Taylor Swift Fan: Woman hides identity because she called in sick to work.

Not all heroes wear capes. That said, some nearly do. Some instead wear a pink, white polka dot towel over their head, adorned with sunglasses to keep the look effortlessly stylish. This magnificent look, like a nonchalant phantom, is then captured on tape forEvermore in live, broadcast interview—and sent gleefully around the World Wide Web. This is a look of disguise as necessitated by trying circumstance, yet fearlessness in the face of tyranny. This is someone who will not be bowed by threats of disciplinary measures such as "verbal or written warnings", "demotions", "pay cuts", "suspensions", or even "termination." This is the look of someone who spits in the face of such threats and then wipes the saliva dribbling down her chin with the towel handily draped over her head. This is Taylor Swift Fan: Woman hides identity because she called in sick to work.

Hers is ultimately a parable of choice—of the decisions made when confronted by tyranny, and the lengths one may take in pursuit of what really matters. Faced with the threats of those "superior" to you, and the opportunity to experience #the eras tour, what would you do? Cow from the promise of disciplinary measures? Or do whatever it takes to attend @taylorswift's magnum opus: a journey through all of her musical eras, a defying feat of over three hours of 44 songs divided into ten distinct acts to portray the albums conceptually, a tour that has received unanimous critical acclaim for its production, striking visual identities, execution of its concept, and Swift's musicianship, vocals, charisma, stamina, and versatility as an entertainer? 

Faced with such a dilemma, Taylor Swift Fan did what must be done. She took her phone, feigned a cough, and tickled her nostril until she started sneezing. She called her captors and told them im so sorry *cough* im sick and i wont be able to make it into work today, before taking the lift in her apartment, selecting B (for basement), and emerging in the TayCave below. She walks along a metal walkway, past supercomputers on standby. At the end of the walkway in a pristine glass cabinet, lit up lavender in the darkness, is a mannequin. This mannequin, silent and ready, sports a pink polka dot towel adorned with sunglasses. She presses a taybutton on the Cave wall, and the cabinet opens. 

Whoever you are, wherever you are, know that we see you. Know that you are the best of us.

#i am sick of the antisemitism-inflected ceasefire posts #that you see on this site #(obligatory Not All Posts) #I have been posting less about particulars #bc I could feel my posts descending into Good Jew territory #yes these are my beliefs but I am tired of being called fascist #for voicing hope for a political solution #rather than a bloody revolution #which wouldn’t fucking work anyway #just create more suffering and death #so anyway let’s amplify Israelis #who are fighting for their shared future #end rant

Why are ppl scared to call it what it is and say we’re still going thru covid on top of seasonal illness. Like. That’s pretty important right. I was watching the news and they were like oh yeah we have an unprecedented number of flu cases “as well as other sicknesses” without actually saying Covid. No announcement abt vaccinations or masking or anything. Also if I hear someone joking abt “war flashbacks” for mentioning covid I fucking hate u

#source: most of my family members are nurses and it was so bad for one of them they had to be put on a ventilator. in the hospital they #worked at. looking back I think I had a reason to feel a little offput by the shows of support early pandemic #with people tying blue ribbons around trees and lighting signs blue to support healthcare workers #I get that it was supposed to be moral support when we couldn’t do anything but follow health advisories #and it did matter to make them feel uplifted and do something than nothing. im not gonna deny that #but. you can still help now. u know that right. you still have a responsibility here #u can still mask up. u can still get vaxxed and call in sick to avoid infecting others #don’t leave it on healthcare workers to pick up the pieces just because they were doing it before. do u think they had a choice? #nobody likes picking up the slack for someone else and now that we have more tools to do smth couldn’t we just. do it???? #im not a virologist but i also feel like continuing to let it get worse by letting more mutations develop #could continue to set us back since this virus is pretty good at fucking us up long term and finding new ways to do that #while there are ppl still researching covid which is STILL A RELATIVELY NEW VIRUS. and studying possible treatment and cures #yapping #vent

[Image Description: A digital painting of one of the hand devices in the simulation. In the foreground a ghostbird is grabbing the protagonist's outstretched arm as they try to flee. Both their arms and the hand device are illuminated in the light of their artifact. The image is at an upwards angle so the hand is looming against the starry sky and the characters' hands cast a shadow over the center/palm of the device. End Image Description.]

honestly the funniest thing about maintagged character hate is that 99% of people engaging in it talk like toddlers. they are all a hair's breadth away from calling the pretend guy they don't like a big dumb mean doodoo head.

#someone maintagged essek hate around when I queued this and legit called him bleh-sick and I laughed out loud at work when i saw it #like. did you think people would see this and be like damn u have a point no they will think you are a baby or perhaps a clown #queue

Pls someone talk to me about the quiet codependence Rust and Marty have, the too-easy domesticity they can fall into. Their constant arguing and moral disagreement and that blends so easily into sharing clothes and a bottle and a home. The open hostility that silently becomes worry when no one else is watching. The implicit, unyielding trust that's never questioned and always counted on, between two people born and living in a world that's punished trust from the beginning.

#the song that plays in the background of all of this? one called 'are you alright' with a slow guitar and melancholy. wtf. #theyre playing td on tv rn and i caught it right in ep 4 where the DOMESTICITY is HIGH and like. why dont I remember any of this happening #true detective #rust x marty #'men and women. it's not suppose to work unless it's to make kids' rustin what the fuck. he says this to maggie's face. #while her husband is LIVING WITH HIM. there are so many... tones i didnt pick up when watching this before #rust cohle #marty hart #martin hart #rustin cohle #they know each other better than they know themselves and that makes me sick

I think once the fandom realizes that Percy is more of a grumpy cat of a person and Nico is more of an over-energetic dog of a person, the world may finally heal

#just thoughts #Percy will knock down shit on your shelf #he WILL lay his head ontop of Annabeth's laptop keyboard just so she can't get any work done #but Nico? Nico will yap to you for over two hours about some obscure video game AND do it with glee #he will call Will his nightlight and preen all happily #he will laugh and run around and play with Mrs O'Leary #seriously though #I am so sick of people saying nico's a cat person and percy's a dog person when its clearly the opposite? #pjo #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson #nico di angelo
