Nashville shows: didn’t win the Ticketmaster war

Santa Clara: got scammed out of $300

Tokyo: Had to approve a charge this morning on my credit card, spent all day thinking about everything I was going to do in Tokyo, then I get this:

“Thank you for using our service.

After a strict and fair lottery, we are sorry to inform you, your entry has not been selected”

What in the actual fuck. The amount of sadness I have associated with this tour just fucking sucks.

Literally the only option to see this tour was to spend thousands of dollars (that I truly don’t have) and it is absolutely insane and bullshit.

Anyway where's my short film spinoff about Ken finally getting a real horse

[jollysunflora]

#look this movie does not need a sequel. it's very much meant to be a single movie. but a spinoff about Ken's horse adventures?#I'd watch the shit out of that

It is literally impossible to be a woman. You are so beautiful, and so smart, and it kills me that you don’t think you’re good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow we’re always doing it wrong. 

You have to be thin, but not too thin. And you can never say you want to be thin. You have to say you want to be healthy, but also you have to be thin. You have to have money, but you can’t ask for money because that’s crass. You have to be a boss, but you can’t be mean. You have to lead, but you can’t squash other people’s ideas. You’re supposed to love being a mother, but don’t talk about your kids all the damn time. You have to be a career woman, but also always be looking out for other people. You have to answer for men’s bad behavior, which is insane, but if you point that out, you’re accused of complaining. You’re supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you’re supposed to be a part of the sisterhood. But always stand out and always be grateful. But never forget that the system is rigged. So find a way to acknowledge that but also always be grateful. You have to never get old, never be rude, never show off, never be selfish, never fall down, never fail, never show fear, never get out of line. It’s too hard! It’s too contradictory and nobody gives you a medal or says thank you! And it turns out in fact that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also everything is your fault.

I’m just so tired of watching myself and every single other woman tie herself into knots so that people will like us. And if all of that is also true for a doll just representing women, then I don’t even know

Reading the reviews of fragile men who saw Barbie is both hilarious and infuriating.

The hardest thing you will have to do in life is to let go of the people you may want to hold onto. Sometimes, you will have to settle for loving someone from a distance, and that is okay. Because if you cannot show up for another human being the way you know you should, if someone cannot love you the way you need to be loved right now, if circumstance or space or the messiness of life is getting in the way of giving your whole self and nothing less than that to another human being, then you have to be honest. Do not suffocate your love. Do not ignore the way someone makes you feel about yourself in order to keep them in your life, do not ask for something to be more than it can be right now. Instead, appreciate it for what it was, appreciate the lessons it grew within you, appreciate the beauty you were able to feel, and appreciate the fact that in those ways, in those memories, it will be yours forever.

Taylor Swift's economic impact has caught the eye of the Fed

"The totality of Taylor Swifts' U.S. tour could generate $4.6 billion in total consumer spending, larger than the GDP of 35 countries," a re

(Excerpt)

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, which consists of 131 concerts across 17 states and 5 continents, has caught the attention of the Federal Reserve because of its noticeable economic impact. […]

"Despite the slowing recovery in tourism in the region overall, one contact highlighted that May was the strongest month for hotel revenue in Philadelphia since the onset of the pandemic, in large part due to an influx of guests for the Taylor Swift concerts in the city," the Fed said in its most recent Beige Book. […]

“The totality of Taylor Swifts' U.S. tour could generate $4.6 billion in total consumer spending, larger than the GDP of 35 countries," the Common Sense Institute said.

So if the economy manages to avoid a recession that so many are worried about, the US may have Taylor Swift and her deeply loyal fans to thank.

Wow, I didn't realize just how awful Twitter's interface had become until I started posting on Tumblr last night. You mean I can edit posts? For free?? Go back and add hashtags? Not have to fit stuff within ridiculously tiny character limits? See a whole conversation in the reblogs instead of clicking through quote tweets? Have a conversation in the reblogs and read it in sequence? I don't have to block a dozen trolls a day? People aren't telling me to off myself? This is so relaxing, omg. Elon, you done fucked up. Idk that I can go back to that, this is SO much better. Oh yeah, and I can use his name and make fun of him without worrying about losing my account, hehehehehe
