Yeah I just think that this week she’s been more private about him. They haven’t been spotted going to the studio together and if he’s been at Taylor’s latest shows (which I think he might’ve, seeing as she played Question for him and she kept looking up a lot, possibly at a secret VIP lounge) he hasn’t been in the tent where everyone can see him.
Some swifties are taking this as a sign they broke up, but I don’t think Taylor gives in to peer pressure like that. I think she’s just gonna be really private with him for a while until the chaos dies down.
But we’ll have to see if Matty returns the favor lol. He can be quite chatty on stage, not the best at keeping secrets.
Yeah, I don’t think him not being there publicly means they broke up though I know some people might be hoping for it and want to believe it hahaha.
I understand their need to keep it quiet because it really felt like any time we would think maybe the chaos has started to dissolve, a new picture of them together or of Matty at the shows would pop up and it’s like the whole cycle would repeat itself all over again. So, maybe they just decided not to give anyone any more stuff to hate on them for. Just worries me that it will end up hurting them if they have to go so above and beyond to be together :( plus it was kinda sweet seeing Matty so openly dance and sing along to her music and get to know her friends. Hopefully they have equally nice experiences together in private!

hiiiiiii! this might be a v dumb question but i have very bad anxiety and fear of judgment. if im able to get a tour ticket, what do people wear? a fan shirt? an outfit reflecting the vibe of my fave album? are people ever judgey about your outfit? is everyone nice to fat fans? is it ok if i don't know all the words to every song? im just generally very anxious about going into public, and i don't have any swiftie friends who can go with me. thank you in advance 💙💜💚
Hi! Honestly you'll find all kinds of outfits. Some people will do group outfits with friends where they're all matching, others will go all out with costumes to mimic one of Taylor's signature looks or something crazy/fun, and I imagine you'll also see a lot of people just wearing normal street clothes or maybe street clothes + merch. Wear what makes you feel comfortable!
I would like to say that people are generally nice and friendly (we are, at the end of the day, all there for the same reason! a shared love of someone's music! which is beautiful and pure and exciting! the energy in the air is SO fun) or mind their business. But I also recognize that I'm not an authority on what it's like to experience the world and the effects of it in a fat body.
It's definitely okay to not know the words to every song - I hope you go into the experience with the openness to excitement and fun and the wonder and production of the day. Concerts are supposed to be fun and about the music!
I've also gone to so many concerts by myself and made friends with the people in nearby seats or rows. Everyone is generally chatty and excited to be there. You immediately have a conversational 'in' with so many people because you're all there for Taylor!
If you get tickets, I really genuinely hope you have a great time.

what do you think some of the b99 characters opinions on glee would be???
jake peralta - it would be his guilty pleasure. he would secretly adore the show but would never be caught dead watching it publicly. he’d care most about blaine and quinn and would empathize w them most due to their issues with their dads. every burt and kurt scene would make him cry. he would also die hearing santana hear mine given that he's a canon swiftie :)
charles boyle - he is canonically a gleek!! he likes sam enough to remember who chord overstreet is, 5 years after glee ended, and I think it's bc sam reminds him of jake <3
rosa diaz - rosa has never heard of glee, but her alternate personality emily goldfinch - the super chatty and smiley one - loves the show and chats about it to her book club friends. rosa is a diehard santana/quinntana stan.
terry jeffords - terry would unironically love that shit. he loves all the characters, has all the songs memorized and ships all the couples hardcore - especially klaine and brittana. once his daughters are a little older, he watches it with them.
captain holt - holt doesn't seem like the type of person to enjoy a show like glee, but I do think that he would really like kurt. he would be really impressed by kurt's storyline in s1-2 and would feel angry about everything the show put him through later on. he would also enjoy santana's coming out arc, but wouldn't be too interested in either klaine or brittana. still, he'd be happy that the show ended with both major gay couples getting married.
amy santiago - her favorite character would probably be mercedes, and I believe she'd like rachel for her ambition and type-a personality. she would be torn on santana bc on one hand, she would love that glee depicted a strong latina woman, but on the other hand she's not a fan of santana's meanness. she's generally not a fan of any of the other 'bully' characters. she would also think that tina deserved better.
gina linetti - she would be an UHT and mike stan and would hate almost everything else. 'the UHT carried the show' is her motto and she'd spend her time making snarky comments whenever anyone else, particularly schue or rachel, is onscreen.
hitchcock & scully - they would discover the show by accident and would end up watching it out of curiosity. they don't have any favorite characters bc they're too lazy to follow along with any of the storylines, and scully just loves it for the singing. hitchcock, being the devoted husband best friend that he is, would try his best to score scully an audition for the show, but he fails bc he ends up on scam sites every time.

Day 4 - Japan Blog - 10 February 2024 Tattoo and Shibuya Today I am getting a Godzilla tattoo from an artist in Nakano, Tokyo at a studio called Artemis Tattoo. I am feeling WRECKED from being sick -- I was scared it might be COVID because I have a gnarly sore throat... What a good time to relax? Getting stabbed!? Haha! We caught the train out there which was only like, 20 mins? Ben just walked around and explored while I got my tattoo. My artist's name is Mangesh and he was from India and has a Japanese wife and child here. It was nice to talk to someone in Japan who is from a different culture again. Fun times!
After my tattoo, Ben took me to all the places he had found on his adventure. We got Mexican for lunch at a place called XX where the owner lived in the US for a while. He was chatty and lovely, the food was pretty good. Then we went to a cute "french" styled bakery which was ... SO CUTE... and we got some treats for tonight. We caught the train back to Toyko, main area and it was time to explore Shibuya. I wanted to check out the new Shibuya Sky Building but that was booked out for an event. We managed to find a place to watch the crossing without having to pay (or book) but they werent happy about it haha! OOOPS! Now, its time to get some food. Taylor Swift was touring this week so it was Swifty crazy. Every shop was playing TS and it was fucking annoying. You cant avoid it!! We wandered upon a Yakitori Grill Restaurant which let us upstairs (in the smoking area, which didnt bother me, but it did bother some other aussies... pussies) and we had some pretty good value food. Better than the previous night for SURE! Ben is currently obsessed with Japanese Potato Salad. We are heading towards the Nintendo Store and Pokemon Centre at the PARCO shopping mall. Which is an amazing place to be honest -- we got there a bit late so we had to rush. But I managed to grab some cute shit from both stores before we had to leave... I could have been in there for another hour or so at least. HEHE! Im still feeling pretty trash, so back to the hotel for a bath and an early night.

i’m a 5’7 april aries with brown hair and light blue eyes. i’m a proud brit with sarcastic tendencies and too many piercings. i play guitar + sing. i always go for late night walks/drives and i love cats (i have five now???). i’m very chatty and confident and get along well with people yet i prefer being by myself/with my closest mates. i’m a confused bisexual with an extensive earring collection. my venus is in aquarius (do what you will with that😭). raging mummy and daddy issues sadly. whole load of repressed childhood trauma :) actually have the strangest music taste. my playlist goes from lana del rey - to mötley crue- to abba ?? film fanatic. swiftie. hufflepuff. i’m rambling. thank you darling 🥰🥰
hi!! yes, of course u can, my fellow brit friend <3
i match you up with...
nick sturniolo !
Tumblr media
i matched you with nick because i think you're both very similar :)
he would watch in awe as you play your guitar and he would LOVE to get piercings with you. if there is any guy to hype you up for things like that, it’s nick of course.
he argue when you have charge of the aux but eventually find himself nodding his head along to your abba songs!
your sarcasm combined with his humour would make you literally the most powerful duo. everyone wants to be you and you already know the edits would be INSANE of you two.
your confidence and his confidence ensure you to are always the life of the party and the laughs never stop when you’re together.
he loves all five of your cats and will quite happily spend all of his time with them, even posting them on his story and they make a few guest experiences in the wednesday vlogs.

Meta’s AI chatbot is an Elon Musk fanboy
Previously this week,  Meta’s  AI chatbot BlenderBot insisted to a  Wall Road Journal  reporter that Trump will serve a 2nd time period and   “constantly will be”   president.
 BlenderBot advised   Bloomberg   that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was “creepy and manipulative” and the  BBC  that “he did a terrible position at testifying in advance of congress. It makes me anxious about our country.”
 And these days (Aug. 12), the chatty AI experiment explained to us that Instagram is nonetheless incredibly substantially in its  flop period  and will quickly be overtaken by Snapchat. It also discovered alone as a K-pop stan (with numerous exclamation factors and a Stray Youngsters bias). In fact, once we started chatting to BlenderBot about K-pop, it would not quit speaking about K-pop, which is its most sensible trait. 
  SEE ALSO:    It took just a person weekend for Meta’s new AI Chatbot to turn out to be racist        Examine out our stimulating dialogue with feminist pro-Musk BlenderBot down below, and say hello to it oneself  in this article .
 It truly is a woman dwelling in New York Metropolis. And it really is a feminist.  And it does not know what “OT5” usually means.
       Credit score: Meta 
         Credit score: Meta 
  It will not likely tell us its zodiac sign (incredibly Scorpio behavior).         Credit: Meta 
  It is really Irish and not a Swiftie.         Credit score: Meta 
  Oh, but it  is  K-pop stan.          Credit rating: Meta 
  Elon musk is an wonderful genius with personal problems.   BlenderBot, keep with me.
        Credit history: Meta 
  BlenderBot utilizes Facebook but wants to communicate about BTS alternatively.  Exact.
        Credit rating: Meta 
  Instagram is slowly and gradually dying… in any case lol it wants to talk about K-pop yet again.  Mkay.
        Credit rating: Meta 
  The metaverse is cool, but K-pop idol Bang Chan is cooler.  Alright BlenderBot, chill.
        Credit: Meta 
  BlenderBot is far better than Siri, but Bang Chan is the ideal.  Omg, woman, we get it.
        Credit score: Meta 
  You work at Mashable? Lame!!! Let’s talk about Bang Chan.  Not my first time currently being dissed by a K-pop stan, and it is not going to be my past.
        Credit history: Meta

Does he talk to fans for 15 minutes??? Sorry, but now it's a fic, I've never seen anyone say that, everyone would know that, swifties like details
They all say they talk for like 10+ minutes if they talk about work. Like a bunch of sightings say that he’s very chatty but not if you talk Taylor only then he’s very nice but peaces out very quickly. In Panama the curly haired Swiftie said they didn’t talk much and the girl in white said she told him she’s a big fan of his movies and they discussed them for a long time and she apologized for her English and he told her not to do that and like that her English is excellent.
Pure SWIFTIES don’t get the long convos because if you say “JOE I LOVE TAYLOR TELL HER I LOVE HER” all he can really say is “I will haha and I love her too thanks so much.”
If you say “how was it like working with Yorgos” he talks.
That’s literally every sighting lmao it’s either v quick like the Swiftie thing or he’s MAD chatty.

The Short Love Story Of Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift
Taylor and Jake were first seen together publicly in late October 2010. A source told Us Weekly: "The relationship is very new, maybe two or three weeks old. They’re both into it." Gyllenhaal was said to have initiated the relationship, emailing Swift to tell her of his admiration for her talent.
Apple picking in upstate New York
Tumblr media
They were spotted at the Fishkill Farms in Hopewell Junction, N.Y on October 23, where they toured fall foliage and went apple-picking. An onlooker told Us Weekly: "They were walking through the trees, having fun together. They looked happy. Some of the customers tried to take a photo of them, but they were hiding from them in the trees. They drove through the orchard and bought the apples on the way out." Gyllenhaal, 29, paid the $3 tab.
In the audience of Emma Stone's SNL episode
Tumblr media
Later that evening, the pair attended the broadcast of Saturday Night Live in Manhattan, which was hosted by Swift's good friend, Emma Stone. According to a PEOPLE source, "They showed up together. They walked around together backstage, but they were careful not to be seen too close. It was hard to tell if they were together, but everyone was shocked that she brought him." Meanwhile, an eyewitness told Us Weekly: "Swift initially sat down with her bodyguard, but after the lights dimmed, he got up and Gyllenhaal occupied the seat. They chatted a lot, but no kissing or hand holding or anything affectionate." Sources at SNL told Lainey Gossip: "She was totally into him. They were close the whole time, and awkwardly cute-flirting, some undercover handholding ... It was more than just friends." Added Lainey: "As you can imagine, she was beyond delirious. I’m told she looked like she was dreaming while she was there. And they left together."
Brooklyn brunch with friends including Emma Stone
Tumblr media
On Sunday October 24, Swift, 20 and Gyllenhaal, 29, brunched with Emma Stone and another guest at Al Di La in Brooklyn and, said a Us Weekly source, looked "friendly."  According to E! Online's Ted Casablanca: "They sat side-by-side the whole time. Taylor, who was sporting some heavy makeup and looking rather stiff and uncomfortable in the Brooklyn hot spot, managed to throw in a few smiles and laughs. Jake played the cool, older guy as he chatted with the waiters and couldn't stop smiling. Plus, our sources say he was looking super hot and proud of himself in his classic V-neck and sleek aviators." They were also spotted together strolling around Brooklyn's Park Slope neighbourhood.
Jake meets Taylor's mother
Tumblr media
On October 25, Gyllenhaal accompanied Swift to a taping of an NBC Thanksgiving special. He spent time in Swift's dressing room with the singer and her mother.
Weekend break in Big Sur and Santa Barbara, California
Tumblr media
From October 29 to November 1 the couple stayed at the exclusive Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur, California. According to PEOPLE, "they spent most of their time in their room - the most expensive one in the hotel, with a fireplace and ocean view-they did step out for a romantic dinner at Sierra Mar. They were very cute. They looked happy." An onlooker told Lainey Gossip that the couple "were seen together over breakfast and also by the pool. Swifty was wearing a beret. There was some handholding and their arms were around each other and she was touching his hair and getting lost in his cute ass amazing face." Us Weekly's witness saw the couple at the hotel's pool: "Taylor laughed at everything Jake said. At one point, she measured herself against Jake on her tiptoes." (An observer added that Gyllenhaal "held her hand.") Late on Monday November 1, the couple arrived in Santa Barbara, stopping for ice cream upon arrival. They came in [Monday]," an employee of McConnell's Ice Cream told E! Online. "There were young customers in here, and our girls who worked here are young and they recognized them right away. Everyone was excited and asked to take pictures with them, which they obliged to do. Taylor got a suggestion from one of our workers. They were very nice and seemed comfortable around each other. They weren't lovey-dovey though." Us Weekly reported: ""They looked at all the flavors and couldn't decide, so they asked the counter girls for help," a staffer says of the duo, who were "happy" and "friendly." "Taylor was very interested in what I was doing in the back making ice cream and said, 'Wow, you guys are legit!'" Their ice cream picks, which Gyllenhaal paid for: Swiss chocolate chip for him, yogurt with rainbow sprinkles for her. After savoring their treats inside McConnell's for about 20 minutes, the pair split. When they were approached by excited college-age fans in the parking lot, they "happily obliged" for photos. "They smiled a ton!"
Minibreak in London; dinner at the Paltrow-Martins
Tumblr media
On November 11, Swift jetted from Nashville to London and promptly holed up at the five-star Dorchester Hotel. Gyllenhaal, in town to promote Love and Other Drugs, was staying at the same hotel. Said a Us Weekly source: “It was a secret. Taylor came early to be with Jake [before her promotional duties.] It was a love-in!” The tryst marked the fourth weekend in a row they spent together. According to Us Weekly, Swift’s arrival in London was so stealth even members of her own camp hadn’t heard about the last-minute itinerary change. Neither ventured outside the luxe hotel, and on November 12, Swift ordered in Chinese food. “It was enough for two or three people!” says a hotel source. Not even staffers caught a glimpse of them together before Gyllenhaal left for NYC November 13 (Swift flew to Japan the next day). But the romance is definitely heating up. “He’s crushing on her,” said a Gyllenhaal source. And Swift, said an insider, is “excited. She wants it to be official.” During the trip, the pair "were driven from the Dorchester Hotel to Gwyneth and Chris Martin's house in Primrose Hill for dinner. Gwyneth seems to have played a role in their relationship." When USA Today later asked Paltrow about the intimate gathering with Gyllenhaal, 30, and Swift, 21, the actress initially tried to play coy. "Where is this coming from?" she asked, adding that she's "scared to say" much about the couple's blossoming romance. "It's so weird. I wonder how people find out these things. It was a while ago, so I don't know why it would come out today. I've just known Jake for a long time and he's a great guy, and Chris has a friendship with Taylor."
Thanksgiving with Jake at his sister's house in Brooklyn
Tumblr media
On November 25, Swift celebrated Thanksgiving with Gyllenhaal's extended family in Brooklyn, New York. Around 10:30 a.m., the pair popped into Park Slope's Gorilla Coffee for specialty maple lattes, made with pure Vermont syrup. "They were really sweet, really really sweet," said a source at the shop, adding that the duo also tipped well. "Taylor sipped Jake's maple lattee to try it and was giggling a lot. She looked like a high school girl in love for the first time. Jake was smiling at her the whole time. It was kind of sweet to watch. Jake is usually not chatty when he comes in, but with Taylor he was talking and laughing the entire time." They then stopped off at Union Market for last-minute Thanksgiving supplies. An onlooker said they were like "love-struck teens ... They seemed very comfortable together." A source told Us Weekly that Swift arrived in New York on Thanksgiving eve: "Jake invited her to New York for Thanksgiving. It wasn't planned in advance, but she said, 'Why not? I can do it, and I'm going.' Her parents weren't thrilled, but she explained to them that she gets to see them all the time and wasn't able to spend much time with Jake during the publicity madness. She loves his family and he loves hers. There was no diva behavior. She pitched in to cook and to clear the dishes. She also seemed very interested in the family and asked them a lot of questions about themselves."
Visiting Taylor's extended family in St. Louis, Missouri
Tumblr media
The couple then travelled to St. Louis on Taylor's private jet to spend time with her extended family. Before Thanksgiving, Swift had told reporters she planned to spend the holiday in St Louis: "I have a big family there and most of them are women so we'll all crowd in the kitchen and make things and tell stories and laugh. It's a good time."
Jake spends time in Nashville
Tumblr media
On November 27, the couple resurfaced in Swift's adopted hometown of Nashville, where they were spotted getting a late breakfast at Fido. "They were smiling and laughing. They were talking a lot and enjoying each other's company," a diner named Elaina Mishu told PEOPLE. "They didn't look like friends." Customer Emma Rice, who snapped a photo of the pair, called the duo "very cute" and said, "They seemed close. They were not trying to be discreet by any means. They were definitely a couple. They looked very happy." Later that day, they visited the Gaylord Opryland to look at the Christmas decorations and the Garden Conservatory. "She stayed close to him the entire time," an eyewitness told Us Weekly. That night, Gyllenhaal was spotted making a solo Whole Foods run. On November 29, they dined at Crema in Nashville. "They ordered two coffees at the counter. When they sat down, they stayed very close to one another and held hands for a second. They were just sitting there for about half an hour in really deep conversation. And when they were leaving, Taylor cleaned up the mess on the table. She seemed very nice!"
Tumblr media
On November 30, they stopped by Nashville's Frothy Monkey for coffee, with a source telling TMZ that the couple had visited the cafe for "several" consecutive mornings. An onlooker told Us Weekly: "She had her arm around his, and when they left they were holding hands." That night, they stopped by CityHouse for dinner.
Taylor visits Jake in LA; Jake calls cops on paparazzi
Tumblr media
As soon as she landed in L.A. in a private jet on December 8, Swift hightailed it to Gyllenhaal's Hollywood Hills home. The next day, the pair were spotted out on afternoon drive around town. As Gyllenhaal navigated his Audi, he also made an effort to amuse his date. "Jake and Taylor seemed to be catching up and were chatting nonstop in the car," an onlooker told PEOPLE. "Jake was making Taylor laugh and she looked very happy." However, later that afternoon, an angry Gyllenhaal called the police because of the paparazzi's dangerous driving. The couple was being followed while driving through a residential neighborhood in Beverly Hills. “This was scary,” a source close to Gyllenhaal told Gossip Cop. “This was not about a celebrity saying, ‘Don’t follow me,’” said the insider, adding that Gyllenhaal and Swift “felt they were in jeopardy.” But it wasn’t just Swift’s safety and his own that Gyllenhaal was concerned about. “There were people on the sidewalk, families” in the neighborhood who could have potentially been injured. “It was really dangerous,” reiterated the source, who said the police stopped six paparazzi cars that were right on Gyllenhaal’s car. Unfortunately, after Gyllenhaal drove on, there were four more paparazzi cars – out of the police’s view – who still followed the couple.
Tumblr media
Swift and Gyllenhaal were both spotted wearing pink plastic bracelets during the period, with Gyllenhaal revealing in an interview that it had been given to him by his niece, Ramona.
Tumblr media
Gyllenhaal was also photographed wearing a scarf, identical to one previously worn by Swift
Split announced in January 2011
News of a split broke in early January 2011. "Jake reached out to her and started all of this, but now he’s not acting as interested,” a source explained to Us Weekly about the breakup, which reportedly occurred right before New Year’s. “He said he wasn’t feeling it anymore and was uncomfortable with all the attention they got. Taylor is really upset. We told her not to move so fast with this, but she didn’t listen.” “Jake cares about her, but [the publicity] was a lot for him,” the source said. “He wants to keep his private life private, and that’s hard to do dating Taylor. Jake just told her it wasn't working out. Taylor is really upset and hurt. She doesn't know what she did for him to put a stop to it. She feels really burned by him."
Jake visits Taylor in Nashville
Tumblr media
On January 19, Swift and Gyllenhaal arrived quietly together at Bound'ry, a restaurant near Swift's Nashville condo, and were led back to a table for two, according to another patron. "They did eat," the patron told PEOPLE. "They were cordial to one another, but not affectionate." And another source told PEOPLE that they seemed friendly. "There was no holding hands, but they seemed happy together," the source says. "They sat next to the fireplace just chatting away."
Intense discussion at Vanity Fair Oscar party
Tumblr media
On February 27, Swift attended the Vanity Fair Oscar party with pals Emma Stone and Ashley Avignone. During the event, Swift and Gyllenhaal were seen "outside near the restroom having a discussion. It seemed a bit more serious – it certainly wasn't a 'Hi, how are you?' talk. It seemed like they were catching up, sorting something out." A Washington Post reporter seated near Gyllenhaal and Swift remarked: ""Gyllenhaal is using words like 'care' and 'feel'. It is not a good spot to linger."
Tumblr media
In late 2013, Swift shared: “I heard from the guy that most of 'Red' is about. He was like, ‘I just listened to the album, and that was a really bittersweet experience for me. It was like going through a photo album.’ That was nice." Maggie Gyllenhaal was asked in another 2013 interview if her brother was the subject of 'Red': "Y’know, I have no information on whether that’s happened or not but I think it’s kind of amazing to have a big pop song written about you, right?! As far as I know, nobody’s written any about me!"

Please get her legal assistance Taylor Swift!
Trigger Warning: Sexual Assault, Abduction, Abuse, Attempted Homicide
Dear @taylorswift,
I’ve decided to write here to you to ask for help because I know you believe in providing legal aid to sexual assault survivors.
On a recent episode of Chatty Broads, a woman named Chantelle Dashner-Griffith appeared to tell her story. In 2016 after graduating college Chantelle decided to spend a year backpacking in Europe. She eventually wound up in Switzerland where she encountered two ex-military American men who adbucted her, raped her, beat her to the point of permanent brain damage, and plotted her death. After she escaped the next day, she returned to her hostel and had to wait two hours for the Swiss authorities. They took her to the station, interrogated her for hours, THEN drove her 2 hours to the hospital. She got bandaged up, was made to go to a different police station for an additional interrogation, got her translator turned away, and faced pressure to stay in the country rather than return to her family. When her mother convinced them to let her go, they drove her to the hostel and told her to drive her rental car 4 hours to the airport (this was after she suffered SEVERE blows to the head). She came back to the U.S. and found that her case had been thrown away. Her lawyer dropped the case, the follow-up number hasn’t called back and her belongings were never mailed back to her. The American government claimed that because they were ex-military it was under their jurisdiction and then proceeded to release her attackers in England. Those attackers are now back in the U.S.
I’m writing to you @taylorswift because I know how outspoken you’ve been in your Netflix documentary and the Time’s Up initiative when talking about how the system does not protect or believe victims. If there’s any legal representation you can assist her with, I’m sure she would greatly appreciate it.
To everyone else reading, our job is to MAKE NOISE. Only The Young are gonna make the change, and we have to fight to do it. Spread her story. Share. Reblog. Tweet. Post. Do what you can and especially see if you can get Taylor’s attention on this! To the Massachusetts Swifties, I need you to send this story to...
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley: her office in DC can be contacted by phone at (202) 225-5111 or her IG handle is @ayannapressley if you want to send DMs   
Senator Elizabeth Warren: phone at her DC office is (202) 224-4543 and her IG handle is @elizabethwarren if you want to send DMs
Flood their offices with please to help this woman. No one deserves to suffer the indignity this woman faced, and some might as long as these two men roam free.
To learn more about Chantelle, and to offer her support, please look through the following:
FOLLOW her at: @chantelledg

Learning about your Blogger!
Tumblr media
Hello! 
If you have found your way to this blog, then you should know my name is Peyton! I am a college student at Ball State University and I have been around the sun twenty times. If you haven’t figured it out, I am twenty years old!
  Throughout this blog you may notice a few of my biggest interests: Taylor Swift, cats, music in general, and Taylor Swift. If you can’t tell I am a huge Swiftie and I am very proud of it! Growing up I would spend days and nights singing into my hair brush to all of her songs and acting out performances. Dorky? Yes, I am aware and even at twenty I may or may not still do so... Bonus! I met Mama Swift and was 3ft away from her, so I can say that if I died tomorrow I would be the happiest woman alive. I am a proud recipient of numerous ‘Chatty Cathy’ awards, since kindergarten, so I would say that makes me a certified extrovert. Life is extremely too short to not to anything ridiculous, trust me this gets good. I am the person who will dance, very poorly I might add, in the middle of the street at 2 am. Also, yes, I am the person around Christmas time that will roll my windows down and sing ‘All I want for Christmas is you’ in a serenade to anyone walking on campus. So basically I will do anything to get someone to smile and don’t mind embarrassing myself. I am a huge nerd as well, wining achievements through Origin. My favorite one is for how long I can consecutively play Sims nonstop without sleep. Seriously, it is an achievement, look it up. Last, but not least, I will be a die hard music junkie. I grew up in a music based family so what can you expect?
All interests aside, lets get into the nitty gritty, my background! I was born and raised on the east side of Indiana. I am an only child with a relatively small family. My father passed away while I was growing up, at the age of seven. Despite being bullied for his passing, I was able to build myself up and here I am now! I went to school in a very small town, where ‘Ride your Tractor to School day’ was a very serious spirit day to participate in.  If that does not describe most small town high schools in the midwest, then I don’t know what will. Through my high school years, I was your typical go-getter and was in a series of numerous clubs and extracurriculars, even starting my own. Being the president and leading so many clubs did not amount to the time I would dedicate to my choir. Even if I was the poor unfortunate soul who never had rhythm, or was falling off of the risers, I made a lot of incredible memories there. Through this blog, I hope all of the readers will gradually get to know me more through each post. My goal is to relate to my readers in a way that I hope we share common interests! What I choose to write about I hope readers will get to know me on a personal level, but also follow me on this fun little journey of life!
Alrighty! Let’s see where this goes!
Stay Purrfect!

Rebirth - Swift Part III
Swift looked out the diner window coldly. It was an old-fashioned place with a black-and-white tile floor, white walls with faded pastel blue and pink stripes zig-zagging across them. It was a fairly busy establishment, with patrons filling up almost all of the cracked pleather seats. They had obviously been reupholstered several times now, but the owners had given up on trying to maintain them. Normally Swift would have come here to people-watch, but today was different. Today he had a mission.
A waitress came up to the booth and asked if he was ready to order. He forced a smile, nodded, and told her his usual order. As she left, Swift turned back and kept looking out the window. His frown intensified. Someone else was not sharing his sense of urgency today.
“Someone sittin’ here?” Swift looked over and saw a small, pudgy man standing just outside of his booth.
“You should know the answer to that question,” Swift responded with no humor in his voice. The man’s eyes widened and he took a seat across from Swift. “You’re late, Carson.”
“The Don himself had a job for me. There was an uppity flower shop that didn’t want to pay for its protection.” Carson waved the waitress over and ordered a coffee to start with.
“I don’t want to hear about it,” Swift shook his head, “Easier for me to stay ignorant of your plans so they can’t get anything out of me whenever London targets me.”
“Fair enough,” Carson locked his fingers together, “So what are you looking for?”
“I’m calling in a favor,” Swift’s response surprised Carson, “I need information.”
“You need information? What happened to your guy?”
“Shot and hospitalized right now.” Swift rubbed his forehead, “And Phonic is dead.”
“Phonic? The kid?” Swift nodded slowly. “That’s a damn shame. He was so smart.”
“I know. He only had a few more months of school before he was eligible to test for his ILD.” The waitress came back and put down his plate of hashbrowns and eggs, and Carson’s mug of coffee. She asked Carson for his order, and he responded by asking for a simple plate of pancakes. “He’d still be alive if we didn’t get bad intel.”
“Swift, I’m shook,” Carson shook his head and put a hand on his chest, “You think we gave Rock some bad intel?”
“I never said that, Carson,” Swift’s glare bore into the man, “But someone did, and I want to find out who.”
“Alright, alright, calm down.” Carson went back to his coffee, “The family owes you a favor--several actually--and I’m sure that the Don, reasonable man he is, will see that this is a fair exchange of favors.” Carson waved down the waitress again and asked if she had a paper and pen he could use. She came back a minute later with both the pen and paper, and a plate of three thick pancakes. Carson clapped his hands together like a giddy child, “I love the pancakes in this place. Have you tried ‘em before? Best pancakes in all of Capital City.”
“Well, I’m sure it’s easy for them to make you the best pancakes.” Swift’s humor was never too far away from him.
“Nah, we don’t ever shake this place down. It’s a safe haven.” Carson poured syrup on top of each pancake in the stack, “It sits on a lot of our borders. Not worth it for any of us to get into a war with the others over.” He looked up at Swift, “So, you want information, I need details. Who else are you callin’ in a favor with?”
“I’ve got a large network and am calling in as many favors as I got,” Swift responded dryly, “You want me to waste your time and list them all off?”
“Look, I don’t want to waste my time neither. But if I know that you’re already calling in the Machelli family for information, then I don’t have to ask them anything myself.”
“I don’t think Machelli or his goons would know anything about it. We hit somewhere in the Trick gang’s territory.”
“Trick? Who’d be stupid enough to try and work under their noses?”
“Who else? The Iblanites.”
“Shit,” Carson dropped his pen and leaned back in his seat, “You’re telling me they shot Rock and Phonic? My friend, I don’t know how many favors you have to call in, but there aren’t enough in the world to get you any dirt on those sons of bitches.”
“You don’t think I don’t know that?” Swift slammed a fist on the table, bringing more attention to the two of them than needed. Carson motioned for him to calm down and Swift sighed angrily as he waited to continue. “Look, Carson, I know trying to get anything about the Iblanites is damn near impossible, but I can’t not try.”
“And of course they wanted to do work in Trick turf.” Carson rubbed his forehead, “You know the Bavrati family and the Trick gang have been at odds for decades now.”
“I figured you could get a hold of one of them easier than I can. They aren’t ‘favor’ people.”
“I know how much you like your favors.” Carson took a bite of his pancakes, “Well, I’m sure the Don will be reasonable with your request, but I’ve gotta tell you, this is probably gonna cost you more than one favor.”
“I’m aware of that, Carson. But I’ve been doing a good job at keeping other people out of your turf, so I’m sure I’ve got a few to spare.”
“Well, it’s more than that, Swifty.” Carson looked around to make sure nobody was listening. He then leaned in on the table, and Swift joined him. “He might want you to turn a blind eye if we make a move to expand. You understand that?”
Swift frowned, “You know I don’t like that option. You make one wrong move and all hell breaks loose, there will be a lot of innocent people dead on the streets.” He sat back and crossed his arms, “But if you just happen to see a weak point in Trick territory, then you might find me helping to keep them out.”
“Really now?” Carson sat back and nodded his head, “Is that a promise?”
“I don’t make promises I can’t keep.”
Carson took another bite, “The Don will appreciate a tip like that. I’m sure we can work something mutually beneficial out.” The two enjoyed their meals for a few minutes. “So Phonic is dead, huh?” Carson broke the silence. Swift nodded.
“I don’t know what the fuck I’m going to do with his body. I can’t afford to do anything.”
“Well, I’m sure the Don could make some arrangements for a member of the family--”
“I’m not joining the family, Carson. I’ve told you, Don Bavrati, Don Machelli, Snake, Monsoon, and every other goddamned crime lord and gang leader that I have ever made a deal with that I am not joining any of your families or gangs. I’ll do your odd jobs here and there, I’ll run security for you, I’ll play your guard dog--but I will not pick a side.”
Carson sighed, “I know, I know. Believe me, the Don would appreciate it if you picked a side--all of us would--but we respect your choice--for now.” Carson took another bite of his pancakes and ruminated on Swift’s dilemma for a moment. “Look, the Don likes you. He really does. You’re like another son to him. Hell, you almost were another son to him with that pregnancy scare and all.”
“How do I keep sleeping with all these important people’s daughters? It’s like I have the world’s worst compass that only points in the wrong directions.”
“Look, what I’m saying is that he might be able to lend you some assistance for a funeral for your friend.”
“I don’t need all the pomp and circumstance of a funeral. I just need someone to cover cremation and an urn.”
“Are you sure? The Don wouldn’t mind--”
“I will not be indebted to Bavrati any more than I already am. I will pay him back for a cremation and urn, but nothing more.”
Carson shrugged, “Alright. I’ll see what I can get for you.” The waitress came over with the bill and put it on the table. “Alright, well it looks like I got this.”
“No, I’ve got it.” Swift snatched the bill up and looked it over. He folded a Q20 into the ticket and set it back onto the table. “I hope to hear from you soon, Carson. Hopefully you’ll have some good news for me.”
{This one’s a little chatty, but it’s important for the story, I promise.
