Didn't rly get into it til the Anthology--self-reflection fits this style much better than whining about boys. (Overall 7/10, Anthology 8/10)

Fave songs: #1 So High School, #2 Chloe or Sam..., #3 Peter (& The Bolter too @nmartinwriter.bsky.social !)

Aaron Rodgers is so past his prime, Chuck Schumer is saying he needs to step down.

Imagine what happens when Sophie gets home and finds out that the audience could easily tell her and Sophi apart. Because Sophi was Sophi and she was "Purple Sophie." #Survivor

Favorite (trash ship) moment of ep 7 was when Cory was like, "I hate Bradley, I'd leave her starving in the desert. I wouldn't give her any water. No, I'd totally use the water right in front of her." And Alex is like, "...sure, buddy, I can tell you 'hate' her." THERE'S HOPE YET! #TheMorningShow

ratingsgal Reviews T-Swift's Discography (Midnights):
Angsty heaven. Like if Alanis Morrisette wrote a techno album. Practically no skips until the 3AM version. (OG 9/10, w/3AM: 8/10).

Too many faves to count, but Anti-Hero is #1. That song is lyrical and sonic genius.

When it's good, it's v v good, but when it's bad, it's boring. A beautiful hot mess (and can't stand the title track). 7/10.

Fave songs: #1 Paper Rings, #2 Miss Americana..., #3 The Archer (been randomly humming Soon You'll Get Better, too).

ratingsgal Reviews T-Swift's Discography (Evermore):
Liked this a lot better. More musically interesting. Some lulls, but the catchy songs made up for it. More actual Indigo Girls vibes. 7.5/10.

Fave songs: #1 No Body, No Crime, #2 Long Story Short, #3 Marjorie (love my Gram, too!), #4 Willow

Good point!! (maybe I just find happiness harder to write lol) But I listen to her old stuff that people think was so ~deep and ~true, and I'm like, "yep, that sure is a 20something writing about love." Reminds me of my old fanfics that had to be ~innovative vs just telling a good story idk.

I found this reddit community who's v cynical about Travis Kelce b/c Taylor Swift didn't write ~deep, ~romantic songs about him. And while I'm not 1,000% convinced they're true love 5evah ... imo it's difficult to write about happiness. I actually think bad songs are a point in Kelce's favor.πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Quality of decisions made by CDC #vaccine advisers has nose-dived, former voting members say

Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices policymaking maturity rating fell from an overall score of 100% to 58% from April to September this year.

ratingsgal Reviews T-Swift's Discography (Folklore):
...fine? Won't replace my beloved Indigo Girls. And the Tumblr-circa-2005 lower-case titles are a bit much. Needs more melody. 6/10.

Fave songs: #1. August (not even close), #2 Cardigan, #3 The 1. (also, Mad Woman, b/c I relate heavily to it ;)

Beautiful Little Fools. A supposed fleshing out of the women in The Great Gatsby. Except by "fleshing out," it's more like "pigeonholing them into the most predictable boxes." No surprising insights! The same voice for all POVs. No digging deeper into character motivation. Bleh.

This is Just to Say

I have stolen
the gems
that were in
the Louvre

and which
you were probably
showing
to tourists

Forgive me
they were glittering
so easy
and so uninsured
