hey everyone!
if you’ve noticed i’ve been more inactive, here’s part of the reason why:
i’m going to have to turn off my inbox and close it to asks. i really didn’t want to do this but between a random spur of hate (and slut shaming?) and an overwhelming amount of bots asking for money i’m going to have to.
i know many people affected by the war in Gaza have been using inbox asks to spread awareness and look for resources. However it has gotten to the point where i cannot differentiate between real people and bots, and frankly I do not think it’s a serious way to spread awareness.
That being said: I personally condemn the war in Gaza and Palestine right now, it is genocidal and a bleakly dark time in human history. Those who stay silent and turn away are complacent and complacency is shameful. I wish there was more I could do other than publically speak out against it, but I am only one girl.
The following are some actual resources to make a difference in this war. If you want me to be candid, Tumblr asks are NOT an influential or professional enough place to fight a literal war. I can’t believe that even has to be said.
Learn About the Crisis in Gaza: https://afsc.org/crisis-gaza?ms=WEB24NB0523PI
Donate to the United Nations Crisis Relief:
Learn how to peacefully protest:
Donate to the World Centeal Kitchen in Gaza:
For Followers in the US here is how to contact your Congressman and make change within your community (what I believe to be the most effective use of activism):
Educate yourself more on the Palestinian conflict:
Support Palestinian Refugees:
Thank you for reading this. I urge anyone who comes across this on their dash uses it as an opportunity to educate yourself and make an actual difference within your community. And I mean your literal community. Not just the internet. Get out and make a change in your own streets, cities, schools and communities.

Hi tumblr people help me out please I have some old chest binders that I want to donate but I live in a US state that is not queer friendly and I’m worried if I donate them to my local regular donation spots they’ll just get thrown away so where can I donate some chest binders? Any queer organizations that accept those kinds of donations?
Hello, I hope you and your family are well. Can you please help me recycle the post on my account? 🌺 And help rescue my family from the war in Gaza? 🙏 Thank you.

We have the opportunity in the next 50-100 years to push AI in the direction of robots that do our housework while people make art but instead we’re headed down the path of AI making art while people do housework
I can’t believe that anyone is aware of censorship and their first reaction is to be like “it must not be important if it’s being kept from people!” Like you do know it’s being kept from you to keep you complicit, right?

So is she referencing reputation vault tracks with the line in Guilty As Sin?
“I keep these longing locked in lowercase inside a vault”
Or maybe Folklore/evermore vault tracks? (Because even though those won’t have TVs, there are probably still songs that were written for but not added to those albums
Just a thought
Heard Style (stolen version) in the mall today. What a mindfuck that was
No specific order, these are my favorites
Guilty As Sin?- the end of the bridge where it’s just this beautiful chorus of Taylors singing in harmony, kinda like in Don’t Blame Me but like this beautiful dreamy version of it, and the long drum fill before perfectly jumping back into the original rhythm? Literally makes the whole song
So High School- this is a rock song, this is something that if I heard sung by a young Paul McCartney, I’d believe was a Beatles song. Incredibly clever lyrics and such a fun, happy song
But Daddy I Love Him- The parellels to Love Story are so incredible, and with one of the catchiest choruses she’s ever written! Also love the lyricism in this one sooo much, the epitome of girlish and yet badass at the same time
Peter- the first one I attempted to play on piano and sing just to feel that chorus in my chest, I’ve never experienced the relationship between Taylor and this muse but I can still feel the yearning in that chorus’ melody
Who’s Afraid Of Little Old Me?- this was actually the first one that made me cry (I was stoned of my rockers for the first listen, it was celebratory) I couldn’t believe how transparent and real she was being, and it was so sad to think that she feels like a monster because that’s how people have made her feel. It’s such a great song
I Can Do It With A Broken Heart- once again the transparency, I’ve never experienced another modern artist who was so deeply telling about their personal and intimate experiences. It is the most fun song on the album and the lyrics are so hilariously delivered. It’s like Bejewled (Taylor’s Version)
The Black Dog- I love the premise of the song, what a great thing to write about! Incredible lyrics, I love how she can just make normal conversation fee so natural in a melody. She just took a single thought she had, “how do you not miss me in the black dog?” And then sang it to the first chord she played, and made it a chorus, and THEN tells a whole imaginary story of what she sees when she puts herself in the scenario as a bystander. “When someone plays the starting line, and you jump up, but she’s too young to know this song” it’s just a whole train of thought set to a melody, and the end of the chorus is equally significant, closing the thought out so we’ll “old habits die screaming” there is so much volume in that statement. Easily a masterpiece
Those are my favorites and a few words about them sorry there are 2 extras!
happy 1 week of TTPD!!🤍 if you see this reblog with your top 5 songs!

who’s afraid of little old me?
For a moment I was having a stroke 🥰 now I’m down bad cryin at the gym 🤪
Knowing that she was depressed as FUCK when I saw her in Houston makes me very happy that I’ll see her again in New Orleans now that she’s much happier
Who’s afraid of little old tay tay? (They should be)
do you think men get scared when taylor swift releases new music
So High School is…a rock song….it’s a rock song.
She dipped that quill in a glitter ink bottle for this one
AANNNNDD FRESH OUT THE SLAMMER HAS BELL CHIMES!!! Like a huge clock? 🕰️
I also think the songs are in an order of each “era” of her life with him. Not necessarily lyrically, but as far as style, it sounds like each album in order from Rep and on
The Tortured Poets Department: TTPD, like a prologue?
My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys: reputation vibes with hints at “This is why we can’t have nice things” ? It’s like the grownup version of it?
Down Bad: Lover vibes, even in the vocals? Reminded me of Cornelia street a little, I don’t know why exactly (I’ve only listened through once and I’m not finished at all)
So Long, London: FOLKLORE VIBES with the harmonies!! It reminded me of a mixture of closure and epiphany!
… But Daddy I Love Him: I was thinking, if the pattern continues it’ll have evermore vibes with some little guitars AND THE GUITARS STARTED so yes evermore for this one
So will Fresh Out The Slammer have Midnights vibes? Has she been dressing for revenge lately?

Love Story is how she imagined not getting to marry the love of her life would feel like, while But Daddy I Love him is how the scenario actually played out all these years later
It sucks being brought up to believe you live in the “good guy” country just to get older and find out that you actually live in the “bad guy” country
In the USA, the average cup size for women is 34DD
So why don’t swimsuit companies accommodate this? Why is it that anyone who has a B cup or smaller can go to basically any department store and find an easy and affordable swimsuit, but when I want one, I have to go search the ends of the earth for a swimsuit that will accommodate my dimensions for like $200.
How does a society that supposedly prefers busty women not accommodate busty women in the slightest?

In the future, children will think our ways are strange. "Why do old people always grow so much milkweed in their gardens?" they'll say. "Why do old people always write down when the first bees and butterflies show up? Why do old people hate lawn grass so much? Why do old people like to sit outside and watch bees?"
We will try to explain to them that when we were young, most people's yards were almost entirely short grass with barely any flowers at all, and it was so commonplace to spray poisons to kill insects and weeds that it was feared monarch butterflies and American bumblebees would soon go extinct. We will show them pictures of sidewalks, shops, and houses surrounded by empty grass without any flowers or vegetables and they will stare at them like we stared at pictures of grimy children working in coal mines
Recently my brother came into the living room singing Back To December and he said “that song has been stuck in my head, I asked my coworkers if they knew that song, 🎵I go back to December all the time🎵 and none of them knew it. It must be a deep cut.”
I told him it kinda is, I was surprised he knew it, and I know he only knows it because of me. Then he said “the only other song of hers that I know is that one that goes like, something about the Milky Way?” And I said, “you’re thinking of her live cover of Drops Of Jupiter from the Speak Now tour.” He only knows that because of me too, and he said “damn! So that’s like an old LIVE deep cut! I guess I’m a swiftie now!”
