I read the article so you don't have to.

From one writer and Swift fan to another, I get that subjectivity is the name of the game with music, but genuinely if you assert that "Bad Blood" stuck more in the cultural zeitgeist than "Blank Space", you probably don't know enough to be writing this

Went looking for this to save because I was applying for jobs last night and after an hour of scrolling through websites and only applying to three jobs total I cried myself to sleep, all I could see was the corporate liturgy of "required qualifications" and feel like I had nothing of use at all

I am a witch’s nephew so that’s got to count for something right?

Kerry I am trying very hard not to resort to low-hanging fruit innuendo but by God you are making it difficult

I have a book planned about a lesbian couple heavily inspired by the two of you so I will be stealing this anecdote and putting it in there, thank you

β€œYou have to consider causality”

Thank you for giving me a sane-sounding reason I can give for why I overthink EVERYTHING

If by β€œhelp” you mean β€œdemand a level of detail that only a fellow creative writer would appreciate” then I am right here

Speaking as someone who also needed tearing away from such things, not having a headache and an angry body is worth more than the zero people on Facebook who get convinced by heated comment fights

One of these days I'm going to confess my feelings to a crush and they're going to say they feel the same way. It hasn't happened yet but statistically it's got to eventually

This is what I imagine Luthadel looks like in Mistborn with all its keeps surrounded by slums. Then you’ve got Kredik Shaw looking like this all over again by itself

Real talk: if I had said β€œSlightly diminish a band: Acheron” would people have gotten it?

I’ve just read this entire thread on Laura Loomer’s deposition against Bill Maher and I continue to have absolutely zero idea what the lawsuit is actually about. Legal procedure at its finest and I feel so sorry for the poor court reporter

Kerry, I know you keep saying that everyone’s life is this exciting and you’re just a really good storyteller, but I swear to GOD this DOES NOT HAPPEN TO OTHER PEOPLE

First time seeing Frozen, when Hans refuses to kiss Anna this little girl three rows in front of my family screamed β€œYou STUPID JERK”

Runners up include The Witcher, Arcane, and House of Cards (yes, I will defend its final season and ending with my life)
