''My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys'' original lyrics:
''Oh, here we go again, the voices in his head, Ring out louder than our midnights sighs''
''There was a litany of reasons why It could have been different this time I know I'm just repeating myself''
''I'm queen of the kingdoms he destroys''
''Cause I knew too much, there was danger in the heat of my touch He said forever then he blew it up''
''He was my best friend and that was the worst part I felt more then in brief moments than with all the Kens Cause he took me out of my box left all these broken parts And kept my tortured heart''

I am going to say something that might piss people on this site off, and that is that the stabbing at a Taylor Swift themed event in Southport does not exist in a vacuum.
It exists in a world where a joke about bringing a nail gun to the Eras tour to shoot fans gets 400k likes on TikTok, or where a reel about crashing a plane full of Swifties gets 200k likes on Instagram. It exists in a world where, on this very website, the one that promotes itself as rational and reasonable, someone says that "Taylor Swift and her fans should all die violent horrible deaths" and people applauded it. It exists in a world where, during TTPD release week men were in Swifties' comment sections declaring they would beat their daughters and girlfriends if they ever so much as listened to one of her albums. And it exists in a world where this week, fans of a TV show (which I will not name because that is not the point) sent death threats to a girl on Twitter for daring to be a fan of both their beloved show and Taylor Swift.
I don't give a fuck what your opinion of Taylor Swift is. I don't care if you think her music is grating, I don't care if you think she is the worst thing to happen to humanity since Eve ate the god damn apple. This is the dark side of stan culture that no-one talks about; where dislike of an artist becomes so obsessive that it becomes normal, even funny, to joke about killing their fans, because "it's just online, it's just a joke". It isn't. It is rarely ever "just online".
And yes I am going to be That Person and say that you can complain about Swift's brand of feminism and debate her position as a feminist icon all day long, at the end of the day, her name is still synonymous with girls. It doesn't take a genius to work out who this event was geared at.
I am not going to sit and claim that by simply not liking Taylor Swift you directly caused this. I would encourage you to step back, look at the bigger picture of stan culture, including obsessive dislike of an artist, and ask yourself how much this culture has enabled this. If making jokes on tiktok about killing someone over a pop star is normalised, how much of a leap is it to attacking kids with a knife at a fan event?
and of course there is the fact that the british media didn't even wait until those kids were buried before using this event to spread their racist, anti-immigrant agenda despite the race of the attacker not being known. all I can say to that is I am sickened and disappointed but not shocked.
the original lyrics for my boy only breaks his favorite toys:
“oh, here we go again, the voices in his head, ring out louder than our midnight sighs”
“i’m queen of the kingdoms he destroys”
“there was a litany of reasons why it could’ve been different this time”
“he said forever, then he blew it up”
“he was my best friend and that was the worst part”
“‘cause he took me out of my box, left all these broken parts, and kept my tortured heart”
Taylor after the crowd's cheering after champagne problems tonight!

“I’ve never been sexually assaulted in a drag show, but I have been in church. Twice.” — local Tennessee mom Jessee Graham GOES OFF on far-right extremists banning books & targeting LGBTQ+ human beings. God is not pleased.
She's a great ally.
Anybody else ever think about how convenient it is that cold sinks and ice floats











I'm starting a collection

as a CSA survivor I honestly think that the number one way to prevent child abuse is to surround kids with adults who treat them with respect. partially because it means there are people for kids to turn to in times of crisis. but also it makes kids way less vulnerable to the magnetism of “wow this adult is the first person to treat me as a human being. better do whatever I can to keep their respect”
Took me until about halfway through college before I realized “study” means “play with the material in a variety of ways until you understand it” and not just “read the assigned chapters and do the homework” and I think that probably should have been discussed at some point prior to that.

how dare you question the amazing method of farming that gives us so much food by simply killing the soil and leaving lands barren without maintaining the resources that make it work in the first place.
last year i got 1800 bushels of corn by killing the soil, as opposed to before when i only got 1200 by not killing the soil. surely i can simply keep killing more soil
real people being partially closeted or ambiguous about their own sexuality while making Gay Art is not queerbaiting

Never laugh at or mock people's fear, or people's fear responses, no matter how irrational or ridiculous you think the fear is or how silly or ridiculous you think someone's fear response is.
If you think it's ridiculous that someone is afraid of taxadermied animals, or ducks, or small house spiders, because "those things can't actually hurt anyone so why do they scream or startle when they see one?" Guess what? They didn't choose to be afraid of those things, they didn't choose to react by screaming or startling when they see one.
Chances are they'd absolutely love to get rid of those fears and would in a heart beat if they could. You're not helping at all by making them feel ridiculous.
Nobody likes being afraid. If you don't have any irrational fears or phobias, I'm genuinely happy for you because you're extremely lucky. But understand that people with irrational fears or phobias do not choose them and definitely do not enjoy having them.
And you should never instigate someone's fear just because you think their fear response is funny. It doesn't matter how funny you think your co-worker sounds when she sees a rat, or how funny you think your cousin looks when he sees a taxadermied animal, it's never okay to put another person in distress for your own amusement. Making another person distressed for your own amusement is the behavior of bullies and abusers.
It's one thing to jump out from behind a corner and shout "boo!" at your friend that you're positive you have that kind of relationship with them and you're positive that they're okay with it and find it funny too, but it's another thing entirely to take a spider you found in the storage room and shove it in your co-worker's face because you think them screaming and begging you to get it away from them is funny.
Do you think they find it funny or amusing at all? Have you bothered to check at all if they're okay with being tormented for your amusement? Why do you think it's okay to put them in distress for your own amusement?

I think I agree with a few actually
perfectly good heart - is one I think I'll love when it's in her mature voice on # debut taylor's version # but on the original it might be my least favorite
# fearless:
# I might agree about bye bye baby # but on the original fearless I think my least favorite would be change # I like it # but there's just something about it # the rest of the album is so good # it just doesn't hit as hard # like
# hey stephen taylor's version # goes so ridiculously hard
# for speak now:
# speak now taylor's version # is so hard to pick a least favorite # but if I had to I might pick never grow up # or timeless
never grow up - I like it as an adult but idk my inner child finds it kinda sad, like as a child I think I liked it but it hit different cause I wanted to grow up
timeless - I have to say, although I love the song (did she do a mashup with timeless??), I just think I would like it better if it wasn’t quite as long
# red:
# I’m sorry you’re so wrong about girl at home
# I think my least favorite might be # the very first night (Taylor’s version) # on the original I think it might have been # the last time # cause I like it but I just don’t like it as much as the other songs
# 1989:
# again I think I actually agree # bad blood # as in the original is usually a skip for me # HOWEVER # I love the version with Kendrick # and all the vault tracks slap so
# reputation:
# this one is so hard
# I definitely disagree tho # this is why we can’t have nice things # goes so hard
# but maybe gorgeous # or …ready for it? # but I still bop to them both
# I also can’t wait for the vault tracks on rep tv because I know they have to be fire
# also chat is karma real ??
# lover:
# ok I’m sorry but
# soon you’ll get better # I can’t listen to it
# it’s beautiful # but I cannot # it’s too sad
# folklore:
epiphany - it's a beautiful song and when I do listen to it it's really good but it's just usually a skip for me # like I don't actively skip it # but I do avoid it # like I always shift it down my shuffle queue
# evermore:
# truly a no skip album for me
# like I actually can’t pick a least favorite
# that said maybe I’d say my least played is Marjorie # simply for no other reason than I also miss my grandmother # so it’s kinda sad ok
# midnights:
# I’m sorry WHAT # no way is vilgilante shit a least favorite # I love it so much and I can see the choreography every time I listen to it
# I think it’d be snow on the beach
# cause again I like it # it’s just not usually my vibe # and I just like the other songs more
# the tortured poets department:
# I’d say most likely between robin and thanK you aIMee # I love but daddy I love him # robin just makes me anxious to listen to for some reason idk why it just feels like it’s about a kid dying or something and it makes me feel weird lol # and then I just kinda avoid/skip thanK you IMee sometimes
the beauty of this album is that it really fully encapsulates what it’s like going from the devastating loss of a long term relationship, to the rebound you think is gonna fix it all, only to ultimately realize that you were using the latter to process your feelings about the former. the songs are so muddled, and the lyrics are relevant to both muses because her feelings were muddled and she had no idea where to put them or what to do with them. the rebound promised her everything she couldn’t get from the ex-love and she fell for it because she was so desperate to be really seen.
The way all of Speak Now is haunted in hindsight:
