the older i get the more i can understand why people back in the old fairytale days would just fuck off and be a hermit in the woods. just chilling out in the middle of nowhere and occasionally telling random heroes cryptic shit. living the fucking dream.

[bittyab18]

🤣 I always wanted to be rapunzel living in the tower, not because I wanted to be freed, but more because I hated people even as a child

[pure]

as a general rule. if what we’re calling ‘cultural appropriation’ sounds like nazi ideology (i.e. ‘white people should only do white people things and black people should only do black people things’) with progressive language, we are performing a very very poor application of what ‘cultural appropriation’ means. this is troublingly popular in the blogosphere right now and i think we all need to be more critical of what it is we may be saying or implying, even unintentionally.

[pyrrhiccomedy]

There is nothing wrong with everyone enjoying each other’s cultures so long as those cultures have been shared. 

Eating Chinese food, watching Bollywood movies, going to see Cambodian dancers, or learning to speak Korean so you can watch every K drama in existence is totally fine. The invitation to participate in those things came from within those cultures. The Mexican family that owns the place where I get fajitas wants me to eat fajitas. Their whole business model kind of depends on it, actually. 

If you see something from another culture you think you might want to participate in, but you don’t know if that would be disrespectful or appropriative, you can just…ask. Like. A Jewish friend explained what a mezuzah was to me, recently. (It’s the little scroll-thing near their front doors that they touch when they come into their house. It basically means “this is a Jewish household.”)

“Oh, cool,” I said. “Can I touch it? Or is it only for Jewish people?”

“You can touch it or you can not touch it,” she said. “I don’t care.”

“Cool, I’m gonna touch it, then.”

“Cool.”

It’s not hard.

You want to twerk, twerk. I’ve never heard a black person say they didn’t think anybody else should be allowed to twerk. Just that they want us to acknowledge that they invented that shit, not Miley fucking Cyrus.

[queeranarchism]

It really boils down to three simple things:

Consent. Is the culture open to sharing this thing? (& don’t cheat by finding one person who consents while most of the culture disagrees.)

Context. If a culture is open to sharing a thing but it is a thing of great religious significance, take the time to learn what is a respectful way to treat the thing. Probably don’t use it as random decoration or sexualize it unless that’s what it’s for. 

Credit. Give credit and if possible, buy from the original creators so the money goes where the credit should be.

[taylorswift]

The music video for “cardigan” will premiere tonight, which I wrote/directed. A million thank you’s to my brilliant, bad ass video team - Cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, producer Jil Hardin, executive producer Rebecca Skinner, AD Joe ‘Oz’ Osbourne, editor Chancler Haynes, special effects wizards David Lebensfeld & Grant Miller and set designer Ethan Tobman. The entire shoot was overseen by a medical inspector, everyone wore masks, stayed away from each other, and I even did my own hair, makeup, and styling 😂 

[taylorswift]

folklore will have 16 songs on the standard edition, but the physical deluxe editions will include a bonus track called “the lakes.” Because this is my 8th studio album, I made 8 deluxe CD editions and 8 deluxe vinyl editions that are available for one week 😄 Each deluxe edition has unique covers, photos, and artwork. Available exclusively at https://store.taylorswift.com 

[taylorswift]

Most of the things I had planned this summer didn’t end up happening, but there is something I hadn’t planned on that DID happen. And that thing is my 8th studio album, folklore. Surprise 🤗Tonight at midnight I’ll be releasing my entire brand new album of songs I’ve poured all of my whims, dreams, fears, and musings into. I wrote and recorded this music in isolation but got to collaborate with some musical heroes of mine; Aaron Dessner (who has co-written or produced 11 of the 16 songs), Bon Iver (who co-wrote and was kind enough to sing on one with me), William Bowery (who co-wrote two with me) and Jack Antonoff (who is basically musical family at this point). Engineered by Laura Sisk and Jon Low, mixed by Serban Ghenea & Jon Low. The album photos were shot by the amazing Beth Garrabrant. Before this year I probably would’ve overthought when to release this music at the ‘perfect’ time, but the times we’re living in keep reminding me that nothing is guaranteed. My gut is telling me that if you make something you love, you should just put it out into the world. That’s the side of uncertainty I can get on board with. Love you guys so much ♥️

[bittyab18]

Insanely excited. Trying my damndest to stay awake for the premier of Cardigan. Plan to listen to the entire album tomorrow

Writing Prompt: Dialogue

“Your older brother’s pretty hot, but does he always look like someone’s pissed in his coffee?” “Firstly, gross! Secondly, yes.”

[bittyab18]

Lol perfect #bellarke prompt...

Also, I support anyone that speaks out about violence they’ve experienced. I believe her.

I believe her, and I still enjoy the characters they play.

[teamfreewilllover]

About the Bob Morley situation:

I’m truly shocked by what I’ve read today. I have always stood by believing the victim first and foremost. I won’t be attacking Bob or Eliza but I am incredibly disappointed in this whole situation. I really looked up to these two actors since I was a teenager, and it’s made me realise once again that these people are just that.

Actors.

We really need to stop idolising these people we don’t even know. We don’t know what happens behind closed doors. Even if what Arryn has said turns out to be false, what I’ve just said is still important. I spent a lot of my teenage years thinking that actors were god’s who could do no wrong. I’m older now and a lot wiser.

Cancel culture shouldn’t be a thing because we shouldn’t need it in the first place. Stop idolising celebrities because I know I will be.

[spyecho-deactivated20220208]

we don’t know exactly what happened in a relationship we are not a part of, but when in doubt it is always better to support the victim.

if you support the victim and you’re wrong, at least you have shown that victims can share their story and be heard.

if you defend the abuser and you’re wrong, you are silencing victims and enabling abuse.
