Fic Summaries and Notes Below the Cut:
Betrayal by Valerie J [ff.net]
Rating: T | Universe: X-Men: Comics | Words: 77,333 | Chapters: 25 | Status: Complete | Date: Oct 10, 2001-Jan 20, 2002 |
Summary: [Complete] When Bishop first joined the X-Men, he warned them that they would be betrayed by one of their own. He was right, but that’s only the beginning of the story. (This story diverges from continuity just after X-Men #45.)
Notes: There is so much story potential in the relationship between Bishop and the Witness. Bring that to the present and you get a fascinating story which touches on so much more than time travel. Relationships are tested, secrets are revealed, and choices are made. This is an excellent fic is the start of a trilogy which is well worth the read.

Summary: After 2005, the world went to shit. That was Logan’s summary. Global climate change. All the TVs were rectangular and thin. All the cars were purportedly powered by electricity. The music sucked. Network explained events with more detail, but the gist of it was after 2005, the world went to shit. And Remy had to fix it before he could go home to good old 1993.
Notes: This story sticks with me long after I finished reading. While there is something melancholic and bittersweet about it, the fic offers a compelling story of love, community, and saving the world. There’s a figurative ticking clock which keeps you reading right up to the last moment. And, it’s the perfect length that you might find yourself looping around and reading it again after you finish.
The Chase by Chellerbelle ( @chellerbelles ) [ao3] [ff.net]
Rating: T | Universe: WatX | Words: 43,867 | Chapters: 11 | Status: Complete | Date: Jun 7-27, 2012 |
Summary: In the Present, Gambit tries to auction off Emma Frost’s diamond hand and finds himself caught between the X-men and Sinister’s Marauders. 20 Years in the Future, Professor Xavier seeks to save his X-men from being murdered in the past by the marauders, and prevent the Age of Apocalypse from ever happening.
Notes: I love the complicated timey-wimey nature of this story. Chelle manages to not only juggle one or two times lines, but plays out a half dozen or so various timelines in over a dozen time frames. And, she makes excellent use of the time travel elements and shows what happens to the future when you use foreknowledge to change your present.
But Here We Are by AppleJ ( @applejacks1552 ) [ao3]
Rating: M | Universe: X-Men: Comics | Words: 32,978 | Chapters: 30 | Status: Complete | Date: Feb 24, 2019 |
Summary: They never thought this would be possible, but Rogue is uneXpectedly eXpecting. Yet nothing is ever THAT simple in the life of an X-Man. What secret will Gambit discover that complicates their happily-ever-after?
Notes: This is one of those fics you find yourself asking, where's the time travel. And then, it shows up and it is such an important element of the story. It really grabs you as Rogue and Gambit are facing upcoming parenthood--and for anyone who knows the the X-Men, then you know that there are no certainities when it comes to being an X-Man and a parent.

Summary: Rogue seems happy with her new life, or is she? Gambit is finally showing signs of moving on from her. Living separate lives, but forever in each other’s hearts. An old buried secret is revealed and it completely changes everything. Expect sex, drama, angst and plot twists.
Note: What if you had the ability to change a painful incident from the past? Would you take the opportunity? This fic grapples with that question along with other complications of what happens to your present when you change the past.
Note.2: The ff.net version may be slightly easier to read. The story has multi-character POV and will change POV within the chapters. The formatting which signifies change of POV didn’t always get transferred over to ao3, so it can take a moment to note the change in POV. POVs are separated in ff.net.

Summary: Day 12: because there TOTALLY isn’t enough time travel in the X-Men universe as is! (A time travel AU)
Note: This fic is a lot of fun. There's a framing sequence not only at the beginning and end of the story, but each chapter as well. Aliens want to know if soulmates are real, so they kidnap Rogue and Gambit and put them through a myriad of fanfic tropes. And when it comes to time travel, this chapter hits all the right points you want in a across time romance in a bite size package.

Summary: After a mishap with one of Forge’s latest science projects, Rogue somehow finds herself 12 years into the past. AU Time Travel.
Notes: I would love to see this fic continue. I want to know what happens. Rogue is in a position where she knows how things are supposed to play out, but doesn't *know* what it was actually like.

Summary: Newly arrived with the X-men, Remy LeBeau was growing accustomed to dying. Each time he did he woke up back in his bead on the morning of April 10th. But he could deal with that: he’d seen Groundhog Day and it wasn’t as if he had any plans. But he was starting to realise that
Notes: Yay! A time loop story at last. And, another story I really want to see continue. The novelty of living forever without consequences loses its appeal after a time, and the consequences of repeatedly dying remains even when the death doesn't. The fic really gives the reader something to think about.

A Gaylor/Kaylor Interpretation of "Maroon" Because It's Galentine's Day ❤️
Overblown Analysis Under the Cut ↓
One of my favorite things to do in my song analyses has become trying to think outside the box. For this interpretation of "Maroon", I've decided to play with an idea I had about this being from Karlie's perspective, as I don't think I've seen that before (I might've, sorry if I've accidentally copied someone). It's also just fun. I tend to see songs in multiple ways, so it's always fun to play around.
"When the morning came we were cleaning incense off your vinyl shelf // 'Cause we lost track of time again // Laughing with my feet in your lap // Like you were my closest friend // "How'd we end up on the floor anyway?" You say // "Your roommate's cheap-ass screw-top rosé, that's how" // I see you every day now"
The song opens with Kar and Tay cleaning up after a night of being up together. It could've been a sexual night or a night of talking. Either way, they've ended up laughing on the floor with Karlie's feet in Taylor's lap. The word "friend" in Taylor's music was kept fairly platonic pre-1989. After that, starting with "Blank Space", or more importantly, "You Are In Love", friend gets used differently. Suddenly "friend" can also be a word attached to a lover too. Here Tay as Karlie says "like you were my closest friend." As the song continues we know that the subjects of this song are more than friends. Karlie and Taylor were of course slated as best friends from their first public meeting, but there's plenty of speculation about them being more than that. The imagery here sounds like a sleepover, and it would probably look like such if an outsider were to see them, but it's only "like" because they are more than that. Similar to how the subjects in "INTHAF" are clearly married by the end, but still get called "friend".
Karlie had a room in Taylor's apartment by Sep. 2014, so they were roommates. They see each other every day. It can be debated on exactly which line is said by who, so to keep it simple I'm going to say that Taylor asked, "How'd we end up on the floor anyway?" and Karlie responded, "Your roommate's cheap-ass screw-top rosé, that's how" (just because that's how the line is formed, but I usually hear it the other way around). The person replying, "Your roommate's cheap-ass screw-top rosé" is speaking about themselves in the third person to be humorous and disparage the cheap wine.
It's interesting how much specifically cheap wine gets brought up with Kaylor. It appears in "Paris" too. Why cheap wine when they can afford really good wine? Maybe they just like cheap wine. Or it could be a metaphor. In my analysis of "ILIPW", I talk about the out queers having nice wine and how Taylor and her lover have to be closeted with the cheap wine. So, cheap wine is a metaphor for the meager things that can come from closeting. What you get is passable, but you could have something better.
"And I chose you // The one I was dancin' with // In New York, no shoes"
"In New York, no shoes," is a clear reference to "Barefoot in the kitchen // Sacred new beginnings" from "Cornelia Street". It also seems to be a reference to the Vogue photoshoot, one photo in the set (4/10 in the link) being Karlie and Taylor barefoot in a trailer kitchen as Taylor plays the guitar like they could be dancing. Both lines also seem to call back to "We're dancing 'round the kitchen in the refrigerator light" from "ATW". While I do think Karlie has songs on Red, like "Begin Again" (as someone who currently thinks they've been together since at least 2012), I don't think "ATW" or "ATW10" is about Karlie in any way. So why would it be referenced in either song? I see both references as Taylor, through her own lens, and here (in this analysis) through Karlie's, comparing the "ATW" lover with Kar and how better Kar is. To get all metaphorical with it, dancing in the refrigerator light, while it can be and has been romanticized, it’s also, in the traditional sense, unromantic, strange, and artificial. And "ATW" is ultimately a breakup song. Whoever the "ATW" muse is, they didn't fulfill Taylor like Karlie did. In the lines from this, "Cornelia Street", and even the photoshoot, no longer is there any artificial refrigerator light, just dancing. Kaylor's love is not unromantic, strange, and artificial. I personally don't have any official guess as to who the "ATW" muse is at the moment because my "expertise" lie with Kaylor and the later part of Taylor’s career (Rep and onward). I don't mind the conventional idea that it was Jake one way or another, since I believe Taylor thought she was bi till the early 2020s and Jake is associated with trauma I personally wouldn't want to "explain away" incase it happened (same with John). But especially if Jake was a beard, his love wouldn't be as fulfilling for Taylor as Karlie's.
"Looked up at the sky and it was"
Either Karlie or both she and Taylor look up and see the sky. We aren't told immediately yet, but later verses say that the sky is maroon. A maroon sky to me is either the sun rising or setting. Since the song begins with the morning coming in and time going by, I'll go with the sun setting here. It setting goes particularly well with what I think this song's about. While I can't find it, I once saw an interesting take on the red sky signifying the 2016 election, Trump's win, and how in New York the huge LED screens in NYC would've glowed red while showing his republican win. This is a really cool take on the lyric and makes sense, as, while I don't know tons of details about this supposed theory, I feel like I've heard about theories regarding a canceled coming out plan from 2016 due to the election results. I won't be fully stealing that for this analysis, but it's cool to keep in mind as a potential factor.
The maroon sky is the sun setting. Taylor has used summer and daylight as metaphors for being out. But for whatever reason the coming out plan hasn't happened, so the sun sets. The sparkling summer's gone. I'll go more into the choice of maroon with Karlie later.
"The burgundy on my T-shirt when you splashed your wine into me // And how the blood rushed into my cheeks, so scarlet, it was // The mark they saw on my collarbone, the rust that grew between telephones // The lips I used to call home, so scarlet, it was maroon"
For starters, I think a lot of us know of the theory that all the colors in this chorus list the colors of the Emily Gwen lesbian flag backward. Very cool, and I'll add to why I think it does later. But let's see what this means for Kaylor specifically.
Spilled wine could definitely call back to the infamous "buzzcut" from the 2016 MET Gala and Taylor spilling wine in "Dress". The mark on the collarbone could be a "funjuries" reference; The most relevant to this song would be a funjury incident with Karlie having a mark on her lower neck after her last public interaction with Taylor. "The rust that grew between telephones" could be a reference to the love blackout and the lockdown of Taylor and Karlie's public relationship, having to act like they're strangers and not talk publicly. Taylor's music and phones could also be callbacks to Reputation, Fearless, and Speak Now; Rep is usually seen as Karlie's album unanimously and I think Speak Now holds the first Kaylor song, "Enchanted", so that might be something. For Fearless, Taylor had just met Kar at the Young Hollywood Awards a few days before debuting "Love Story" at CMA Country Music Fest in 2008, and "Cruel Summer" is essentially a Kaylor version of "Love Story" with all the parallels of secrecy, running away, and gardens. They also both did Romeo and Juliet-themed things in 2008. The lips the narrator used to call home are described as scarlet. While this could work for either woman, Taylor is known for her red lips. This is also another callback to Red and its original cover.
I saw an interpretation forever ago about "so scarlet, it was maroon" meaning "so forbidden it was abandoned", which makes the most sense, since a color can't actually be so bright red it becomes a darker red. It's likely metaphorical. Because of the story, The Scarlet Letter, the color scarlet can mean a forbidden shame. And the word maroon is a homophone; spelled the same way, maroon can be a color and it can be someone who is trapped and isolated.
Karlie seems to be going over her and Taylor's history, ending with their love being so forbidden from the public eye, that it's isolated from it, only private.
"When the silence came, we were shaking blind and hazy // How the hell did we lose sight of us again? // Sobbin' with your head in your hands // Ain't that the way shit always ends?"
Both Karlie and Taylor seem stunned into silence for whatever trouble has transpired, whether it'd be the election, the master heist and failed coming out, or just emotional unwellness. How the hell did they come to suffer again? The events have left Taylor sobbing, an unfortunately repeating occurrence. This line reminds me of "But you awaken with dread // Pounding nails in your head // But I've read this one where you come undone" from "TTPD", another song commonly thought of as Karlie's POV. Because of this and my LSK-ness, I don't see this as a breakup song at all, just a song about struggling with the marooned nature of their relationship.
"You were standin' hollow-eyed in the hallway // Carnations you had thought were roses, that's us // I feel you no matter what // The rubies that I gave up"
A lot of people have seen the parallel with this line and "Now, you're runnin' down the hallway" from "YLM". I acknowledge that some see "YLM" as another song from Karlie's perspective, but I personally don't, I see it as a song about bad fans and closeting. So why the correlation? I think it's notable that Taylor and the fans are very different in the hallway. Taylor stands while the fans run. To me it seems like, through whatever distress she's going through, Taylor stands stiff, meanwhile, the fans are running rampant. In my "Champagne Problems" analysis, bad fans "deck the halls" through Taylor's work, decorating it however they want. I think these lines are similar. Karlie knows Taylor is tired in the halls that are no longer decorated the way she wants.
In a literal sense, Taylor seemingly confused carnations with roses. Maybe in her mentally exhausted state? I typically see others take this line as the other person giving the narrator flowers as some kind of apology, but the song only mentions carnations existing, never saying they're being given to anyone. It's more likely that they either metaphorically or literally decor the house their in, my guess in the hallway. Or better yet, Karlie is describing her relationship with Taylor as like a carnation Taylor thought were roses. In my Arial and Belle theory, I talk about this line and Kar and Tay's love not being seen as a normal love, like a rose, but different, like a carnation. To add to that, I see Midnights as Taylor grappling with comphet after reading Untamed by Glennon Doyle. Karlie says that they are carnations Taylor thought were roses. Taylor thought she could achieve a rose, or a hetero relationship, probably thinking the same for Karlie for at least a while (i.e. "2 AM, who do you love?" in "Enchanted" as Taylor wonders if Karlie's queer or not. And "James" saying "Plus, I saw you dance with him" thinking "Betty" was with a guy). But no. They are carnations. Different from the "normal" love. So, being a "carnation", Karlie feels Taylor no matter what. Carnations are a queer flower. Lots of people know about green carnations being a queer flag for gay men, but according to a quote from Diana Souhami in this article, white carnations did the same for lesbians (Yes, her name's Diana, hehe). And as a cherry on top, there’s also Taylor as a carnation in the “I Bet You Think About Me” MV and Karlie as a rose at the 2021 MET Gala. Taylor, in the MV, is a carnation, taunting the man and lovingly giving the bride her scarf. Karlie posed as a rose in public at the Gala.
"The rubies that I gave up" is a particularly fun line for me here because of my Oz theories. To put it simply here, Karlie is typically seen as representing Dorothy in Taylor's music and I theorize that Taylor herself is Ozma, which is cool because Dorothy and Ozma are often seen as lesbians. In Return to Oz, Dorothy gives Ozma her ruby slippers before returning to Kansas, but Ozma plans with Dorothy to use the ruby slippers to get Dorothy back to Oz when they want. So, Karlie/Dorothy gave up her rubies for the grey Kansas, the love blackout.
"And I lost you // The one I was dancin' with // In New York, no shoes // Looked up at the sky and it was maroon // The burgundy on my T-shirt when you splashed your wine into me // And how the blood rushed into my cheeks, so scarlet, it was (maroon) // The mark you saw on my collarbone, the rust that grew between telephones // The lips I used to call home, so scarlet, it was (maroon)"
So if Kaylor's still together, what does "I lost you" mean here? I see the loss as more metaphorical. Karlie lost her public relationship with Taylor in the love lockdown. I also want to note that "I lost you" parallels with "Cornelia Street", "YLM", "loml", and "TGW". For the latter three, I see all those songs as about the master heist and love lockdown for similar reasons I do this one. During Lover, Taylor hoped that she'd never have to lose Karlie thanks to coming out, but that didn't happen and the love stayed locked down. But Taylor only briefly thought she lost Karlie according to "TGW". She didn't lose their relationship in my opinion, but the pain of the master heist is still present in "loml" because of course it is. Even just career-wise, to have your body of work stolen would destroy any artist emotionally. But your freedom the way you planned it? Yeah...
"And I wake with your memory over me // That's a real fucking legacy, legacy (it was maroon) // And I wake with your memory over me // That's a real fucking legacy to leave"
The actual circumstances of the love blackout aren't clear to us fans. Do they secretly see each other all the time like any committed couple? Does it have to be like a long-distance relationship? Who's to say other than them? Karlie could literally have to wake up with Taylor's memory if she doesn't see her "every day" now, or she could just wake up with the memories of them having a public relationship.
To finally put all the pieces together, why "maroon" for a Karlie-coded song? Isn't Karlie usually seen as the "Golden" muse? Yes, but looking at it from Karlie's perspective, this song could be like an extended version of the line, "And maybe it's the past that's talkin' // Screamin' from the crypt // Tellin' me to punish you for things you never did // So I justified it" from "TGW". Maybe, post everything that went wrong after 2019, or hell, maybe post-2016, Taylor went into the "self-sabotage mode" mentioned in "TTPD". I currently think "TTPD" might be describing some more recent "episode", Karlie saying she's seen it before like it's common for Taylor, but this and "TGW" (and maybe other songs) could've been a past episode(s).
Taylor's talked about the situation that inspired Red being hard for her. The sky being maroon could signify the rust of the sparkling summer and the sun setting, but what if, deeper, it was about whatever baggage Taylor carried over from what inspired Red? Having a spot in Red, Karlie knows what happened and sees the sky metaphorically turn red again for Taylor, the past screaming from the crypt. This could especially be the case if the Red muse was Jake, a man, and Taylor by the 2020s was understanding that she was a lesbian and not bi, judging by the flagging. It's like the story told by the Eras Miami Surprise Song Dresses. Tay thought she was bi, but around the time of her possibly reading Untamed, Taylor was re-recording and likely thinking about the past beardings/boyfriends and coming to terms with that, the master heist, the love blackout, and the failed coming out, so comphet being the cherry on top? I probably would go into "self-sabotage mode" too just because it's a lot at once. That's why this song goes through the eras Karlie was at least a little involved with, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, Rep, Lover, Folkmore, and finally (for that time) Midnights. And why the lesbian flag colors are intertwined with their past. Because Taylor, through Karlie's eyes in this song, is grappling with being a lesbian and leaving comphet behind, with all the emotional highs and lows. "Maybe, when the clock strikes twelve... we'll meet ourselves" (from the Midnights announcement post). No wonder this was one of Taylor's most-played surprise songs—I'm half shocked it didn't make the setlist.
She was in a violet blood-soaked gown trying to figure herself out with her lover there for her.
Thanks for reading!

To support you @wellthatwasaletdown - I would just like to add whoever that anon was she was right
Rape and trafficking - In regards of Olivia Wilde and her association with Harvey Weinstein and Red Hot Chili Peppers and Kroll Family. Everything is on the internet. Just see what RHCP did-🤮 yikes.
I don't think many people read articles or ignore it because they don't want their favourite and the guilt that comes with associating their favourite with these controversies. Allegations on Harvey Weinstein started in 2011- there are close pictures of OW with HW in 2012, 13, 14, 15.
Also, Azoff was accused of molestation charge and rape of a south american model in 1996, unfortunately it has been scrubbed of the internet I can't find it. Rest all I have provided the links.

I apologise for the long post - it is totally up to you to share - but to think Harry wasn't aware about all this when everything is on the internet and being an apologist for him doesn't stand right with me.
This is coming from a "once upon a time - Harry stan". To give the benefit of doubt to that anon - because I don't want the anon to feel bad - maybe she wasn't aware about all this - hope this helps the anon.
Also, Harry has made it impossible to cancel him - because of TPWK and his mother coming to his defense every time, it gets hard to troll when you have mummy by your side because people are sentimental - they will always go - that's his family so ya in a way things are messed up for Harry and why should we bothered if he isn't - this fandom - has victimized Harry for long, only blogs like yours are becoming a safe space to speak out, so yeah! I don't have anything else to say.
P.S - I FELT THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.

sry, you have to remove the spaces but yeah hopefully you like some of them 😊
Ooooh nice. Hmmm. I can't seem to copy paste any of them unfortunately. Maybe after I post?
Just a fyi in the future so other people can know, imo it's best practices to post the summary along with the links to stories so people don't have to look for it themselves and be disappointed in what they potentially find.
Tho idk if an ask has a word limit haha.
If I'm able to copy paste I'll edit this post to include the summaries of them here.
I'm hoping at least one of these are good lol because there are hardly any fan art of Elena too let alone with Ben which is really unfortunate.
To them, I'm a she. A thing. A being. A body. A monster. A poser.
Ben 10, K+, English, Angst & Hurt/Comfort, words: 350, favs: 5, follows: 2, Jun 10, 2011, Elena V.
Ben loved her once, but the woman who was currently holding the life of his friends for ransom wasn't the Elena he had once known. My take on what might have happened if Ben had been forced to choose between saving his friends, or losing Elena. An AU of Revenge of the Swarm.
Ben 10, T, English, Hurt/Comfort & Drama, chapters: 6, words: 7k+, favs: 32, follows: 19, updated: Nov 25, 2018 published: Nov 14, 2017, Ben T., Elena V.

She was trying to be the voice of reason, but he wasn't making her job too easy. *Can be interpretted as friendship or romance. Take your pick.
Ben 10, T, English, Friendship & Hurt/Comfort, words: 2k+, favs: 17, follows: 3, Mar 16, 2011, Ben T., Elena V.
It's amazing, Elena thinks, how badly a person can miss something that they never had.
Or, Elena pines and schemes.

A mysterious virus begins turning Ben's friends and family against him and he finds himself powerless to stop it. Elena, who has recently re-entered Ben's life with promises that she has improved, is the only one left to stand with him.
Together, they must figure out why Elena is unaffected and if her immunity can be replicated. Ben finds himself forced to put his trust in Elena blindly as they race against the clock to find a cure before the effects of the virus are irreversible... Because if they fail, Ben's life will never be the same.

[since everything under a Read More cut gets deleted in case a blog deletes/gets deleted and the WayBackMachine isn’t good with pictures, for Archive Purposes Only, I will add the most important bits of the/rest of the full post and have put the screenshots into the correct order.]
Ping (Apple's music-focused social network connected to the iTunes account) shut down on September 30, 2012.
The post here was made on September 20, 2012, so when the screenshots says "Today" or "1 day ago", we can estimate it was approx. between Sep 20 and 15. And prior to that, there are dates next to the posts, so we know for sure.
I will post close-ups and write down what's in the screenshots, because some text is hard to decipher.
🎧 I also created a Spotify playlist of all the songs Louis liked and bought with his profile.
•
first off, Louis' profile:
the profile pic is a sweet picture of Harry & him 💙💚 Louis Tomlinson - Dance, Pop, R&B/Soul Where I Live: Doncaster, United Kingdom (very hard to read, could be 10,569 Followers or 15,569 Followers) About Louis T. 1/5 of One Direction :) LOVE music :)

Louis purchased the song Neon by John Mayer [since he first purchased this song and then the The Collection: John Mayer, maybe he really loved the song and then there was some kind of sale on the The Collection and he thought 'ah, why not just get everything all at once?' But who knows. :) He defs had a couple of song duplicates after he'd bought The Collection] (Sep 12, 2012) Commented by Aria P.: "omg this is my jam"
Louis purchased the song She Is Love by Parachute. [a few days later, he also bought the All Band Version of that song] (Sep 9, 2012)

Who are the Spindles anyway? [Part 2]
Continued from part 1
It is not known if any of the other Spindles in the same cemetery are related. We can easily find Hollis R. Spindle (1930-1998). However, Robert B. Spindle does not seem to be on Find a Grave currently.
I found Ida and Berthelot's marriage in a Colorado marriage index [2]:

Thanks to a profile of Ida, whose full name was apparently Ida Stella Mills, we can find her in the 1910 and 1920 censuses, with Hollis R. Mills (1877-1934) listed as her father and Blanche Ellis (1879-1949) as her mother [3]. In 1910 they were living in the El Paso County Hospital in El Paso, California, and in 1920 they were living in Hartsel, Park, Colorado. It is clear from the censuses, shown below, that she had a brother named Edward. We can't be sure about Elizabeth Chalmers just yet.


For Ida, she is listed in Hollis Spindle's 1998 obituary, which is indexed completely incorrectly on Family Search, and her obituary is abstracted in one record. [4] Beyond this, one can also find Ida, with her husband Berthelot in the 1930 and 1940 censuses, living in Park, Colorado. It shows she has two sons, Hollis R. and Robert B., just as was noted in her obituary!

1930 census

1940 census

On Family Search there is even a photo of "Ida Mills Spindle and Berthelot Swenson Spindle" as a user named mikespindle calls it, with the year not known:

As for Ida Spindle, we know from the Windsor Beacon that she hosted a matrons club in 1960, that she was part of the Eastern Star in 1962 (along with the Garden Club), was a member of the OES in 1964 (and in 1962), along with many other topics.

Sep 14, 2023 Updated Sep 15, 2023
Bard College has officially announced it is purchasing the Unification Theological Seminary (UTS) property in Barrytown, which has been on the market since at least 2018, for $14 million. College President Leon Botstein confirmed to faculty Wednesday, September 13, that the college is buying the 260-acre property, which was the American home of Sun Myung Moon’s Unification Church beginning in 1975. On Thursday, Botstein spoke exclusively with the HV Pilot about the announcement.
...
According to Bard officials, the initial uses for the former seminary will include new studios for the Center for Human Rights and the Arts and administrative offices for the Open Society University Network (OSUN), of which Bard is a founding member. Other instructional facilities uses are anticipated as well.
...
The property includes the main seminary building, a number of outbuildings, and grounds laced with bucolic trails that UTS kept open to the public over the years. The original home here, called Massena, was built in 1796 by John Livingston. The iconic home, once visited by a young Theodore Roosevelt, was destroyed in a fire in 1885, and was rebuilt in a stark gothic style. In 1928, it was purchased by the Christian Brothers, who turned it into a seminary for Catholic youth education. The Unification Church bought it in the '70s and ran it as a theological university and venue for religious activities. The Unification Church’s founder, Sun Myung Moon, died in 2012 and the school became unaccredited in 2015. The property has been for sale since 2018. UTS has since moved its American headquarters to Manhattan and recently changed its name to HJ International.
UTS’s ownership of the property was not without its own controversies over the years. Botstein said the Unification Church was not the best neighbor.
“We were no friends of the ‘moonies,’” Botstein said, using a term for Unificationists that they consider pejorative. “Let's get that straight. Early on in the 80’s their presence was an irritant and a danger to us. That was when they were accused of kidnapping people, and this was a kind of detention center before it became a theological seminary. We had troubled relations with them because of their proselytizing activities. But as their popularity receded, it became more like a ghost town. As it disintegrated we looked at it again.”
Now the storied property enters a new chapter. With the acquisition of both Montgomery Place and UTS, Botstein has dramatically increased the footprint of Bard College during his long tenure, but he says he doesn’t see his legacy in brick and mortar or even the money the school has been able to raise, but rather in the ideas Bard had fostered during his time at the helm. The new facility, he said, provides more space for those ideas to germinate.

Research 2.3 Paper cutting and video
The video is quite simple but it is perfect to create a narrative with paper cutting. This video was created 12 years ago so it seems audit but it does not fail to show the characters, the story, movement. All of this with a very intricate paper-cutting work. It is pretty fascinating and original. The movement is not continuous but it makes the story more mysterious. However, the beauty of paper cutting is the 3D effect that I cannot see in this work which is a shame. Overall, it is beautiful.

📆 Sep 2012 📆 The Toxoplasma gondii Peptide AS15 Elicits CD4 T Cells That Can Control Parasite Burden
The apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii can cause severe disease in immunocompromised individuals. Previous studies in mice have focused largely on CD8+ T cells, and the role of CD4 T cells is relatively unexplored. Here, we show that immunization of the C57BL/6 strain of mice, in which the immunodominant CD8 T cell response to the parasite dense-granule protein GRA6 cannot be generated, leads to a prominent CD4 T cell response. To identify the CD4 T cell-stimulating antigens, we generated a T. gondii-specific, lacZ-inducible, CD4 T cell hybridoma and used it as a probe to screen a T. gondii cDNA library.
We isolated a cDNA encoding a protein of unknown function that we call CD4Ag28m and identified the minimal peptide, AS15, which was presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules to the CD4 T cells. Immunization of mice with the AS15 peptide provided significant protection against subsequent parasite challenge, resulting in a lower parasite burden in the brain. Our findings identify the first CD4 T cell-stimulating peptide that can confer protection against toxoplasmosis and provide an important tool for the study of CD4 T cell responses and the design of effective vaccines against the parasite.

late 2016: karlie is noticeably absent from taylor’s public appearances
jan 2017: karlie posts a photo on instagram captioned “swish swish” seemingly referencing katy perry’s diss track about taylor
july 2017: karlie and katy are seen together
nov 2017: reputation is released. karlie’s name is missing from taylor’s t shirt listing her close friends in the ‘look what you made me do’ music video

march 2019: karlie says that she and taylor are on good terms
aug 2019: taylor releases lover
jan 2020: miss americana documentary is released. no mentions of karlie are made.
october 2022: taylor releases midnights
aug 2023: karlie attends the eras tour. she is in general seating rather than vip. the surprise songs were new romantics and new year’s day.
aug 2023: taylor plays maroon on karlie’s birthday
july 2024: karlie calls ‘shake it off’ a “classic” and “her favorite song”
aug 2024: taylor plays maroon the day before karlie’s birthday
songs/lyrics potentially about karlie:
this is what you came for: taylor ghost wrote a song for calvin harris and rihanna about how beautiful women are
welcome to ny
i know places: hiding a relationship from the public
new romantics: this is incredibly obvious i fear
dress: everything but the bridge SCREAMS kaylor to me. a bit of a red herring, that bridge. taylor is a smart woman she knows what she’s doing.
call it what you want: the extra call it sounds like karlie (call it what you want karlie call it what you want)
new year’s day
gorgeous
cornelia street: karlie was in taylor’s home many times.
hoax: “my eclipsed sun” karlie was always the sun for taylor. “you know i left a part of me back in ny” on cornelia street by chance?
illicit affairs: this one just makes sense
dorothea
right where you left me: i can picture it so clearly. taylor and karlie are out to lunch and karlie says she’s getting married. to josh kushner of all people.
maroon: “the lips i used to call home so scarlet it was”
paris
chloe et al: the nod to maroon? and karlie’s hologram was literally in taylor’s apartment?
other notable things:
the eye theory: the right eye of the reputation album cover is actually karlie’s eye. several posts/easter eggs seem to nod at this. kind of insane.
taylor swift never (with the exception of travis) makes comments about her partners and her dating life. if karlie were a man, the photos would be unnoticeable confirmation they were together
cornelia street x the bolter
cornelia street x maroon
taylor has always been very intentional with everything she does
i’ve gone so far down the kaylor rabbit hole

maybe there’s biasedness in the way kihyun sees uui – he sees how he’s always so kind and has his pretty heart on his sleeve, always perked up with a smile and affection dripping off his tone when he looks at kihyun with an expression that reads something he can’t quite put his finger on – but he chooses to ignore it. uui’s apartment has an ample amount of art and with a quick scan he’s surely certain that his gaze could fall upon any choice of paintings that are hung on the wall.
but his attention is focused on what (who) he thinks is more of a masterpiece.
something soft plays in the background, nostalgic and akin to gold in somebody’s ears. it leaves him feeling light, mind incomprehensible and blurry with possibilities that he doesn’t know why choose to make an appearance now. somewhere, between the music, between the words and the beats, kihyun finds himself pliant and willing for uui.
he’s seated on the artist’s lap, arms curled and looped around his neck, kihyun‘s mouth is on uui’s neck and he smiles into the skin, for the two of them are slotted perfectly like missing puzzle pieces. he sits back, cheeks dotted a flushed pink from the heat and he finally lets himself laugh a little.
“hey,” he says, “you’re kind of beautiful.”
@shinxuuisc – faded vibes.
