"You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me" definitely reads as a cringey edgelord poetry from an emo teenager being a teenager but it's also obviously meme bait
All the Olivia Rodrigo plagiarism is a mess but I'm so sick of swiffers acting like she just suddenly got credit out of the blue. She has full control over her team and who they go after. Whether it's fully suing, or sending cease and desist threats (like the jet tracker, the journalist who called her lowercase kkk, Etsy merch sellers) it's all her doing. People have been saying for years that she's had so many legal battles she's basically a lawyer now. Even if she has no legal grounds she knows that at this point, she's so big and powerful, that just the threat of being sued into bankruptcy is enough to get people to back down.
Exactly,
That other Anon wanted to say that Swift just got swept up in the legal dispute because of Farro. It's just unbelievable.
She's a grown woman and the face of a billion-dollar company. She's been in legal disputes so much in the last decade that I'm almost shocked. She knows what is going on. I just don't believe for a second that she had no ability to pull back, and say "never mind" or "no."
Anyway, I'm tired of her bullying people to get them to back down. She's done this so much that I just expect it at this point.
PALESTINIAN KUFIYA RAFFLE!!
I am raffling off TWO authentic kufiya’s from Palestine!! I know they are almost always sold out and I was generously sent 2, so I figured I would try to raffle them off and help a Gazan family at the same time 🤍🇵🇸
HOW TO ENTER:
Donate the equivalent of €10 (or more) to Hani’s gofundme! This is a vetted gofundme (and a friend of my dear Elios @fallahifag 🤍) and Hani needs help getting his family out of Gaza.
Once you donate send me proof of your donation and I’ll enter your username into the raffle.
EVERY €10 DONATED COUNTS AS AN ENTRY (so if you donate €10 that is one entry, €20 is two entries, etc)
My possibly out-of-reach goal is to not choose a winner until Hani’s gofundme reaches at least €10,000. I will reevaluate if that goal isn’t being reached in a reasonable amount of time. I will use a random generator to choose two winners- you must be comfortable enough to give me a name/address to mail it to if you win. It’ll basically just be first come first serve for who gets which kufiya.
Please keep donating and FREE PALESTINE 🤍🇵🇸
Taylor is so threatened by other female artists. When she wanted to fully switch over to put, she decided to start a smear campaign against Katy Perry. At the time, Katy was coming off of the massive success of the Teenage Dream album and her follow-up album (Prism) had two smash worldwide and US hits in Roar and Dark Horse. She was the #1 pop girl at the time and Taylor was clearly vying to take her place with the 1989 album. This would be fine if she didn’t decide to start a feud with Katy for no reason.
Years later, you’d think she would’ve grown up. Instead, she saw the rise of Olivia Rodrigo, who was occupying the same “relatable singer-songwriter” as her. Instead of lifting Olivia up, she decided to steal credits from her over two songs that didn’t even sound anything alike.
Now, she got angry at Billie for calling out her and decided to release new versions of her album just to block her from number one.
For someone who claims to be a feminist and claims “misogyny” anytime she is criticized, Taylor has no problem attacking other female artists over petty reasons.
She's actively sabotaging female artists, and yes it has been noticed. If she had a manager they would have strongly advised her against this.
i hope that the discussion about student protests does not get reduced to "privileged rich kids faffing around at an ivy league school." setting aside that tenuous claim, over the last week, protests have erupted over the entire country. a few days ago, riot police beat, pepper-sprayed, and arrested NYU faculty shielding students; protests started at the university of southern california when the admin cancelled the valedictorian's speech; encampments appeared at the university of southern carolina, UT dallas, the university of maryland, the university of new mexico, IUPUI, virginia tech, the university of virginia, the university of illinois, the university of north carolina — chapel hill, the university of pittsburgh, uc berkeley, the university of michigan — ann arbor, MIT, emerson, tufts, the university of rochester, rice, swarthmore, the new school, vanderbilt university, with students arrested; students protested or walked out at miami university, northwestern, temple, the 5 claremont colleges: pomona, pitzer, scripps, harvey mudd, and claremont mckenna, stanford, washington university in st louis, students were arrested at ohio state, students were confronted by riot police at cal poly humboldt, after which they occupied campus, students were arrested at the university of minnesota — twin cities, after which faculty walked out; and yes, there are protests at the other ivies, most notably yale, with students facing mass arests after encampments, but there is also an encampment at brown, protests appeared at cornell, princeton faculty issued a statement of solidarity while students are preparing an encampment, and harvard banned the undergraduate palestine solidarity committee. there are thousands of students who are protesting for palestine across the entire country, facing harassment, arrest, and suspension in return
Joe Biden makes a speech saying Hamas are driven by the ancient desire to eliminate Jews. Hamas was created in 1987, Joe. Ain’t nothing ancient about them. So unless you are implying that Palestinians are driven by the ancient desire to wipe out Jews which is KKK cross burning level of racism, you might want to tone down the racist bullhorn that you are mistaken for a dog whistle.
Op has said that it's not just his account that got suspended but many other people around him as well
remember when they got rid of the slogan "don't be evil"?
caving as an extreme sport is sooo unfathomable to me why are u as a creature of the daylight doing that. were u born without the dread in ur bones or something
It's not the "without the racists" line on its own I dislike, but that whole tangent is supposedly preaching this wise deep lesson about how the past wasn't as great as you romanticize it to be. but who is she talking to??? idk anyone who's like 'damn, I wish I was in the 1830s'. it's nonsensical without confronting what it is about that time that appeals to her, since the major features of that time supposedly don't. is it the lack of the technology that made her famous? the dresscode? swifties literally say 'there's nothing appealing about it, that's the point' but then WHY WOULD SHE SAY IT IN THE FIRST PLACE
it's a desperate attempt to save face. I'll always remember the tweet when someone said "without all the racists", girl who would you date/write about then?.
