Dear Taylor,

I don’t know if you’re on tumblr that much anymore but I have a question. I’m an international fan and couldn’t get a signed CD. I’m not here to ask you to send me one because that’d be unfair to ever other international fan.

I saw that you always drew a heart next to you signature and I really want to get it tattooed. However I don’t want to choose just any heart on any CD so here’s my question/request. Could you just draw a heart and post it, reply to my post or send it to me via private message (here or on twitter @/the1august_ or ig @/barbarairene.k).

It would honestly make my year. I’ve been wanting to get a tattoo for a while now but nothing seemed special enough but your music is so special to me and I would love to have something that reminds me of your beautiful words when I’m not listening to them.

I don’t even know if this will ever reach you but if it does and you read this, whether you send me the picture or not. I love you and your music so much.

lot of love,

Barbara

i did a presentation on taylor in my arranging class. We had to pick a songwriter and analyse max 4 songs and then figure out how one could write a song like them or what one would have to do. I chose Taylor because she’s a huge inspiration and I want to write as good as her. I wish I had even a fraction of her songwriting talent. it went so well. i was kind of nervous. everytime i played the song for the class so they could hear what i just told them i relaxed. i wish i could’ve done more than 4 songs. i did all too well, getaway car, yntcd and betty. i also would’ve wanted to include one from her debut album and speak now.

Yeah, that doesn't prevent pregnancy.

Dfgajagakala it’s so you don’t get a UTI 😂

*facepalm* So, given that sex ed in the US is a tire fire:

Vagina-having people have a shorter urethra, which means we’re more prone to UTIs because the bacteria doesn’t have to travel as far to get up into your bladder and cause a problem.

Which means if you’re exposing your bits to bacteria (as with sex), peeing will flush out bacteria in the urethra. (Urine isn’t actually sterile - that’s a myth - but you’re *supposed to* have a little bit of bacteria - that’s how bodies work. But it still flushes things out that shouldn’t be there.)

Oh! You should ALSO pee after you masturbate, especially if it involves penetration with fingers/toys/etc

So I’ve blocked like five transphobes on this post, which I feel should have been relatively uncontroversial.

If you’re one of the people saying “You meant ‘women’”, fuck you. I meant “people who have a vagina, regardless of their gender or lack thereof”, and you can go fuck yourself with a cactus.

And you should pee afterward, so you don’t get a UTI.

damn, I just thought it was about rain down in Africa, I didn’t know it could get deep. Tell me, how do you interpret the lyrics in Africa by Toto?

Seems like a bit of a reach ngl

K, I’ll give it a look

Me reading this thread:

africa by toto is about a werewolf

Okay this is the fucking plottwist of the century

I don’t want to be the guy who’s like ACKSHUALLY but you’ve unlocked a special interest so here goes:

There’s an interview with Jeff Porcaro where he talks about how Africa is about a “cracker white boy” who reads a bunch about Africa and then decides he knows everything about it. The words are intentionally vague because the whole thing is a pisstake. He talks about how missionaries were going around just blessing everything they could get their hands on. The whole song is just essentially “lmao white people”

Someone please write a song about local wereanimsls eating the missionaries.

I spent the afternoon arranging our books by size and color (and it’s so satisfying and looks amazing) and my partner came home and stared in shock at the bookcase and then said “i’m a librarian, you can’t do this.”

him: you split up all the song of ice and fire books

me: yeah i know, they’re all primary colors, it’s perfect

him: [self-destructs]

You’re a monster

As a former bookstore employee, this hurts my soul. I mean, sure it looks nice, but how do you find anything?

it has occurred me during this process that apparently not everyone thinks about books by what color they are? like, literally when i’m looking for a book, i picture it in my mind. i have a very…tactile experience with the books i read and idk! i thought everyone did that lol.

my partner was like “how will i find [this book] for instance” and i replied “easy, it’s purple” and he looked at me like i was a witch.

I work (and walk) on a college campus. I’ve lost count of how many men I’ve smacked shoulders with.

Recently, I was standing outside my son’s classroom waiting to talk to his teacher. I stood on one side of the hallway, not even close to the center. At some point, a man came walking along. I was standing right in his path, but the hallway was empty, so I logically expected him to swerve around me. Instead he kept walking right toward me, got to me, and stopped, as if waiting for me to get out of his way. I didn’t; I just smiled politely at him. He finally walked around me, clearly annoyed that I hadn’t leapt out of his manly path.

Now I’m wishing I’d leapt aside, taken off my jacket and laid it on the floor before him, then bowed deeply and said, “My Liege!”

I also work at a college campus. I smack shoulders sometimes, but I find that if I stare straight ahead and follow the advice below, people get the heck out of the way.

Honestly this post changed how I carry myself when walking alone in public, or in a situation where I’m the one leading. People definitely move for the murder gaze.

Confirmed. I once had to rush back inside a convention hall as the con was closing in order to a retrieve a sick friend’s medication, and I didn’t understand why people in the crowd were jumping out of my way (literally—one guy vaulted a table) until I realized I was dressed as the Winter Soldier and doing the Murder Walk because that’s just how I walk in those boots. I got the meds, got out, and made a mental note.

I repeated the experiment later, wearing the boots but otherwise my usual clothing and mimicking the expression I thought I’d had at that moment. People parted like I was Charlton Heston.

I now wear that style of boots whenever possible. I recently had a man do a double-take as I walked by and ask me, politely, where I had served because I “looked like a soldier.” I’m not current or former military. I was wearing a flowy purple peasant top and looked as un-soldierlike as possible.

Moral of the story: wear comfortable shoes, square your shoulders, and walk like you’ve been sent to murder Captain America.

WALK LIKE YOU’VE BEEN SENT TO MURDER CAPTAIN AMERICA

It’s called the Murder Strut.

IT’S BACK!!!!!! I was searching for this to show my daughter the other day and couldn’t find it. I’m so glad IT’S BACK!! I will always reblog the Murder Strut!!

A guy on a bike went around me because he could tell I had no intention of moving. Thanks to this post.

One day and I bumped into a guy while doing the Murder Strut and he apologized to me even though I was the one who had bumped into him.

It works wonders.

In case you were wondering, yes you can do this in a wheelchair. Same look in your eyes and let ‘em know you will run them down. Just picture yourself in a sports car accelerating towards someone with the intention of flattening them.

If there’s anything more satisfying than watching Abled men leap out of my way when they realize I’m not moving for them, I can’t think of it atm.

as a ball of compressed rage i can attest the murder strut indeed does wonders

I never thought to combine the Murder Strut with the top of this post, but I am SO. GLAD. someone did.
