Feel free to ask me any questions because I’ve also had to figure most of this out myself but I’m fortunate enough to be living in a place where I can just go pick up whatever med I think I should try at the pharmacy.

But quercetin is the thing that consistently gets me out of flares.

And, yes, my allergist knows about the crazy amount of antihistamines.

Do you find quercetin helpful? It is massively helpful to me. Do you have ketotifen? If so, I’d take extra of that as well. Those days are the times where I take a couple hydroxyzine, four Zyrtec, a Claritin, a quercetin, stinging nettles, ketotifen, Pepcid, and Benadryl.

And the more I study, the more convinced I am. Same fleur-de-lis, same shape underneath it

Really looks like it

It crashes every single time I try to open it, so I’m hoping they update it soon

5:03 EST is 2:03 PST, which makes me think 23, as in exile ends in 3-2. The times for the doc were all given as PST as well.

I know 1/23 has been a date a lot of people are watching.

I’ve always loved it and appreciated the camp of it, but there’s an amazing thread about it over on gaylorswift right now. That place has been pretty awful lately, but I really think this poster nailed it with their analysis. It’s two parts—Taylor’s hero’s journey

Skin walkers absolutely if you want votes.

I feel like it’s one of those lines that will become clearer at some point in the future. I hope.

I’m pretty sure he’s anti-gaylor, but I blocked him just because he’s insufferably self-righteous.

So why is it there? Why would you pile all those bales practically blocking your door?

I know it’s hay (or straw?), but I have zero idea why it’d be blocking someone’s door like that.

Is that why we keep seeing tiktoks we’ve already seen (and liked) back in November?

Honestly, one of the things I appreciated about covid was realizing I didn’t have to get sick after trips.

But it’s just so hard. It’s like perpetual overwhelm, and I’ve had to make peace with not caring that certain family members think I’m rude.

I just spend a lot of time sitting by myself reading or scrolling but only minimally interacting.

Which reminds me of gay tea dances and their history.

Ditto for people going through crowded airports and onto airplanes. I just don’t understand. How can you hear the people hacking away and think “this is fine”?

I keep hoping someone will say what they actually posted.

How can you know the lyrics to a song and not understand the most surface-level aspects of it? This isn’t like trying to decipher “your house of stone, my ivy grows.” It’s very obviously a song about a relationship that ended traumatically for her.

I’m not even trying to be mean. But I’ve seen several saying unironically that Andrea is them because they too didn’t realize Hits Different was a sad song. That one isn’t even subtle. I really don’t understand because most of these people also know the lyrics, so just how???

You’re assuming they thought. They just went on vibes.

You know the stages of reasoning? Many seem to be stuck in a stage of very concrete thinking where if she said “he,” she had to mean that literally. They can’t conceptualize She could be using a song to talk about different parts of herself or her relationship with fame.

And she really seems focused on the patriarchy of it all, which is so insidious. The most male-focused Swifties can’t even see how they are centering men in absolutely everything.

I’m so curious as to how this unfolds. I suspect she was hoping that they’d get it, but knew in her heart most of them would not. I think a lot about High Infidelity as being written from the future, after the locks have been broken and she knows many won’t forgive her for bending the truth.

I don’t think there’s any way for her to spoon feed them slowly enough for them to connect the dots. At this point, she’s led the horses to water and shoved their heads in the water. But they are unable to drink. All they can see is men. It’s really sad.

It’s x. It’s a cesspool of the absolute worst.

Omg, I love you. Thank you!
