All the critics of the latest Taylor Swift album that aren't critical of it are calling her body of work universally relatable am I crazy or what?

I don't find her work relatable at all. I see her singing about being the homely outcast girl looking at the cheerleader's boyfriend and wishing she could have him, like, while looking like the platonic ideal of a white nationalist's wife. She exudes girl that was mean to you in high school but manages to twist the story so she's always the victim.

What are the major media outlets and their reviewers smoking?? Just because all your teenage daughters listen to it doesn't mean it's good or universally relatable.

I mean I have an extra chip on my shoulders because she wasted public funds on being my mayor for a day but Christ

Her music isn't good? It has nothing. Truly catchy in it, so that when you hear it on the radio you're like, damn that's good. It's calculated down to the point of banality. Is there some collective psychosis going around or have the reviewers just drunk the Kool-Aid?? I'm so confused

Being haunted by phrase "unknown lover" what is it referring to

On a related note, I listened to Laufey for the first time this week and it is so damn beautiful but the lyrics make me physically ill.

[leguillemet]

It kills me every time that that part of Messy by Lola Young never rhymes. Where the hell you've been with the line that ends with clean. People say it like that, you wrote it like that. Please just say been like clean. I even went and listened to the whole song just to make sure that I'm not hallucinating.

that's a happy ending, kindness in action can do some good here and there.

[Me since 2022:] oh you know I'm doing fine... haven't logged into Instagram on purpose, healthy living, haha, got a pay rise this year! Definitely not literally tearing up every time I hear this song even when it's on repeat.

[ID: text reading,

"Poetry outlasts everything. It's a primeval spirit. It's probably the firs speech. It comes with speech. It's what children do, when they play first with their words. And it comes from nowhere, and it always goes on. And there's no way to lose it, but people don't know how to find it. People think they don't know how to read it, and that they don't have any need for it. Maybe they don't have any need for it. I don't know. The world has poetry inside it anyway."

Today on honey, I accidentally comparative linguistics the fandom: I found out that the compound words used to mark a relationship and fandom don't carry the same meaning in Russian than they do in English which deeply tickled me.

I was going to add the caveat 'unless things have changed linguistically since I last understood the grammar', but these things are being taken from the same source so that is controlled for, essentially.

Anyway if I see Jayviks, plural, in English, then I'm assuming that you're referring to people who ship that ship.

Meanwhile, Russian джейвики is essentially being used like 'brangelina attended the concert.'

And honestly, ymmv, but even in the singular in English I'm going to assume that that's referring to the ship-related material like art or fics or whatever instead of the actual characters going and doing something.

This kind of nuance is so delicious I'm love it.

This song is the first I've encountered that uses in the round in the way that...

My vibes based understanding of music from the Beethoven class I took in Uni is like yes this is exactly what in the round should be used for...

You know, the build up before the drop.

Management made us move all of our stuff so that they could do some intense electric work and there was a moment yesterday when I was moving all my stuff back and I was on my back under my raised bed. As I was tucking something in I just grabbed on to the metal bars and pulled myself forward to tuck it on the other side... And I have to say cats know what they're doing, that shit is fun. Bed frames are a secret jungle gym, you heard it here first.
