🎶 They’re burning all the witches even if you aren’t one…..so light me up! 🔥

As I’ve been listening to TTPD, Who’s afraid of little old me keeps scratching something in my brain.

Obviously the line “So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street” gives an immediate “they’re burning all the witches” call back. The whole concept of the crazy hysterical dangerous woman who dared to stand up for herself and tell the truth.

But every time I hear that line I picture The Chicks standing together in their Salem Witch Trials looking attire in I’m Not Ready To Make Nice, holding hands and telling the world fuck you! I’m pissed!

So I finally sat down this morning and watched the music video (which I haven’t for years) and WOW! 🤯 Watch it guys!

The black and white imagery….the dress….the insane asylum….so much Fortnight music video connections!

The way they start off in white then end up on black just like Taylor in Fortnight.

We know Taylor loves The Chicks and how they were used as a Clara Bow of sorts in her early career…..warning warning….don’t be like them! Be the nice girl!

I think this link was intentional. It’s sad seeing how the entertainment industry takes women and chews them up and then brands them as crazy dangerous hysterical women when they break the status quo and start speaking up. That has been Taylor’s whole career. When she does what the world wants…plays the nice girl, dates the football star, writes the love songs, it’s all good. When she gets messy and real and speaks the uncomfortable truths…

(Like say….. “I choose the 1830s but without all that racism and toxic patriarchy”)

Everyone recoils…..no one wants to hear those things because then we would have to acknowledge them and change them.

One other image kept coming to mind as well. The intro to the movie Practical Magic….the whole leap from the gallows….

Combined with the Burning all the witches line it definitely ties this album to the reputation era.

I really hope reputation tv and those vault tracks she herself says are 🔥 (more burning the witches imagery!) will be her claiming her failed coming out. It really does feel like she’s replaying that whole time of her life again for us. The performance art is so loud. TTPD is the very veiled first step like rep was.

It makes me wonder if maybe someday we might get a new version of Lover….the way it was supposed to be. One can hope!

Sometimes I try to wonder what it's like to be Adrian Pasdar. You were on Heroes and some other stuff, and you had a fanbase.

And you were married to one of the loudest, most unapologetic feminist voices in country music, Natalie Maines, who has a band with two other unapologetic feminists: Martie Maguire and Emily Strayer. Three people who won CMAs and still played all the county fair gigs they'd already signed on for because it was just the right thing to do.

And, at every turn, when The Chicks are taken to task for being "too much," they double down, and you, Adrian Pasdar, are likely in the room several times when your wife writes scathing fuck you lyrics of those accusations. You were definitely around for "Not Ready to Make Nice," when Natalie said, "We're embarrassed George W. Bush is from Texas," and then The Chicks got covered in death threats, and when they showed up with a new song, it was a literal "eat shit fuckos" to everyone who thought they should "shut up and sing." (link)

And then your wife, beloved and respected musician Natalie Maines, realizes you're a cheating fuckboy and decides to divorce you.

And you, Adrian Pasdar, decide you have to fight for every last penny of HER FUCKING MONEY and also TRY AND GET IT IN WRITING THAT SHE'S NOT ALLOWED TO WRITE SONGS ABOUT YOU BEING A CHEATING FUCKBAG.

And after YEARS in the courts because you wanted to get your dick wet wherever you could but you didn't want to face consequences, your wife and her two friends come out of semi-retirement as a trio to release a blistering, pointed, and FUCKING ANGRY album about the state of the world--including your dick wandering and attempts to hide it.

And it's a fucking banger.

And you could have avoided all of this simply by knowing you wife well enough to NOT tell her she's not allowed to say certain things.

Like, would The Chicks album post-Pasdar been a fucking banger without his fuckboy antics? Absolutely. The Chicks are fucking rad. But he thought he could scare Natalie into NOT dragging his ass. Which, like. ARE YOU NEW HERE.

Hi, i found your page and i love what you do.

i wanted to ask if i could request poetry with a hanahaki disease inspiration/theme? i'm kinda going through some stuff right now and found an obsession for it that's helping me cope.

thanks in advance if you find any, and sending lots of love

finding things related to/about hanahaki disease specifically was really hard so this is mostly about heartbreak but i tried my best. i hope you're doing okay <33
