I KNOW!! I was wishin’ & hopin’, so imagine the thrill when it was bestowed on me! It’s going to be so much FUN! 🤩

Free to Choose: On Taylor Swift, Trad Culture, Feminism, and the Wi$h Li$t Controversy Taylor Swift’s twelfth album, The Life of a Showgirl, dropped this past Friday and – like all things Taylor Swift – was welcomed with instant controversy. What particularly caught…

Here it is! It went long but I think these ideas are really important. I was so taken aback by the venom expressed so quickly on this so it felt deeper than just one song (I'll do cancelled separately and hopefully with less words lol):

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

i hope you DO come see me at Art & Music! I miss the kensington scene, but I’m really digging the new digs. I miss my people! Hey! I’m in charge of the zines! Wanna write a zine? We can collaborate on a brand new zine for the neurodivergent and hip! 🤩🤓😎🥹

aw c’mon! they let me wear a nice gown that opened at the back and exposed everything to everyone! It was a lovely gesture! It may have even had flowers on jt!

I know that shrieking and wringing one's hands every hour on the hour isn't going to accomplish anything, but every now and then it kicks in for me that the president of the United States is a maniac, and, to be honest, it's bothersome.

I don’t think there HAS been a time where they could’ve used those red cards/their 4th amendment rights. Also there’s no way we can hold these guys accountable for anything & no way of knowing if they are actually vetted employees or just loyal cult members with some sort of uniform. it bites.

such a friggin bummer 😣

Before Trump took office, a lot of
us madly printed red cards, in many different languages, explaining they didn’t need to open the doors to ICE. That was useless, wasn’t it? 🥺😤🤬

@brooklynmarie.bsky.social please run, don’t walk to your favorite #kensington-normalheights library to pick up two bookmarks I picked up for you at #sdcc Yes, they were free, but they were chosen with you in mind! ALSO i might have a sticker when I unpack more from my week. ❤️😃

BUT they DID give each person friendship bracelets and a map of the Tayloreverse

it wasn’t as good as if you had delivered it! I guess it’s a podcast? I’ll try to navigate it and let you know. The panel wasn’t as informative as i’d hoped it would be 😒

me: (gets on crowded trolley at SDCC w/walker. All disabled seats are taken by wheelchairs)
me: (pleads to the people not holding accessories) Um, could I get a place to sit, please?!
30ish dad guy: (gestures to disabled seats) The disabled seating?
me: They’re taken by disabled people?

i went to a panel today on the legend of Taylore - a D&D group based on #TaylorSwift lore! Thought of you 😌

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them WASHINGTON—With the elected officials trying their hardest not to move a muscle, reports confirmed Monday that top Democratic leaders in Congress were standing real still in hopes that the American people wouldn’t notice them. “Don’t make any sudden movements, or they’ll spot us,” Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said out of the corner of his mouth, […]

@sdccblog.com @sandiegocomic-con.bsky.social will there be a streamlined #SDCC this year with the #tariffs? I loved the #CovidCon, but that was just that one year. What can we expect?

happy bruno mars staring at pete wentz day to all who celebrate

Y’all gotta go read books. There’s no way around it.

Read books.
Form your own opinions.
LEARN THINGS.

READ BOOKS WHILE LIBRARIES ARE STILL AROUND

i am forever known by some friends and family as A-A-ron!

We ARE the world 😀

one of my best guy friends has been non-stop talking about CharlieXCX for literal years. I thought she was cool last night but there were so many great performances by women this show! I wish Taylor would work with more of them. I would love to hear what she and Janelle could do 🥰

You do not need to convince me! I love her so much and it sting to
not get an award for TTPD during the smallest man era, but hey we can all do it with broken hearts. I would have loved to hear her speech if she won! esp if it was announcing RepTV! 🥰❤️

i just watched Kendrick going up for his acceptance speech. The amount of the audience that must be singing along to “a minooorrrr” is pretty impressive! 😄
