I ducked behind the drapes when I saw the moon begin to rise

gathered in my loose ends switched off the light

and down there in the dark I can see the real truth about me

as clear as day, Lord if I make it through tonight

then I will mend my ways and walk the straight path to the end of my days

Look, I agree that trying to sell folks on original fiction by citing fanfic tropes is asinine, but at least "oh, it's got enemies to lovers!" tells you something substantive about the plot and characters. I once had somebody try to convince me to read a work of original fiction by telling me that it has a romance with a height gap.

Rabbis from the US and Israel marched towards the Erez crossing carrying symbolic aid for Gaza and calling to end the war. The police blocked them a few hundred meters from the border, and arrested 7 protesters. source

POINT AND LAUGH

[asimplestrawberry]

with every passing year of my friend's parents being grade-A dipshits re: their kids being queer, I'm more grateful for my mom. will she fuck up your pronouns? god, absolutely. but she'll apologize, and she asks questions because she genuinely wants to learn. she's called me for input on how to most effectively rip her colleagues a new asshole when they're shitty and transphobic to clients who are just trying to get their food stamps. she once walked out of a salon mid-appointment with the foil still in her hair because the owner was being transphobic in front of her. she'd been getting her hair done there for years, and she never went back. she's still furious about how shitty my best friend's mom was about my best friend coming out in high school, over ten years ago. she loves buying me every silly rainbow product she sees but after I explained rainbow capitalism to her she started checking with me beforehand to make sure she's not throwing her money anywhere extra shitty. she absolutely does not understand every aspect of queer identity and politics and I don't need her to, because her heart is exactly where it needs to be and she's also excessively willing to bite any homophobe or transphobe who tries it in front of her.

Chappell Roan npr tiny desk concert cigarette butts in her hair lipstick stains on her teeth "I didn't watch the superbowl last night who fucking cares" polaroid photo of the audience entire band in matching pink outfits and cheap blue eyeshadow + running mascara the giant butterfly necklace looking like something from claire's in 2006 trashbag in her wig tiny bedazzled flip phone Suger the webkinz "I love npr I'm serious I donate" "be bimbos ladies" she is everything she is the drama she is the moment she is a STAR she really is our midwest princess

all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.
