“A tale that becomes folklore is one that is passed down and whispered around. Sometimes even sung about. The lines between fantasy and reality blur and the boundaries between truth and fiction become almost indiscernible. Speculation, over time, becomes fact. Myths, ghost stories, and fables.”

also dont like feeling as if being angry at taylor for making a bigger fuss about her money, her image, and her music than black people being senselessly killed means that im focused on “the wrong thing” or not putting my attention where it should be. im angry because after years of supporting and celebrating this woman i am given an aggressive reminder that no rich white woman should be depended on for activism. that shit especially hurts because she made an entire documentary about how much she suddenly cares about politics and injustice and is suddenly just a whisper in the crowd. it shouldnt have taken a week for her to promote donation links and petitions and as grateful as i am to her for doing-so, it makes me so angry that it took her this long, this many tweets from fans, this many posts from fans, to do so. you wanna talk the talk then walk the walk too. i understand bringing attention to the lack of use on her platform can derail fans’ attention but it needs to be fucking said. it angers me that this is a woman who’s platform is built on the privilege given to her by the color of her skin, made a huge deal about the movie she was releasing about recognizing this privilege and is practically nowhere to be seen in the midst of this huge movement that could use the support of her platform. being political isnt a fashion statement, it’s not a trend and it’s not an aesthetic. all im saying is that i have the right to be angry at a woman i have supported as long as i have doing ~just enough~ at a time like this.

TAYLOR I CAN VOTE

I AM OFFICIALLY AN AMERICAN CITIZEN!!! @taylorswift i know you know how much you speaking up about politics has meant to me and I am so so excited to tell you that I can finally VOTE!! It’s been hard to stand by and not be able to do anything while I watch the country I love change in ways that hurts so many people, and now that I’m a citizen I’m so excited to get to use my voice (and vote!!) for good. Thank you for constantly inspiring me and for using your voice to speak out about injustices and push for people to vote for change when I felt like my voice was silenced with my inability to vote. Thank you for caring about the struggles minorities like me are going through and have gone through. And thank you for caring enough about me and my personal struggles in Alabama and inviting me into your home and letting me talk and hug it out with you. I’m endlessly grateful for you and now I’m endlessly grateful for the fact that I can vote to make a difference in this country. You’ve taught me over and over again that one person can make a difference and that every single voice counts and is valued. I love you so so much (and once again per my last letter to you I’m crying but happy tears I promise!) and I’m so so excited to be able to VOTE in the upcoming elections. You’ve always made me proud so I hope I’ll be able to make you proud too. Love you a long time T

PLEASE HELP ME PAY MY MEDICAL BILLS

https://www.gofundme.com/please-help-kylee-pay-her-medical-bills

My good friend, Jess, already made a post which you can read here. I didn’t want to ask for help for obvious reasons so Jess did for me. I have received over $4,000 through this gofundme and I can’t begin to explain how grateful I am for just that. However, because of recent and very unexpected changes, I went from thinking that I owed the hospital $7,000 to now owing them $42,000. So I’m making my own post to raise awareness to this because of how much I need any help that I can get.

-

Having to type this out is one of the hardest things that I’ve ever done, but I’m asking for help from the bottom of my heart.

My name is Kylee, I am 20 years old. In September of 2018, I traveled to St. Louis, MO with one of my best friends to see Taylor Swift on her reputation Stadium Tour. I could not attend as on the day before the concert, I was met with the most excruciating pain I have ever felt in my life. My appendix had burst inside of my body. I spent ten days in the hospital after I underwent a procedure to have my appendix removed laparoscopically. My appendix burst and was in the worst condition that my surgeon said she had ever seen. I did not get to leave the hospital until 10 days later because of the complications that came along with my surgery. The infection almost spread to my bloodstream which meant that I was borderline septic and because of this I was put on several antibiotics that did not seem to be working for me until they put a tube in my stomach. On top of the tube, I had to have a PICC line entered into my arm which went from my forearm all the way to my chest.

After I was released from the hospital, the PICC line and the tube in my stomach remained for almost a month. I met with a nurse every single week and my parents had to do nearly everything for me as I was on bed rest. This proved to be both mentally and physically taxing in a way that I had never experienced before. I felt absolutely helpless. I knew the bills were going to be astronomical but I was not anticipating $42,000. I was ordered bed rest and because of this, had to quit the job that I was with at the time which provided me benefits, but still did leave me with $42,000 to cover myself.

I am now at a job that provides me no benefits and a significantly lower paygrade. My state given insurance does not go back far enough to cover any of my medical expenses.On top of these medical expenses, I have my own bills to pay and my mother nor father can help with it due to the low income that they receive through social security and disability. I help pay for bills in my house, food, food for my pets, car insurance payments, my phone bill, gas, etc. I am $42,000 in debt with no way of knowing how I will pay for it.

I am a student and someone who rarely asks for help as it isn’t the easiest thing to do. I have dealt with financial hardship my entire life and I know I will get through this but this amount is unlike anything I’ve ever had to deal with. I desperately do not want to spend the rest of my life in debt. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me here or via my twitter.

Please, please, please reblog or donate if you can. As Jess said in her post, if you can’t donate much–or at all– don’t worry. Every little bit helps and I’m so grateful for the help that I’ve received so far. I will accept a penny, a dollar, anything. Even a simple reblog does more than you can even imagine. Again, please reblog or donate if you can. Thank you.
