Sorry but I do think giving your lover a lock of your hair or a vial of your blood is incredibly romantic
hearing someone tell the same boring or only mildly interesting story more than twice is unbearable to me. it's like there are ants under my skin. i have to leave the room or if i can't i have to pull out every mental trick i have to distract myself and then vent later and I'm pretty sure it still shows in my body language despite my best efforts.
taylor swift is like someone who tells the same few mildly interesting stories over and over and over. her music isn't garbage or anything, but at the same time 90% of it is unbearable to me because every single she releases gets so much play, it gives me the same ants under my skin feeling and i often can't get away from it.
and it's not just her music, it's also the constant narrative around her. i was made to sit through a mini documentary about her relationship with travis kelce on espn, treating her like a saint doing a public service for bringing more customers to the multibillion dollar CTE league that is the biggest financial supporter of tackle football for children. (I am on record hating tackle football, the NFL, and its youth outreach long before this)
ever since the self-proclaimed activist happily accepted being named more influential on world events than any world leader and used the platform to talk about no world events or anything worthwhile, it's like the ants have become bullet ants whenever i hear this saint swift narrative repeated. we're even supposed to say "thank you mommy, may i have another" to the billionaire making millions on obscenely priced concerts that are supposedly "holding up the whole economy". i'm just never going to understand people who worship her (not just like her music) and dedicate their time to giving her unpaid promo and claim to care about things like genocide and the environment and wealth disparity.
anyway, that's why stuff bugs me. please tag everything that's related to taylor with "#taylor swift" so people's blacklists work properly. A LOT of y'all don't and it's giving ants!

WITCH HEAD NEBULA * IC 2118 (also known as Witch Head Nebula due to its shape) is an extremely faint reflection nebula believed to be an ancient supernova remnant or gas cloud illuminated by nearby supergiant star Rigel in the constellation of Orion. It lies in the Orion constellation, about 900 light-years from Earth. The nature of the dust particles, reflecting blue light better than red, is a factor in giving the Witch Head its blue color. Radio observations show substantial carbon monoxide emission throughout parts of IC 2118, an indicator of the presence of molecular clouds and star formation in the nebula. In fact candidates for pre-main sequence stars and some classic T-Tauri stars have been found deep within the nebula. The molecular clouds of IC 2118 are probably juxtaposed to the outer boundaries of the vast Orion-Eridanus bubble, a giant supershell of molecular hydrogen blown by the high mass stars of the Orion OB1 association. As the supershell expands into the interstellar medium, favorable circumstances for star formation occur. IC 2118 is located in one such area. The wind blown appearance and cometary shape of the bright reflection nebula is highly suggestive of a strong association with the high mass luminous stars of Orion OB1. The fact that the heads of the cometary clouds of IC2118 point northeast towards the association is strong support of that relationship.. Credit to Pablo Carlos Budassi.
I think I hate Tom Cruise, Taylor Swift, and Johnny Depp with every bone in my body
Rapper Macklemore is releasing a track called โHindโs Hallโ, speaking out on the genocide of Palestinians, and the United States complacency in this ongoing violence. Macklemore has stated that once the track drops on streaming, all proceeds from streams will be going directly to UNRWAโ the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East.
The new tracks namesake Hindโs Hall echoes the honours that Columbia University encampment protestors bestowed the Morningside Heights campusโ Hamilton Hallโ in memory of Hind Rajab, the 6 year old Palestinian girl in Gaza who was shot by Israeli soldiers after being trapped inside a vehicle, with her dead family. She had begged to be rescued as tanks closed in on her.
Macklemore using his platform to vehemently speak out against genocide, the Israeli occupation and United States-led violence is what every single artist should be doing right now. The power of art should not be underestimated. Macklemore started out in the Hip-Hop scene within communist circles, namely working alongside Blue Scholars, and has never neglected his Leftism through out his career: the artist has spoken on issues regarding mental health, addiction, racial profiling and police violence, Capitalism, womenโs rights, LGBTQ+ rights and toxicity of American culture.
โThe Nakba never ended, the colonizer liedโ Hindโs Hall, Macklemore, 2024
Eurovision is in a week so reminder to not watch or support it in anyway with the fact that Israel is still in the competition ๏ฟผ
remember when they got rid of the slogan "don't be evil"?
