The months since October 7 have aggravated the most extreme campus panic I have witnessed. To judge by the American mass media, the campus is the most urgent scene of political struggle in the world. What is happening “on campus” often seems of greater concern than what is happening in Gaza, where every single university campus has been razed by the IDF. When all the Palestinian dead have been counted, it seems likely that these months will be recorded as having inflamed a campus panic no less intense than the one that accompanied the Vietnam War. The correspondences between that moment and this one were unmistakable to those of us who watched, in person or through screens, as the NYPD hauled 108 Columbia University students off of their institution’s campus on Thursday, April 18, 2024. Like the campus panic of the 1960s–70s, this one is aroused by the spectacle of young people speaking out against the inhumane actions of the US and its imperial client states, as well as against the complacency and complicity of their own educational institutions. Now, as then, the act of protesting against injustice undergoes a curious transfiguration in the media, which refashions this action into the object of frantic scrutiny, surveillance, and suppression.

Harvard University professor Walter Johnson, in an essay about experience of working at Harvard since October 7 titled “Living Inside a Psyop”—the psyop being, precisely, “the campus”—calls this the “two-step maneuver” of campus panic: (1) Look over here, (2) Do not look over there. Overreact to this, overlook that.[1] Look at the US, not at Palestine. Look up at what is happening in the clouds over Cambridge, Massachusetts, where a plane trails a banner declaring, “HARVARD HATES JEWS”; do not look at what is happening on the ground in Gaza, do not look at the masses of the displaced, the bereaved, the starving, the wounded, the sick, the dying, and certainly do not look at the dead, murdered with artillery supplied by the US government and funded by American citizens’ taxes. When student protestors chant, “From the river to the sea,” hear a speculative antisemitic canard; do not hear a reference to an actual river, an actual sea, an actual and ongoing history of dispossession and occupation.

i agree that the title “tortured poets department” is rather .. overwrought but i feel like when people are like “she’s so privileged how could she be tortured” which i GET but i feel like the phrase “tortured poet” is more about like .. being tortured by inner demons or whatever not like.. structural oppression. and as much insane privilege as she has, i’m sure Emotionally the experiences she’s had with fame and people hating her have been really hard even if it’s like….very 1% problems lol. but maybe that’s more “tortured pop star” than “tortured poet” . but idk i kind of want her to go crazier and you know what would be the craziest thing she could do??? being fucking honest. like if she could EVER live her life without the desperate seeking of praise and approval and the ~masterminding of things and so on . like if she just said fuck it im going to actually be who i want and do what i want…. but idk if she knows what that is. oh no thats just the song mirrorball. and honestly the line in that song “ im not a natural all i do is try” is like. one of her truest lines abt herself in my opinion. and also very autism coded in a way.

hmmm dunno how i feel about taylor’s new album it’s very like. is this terrible or actually good ?? some of it i like … some of it may be terrible .. as usual a lot of it lingers in mediocre-land for me . but also something about it convinces me more that she could b autistic and also that she probably really needs like. emotional Help. not in a pejorative way in a relatable way

saying “our culture changed the meaning of marriage “ just seems so obviously narrow minded to me bc like… the idea that concepts of marriage just go like “1 true christian concept of marriage” —> “modern corrupt godless ideas of marriage” makes no sense bc there’s like…… so much more to history and the world today than like…. the christian idea of marriage. like marriage existed before Jesus, it existed before Judaism, it existed and still exists in places where Christianity has never been a significant factor and all of those different places and times had different cultural norms about marriage!!!!!! omg!!!! the idea that cultural change is some new fangled corruption. of good old fashioned christian values is just like????? idk maybe when christianity came to europe and the Pagans were like omg this is some new fangled corruption of good old fashioned paganism!!! but that was christianity so it’s fine lollll
