also. idk who needs to hear this but like…maybe let’s not be armchair psychologists and speculate about a singer’s mental health conditions based off an album? let her be a broody moody teenager without trying to diagnose her smh

#taylor swift #and in a similar vein maybe let’s not romanticize mental illness #like it’s not an ~aesthetic~ #it’s not ~cute~ #ttpd

why did taylor swift go to the lana del rey school of silly song titles for this album

#taylor swift #lana del rey #disclaimer i like them both #but my boy only breaks his favorite toys #and but daddy i love him #it’s not quite grandfather please stand on my father’s shoulders while he’s deep sea fishing #but the vibes are weirdly similar

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something

#i’ve read like one book so far this year that’s made me feel something #granted i’ve only read like six books but still

[thefaketeam]

I feel like the last few years have been a lot of change for me. I didn't realize how much I had grown until I looked back, so our little ghostie friend is here to remind us.

do you ever think about the fact that pretty little liars made us children believe a student teacher relationship was *consensual* and even *romantic* for seven years and get the ick or is it just me

#tag how old you were during pll’s original run and when ezra first gave you the ick #i was 11-18 and he gave me the ick from season 2 probably #i’m sincerely hoping that anyone 18+ is in agreement but the people who were full adults who went HARD for ezra fitz…….y’all pls stop #pll #pretty little liars #anti ezra fitz #this is not a safe space for ezra fitz #cw

Pride and Prejudice (2005) + tumblr posts part 2 (part 1)

#i haven’t stopped thinking about what excellent boiled potatoes since i started my p&p reread like three weeks ago #p&p is a perfect book and p&p 2005 is a perfect movie #you can’t change my mind #pride and prejudice #p&p

oh, and writing literally anything—could be a two sentence diary entry, could be actually bad fanfiction, could be the next terrible american novel, i literally don’t care

my goals this year are to read more for fun, go on more walks just cuz, and bake more (preferably breads). oh, and to watch more (scripted) tv instead of rewatching terrible reality tv shows for the millionth time

#and i’m posting about it on tumblr because i hope that i can manifest it subconsciously and actually do it #making a fourth friend could also be nice #maybe i’ll even go to the movies for the first time since 2018 #but bread reading and walks are at the top of the 2024 to do list #personal

there was no perfect path. you did not get punished. your life did not unravel when you made a left turn. the memory will always be there. you can visit whenever you want. there is no alternate timeline where you made a better choice and got a happier ending. you were a little girl chasing the ice cream truck, playing hopscotch, swinging and aiming for the never ending blue. yes, the grief was waiting up ahead. but so was the miracle of saturdays in a car headed wherever you wanted to go. enough sky to wrap around every wound. friends who, despite your perennial bouts of silence, kept an ear close at all times.

#this post made me feel all warm and fuzzy

one of my favorite and also least favorite things is reminding my coworkers how young i am. like saying i am just a little bit older than the movie a beautiul mind (2001) and seeing their looks of horror and shock. because then they’re like oh damn we’ve been talking about gen z’ers and there’s one among us. like hey. i’m just here…existing

#the audacity #as if two fifths of our counseling staff is not gen z #yes i just did the math #and i love her but my coworker who makes fun of gen z the most is just BARELY a millennial #one of my coworkers thought a student whose application we were reading was older than me #and i was like dude i’m not THAT young this student graduated hs in 2019 and i graduated COLLEGE in 2021 #but i am still…content with being 24 #(not that i can ever remember my actual age but like whatever)

the men and boys are innocent too.

we cry "the innocent women and children" to appeal to the masses, to try and force their sympathy, but the men and boys are innocent too.

I have seen sons crying out for their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. I have seen them break down at the loss of their families. I have seen them cling to their dead and grieve.

I have seen fathers cradle their dead children, seen them kiss their faces and hold their little hands. I have seen them faint with grief when asked to identify the dead. I have seen them carry their sons and daughters. I have seen them fasting to provide what little they can for their families.

I have seen men and boys digging through the rubble with just their bare hands, I have seen them comforting strangers, playing with children, rocking them, hushing them, even if the face of such imminent danger. I have seen them cry, seen them grieve, seen them break down into each other's arms, seen them be selfless, beyond selfless, becoming something I don't have a word for.

I have seen the men who are doctors refuse to leave their patients, even when they have no medicine or supplies to give them, even when they're threatened with bombings. I have seen fathers who have lost all their children pick orphans up into their arms and proclaim them their child so they are not alone. I have seen men and boys digging pets out of the rubble.

the men are innocent too. the men and boys are being hurt and killed too. the men and boys are grieving too. the men and boys are scared too. the men and boys are fighting to save their people too. the men and boys deserve to be fought for too.
