ME!

My name is Meghan, and I love Taylor Swift. Like Alot.

[hellboundheart]

i love the way they love

high school is soo funny in hindsight. the entire time you're there thinking it's the most important period of your life and then the second you're out you're like well that was fucking stupid

[just-shower-thoughts]

when your pet comes to you from another room, the preceding moments meant that they were alone somewhere and thought about YOU, an animal brain literally thought about you and came to you to see what you were doing. that’s love, unconditional.

as someone who uses they/them pronouns and works with children, never let anyone tell you that you can't or shouldn't teach children about pronouns and gender diversity. It's possible, it's easier than you'd think, and it's beautiful

highlights from this summer at camp, where I work as a program staff member:

-I come out of my cabin dressed in a button-up and a tie for our weekly fancy dinner. Eight-year-old boy A sees me and says "she looks nice!" Eight-year-old boy B cries out at the top of his lungs, "IT'S A THEY!"

-A very young girl I'd never spoken to approaches me at checkout, hands me what appears to be a piece of abstract origami, and walks away. I unfold one of the flaps to find "peace love pride gay" written inside

-Nonbinary campers are increasingly out and visible, and they notice me (our camp director now mentions me and our other nonbinary staff member when parents call with concerns about their nonbinary kids attending camp). One spends an entire programming hour glued to my side, talking emphatically about their favorite anime while we walk down the beach together. They later present me with a nonbinary flag friendship bracelet. They're eleven.

-Ten-year-old boy who typically has a great deal of difficulty controlling his impulses and responding appropriately to his emotions asks me suddenly over dinner whether I'm a boy or a girl. I thank him for asking me and tell him I'm not either. He responds, ever-so-chipper, "well, (camp name), I like you just the way you are!"

-Yet another rowdy ten-year-old boy, at the end of his second session at camp of the summer, tells me unprompted at dinner, "you know, (camp name), I'm really glad I came to camp, because you're the first they/them person I've met. I'm sorry if I get it wrong sometimes."

[slidingscale]

My 8 year old met a non-binary person at camp a couple of weeks ago (another child) and when I picked him up, I asked if he made any new friends and he said, “Yes, Nathan who is a boy and Ari who is neither a boy or a girl.” 

It was said with such certainty and when he mentioned Ari later, he referred to them as a “she” and then stopped and said, “wait, Ari uses they/them so they said...” He’s 8. Kids can absolutely learn this and have fewer problems with it than grown ups often do.

every now and then the internet decides it should revamp the ole “stop texting first and see how many friends you lose” when in reality you could literally just communicate that u feel bad that ur the only one texting first

[mebbrrr]

mfs are legit assuming that their friend isnt texting first because of how little they care abt their friendship when in reality they literally just dont know ur upset and didnt realize there was a problem in the first place. just talk to ur friends its not that hard and if they’re a bitch just tell them to kick rocks

[allamericansbitch]

the people trying to invalidate taylor’s trauma on being in two very an emotionally abusive relationships back to back with both men being 10+ years older than her when she was 19 and 20 by just standing up and being like ‘but she dated two eighteen year olds when she was 22/23’, as if those relationships are even on the same level of fucked up and arent direct trauma responses to what she was put through. therefore making her look like the bad guy in that situation and once again letting the 30+ year old men who date teenagers get off scot free and putting the blame on the victim in those situations. way to be part of the problem. 

[allamericansbitch]

also side note: it really is just the perfect example of how fucked up outrage culture is. like one celebrity calls out someone who did something wrong and explains how it affected them, but then there’s always some people will stand up all proud and be like ‘okay but you did a bad thing once too! And while it’s not even remotely as bad but i need to make your original point null and void and knock you off the woke pedestal in order to make room for myself’.

all too well (ten minute version) - taylor swift

There’s a reason Rolling Stone named Red the fourth best album of the last decade: it tells the story of a young woman finding her footing as a young adult, feeling happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time. If last year’s folklore and evermore proved Swift to be one of the greatest living songwriters, Red (Taylor’s Version) only confirms that she’s always been that good.

Not to be dramatic but I would do anything for ollie

[narwhalsarefalling]

oh yeah have i ever told yall of the academic war i have been an unwilling soilder in for the past two years

[narwhalsarefalling]

okay SO. i have two professors that both teach this one subject, but different classes. they have different last names, so i didnt know this at first and espically since they are academic RIVELS at my school, but they are MARRIED. but for the past 8 years they have been in an academic WAR of geospatical sciences data. more accurately, the raster vs vector data debate. i am personally on the side of “both have their pros and cons and can be utalizied to the utmost efficency” but both professors are like, DEADLOCKED in insistanting one is better then the other

so, professor A is my mentor. i like him a lot, and he was the main person that taught me the most abotu Eris and ArcGIS. professor B is a professor i had one for class, and shes nice and knows a lot of little tricks about Eris programming but mostly relies on arcMAP because shes the raster data professor.

and THESE MOTHERFUCKERS. have written no less then 30 papers that is basically like a “re: re: re: re: re: re: vector data is better then raster fuck you” but like, Professionally. and they leave stupid notes in the footnotes that read “Reguardless of Professor A’s opinions reguarding the efficency of Vector data, Raster data has a more efficant polygon computing rate and is the most commonly used program on interplantaring mapping” and its HILARIOUS

[narwhalsarefalling]

ive read all of their papers, and its basically like reading an email chain between a married couple arguing over the colors of the kitchen backsplash for their new home. its HILARIOUS. but obviously, because of their differnet last names and because they act like they HATE each other, NOT VERY MANY PEOPLE REALIZES THEYRE MARRIED

until like LAST WEEK

[narwhalsarefalling]

professor B publishes a paper that casually drops the word “husband”

and obviously all the students are like “oh i didnt know u were married!” because we read that shit like how white suburban mothers read People Magazine

[narwhalsarefalling]

and shes like “yeah, its Professor A”

[narwhalsarefalling]

and we all FLIPPED. THE FUCK. OUT

[narwhalsarefalling]

we thought the framed picture of the two of them on professor A’s desk was ironic because hes that type of guy

[narwhalsarefalling]

like, you gotta undestand. these two have gotten into YELLING matches in hallways. these two refuse to go onto trips with each other. but apparently they have a system where they quite LITERALLY leave all of their work at work and drive home in seperate cars and literally NEVER mention work at home. it is SO funny

[allamericansbitch]

Reputation invented the tactic of an artist suddenly deleting all of your social media and clearing out their past and starting something new, while also posting cryptic videos to gain attention and anticipation. Every other celebrity that does it now is embarrassing because it means nothing. She was publicly shamed, silenced, had to go into hiding for years and then had to reinvent her image to become the character people thought she was…. you just made another mediocre album Mary.
