The truth is American exceptionalism is ingrained into our curriculum from day one. And once you realize that other countries citizens are happier, healthier, have more freedom, that facade starts to crack.

“Doctors want to keep people sick” is like saying “chefs want to keep people hungry.” It is a pure fallacy. I don’t take anyone seriously who cannot understand such a simple concept (babies can understand this).

🚨| Rolling Stone has ranked “folklore”as the 5th GREATEST album of the century so far, the highest-ranking for a recent release:

“Swift locked in during lockdown, telling her wittiest and most haunting tales, creating crystalline miniatures that sometimes spiral toward the sky

screenshot from the lyric video for So High School by Taylor Swift: [written in her handwriting font] cheeks pink [written in all caps white text, with T, K, T, S in pink] THE TWINKLING LIGHTS

screenshot of text, in italics: Use TK. This is the essential lubricant of the rough first draft. It’s a habit I learned from working as a reporter, but didn’t realize the novel-writing magic of it until I read this advice from Cory Doctorow. TK is an editing mark that means “to come” and is equivalent to leaving a blank or brackets in the text (It’s TK, not TC, because editorial marks are often misspelled intentionally so as not to confuse them with final copy: editors write graf and hed for paragraph and headline).

Travis Kelce’s initials will never not be funny to me. TK is used as placeholder text in a draft… or a blank space in a manuscript 🤭

I was 17 when debut came out

From the playlist Taylor made

The playlist Taylor made during lover & it's gay implications including "she's my sunshine" #friendsofdorthea #friendofdorthea #gaylor

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

The fandom betrayed her even though they "grew up" w/ her they bullied her into never putting a single out again over "Me!" added seeing how important it was to her & only a beautiful fool could handle no one caring about or looking into deeper meanings in their work bc there'd be none to find.

Yes! That part is what made me reflect on her mentioning "across the great divide there is a glorious sunrise dappled w the flickers of light from the dress I wore at midnight" foreshadowing "meet me at midnight"/lavender haze the first flicker of the real Taylor before daylight comes.

Be the perfect setting to write a song or two directly about & fans felt like they went through that moment with her & make up the rest of the relationship based on that. "Heartbreak is the national anthem we sing it proudly" yk?

"caught" crying by leaving her mascara running on purpose instead of washing it off maybe even smudging it more dramatically. Like the way all of the straight lore goes back to a specific event where she was either publicly seen crying or spoke on one specific fight/event publicly knowing it would

I randomly hyper fixate on a couple lines specifically of her songs at a time now & my mind is still blown connecting things differently/more😅 & the line right after is "we cry tears of mascara in the bathroom honey, life is just a classroom" that made me feel she's saying she leaned into being

Happiness was a letter to the fans & I'll die on this hill.

I'm going to repeat a post-Eras prediction I posted a long time ago on the bad app...

Big👏chop 👏💇‍♀️

But it can't be gay it's about the queer guy she went on 4 dates w like literally "blue dress on a boat!" There's a picture to prove it. Ignore lyrics "we show off our different Scarlett letters, we play dumb we know exactly what we're doing?" Or them teaming up to switch sides that's just freedom!🤔

If anything it looks like..crumpled up paper which idk would be too obvious instead they think Taylor wants to wed looking like a crumpled up ball of fabric w everyone guessing what color bodysuit she has on by looking at her undergarments she's forced to perform in peeking through to include them 😭

Idk seems like she likes gaylors 😌 #friendsofdorthea #friendofdorthea #gaylorswift #gaylor

"Since the tour started" was daylight on Midnights or the album from ten years ago & it's such a literal explanation too 😭😭😂 how are they just now noticing

I get it but I think we've co-opted that so deeply as the literal slang for our community that even if they're confused why we were right they associate Dorothy & oz WITH US & will hate pretending to understand this & be jealous we're thefriendsofdorthea & Taylor knows that too!

Just know they all are aware we have gone by friendsofdorthea for literally years & even if they don't admit it when they seek out to block us that's the tag that they know us by so for Taylor to keep doing this is really just an endorsement of her favorites 😌 which satisfies me lol

I'll stop being a Gaylor when Taylor Alison Swift stops being a Gaylor

She even got Taylor to finally put on some fuckin socks. (The 3rd pic of Taylor is what I was trying to find when I found all of this lol) #gaylor #friendsofdorthea #lgbetty

Who knew Karlie's been in a music video herself one with a lot of vinyls & smoky air clubbing contrasted w her dancing in not much at "home" girl she'd be my muse for a decade too, I mean come on 🥵 #kaylor #gaylor #friendsofdorthea #lgbetty

Gaylors: there's a lot of pink & orange in the eras visuals
Fans:🤬 gross she h8s you, stop!
Taylor: adds more
