But why the 1989 hate?

Simple, my dear anon. I dislike 1989 because it came out directly after RED and capitalism.

my all time favorite album is RED and before that, it was Speak Now. These two albums made me realize that Taylor is a brilliant songwriter, she has the ability to connect with people just by words. There's a reason why we all decided that All Too Well is her best song because it made everyone who heard feel like they're going through their first real heartbreak, ( even if they hadn't been in a relationship yet ). RED is also that rare album that has at least four different types of music on it going from country to rock to file to pop. Speak Now is technically pop but more " classical ". Taylor really shown that she is a force to reckon with and then RED lost AOTY. It was obvious that it hurt her deeply because she worked so hard on it and she didn't win a single Grammy and was ridiculed of her All Too Well performance so she decided to create the greatest album of her career so far.

1989 is the album that finally got people to take her seriously and was received as her greatest album yet, even getting a cover album by Ryan Addams and winning three Grammys. However, if you remember what 2015 was like then you would know that the only way you could listen to it was to either buy it on iTunes or a physical copy and every 15 second video from tour was taken down for copyright so you couldn't listen to even watch any performance of literally any songs legally which if you didn't have iTunes, you were screwed. Even worse was the fact that the 1989 world tour was only on iTunes ( at the time ) and if you got the three month free trial, it'd expire around the time the New Romantics video had dropped and I believed that you had to pay to watch it? Paying to watch a four minute edit of a tour movie that came out three months before? No. Just no.

Now I do not hate the songs on the album, I love them but I hate the album because Taylor seemed like she had disowned her previously albums in favor of 1989, every person on earth had praised it as the greatest pop album ever and the greedy capitalism of the entire era!! I hate 1989 and the whole era because I was 16 when it came out and because I had no job and refuse to ask my parents to buy it for me because I didn't want to be anymore on a financial burden on them. This was the era when you needed MONEY where all the merch prices went up along with tickets. I hate 1989 because it changed everything.

Today Taylor is back on Spotify and even put Lover on YouTube for all to listen and I know it was probably BMR's fault for all the capitalist ideas but but 2014-2016 was awful for swifties. I'm sorry for the rant and I hope you have a good day/night, ( depending when you read this. )

i understand that it's unreasonable to expect a band on world tour to play in every country in the world but i do think they should only be allowed to call it a world tour if they play in every continent. we need to make it embarrassing to say world tour and then not even step foot in africa

This is your reminder today that Irene Adler in the original Conan Doyle story is literally not a criminal. She never commits a crime.

[thehumantrampoline]

Nor is she a seductress in any kind of negative or manipulative sense - she has a mutual relationship with a powerful man who then breaks up with her, and afterwards she keeps protection against him in the form of evidence that the relationship existed. She HAS blackmail material, she even waves it at him threateningly because he treated her like shit, but she never even uses it.

Irene Adler is not a thief, femme fatale, or blackmailer. She's just a cool lady that wants to be left alone.

[thehumantrampoline]

@delphi-star You do recall correctly!! She does not give a shit about that man! She's happily married! She tipped him for being a witness at her wedding!

If your Sherlock Holmes adaptation has a character whose identifying qualities are that she is a seductive criminal in love with Holmes, you have created a character that is basically the literal opposite of Irene Adler and you should name her something else.

Little girl teaching her cats how to draw a flower

[hottiewitabloggie]

they’re? just? sitting there ???

[ladycavalier]

it makes it 100% better that i can’t understand her, i feel like i’m hearing what cats hear

[socialistexan]

[crtter]

Heh, she’s speaking Portuguese! Here’s what she’s saying:

*baby voice* “… and if you have any questions, just ask me! And now… yeah. And now you draw the roots. You draw them all twisted up! Got it? A flower? Now draw it. Did you get it, Luis Roberto? Did you get it, Jurandir? Look. Did you get it? That’s how you draw a flower.”

Luis Roberto and Jurandir are people names (Jurandir is especially a name associated with older men) so it’s extra funny that the cats are named that, heh.

For anyone who is still haunted by that scene in Sherlock.

I love Josh’s anti-classism so much. I grew up in a single parent household that didn’t have time/the ability to cook. I taught myself as an adult and ended up loving it. I cook with this stuff a lot. Shit, the RealLemon juice ends up in a lot of my cocktails. Sure, I like fancy ingredients when I can afford them and I have things I get picky about using - but I have bad hands, mincing garlic is painful as fuck. There’s a lot to be said for knowing how to work with what you have. Don’t shame people for trying, don’t shame people for feeding their families things that they enjoy.

[brunhiddensmusings]

if you are only a good cook if you have access to premium ingredients at whole foods or above prices then you arent really a good cook

[headspace-hotel]

I think about this post a lot because of the phrase "i'll cook anyone's ass under the table."

girl in horror movie holding a bible open: “according to legend, a mob tortured a half-man, half-god, and nailed him to a wooden cross, leaving him to starve to death. But days later, on this very night, they found he had clawed his way out of the grave. Now those who believe lie in wait for him to rise again, To honour him, they have weekly gatherings where they chant and sing, and at the end of it they eat his flesh and blood.”

girl’s friend: “wow.. thats so creepy…”

There's something thats just so incredibly funny about the Afroman lawsuit cause theres literally no substance to it. Seeing all these cops getting upset and offended by Afroman music in a courtroom setting is just so fucking funny. Like a lawyer asking a cop "what private information of yours exactly was breached by the phrase "receding hairline dipshit"?" Like you could have saved yourself the extra humiliation, but instead you guys took it to court and now everyone has seen your sheriff literally break down crying over a song that says she licks pussy. Thats just objectively hilarious

[digitalwizard01]

I can't get over this. Afroman releasing individual diss tracks about each of the cops is so good. Cause like its one thing to make one or two songs about the house raid, but then to proceed to make a song called "Randy Walters is a son of a Bitch", call him out by name and say you fucked his wife, and then have that same cop go on court record saying he cannot confirm or deny that he got cucked by Afroman. Like congrats man. Before, everyone just thought he was joking about fucking your wife, but now you wont deny it
