Just making some observations regarding the WB on the CD liners, and a sample of kk’s writing. I think parallels can be drawn between the letters - obviously you could argue either side. Personally, I notice similarities in the Bs (both look like “13”s to me) and the strokes of the w and v certainly compare IMO. I think this person has at least similar penmanship anyway to kk. So I’m calling out Karlie as William Bowery 😃 she went out west during the pandemic, and helped our girl create the folklore story and narrative and perspectives and aesthetics 😊😊😊

“This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.”
— Toni Morrison, “No Place for Self-Pity, No Room for Fear,” published in The Nation

As protests against injustice in legal system, discrimination, police brutality spread through the US, it is necessary to educate yourself about these issues.
Here are some recommendations, include both non-fiction and fiction about racism and challenges that black people face throughout their lifetimes.

“In Shaker Heights, a placid, progressive suburb of Cleveland, everything is planned—from the layout of the winding roads, to the colors of the houses, to the successful lives its residents will go on to lead. And no one embodies this spirit more than Elena Richardson, whose guiding principle is playing by the rules. Little Fires Everywhere explores the weight of secrets, the nature of art and identity, and the ferocious pull of motherhood—and the danger of believing that following the rules can avert disaster. “
I saw this post on ig point out that the backgrounds are similar in these pictures taylor and karlie posted recently.....interesting
Eye wonder...
Keep an eye open:
- remain vigilant for someone or something
- keep a lookout
Have one eye on:
- to keep looking or paying attention to someone or something else while you are doing something else
- look
- focus
And —> Why does she make the shape of a triangle around her eyes???
The Eye of Providence :
- is a symbol recognized by Freemasons everywhere as a beautiful representation of the watchful care of the Supreme Architect
Also called The All Seeing Eye:
- which also appears on the One Dollar Bill
- “On the right-hand side in the background of Mona Lisa, we can locate the form of the masculine pyramid. In the language of symbolism, this is also known as the pyramid of the Sun or the pyramid of the Man. In Mona Lisa, Leonardo even painted a spot on the pyramid to indicate the two parts: the body of the pyramid and the all-seeing-eye of the apex. Later in this study (Theorem 10) we prove that the height of the all-seeing-eye pyramid is divided so that the two parts form a relation that is the golden ratio.” https://houseoftruth.education/en/teaching/mona-lisa/the-all-seeing-eye
- the Mona Lisa - most famous painting in the world, and her identity is never truly known ...
Yup. It’s gone this far. I am playing the DaVinci Code with Taylor Swift. 👁
Also... as a fun side note,I like to imagine that Taylor rented out the Louvre where the Mona Lisa is in Paris just for her and Kar for the most romantic date of all time, maybe on their honeymoon 💕💕💕
Eye’m done. For now.
folks...
real talk
whose eye praytell
whose eye is it
honestly
she’s tr👁ing to tell you
You guys are losing faith...
She’s called a leader for a reason
If war was easy
Love would have won long ago...
Are we not in combat ??
Maybe I don’t know my generals’ moves
Because she’s there -
I’m here.
But I know I know my way
My heart pound with hers.
Let’s go.

Revolution time🌈 😎
Make it a good one, kids.
K you know how Taylor won’t shut up about blue...several hints have been dropped relating Joni Mitchel so I am 100% that JMs album Blue is a Kaylor clue...One of Taylor’s diary entries said she taught herself to play “case of you” - some choice lyrics for you to consider here:
“I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours, she knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds and she said
Go to him
Stay with him if you can
But prepared to bleed...
Oh but you are in my blood like holy wine”
✌🏽
Just in case you were feeling discouraged.

A good thread on whether “queer” is a slur and if it should be used or not.
Let’s go girls🌈👏🏼🌈👏🏼
Lately there’s been a new shift that has affected me personally and that I feel is a potentially harmful force in our industry, and as your resident loud person, I feel the need to bring it up. And that is the unregulated world of private equity coming in and buying up our music as if it is real estate. As if it’s an app or a shoe line. This just happened to me without my approval, consultation, or consent.
After I was denied the chance to purchase my music outright, my entire catalog was sold to Scooter Braun’s Ithaca Holdings in a deal that I’m told was funded by the Soros Family, 23 Capital, and the Carlyle Group. Yet to this day none of these investors have ever bothered to contact me or my team directly. To perform their due diligence on their investment. On their investment in me. To ask how I might feel about the new owner of my art. The music I wrote. The videos I created. Photos of me, my handwriting, my album designs. And of course, Scooter never contacted me or my team to discuss it prior to the sale or even when it was announced.
I’m fairly certain he knew exactly how I would feel about it though. And let me just say that the definition of the toxic male privilege in our industry is people saying, ‘But he’s always been nice to me,’ when I’m raising valid concerns about artists and their rights to own their music. And of course he’s nice to you. If you’re in this room, you have something he needs.
The fact is that private equity is what enabled this man to think, according to his own social media post, that he could buy me. But I’m obviously not going willingly. Yet the most amazing thing was to discover that it would be the women in our industry who would have my back and show me the most vocal support at one of the most difficult times, and I will never, ever forget it. Like, ever.
taylor swift, artist of the decade
Crowned or martyred...
Either way, the revolution is in motion 🌈
Yess, Taylor is definitely like NO, you can’t have this! You’re not going to break me. Love that. Hope she wins in the end, they’ll have to sit and watch her being crowned.
Yes! 🌈
Taylor Swift has done more for media literacy than any other musical artist ever. Her active encouragement of fan analysis, her deliberate inclusion of layered hidden meaning within her work, her intentional self-referentialism, reflection and reinterpretation, her lyrics that lean heavily towards satire and playfully subverting expectation……. the last few years of her career have been littered with proof that she is pushing an educational agenda. She is asking people to actively question the stories they used to internalise without second thought, including narratives and themes she once wrote but no longer agrees with. She is a media studies professor hidden within the world of pop music, actively encouraging the general public to dissect the media they consume, the messages they receive and the politics behind them……… the fact of the matter is that if Taylor Swift were a man, we would be discussing her effect not only as a famous singer-songwriter, but as a public intellectual presenting a body of artistic work with a deliberate focus on media literacy
when she says she doesn’t send nudes
are you okay?
so...
not a lot of civility out there in the world these days but *adjusts tinfoil hat* let me try and lay this out a civilly as possible...
what is this? can you guess?
looking at the picture to the left, accessible to anyone on google maps right now, you may be able to see that it’s a view from above of construction of a property on a hill towards the bottom. and the charred remains of something towards the top.
what the image to the right shows is the same spot as existed in photos taken recording the woolsey fire, a brushfire that ravaged southern california at the end of last year: November 9th-21st, 2018. you may remember it as the fire that destroyed many a celebrity home in malibu.
sadly... in looking at sentimental and meaningful places to stay while visiting for lover fest west, i came to learn that this property also fell victim to unreported flames:
*i say unreported because, after spending far too much time looking for three maps (one from a review of a guy who stayed there on vacation, one from a statistics-style report of the woolsey fire, one from a news article to confirm the positioning of both images) to superimpose, it would seem that the location of the legendary vogue kaylor photoshoot airstream (as seen below, within the blue encircled area, according to the reviewer) was not included on the map of reported buildings in the area that took damage (represented in yellow and red). but i digress.
i just felt like writing this all out because... i just feel awful for having gone to taylor’s concerts on November 20th and the 21st without having know that but a week prior, this important landmark had bit the dust... although the other day while i went through the stages of processing, i realized i was not entirely sure when exactly taylor found out.
so i tried to see if i could suss out anything and... i found some things.
first... allow me to work backwards here... there was this taymoji gift that was given out on december 4th, from the Picture to Burn Pack:
then i went through my phone and it turns out i happen to have a screen grab of a peculiar instagram story that kristine posted from late november. i captured it because it was unique... though nothing came of it at the time. here’s a gif of me recording it on my camera roll so you can see the date at the top
and wouldn’t ya know, the dynamic duo also posted from california that week (i added the goldfish to the post to the right because that’s one of his kids) and i know count olaf was also posting from there on account from him tagging jaime in his post, who posted something a bit smokier from LA the month before, which she herself points out the connection to.
(please allow for the possibility of rolling each post date back a day due to the big time difference between where i am and they are)
and, the biggest tell of all, that i talked about on my blog oblivious to what it probably was signaling, this post from our dutiful friend atticus, posted November 14th:
i don’t know exactly when the flames hit the trailer... there was no filed report but i can assume it was after November 10th due to news reports from that day showing the barrier of the fire as not including Point Mugu yet... and it should have gone down before the 14th if we were to assume atticus caught wind of it via gossip in the kloffice...
which brings me back to the point about sentimentality.
it seems a tad... erm.. on the nose... don’t you think? awfully dire, awfully grim and dreadful, awful unfortunate, that after all taylor has sung about kaylor (and i include style *because* it was included in the medley during rep tour not because i think it was originally written about karlie) using these themes:
Long drive / Could end in burning flames or paradise
You'll see me in hindsight, tangled up with you all night / Burnin' it down
I'd kiss you as the lights went out / Swaying as the room burned down
that the vogue photoshoot airstream might have gone up in flames on the thirteenth of november? the canonical day that taylor and karlie first met....? like how stomach wrenching is that?
allow me take a step back
i don’t think we will ever know when the malibu dream caught flame, but, i have a good idea of when and how taylor may have found out about it.
taylor looking at her phone, throwing it on the bed, and from that phone blew sparks... i think someone(s) sent photos to her on that important day. how they got the photos? hard to say... but, that’s not the point. i’d rather think about who. who, you may ask, would want to tell her about this with cruel intentions?
someone who can’t help themselves from
at every turn
marking sentimental territory
ripping up sidewalks
appropriating special days
and special locations
and turning lyrics into twisted party favors
and buying up her life’s work
and celebrating it as if she was land to conquer
🤔 who was in the area that week?
now, how dare you suggest i’m pointing a finger. i’m not saying it might have been partially him, why, how could i be? because hey, if we want to judge his righteousness, he said it in a tweet, so he’s a good guy, right?
🤒
For me, this sneaky footage is hella more platonic than kissgate was...Just saying! 🌈
Joe & Taylor at the BFTA awards. ❤️
Body language 101 his feet are pointing away from her...my fiancé better be pointing his feet at me on our wedding day y’all, just saying 🌈
“This wedding brought to you by Dior. For all of the milestone moments of your life.”

Nope. No. You’re wrong. Color photos have been around since the late 1800s there are a bunch of full color photos of MLK. The us govt and educational system just doesn’t show us because they want us to push back the civil rights movement and distance institutionalized racism from today’s society.
Here are just a few of many photos of MLK in FULL color. This wasn’t that long ago. This is RECENT history. Segregation, the terrorizing of black communities, the brutality isn’t old - it is still present.
When my dad was a little boy, my grandfather was one of the ministers who marched with MLK on Washington. He grew up hearing stories about the great Dr. king and the differences he made BUT he still saw the blatant discrimination against black folks and other people of color (hell he experienced it himself). My dad was a kid watching MLK. My DAD. My grandfather who only passed away about six years ago MARCHED with him. This isn’t twelve generations ago. THIS IS RECENT HISTORY.
Taylor: Leave me the fuck alone so I can dance with this babe
Karlie: This is AWESOME...could potentially be a bad idea? Meh.
I don’t even believe Taylor and Toe met or crossed paths at the MET gala. Like where did this come from? Is this confirmed by anyone? We saw Taylor dancing with Tom and dancing all over Karlie. Taylor was co-chair or whatever it’s called that year. I just highly doubt that they met that night.
Honestly I’m so far removed from their non-history that I don’t recall if it’s confirmed. People say they might have met then but clearly she was occupied with Karlie and happened to find a new 3 month beard 😅
