and "one of these days" are losing their grip on my vocabulary. If it's worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now."

Over the years, remembering this story has made me braver. That's led to all my good adventures, even the ones that ended is disaster.

Some day is today. Book a flight. Ask someone out. Make your art. See a play. Drink the good coffee/wine. Order dessert first. Connect with people, no holds barred. Life is too short for anything other than an unfettered yes. Care fiercely. Love wildly.

And another thing!

This quote from Ted Hughes, in a letter to his son, Nicholas:

“The only calibration that counts is how much heart people invest, how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated. And the only thing people regret is that they didn't live boldly enough, that they didn't invest enough heart, didn't love enough. Nothing else really counts at all.”

He's right. And that's been something I have carried around for years, too. Hughes is one of my favorites. (I have his book of collected letters, and it's incredible.)

Invest your heart. <3

let 👏 bisexual 👏 girls 👏 love 👏 boys

what

i--started-a-joke

LET 👏 BISEXUAL 👏 GIRLS 👏 LOVE 👏 BOYS

who’s stopping them

Lesbians who say they’ll never date a girl that has touched a man. People that say bi girls will cheat because they’re bi. There’s so much biphobia not only with straight people, but in the gay community

my lesbian friends who told me they were “high-key disappointed” when i started dating a cishet boy. my ex girlfriend who asked me “wait weren’t you gay” and then when i explained i was bi went “um. ew lol”. the whole “gold star lesbian” bullshit. can we face the biphobia in the lgbt community instead of shoving it under the rug lol

I’ve seen and reblogged this for the boy version as well, so it’s only fair if I do it for girls as well!!
