Everything Has Changed
Taylor told Digital Spy: "It's about falling in love. It's about meeting someone and all of a sudden your entire perspective on the world changes - you're thinking for two, instead of one." It was written the week starting 20 May 2012, after Harry arrived in LA.
Music Video
The scene where the class is watching a move these are scenes of Paris, a hint toward Begin Again and Paris being special to Harry and Taylor. Eiffel Tower, Pont Alexandre III - Bridge over the Seine appear.
The school play scene is reminiscent of Harry's actual first performance in a school play when he was 6, Harry also recreated part of this in the Daylight Music Video.
It's full of adorable moments where the two kids, (who return for the Joker and the Queen) where the boy and girl are apart from other kids in their own private world. The tent scene is later in Willow:
The little boy reads the Notebook, Harry's favourite movie to the girl. The girl is doing embroidery (!! very loml coded! LK does too)
The girl tattoos the boy, as is in IKYWT and reality Taylor was there when Harry got the ship tattoo.
The kids communicate by text, rather like two pop stars who live in different countries would and do, such as this famous VMA exchange, and the letter exchange in the Delicate video.

The Taylors Version Lyric Video also uses Pink & Blue text and butterflies.
Live performances
Taylor performed it with Ed on the Red Tour. It wasn't played on the 1989 or Reputation tours. It was a surprise song, with TIWWCHNT, on 22 July 2023, the date of Harry's final Love on Tour show.
When was it written and 20 May 2012


15 May 2012 - Taylor and Ed started writing together working on Run first.
20 May 2012 - At the end of a tour break Harry and 1D arrived in LA, Harry & Taylor disappeared for a week. The rest of the band went to Mohegan Sun in CT and are seen by fans without Harry.
22 May 2012 - Harry performs with One Direction
27 May 2012 - Ed and Taylor meet and write Everything Has Changed together on her Trampoline. Although Ed said their 'camps reached out at the same time' Ed and Harry had been friends since Ed was 19 and Harry was 16. Ed also wrote several songs for One Direction and likely introduced them. Ed, Taylor and Harry. were experiencing all a new level of success. Only last year Ed talked wistfully about having jam nights writing music in a community this song reminds me of.
28 May - Harry gets the A tattoo and later says it is for his mum, the band laughs and says it is for a mystery blonde. Taylor wrote under Taylor A Swift and wore an A sweater in End Game.
29 May - Ed and Taylor record EHC
17 June - Harry got the temper trap tattoo
23 June - Harry's 'Hi' tattoo is first seen in Dallas 23 June, possibly referring to this song.
The draft lyrics refer to a Gemini, which Taylor has not dated. Maybe someone in Ed's life, a veiled reference to a twin (which Taylor uses again in TTPD) or Harry does have Gemini in his chart.



Ed later said, Taylor was in a relationship when they met: (Tumblr | eNews)
âWhen I first met Taylor I was in a relationship and she was in a relationship and we just formed a friendship through that,â he said. "And both our relationships ended and we just carried on being friends. Thereâs nothing I really want more than friendship there. I know her very very well now and she knows me very very well.â
Secret message
The secret message is "Hyiannis Port" rather than "Hyannis Port". The additional 'I' may be a typo - but knowing Taylor's attention to detail I think it is "H-and-I" Harry signs short messages 'H' and 'y' Spanish 'and'.
This secret message is often thought to indicate Conor Kennedy, However Taylor met Connor 4 July 2012, 2 months after the song was recorded. Taylor owned the house in Hyannis Port house from August 2012 - March 2013, she was dating Harry for almost all of that time. As in Alex and Sierra's I Love You and August they spent time there.

Lyrics
[Intro: Ed Sheeran] âYou good to go?â [Verse 1: Taylor Swift] All I knew this morning when I woke Is I know something now, know something now I didnât before And all Iâve seen since 18 hours ago Is green eyes and freckles And your smile in the back of my mind making me feel like
The first verse set the scene for enthusiastic new beginnings. Taylor describes Harry's green eyes and freckles, Taylor continues to use green in association with Harry.

[Pre-Chorus: Taylor Swift & Ed Sheeran] I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now x4
Harry later refers to this in Sunflower Vol 6: "Wish I could get to know you"
[Chorus: Taylor Swift & Ed Sheeran] âCause all I know is we said, âHelloâ And your eyes look like coming home All I know is a simple name Everything has changed All I know is you held the door Youâll be mine and Iâll be yours All I know since yesterday Is everything has changed
All I know is we said 'hello' and a simple name (Harry). Harry got his Hi Tattoo a few weeks after this song was written.
Your eyes look like coming home - Home is an important theme in Harry and Taylor's work and means a person, rather than a place. This is from the Notebook (Your mother is my home) which is also featured in the music video.

[Verse 2: Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift] And all my walls stood tall, painted blue Iâll take âem down, take âem down And open up the door for you And all I feel in my stomach is butterflies, the beautiful kind Makinâ up for lost time, taking flight making me feel right
Walls standing painted blue means Taylor was feeling isolated and depressed. There is an odd similarity with Paper Rings where she painted the muses brothers' walls blue... and had a suss exposition of holding a paintbrush in front of a blue wall. Here though, she is taking down the walls and letting the muse in.
Doors are a Haylor Theme
Butterflies - while butterflies were key in the artwork for Lover and appear in spotify canvases for it, Taylor only refers to them twice - in this song and Clean. "When the butterflies turned to dust that covered my whole room" Harry referenced in Olivia "The summertime and butterflies / All belong to your creation / I love you, it's all I do". He also has a large butterfly tattoo on his chest.
Flight is also a Haylor theme
[Bridge: Taylor Swift & Ed Sheeran] Come back and tell me why Iâm feeling like Iâve missed you all this time And meet me there tonight Let me know that itâs not all in my mind
Making up for lost time is very similar to something Harry later said at TIFF about wasted time being the most devastating thing.
'Let me know that it's not all in my mind' Minds are a Haylor theme. Here it is filled with possibility, a leap of faith expected to be returned by the muse, which it was. On TTPD it is the opposite, a feeling that it is not reciprocated:
I hate it here: I will go to Lunar valleys in my mind
Guilty as Sin: What if he's written 'mine' on my upper thigh
Only in my mind?
[Outro: Taylor Swift] All I know is we said, âHelloâ So dust off your highest hopes All I know is pouring rain And everything has changed All I know is a new found grace All my days, Iâll know your face All I know since yesterday Is everything has changed
Pouring rain is later referred to in many key songs about Harry and Taylors relationship. It is the key metaphor in Clean, which is an ending in the relationship, Everything Has Changed being the beginning. In Clean:
Rain came pouring down When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe And by morning Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
This reference in Clean as rain washing their love away is again referred to in My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys: "The voices in his head called the rain to end our days of wild"
The imagery of rain pouring down, washing away but also as a metaphor for depression has been a theme in Harry and Taylors songs. Most remarkably in the music videos for Falling/Cardigan. Rain is also in How You Get The Girl: "Stand there like a ghost, shaking from the rain"

And Now for the next batch of madness:
The Tour Of Fuck It We Ball part 2: Electric Boogaloo Days 4-6 of US Tourdust: The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion (The Woodlands, Texas), Dos Equis Pavillion (Dallas, Texas), Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre (Phoenix, Arizona)
People west of the Atlantic woke up on day 4 to a fall out boy tweet and an instagram story with 1 picture of Pete followed by CAPTAIN PLANET followed by ARAB SPRING, then LA RIOTS, RODNEY KING was added and then DEEP FAKES, all in the same typography. There'd already been rumors of people hearing a cover of we didn't start the fire playing through the PA system and a day before this, a still from the animated character from HMLAG labeled we didn't start the fire was posted on discord. Here's a great summary of it by kat-scribles. Hours later they confirmed the cover covering newsworthy things from 1989-2023 which released on day 5 (external link, RIP if something happens to the falloutboy youtube account).
In true 'Fall Out Boy Releases A New Thing' fashion it's been criticized by news and people who didn't like it and so on and so forth. Nature is healing, people are actively hating on Fall Out Boy. This is truly the tour of healing.
As far as setlists go: We got an update to the first setlist picture, it reads "sophomore, gin, coffee, suitehearts and patron". Notably GINASFS is missing, despite this setlist being from the Chicago show and it is not in the order they played these songs. As of the posting of this update, all songs have been played (on dates 3, 2, 7, 8 and 10 respectively)
Speaking of setlists:
we got one for The Woodlands, 8 Ball song was Kintsugi Kid ("How will you torture us this evening/should we sing a song from 10 years ago?/Should we sing a song about 10 years ago?" codename Tango Yeti, in keeping with the more or less NATO alphabet for Ten Years) also worth noting that this is Joe's favourite track in sm(f)s. This is how we learnt that post hiatus AND in particular current album tracks were on the list of 8 Ball possibilities, marking the first in a long series of "I didn't know the 8 ball could do that"
For Dallas we got an interesting situation with the setlist. We got one, that said and fit with Kansas' set, except that one hadn't been leaked, so a lot of speculation surrounded the magic 8 ball code OCHO, which isn't NATO alphabet. This marks the day we got confirmation that they were upping their game to keep the 8 ball songs a surprise, they posted fake/old setlists at the venue and the codename ocho stands, in all likelyhood for Sophomore Slump being the eight track in FUTCT. Here's the Kansas setlist in question.
After the show we got the real Dallas setlist, song was The (After) Life Of The Party ("Should we play one about hanging out being the afterlife of the party?", codename: Sierra Alpha for Stitch/Scar Away)
For day 6 we didn't get a setlist but the 8 ball song was Homesick At Space Camp ("Should we play a brand new fucking song?/Should we play a really fucking old song?", also of note Patrick tells the audience there's an audience participation moment incoming and teaches the lyrics since it's been so long since they played it last)
As a sidenote, with these setlists we've been able to see the names of the scenes: "AQUA Scene" for the one with the starfishes and the seashell submarine that's present for uma and 16c, "Attic Scene" for the tttyg smaller stage scene, "Dog(Bubbles) Scene" for well the giant dog head with the childlike squiggles backdrop and the bubbles and transparent balls that goes on through arms race (yes i know a lot of people are keenly aware that the dog scene includes arms race), disloyal order and heaven iowa, "Red Drape" for whatever hits after heaven iowa, "TREE Scene" for the one with you guessed it the big fuck off tree that is real and you can touch scene that lasts for fake out and the entire piano + magic section, and "Red Drape" again for grudge and The Magic 8 Ball Slot. Worth mentioning here is that they started playing their shows in Joe's attic
Piano Enrichment time these dates was, SOMETHING:
Pre-Piano banter has been great, arguing over banter between them. Day 4 gave us the banter of all time, with them arguing over body fluid composition.
Piano Boy is still out for blood. On day 4 he did a triple medley of somebody to love and take on me before moving onto don't stop believin. And then he said he had imposter syndrome and did What a Catch Donnie on day 5, which at the time was a very devastating thing.
It got immediately overshadowed day 6 because he did Spotlight, off of Truant FUCKING Wave and Soul FUCKING Punk. That was a lot of lights.
These dates are when we confirmed the fixed setlist also isn't fixed at all, Hum Hallelujah was back for day 6, without sacrificing Take Over this time
Oh yea and someone referenced "Thanks Pete!" in the crowd and Pete said "Heard it", you can hear the response (not the thanks pete) just before the banter that led to Spotlight (these are so backlogged that I can confidently spoil you this WILL be important later ;) )
We hadn't even recovered from the category 11 Soul Punk event when they hit us with the grimace shake video. It may now be part of the cinematic universe of "All the times Fall Out Boy has died, specially Pete, Extra Specially By Patrick's Hand. Guys how does this keep happening."
In the outfits category that's still a thinly veiled excuse to share pics of them being silly and 'FOB stands for Family Of Bestfriends':
No wardrobe updates for day 4 other than them ocasionally picking up friendship bracelets while bantering and the insanity of wearing three layers on 38C weather for the commitment to the emo poet look. Patrick seems to have been feeling extremely daring and wore khakis instead. But he did give an explanation why he's dressed like this.
On Day 5 pete did away with the poncho and we got skirt!, look at the skirt, two days in a row!. patrick went back to tourdust troupe t-shirt and ballcap and for day 6 it was ballcap and shirt.
Joe and Andy up to this point have packed exactly 1 grey t-shirt, one pair of jeans, two pairs of shoes and one pair of shorts for onstage. Collectively.
I do not have a fashion explanation for adding this point to the list. there's no thinly veiled excuse anymore it's just a video of Pete and Patrick being PeteandPatrick. Still fits the fuck it we ball energy that they're just doing whatever onstage and are comfortable getting close, even if the resolution of them doing a head nod is 3 pixels.
Oh yea and Pete wore green briefs. Totally the most important part about that entire link.
Source and credit list is in this other post! Check that one out too! Go give the people i compiled here some love! Specially to Lydia whose posts are linked from here several times and they helped me find pics from the AQUA scene!
Here's links to parts 1 and 3

And of course you guys are talking about snow and you guys don't have snow here talking about houses and no one in the country have had the houses besides you know me when I lived in fort Lauderdale and
Love you guys talking about the old stereotypes and stigmas you know we can't get help pass the filibuster of of talking to us about a train and in Houston that you're your blacks want to train desperately here or the the Oklahoma thunder teams being the basketball team is being killed because blacks can men complaining... Of how many times do you use different behaviors from from different cities am I experiences the ones that we come in with that I come in with of the behaviors to explain you know to explain someone of using a different behaviors that you guys don't have here again on the beach that doesn't snow... As some filibuster to continue talking to you about something that has nothing to do with me
Right again thankfully you know we said it in baton rouge say that s*** in the city that doesn't have a sign on the street that that I camped out on named Florida of you know... You you can't you take a tee to blame Florida of this rogue f****** family in in Birmingham and and in Mobile and and you know Louisiana you can't get you to blame for of this family of of satellite makers that just want to hurt people about about flashing them with pictures that don't belong to them and and talking to them about things that that have nothing to do with them you guys can't be the only ones in the game you guys can't do that kind of favor most importantly.... Since this is about girls and when I get out of here I will get my antidotes and again what are they going to do when I'm when I refuse to talk about Jacksonville what what are they going to do when I refuse to talk about Pensacola you know you know for us to have called out Dallas every Saturday let me make a woman for throwing me off an airplane baby because this n***** family have run out of state names to use on me or this has run out of state names to use on me of resurrecting the dead of the code name Pensacola....
And and after all you know we did call you guys out you know dear Phoenix and India Oklahoma and dear Omaha was it this peasant ant farm down here on the beach that doesn't snow that ruined the game of of having me outside you know for me to be bleeding and sweating and it for her to needed to see that and the codependency argument continues coming up why the clouds aren't covering the sky of you you needing her to believe that I hate her and eating her to believe that that I'm threatening her.... Yeah we're going to have to go all in and say you know Dallas and Kansas called to cut the eyes out of silent make her women I didn't need to be judging they need to be punished for it...#report of this having me into cities of talking to me of forcing you know you say it's an accident of of my breath of of a gap you know where we're I'm able to speak freely and and freestyle or or speak in tons okay well what whatever you're trying to define accident as but you know for for this to be about girls you know what's going to happen when I go into another city that's a little bit cooler that that's a little bit nicer and I'm able to write you guys off and and continue to play a role... I don't know what it holds for me I mean I don't know how much time I got left but the the filibuster of of you know what you guys are afraid of of Wichita and then you guys are afraid of that crack pipe f****** family in Houston I seem to resonate again of me being able to to sway people to kill your people upon arrival to submit your people upon arrival to have your daughter on their hands and knees and to have your your boys if all that's left for me is it's funny what happened to Oklahoma and Houston's men it was even funnier what happened to Jacksonville's men and continue to make fun of you guys and continue to demand that they take control and and if you come into the cities make you bow down and and make you walk backwards and when they say jump you say how high again if the odds are or against you people and I have nothing else to talk about maybe maybe it's time to align again you know strengthen the depositive energy of of them killing your people upon arrival
Of of some filibuster okay of using another cities behavior and you know we called it in text and I'll tell you exactly what happened you're a black sister and and Columbus and in Oklahoma that kept on teasing her she's going to have to be killed by her sister the other country you know the first time she leaves the first time arriving in that country and she refused to and and the boys you guys have to be killed by your brothers and the other country and and they refused to of every minute you could see it to use you wanted to talk to me about a black girl because you guys can't call out the white hair girls you guys can't insult the white hair boys from from Kansas and Dallas you guys are allowed to make fun of him you guys are allowed to call them out again and you only can call out and make fun of black girls and and black boys okay... Of you guys started talking about you you knew I know the reason and and again this this girl that this city what was at the mercy again doing a favor for for another city in need of of telling me about the other girl that she that you guys are doing a favor for the other black girl that you guys are doing in favor for and and again and in some cases they would insist on I'm telling me the the black girl's brother that you guys are doing a favor for in this country you know 100 miles north of here a hundred miles east of here of of you guys 24/7 using a behavior of that other family that that they didn't have in in Columbus and I didn't have in Oklahoma these small towns again you may have tricked everyone of the size of Columbus by not giving them cars and and the size of Pittsburgh by not giving them cars but I went to Atlanta for mine I went to Washington from mine again it's not the first time I've been in cities where everyone doesn't have a car and then everyone's escorted everywhere they go for them not to see how tiny that that pigeon-sized a****** city is... Of of every minute using a behavior of of someone greater or someone better and another city that that's extorting you guys to do these things to me of 24/7 using a behavior and a picture of mine that I brought in from the cities at that I was in of working with the people outside and 24/7 using other behavior to tell some story just to continue talking to me about something that has nothing to do with me this is something that I can't see outside....
My point is the filibuster of of this is all about you guys receiving better girls you know I'm going to have to put you guys on blast and in Florida make me hear some things and then there should be maybe some reactions to to the the way that you know obviously you know if my brother was here in 400,000 years ago my other brother was here obviously again of putting handcuffs on your people in Jacksonville and in Pensacola in Houston since this is about receiving a better girl since this is about receiving boys and girls from a bigger and better City... Yeah so I'm just anxious to get out of here

sorry to barge in but as some kinda Freddie "expert" I wanna mention his frequent use of harlequin costumes (this is the basis of my grad studies rn) and also slide in with this quote from Philip Auslander's "The Physical Performance of Popular Music"
"Living on My Own" music video (1985)
(Live in Dallas, I think 1977?)
he would often use harlequinesque flexibility while performing like i literally have that IWTV scene saved to my computer already because of how much it reminded me of his performance style & the parallels are insane lol
I'm not going too far into it because I have another paper to write but like "Scaramouche" is a dell'arte clown & "Bohemian Rhapsody" is a harlequinade cos it's the first ever music video of that style, kinda silly, super operatic, magical transformations connecting unrelated scenes, and the motherfuckers used actual glitter canons when I saw em last year: (from Wikipedia). also I don't remember my exact source because it's 2h30 AM but I will find it sometime, harlequin usually prompts the harlequinade by booping a mf on the head with his big old stick (The Gun) also Freddie was into fairies lol the twin fairies in the Queen logo are supposed to represent him even tho the whole thing is zodiac based and idk if twin fairies ever meant Virgo?
Originally a mime (silent) act with music and stylised dance, the harlequinade later employed some dialogue, but it remained primarily a visual spectacle. Early in its development, it achieved great popularity as the comic closing part of a longer evening of entertainment, following a more serious presentation with operatic and balletic elements. An often elaborate magical transformation scene, presided over by a fairy, connected the unrelated stories, changing the first part of the pantomime, and its characters, into the harlequinade. In the late 18th and 19th centuries, the harlequinade became the larger part of the entertainment, and the transformation scene was presented with increasingly spectacular stage effects. The harlequinade lost popularity towards the end of the 19th century and disappeared altogether in the 1930s, although Christmas pantomimes continue to be presented in Britain without the harlequinade.
Freddie often used a Pierrot/Canio "Pagliacco" persona to sing about shit like loneliness within his public persona (in "It's a Hard Life" (music video subtext & "Leoncavallo Vesti la giubba" quote at the begining) and The Platters' "The Great Pretender" (text & music video subtext) also brought together probably by Stevie Wonder/Smokey Robinson & The Miracles' "Tears of a Clown"
youtube
(the costumes from "It's a Hard Life" music video are super fucking like. Shakespearean theatre kids of the worst kind, ugly glam camp, and the audience is 18th century French nobles-coded, the calm introspective verses have him standing relatively still under a spotlight and then the higher energy chorus is in the same room as the crowd with tons of super performed harlequinesque gymnastics)
"The Great Pretender" lyrics and Freddie in the music video emerging from behind various different constructed cardboard cutouts of him as an "icon" (there's more but the main one here is "It's a Hard Life," "I Want to Break Free" synth solo, and the crown staff & cloak from 1986 Magic tour)
"Tears of a Clown" lyrics are legit the main thing that pops up when you google "the great pretender pagliacci" together anyways researching Freddie Mercury through the narrative presented by Queen is very much an "odyssey of recollection" lol, especially when working with interviews (none of us have access to "The Real Freddie Mercury" and none of these people are reliable narrators)
hi! i read one of yours asks where you say rockstar lestat isnt real real lestat. which is funny, because i never felt that difference, i never felt the rockstar "persona". i saw it as just lestat rockstaring in the books. he would never pretend to be something other than himself, i think. he can be quite the chamaleon and still be genuinely lestat, he is an ACTUOR in his veins afterall lol. so im curious about your view if you can elaborate.
you think in the show they are going for this and make a rockstar persona? because i did notice in the teaser he seems too fashionable, i always saw in the books him doing and being his own thing and not in a trendsetter way. just like "lets try this other thing out". i think he never cared about trends or being on top of the wave. lestat owned the rockstar, not the other way around, if makes any sense. he calls himself the outcast. and he called it his freddie mercury moment in the books, and in my opinion freddie too wasnt too bothered with what was happening around in the music business or being the top and just loved music and.. opera!
i hope they dont go with the bored soul, chaotic, sex and torment, groupies everywhere kind of trope. i mean he is much more alive than that, much more. rolin named dr frank n furter and also freddie! come on! lestat is too busy loving life and how poetic it can be to just enter the stereotypical vortex of the "rockstar" motif.
this started with curiousity and then i realized certain things that puzzled me. i hope i dont sound negative, sorry if i did. but i gotta say besides this, i love that song and i love the inspo daniel and rolin named, like books, musicals and music. but i really hope they dont go stereotypical rockstar tour with lestat.
i hope i managed to make you understand what i mean. all of this just because i saw the teaser too fashionable ahhaha.
All good, what I meant was that Lestat is sitting there in his make-up, and his costume... and that is a deliberate "persona". I don't mean that he is not real (that's why I said "real real"^^) there, but it is a facet, a mask.
Oh, he does have this in himself, this is very much an expression of himself - but this is probably not how he would hit the sofa to watch a movie with Louis.:) That's what I meant.
I for one cannot wait to see all the facets they will show us - and I bet the more colorful, and vibrant parts of the documentary will provide a very welcome counterpoint to the dark parts of TVL that are about to come up.
Re the fashion... I mean, in later books Lestat very much knows about style and how to clothe himself in stylish, sleek clothes. I personally cannot wait (and hope and pray) we get the table-axe moment. Like... can you imagine....
#i am so sorry this is fucking long#i don't wanna pretend anne rice or that dude who always has the book at comic con or the blond australian guy were all#united under this exact thought process#but consider this: audience interpretations are an active part of the persona and i am an audience#Youtube

Motorcity Headcanons: Cities/the outside
- Cleveland is in ruins the only people that live there are the nomadic groups that occasionally set up camp.
- New York City is domed but is considered a collection of towns/gang territories rather than a city. Only out of towners call it NYC, most people on the inside call it New Townships.
- Texas has five domed cities: Fort Worth, Austin, Dallas, Houston, and Weatherford. Unlike New Detroit and most other cities, the living and office work spaces are located underground to keep people safe from tornado/hail damage. The recreational spaces and factories are topside and people evacuate whenever a tornado shows up.
- The Texas cities are in regular contact with each other and with most out of state cities. Kane however refuses contact.
- Alaska has underground cities and towns, domes tend to crack from the extreme cold.
- D.C. is in Ruins and is considered cursed. People are especially terrified of the Abe Lincoln statue.
- some small towns and villages have makeshift domes, especially in areas where there was a lot of science/military related jobs. They work surprisingly well.
- where people live outside of the domes depends on how irradiated an area is.
- Most people outside the domes (called outsiders or outlanders) are nomadic and herd livestock. The most common livestock is tied between domesticated deer and goats.
- There are permanent settlements in the areas with the least amount of radiation. They grow mushrooms on logs and keep animals.
- life expectancy outside the domes is 60 years for women and 40 for men. The most common cause of death is cancer followed closely by getting got by mutants.
- They communicate with each other through HAM radios, telegrams, Morse code, bagpipes, and drums.

Contact Officials
GEORGE FLOYD is the name of the man who was murdered by DEREK CHAUVIN (badge 1087), TOU THAO (badge 7162), Thomas Lane, and J Alexander Kueng. If you truly care about getting justice, make phone calls to these numbers and express your anger. We cannot let another killer cop walk free.
UPDATE: As of May 29, Chauvin has been charged for third-degree murder. Continue pressuring officials for harsher charges because what he did was clearly not an accident. Also continue pushing for the other cops who were at the scene to be charged.

Hello [recipient],
I am writing to you in regards to the incident that occurred at 100 High Park Avenue on May 27th, 2020. A 29 year-old Black woman, Regis, has died after allegedly falling off her balcony, despite police being present.
As a concerned citizen, I am very upset and disturbed at the events that took place and the allegations that this caused on the part of the police. I am demanding justice and answers as to the death of Regis Korchinski-Paquet.
A complete and transparent public and independent investigation needs to take place. Charges need to be brought to all the officers involved, as well as all information and evidence should be made available to the public.
Sincerely,
[your name]

Have you ever had a crush on someone too old for you? Besides celebrities, the oldest person Iâve had a crush on was only a few years older.
Are you frightened by perfection? Iâm not a perfectionist if thatâs what you mean.Â
Who reminds you of you? I relate to a few of you guys on here on a lot of things.
What's your favorite Dr. Suess quote? âWe are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.â
Do you like Plushgun? What?
Are you impolite? No, I donât think so.
What are your obsessions? Books, giraffe-themed items, coffee, the beach, my favorite TV series and movies...

Is there any TV show you've seen every episode of? Thereâs several.
If you had to watch MTV, what show would you watch? I watch Teen Mom OG, Teen Mom 2, and Catfish.
Did you ever see the *More To Love* show? Nope, never heard of it.
Who would you send to fat camp? I wouldnât.
Is there any logical reason for humans to weigh 500lbs+? Logical? No, not that I can think of. But some people struggle with their weight and have health issues or something else that causes them to gain weight. You donât know a personâs situation.
Have you ever surfed? Well, no.
What do you do when you go to the beach? Lay out in the sand on a towel and tan or read a book and munch on snacks. <<< Literally same.
Do you know anyone that lives in an old farmhouse? I do not.
Dallas Green or Christofer Drew Ingle? Who and who?
RaptorJesus or iGod? ...
iPod or MP3? I havenât used either one in several years.
Zumiez or Pac Sun? Iâve bought stuff from both, but Iâm not a regular shopper at either one.

South Park or Family Guy? Not a fan of either one of those, either.
Snowboard or Ski? Neitherrrr.

Have you ever watched Jerry Springer? Yeah.
Name one Beatles song; Come Together.
Who's your favorite Beatle? I donât have a favorite.
Does Lady GaGa really have a wang? I forgot that was a rumor going around for some reason years ago. Who caressss.
How many words do you know for *Marijuana*? Marijuana, weed, pot, ganja, grass, green, bud...
Have you ever broken your school's dress code? Nah.
Do you have any Lost theories? --
If you were to have wings, what would you want them to look like? Boneless with some covered in garlic parmesan seasoning and some with lemon pepper. Haha. Iâd rather have those than actual wings, honestly.
What's your Last.fm page? I think I had an account before several years ago, but I donât remember it.
What's with the vampire craze? It was a big thing at one point and then it seemed to just die out. Admittedly, I got sucked into it as well.
The Lost Boys or Interview With A Vampire? I know of both, but havenât seen either one.
Have you ever broken up with someone to find you want them back later? No.
Has anyone ever dared you to eat a chilli pepper? Did you do it? No, but back when I could handle spicy food I probably would have.
Do you like spicy food? I used to be obSESSED with spicy food, but I canât eat it anymore. D:
Have you ever tried Thai food? No.
How do you dress when it's cold outside? Appropriately for the temperatures? What kind of a question is this? Lol. <<< Right?? Like, uh..warmly?
Have you ever watched Avatar; The TV Show, not the movie. Iâve seen bits of it cause my brother was into it when he was younger, but I was never into it myself.
What do you bring with you on a week-long trip? Clothes, medicine, laptop, chargers, other essentials.
How do you pass time in hotel rooms? Doing what Iâd do at home, which is chill in bed on my laptop.
Do you steal trolley carts? No?
What's your favorite Spongebob Squarepants episode? I donât have one.
How many different smileys can you make?:) I donât feel like making them.
What's your cellphone's signature for text? Thatâs not a thing anymore I donât think.
Say Goodbye. [: So long and goodnight.

âŹdes petits extraits de fiche pour celleux qui veulent dans le dĂ©roulĂ©!âŹ
( entrailles ) profil psychologique
secrĂšte, cachottiĂšre- zineb qui n'est pas toujours franche, zineb qui n'est pas toujours indiscrĂšte, zineb qui garde souvent les choses pour elle. par oubli, pour oublier. toi qui d'habitude crie le fond de tes pensĂ©es, voilĂ longtemps que tu as appris Ă tout planquer en dessous du tapis. tu as mĂȘme fini par adopter l'idĂ©e que les bons cĂŽtĂ©s de l'existence ne se trouvent plus que dans tes rĂȘves Ă©veillĂ©s, lĂ , quelque part, coincĂ©s dans un coin de ton crĂąne, et que tu devrais avoir honte de partager ce que tu peux bien voir ou savoir. audacieuse, hasardeuse- zineb qui n'est pas toujours prĂ©visible, zineb qui n'est pas toujours passive, zineb qui s'Ă©carte par moment des sentiers battus. par changement, pour changer. toi qui d'habitude suis le mouvement avec des ĆillĂšres, voilĂ qu'il t'arrive de dĂ©bloquer. tu redeviens cet Ă©talon sans brides, poussĂ© par l'adrĂ©naline, agissant par instinct. les souhaits hĂątifs qui deviennent des plans furieux, les banales futilitĂ©s qui se transforment en rĂ©els dangers. confuse, tumultueuse- zineb qui ne parle pas beaucoup, zineb qui n'est pas limpide, zineb qui s'embarrasse seule. par nervositĂ©, pour Ă©nerver. les pensĂ©es qui prennent racine comme de vulgaires pissenlits Ă la derniĂšre averse, et qui poussent, se bousculent, s'entrechoquent, s'emmĂȘlent, fusent ensemble, et se bouffent pour au final ne rien donner. des amas d'idĂ©es, qui sâamoncellent, tanguent, flanchent, s'Ă©crasent dans un silence mortel. les bĂ©gaiements informes, les phrases partielles, la confiance dĂ©fectueuse, les malaises par centaines. douce, tendre- zineb qui ne sait pas ĂȘtre un mur, zineb qui n'a jamais levĂ© la main sur autrui, zineb qui ne peut ĂȘtre qu'affection. par amour, pour aimer. ton aura chaleureuse qui te rattrape Ă chaque fois, qu'importe les dĂ©ceptions et les colĂšres. les gens qui prennent tes rĂ©solutions et tes menaces difficilement au sĂ©rieux car incapable d'haĂŻr et de rejeter. la vĂ©ritĂ©, c'est que ta foi t'en dĂ©tourne, que ton cĆur ne peut en supporter les tensions. gauche, empotĂ©e- zineb qui ne contrĂŽle rien, zineb qui ne sait pas ĂȘtre Ă deux endroits en mĂȘme temps, zineb qui laisse tout filer. par distraction, pour distraire. tu es de ceux qui se gamellent Ă cause de leurs propres pieds, rĂ©agissent sans rĂ©flĂ©chir sous stress, font de leur mieux pour ĂȘtre le plus utile possible, et mieux se foirer au final. comme si le karma te pointait du doigt Ă chaque fois, et pourtant, et pourtant tu es lĂ . abĂźmĂ©e certes, mais toujours entiĂšre. endurante, tenace- zineb qui ne quitte pas facilement le navire, zineb qui ne dĂ©lĂšgue pas tout aux autres, zineb qui encaisse la douleur. par espoir, pour espĂ©rer. les canines qui s'enfoncent dans la chair, les larmes furieuses qui s'Ă©coulent le long des joues, les cris silencieux qui rĂ©pondent aux prĂ©cĂ©dents, Ă©touffĂ©s plus tĂŽt. pour certains une qualitĂ©, admirable comme excitante, pour d'autres un flĂ©au exĂ©crable, provocateur. si les secrets et les maux sont avec toi bien gardĂ©s, quitte Ă te lacĂ©rer les tripes de l'intĂ©rieur, la peur et les plaies finissent parfois par obtenir quelques aveux de tes poumons Ă bout de souffle. sensible, dĂ©licate- zineb qui n'est pas toujours inutile, zineb qui n'est pas toujours rigoureuse, zineb qui ressent instantanĂ©ment, profondĂ©ment. par survie, pour survivre. paranoĂŻaque ou simplement sur le qui-vive, tu n'as jamais Ă©tĂ© des loups mais plutĂŽt des chiens qui gardent la maison. un bruissement, un dĂ©calage, et tu sais que quelque chose ne va pas. souvent prise pour une rabat-joie asociale et coincĂ©e, tu te rĂ©fĂšres pas mal Ă ces notes sur internet qui disaient toujours se fier Ă ses instincts.

avant tout ça y'avait maman y'avait papa. y'avait maman pour te rappeler de sortir les poubelles en gueulant ton nom, y'avait papa pour te klaxonner de la rue pour te rĂ©veiller et t'inciter Ă bouger ton cul, y'avait jadzia pour cogner le mur d'Ă cĂŽtĂ© du pied t'ordonnant de baisser le son de ta tĂ©lĂ©. avant tu pouvais rester en ligne pendant des heures, chanter Ă tue-tĂȘte avec ta soeur quand les parents n'Ă©taient pas lĂ , aller au cinĂ© avec ton trio de potes le samedi quand t'Ă©tais d'humeur Ă t'habiller. avant t'habitais Ă new york, dans les lotissements oĂč seuls les rĂ©sidents sont apprĂ©ciĂ©s, puis un Ă©tĂ© la famille vous a invitĂ©s, et vous vous ĂȘtes retrouvĂ©s en plein sud, amarillo, histoire de vous faire les roues sur la cĂ©lĂšbre 66.
avant que les médias ne s'affolent,
avant qu'on ne vous vole,
avant que vous ne vous retrouviez avec un mort au sol.
avant tout ça y'avait maman y'avait jadzia. y'avait maman pour te rappeler combien tu te devais d'ĂȘtre forte, y'avait jadzia pour cogner le mur d'Ă cĂŽtĂ© du poing t'ordonnant de garder toute ta tĂȘte pour elle. avant vous aviez tous pliĂ© bagages pour dĂ©mĂ©nager dans une rĂ©serve aux traditions archaĂŻques, de plus en plus peuplĂ©e par d'autres pairs ricains. avant tu n'avais jamais vraiment vu de marcheur de prĂšs; t'avais Ă peine dix-huit ans, tout ce que tu savait faire c'Ă©tait puiser de l'eau pour ton peuple, occuper les mioches et les vieux, cuisiner tout ce que les hommes pouvaient rĂ©cupĂ©rer de leurs expĂ©ditions.
avant que papa ne revienne pas,
avant que jadzia ne se fasse amputer le bras,
avant que la réserve ne meure sous les balles dans un fracas.
aprĂšs.
aprĂšs tout ça il y a eu la nuit noire, pendant longtemps. trop longtemps. les plus forts, massacrĂ©s. les plus fiers, Ă©crasĂ©s. hommes, femmes, enfants, tous furent rĂ©coltĂ©s, attachĂ©s, rabaissĂ©s. les infirmes, rectifiĂ©s. les plus ĂągĂ©s, effacĂ©s. vous Ă©tiez plus nombreux qu'eux, et pourtant sans armes, sans Ăąme. la volontĂ© de lutter n'Ă©tait plus; il fallait marcher, continuer, qu'importe les pertes, qu'importe les pleurs. pieds et poings liĂ©s, assoiffĂ©s, affamĂ©s, les chevaux ont fini par s'arrĂȘter au pied de champs, non loin de fermes et de granges. et le cauchemar a continuĂ©. renommĂ©s, cataloguĂ©s, rĂ©partis tels de vulgaires objets, vous Ă©tiez bien loin de deviner ce qui allait vous arriver.Â
la mĂšre et le fils, reine rĂ©gente et fils auto-couronnĂ© du nouvel ordre, qu'importe si le dit territoire se limitait Ă des tĂŽles et des fils barbelĂ©s. dans ce camp de radicaux, tu n'Ă©tais plus zineb, mais dallas foxx - non seulement parce qu'il s'agissait du nom de son ancienne fiancĂ©e, retrouvĂ©e avec le colt dans la gorge, mais aussi parce qu'un esclave se doit d'adopter le nom de famille de son propriĂ©taire, comme un simple code barre sur l'oreille d'un bovin. l'entretien de la maison, de la famille, du leader, encore et encore et encore. la nuit noire fut longue, Ă force de fermer les yeux, de craquer, de prier, de cĂ©der.Â
aprÚs les humiliations à répétition,
aprÚs une journée dans le four,
aprÚs que maman ait succombé au fouet.
aprÚs tout ça il y a eu une étincelle. les ténÚbres devaient cesser. à cinq, vous aviez assez de fougue pour dire que c'en était assez. et cette nuit-là fut sûrement la plus belle de toutes, éclairée par le feu gourmand, criminel, qui, comme par magie, ne se délectait que de la maison de tes bourreaux. si les flammes s'étaient propagées aux autres habitations, si les flammes s'étaient avérées meurtriÚres, si les flammes avaient permis la fuite d'autrui, tu étais maintenant trop loin pour le deviner. vous aviez pourtant dit tous vous retrouver au 4x4 avec provisions et de quoi vous défendre, mais seule l'une d'entre eux se pointa, empressée d'user de votre unique billet de sortie, de peur d'y rester malgré les efforts et les coups bas.
vous étiez libres à nouveau, humaines à nouveau.
le monde pourtant n'avait pas changer. impossible de dire s'il Ă©tait plus cruel et plus dangereux, mais la poisse elle vous suivait Ă la trace. les hauts-le-cĆur matinaux, les marcheurs, les pneus dĂ©fectueux, la faim grandissante.. on t'ordonne de te mĂ©nager, de ne pas prendre de risques inutiles, de te reposer autant que possible, de faire attention Ă ta santĂ©, sans que tu ne veuilles rĂ©ellement comprendre la situation.
encore aujourd'hui tu t'obstines Ă ne pas y penser. c'est impossible. tu n'en veux pas. pas de lui, pas comme ça, pas maintenant ; toi qui pensais t'ĂȘtre dĂ©barrasser des foxx Ă jamais, ton corps te hurlait que c'Ă©tait loin d'ĂȘtre le cas.
aprÚs qu'elle ne soit pas revenue de l'hypermarché,
aprÚs tout ce qui était arrivé.
la nuit noire venait de se prolonger.

THE PROPHETIC QUEST: An excerpt
From The Prophetic Quest: The Stained Glass Windows of Jacob Landau, Reform Congregation Keneseth Israel, Elkins Park, Pennsylvania by David S. Herrstrom and Andrew D. Scrimgeour
Landau was a social critic and humanist. His art vividly exposed the cruelty of humans against humansâthe death camps of Poland, the killing fields of Vietnam and Cambodia, and the assassinations in Dallas and Memphis. The committee chose Landau in part because of his concern with social justice.
The contract for the project stipulated that Landau would prepare preliminary sketches for the ten windows and submit them to the committee and the board of trustees within six months. The board would then decide whether to accept them and proceed with the project or terminate the contract and turn to other artists.

The biblical prophets caught Landauâs imagination for the [Keneseth Israel] project. âI wanted to do the prophets almost immediately,â he said, âbecause they represent the best elements in Judaism, in that they essentially were protesters and rebels and people who were inclined to uphold morality and ethical behavior.â He studied the ancient texts and consulted major commentaries, including the works of Abraham Heschel, Martin Buber, and Karl Jung. But it was Buberâs The Prophetic Faith that became his primary tutor. Contrary to a persistent misunderstanding, the biblical prophet (nabi), in Buberâs view, âwas no clairvoyant but the bearer of aâwordâ of God that he spoke as an alternative placed before the people in a concrete situation.â He was not foretelling the future; he sought to change the inequities of the present. The prophets insisted that there can be no division between the âreligiousâ and the âsocial.â To be the people of Yahweh, they thundered, requires a revision of the social orderâone that takes the side of the oppressed. As Jon Levenson notes, âUnlike so many scholars of the Hebrew Bible, Buber does not get lost in the details of compositional, religious, or political history, nor does he hyper-focus on the exegesis of particular verses. Rather, his attention lies on what is most important to him . . . the personally and socially transformative encounter with the eternal You.â

Landau had never attempted a project of this size and complexity, and he found that developing the concepts and the sketches required more time than was allotted in the contract. Almost a year later, he presented sketches for what he called a âcycle of windowsâ with the theme âThe Prophetic Succession,â with âGood and Evilâ a subtheme. Their function was to âdetail the essence of the prophetic mission and experience. . . . Between God and suffering a mysterious connection exists, pointing the way to purification.â16 Each window portrayed a biblical prophet, the cycle beginning with Abraham and ending with Malachi.

The sketches and one finished painting for the windows generated excitement and vigorous discussion. Two of the donors had seen the sketches and registered their approval, as had four art experts, including the dean of the Tyler School of Art at Temple University. When the final vote was taken by the board of trustees, it was an overwhelming affirmation: twenty-one to seven. The committee was commended for fulfilling its charge. The concerns of the minority voices were not unexpectedâ unhappiness with the âbusynessâ of the designs, worry that the color palette was too complex to be fully captured in glass, and discomfort with the images of stark atrocities that would be permanently lodged in the sanctuary.

David S. Herrstrom is an independent scholar and President of the Jacob Landau Institute. He is the author of several books of poetry, including Jonahâs Disappearance and Appearing by Daylight, which feature drawings by Jacob Landau.
Andrew D. Scrimgeour is Dean of Libraries Emeritus at Drew University, Archivist Emeritus of the Society of Biblical Literature, and the founding archivist of the American Academy of Religion. His essays and stories have been published in the New York Times.

Is Cheerleading A Sport?
Ever wonder who thought of the idea to have girls cheering with pom poms in front of fans at a football game? Would you be surprised that it was accidentally founded by a man in 1898. Since early 1900âs women have dominated cheerleading and have since incorporated the 4 elements that make up cheerleading; Dance, Stunting, Tumbling and Jumps.
Despite all of the hard work it takes to be a cheerleader there is still a large controversy on if cheerleading is a sport. So what makes a sport a sport? And can something that was not intended on being a sport develop into one? My answer is absolutely. Have you noticed that there are some âSportsâ at the Olympics that you have never seen or heard of before? That doesnât mean they are not a sport. Some may argue that there is not a Cheerleading event at the Olympics therefore it is not a ârealâ sport, well there are so many other sports such as Football, lacrosse or the âAmerican Sportâ baseball who are not included in the Olympic games. Does this mean that they should not be considered sports but rather â Activitiesâ. Maybe it's the bias stereotype that cheerleading holds that it cannot be taken serious enough to be considered, maybe not making it an official sport is protecting the sport itself or maybe it doesn't meet the qualifications for it to be considered a sport, but if so what are the qualifications to have a sport considered an âofficialâ sport?Â
So what is a sport? Well according to The oxford dictionary it defines the word âSportâ as âan activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainmentâ  Let's break this down, âan activity involving physical excretionâ, cheerleading is very active between the four major elements it contains. Dancing: which is movement of the entire body and uses a lot of cardio. Tumbling: being able to through your body into the air over your head and being able to land back onto your feet. Stunting: which is using your body to hold and keep another cheerleader in the air and catching them on the way down. â Skill in which an individual or team competesâ Cheerleading does involve skill and not everyone has the skills to be a cheerleader. This is why competitions started, to judge the skill level of a cheerleading team. These skills can be tested on both a school- sponsored and all star competition level as they have different rules for each. âOthers for entertainmentâ Cheerleading started to encourage the crowd whose team was down or apart of a losing streak. As all things evolve, it became known as purposely for entertainment on the sidelines and performing during timeouts and half-time breaks. I mean part of going to watch basketball or football games is the entertainment such as the â Laker Girlsâ or â Dallas Cowboy Cheerleadersâ you get to enjoy their presence and you can always count on the cheerleaders being there to be the entertainment on the sidelines regardless of how the game is actually going. Most half time performances involve cheerleaders or a collaboration with the cheerleaders and another form of entertainment. So according to the oxford dictionaryâs guidelines, cheerleading is considered a sport.Â
With all sports there is a risk of injury and cheerleading is not different. The American Medical Association thinks, âin the name of safety that cheerleading should be considered a sportâ. Cheerleading is the only physical sport that its surface changes. Cheerleading can be done on a mat (Competition) on a hard surface such as cement ( Parade), hardwood (basketball) or track flooring (Football) and risk of injury changes depending on the surface.Part of cheerleading is stunting which has cheerleaders hold other cheerleaders above their head and even sometimes on one foot, there is definitely a high risk for injury with gravity not being on our side. Did you know that Cheerleading accounts for 65% of all direct catastrophic injuries to girl athletes at a high school level and almost 71% at the college level according to a report from the American Academy of pediatrics in 2012. Those numbers alone should draw concern to how dangerous cheerleading is and it needs to be taken more seriously. So with an activity that is potentially so dangerous why has this not been considered a sport yet?Â
Unfortunately since it is not considered a sport, schools nor colleges support or claim to be liable for the safety of cheerleaders who are cheering for their own school. Did you know that there is no insurance provided to cheerleaders by the NCAA at a college level. All collegiate cheerleaders are required to have private insurance or if the school is wealthy enough the private âClubâ will have insurance that is ran by their own organization or boosters. Cheerleaders are at risk of the same injuries that could happen to a football, soccer or basketball athlete that is covered by the NCAA, but they do not consider cheerleading a sport due to its âsupportive, noncompetitive role in galvanizing fans to support other athletesâ (A direct quote from the NCAA) while that is true, the job of a college cheerleader is to cheer on and support other athletes as well as encourage fans and student body, but in the second statement given by the NCAA is false and college cheerleaders also compete against other college cheerleaders in the college championships and therefore should be recognized as a sport.
 Could cheerleading not being recognized as a sport have something to do with the fact that it would be one of the only sports with men and women on the same team and not divided by their sex? The only other sports are pairs ice skating, pairs tennis, and luge. But unlike those sports cheerleading does not have to have an equal male to female ratio for a team to compete against another team. Maybe it's because cheerleaders are 97% women? If we look at this at a sexist standpoint, it could be because this sport is made up of mostly women.If it was recognized as a real sport more men would be inclined to join and the percentage would change. May come as a shock to some but Cheerleading was invented by a man named John Campbell in 1898. John was very enthusiastic at a college game and on the spot made up the first ever âCheerâ.  After that cheerleading became huge first within the college community but it then grew to high school and youth levels. How exciting as that is, it was not until 1923 that they even allowed women to be cheerleaders, and women have been fighting for equality in this sport ever since. Some may argue that gymnastics is also mostly women which is also true, but 21% of gymnasts are males unlike in cheerleading where there are only 3%. So maybe cheerleading needs more men to have it be considered a sport. But if that's the case its setting women equality back 100 years.
 Some people think that cheerleading is not a sport because they think they don't have rules and regulations like traditional sports do. Cheerleading may not have a referee to enforce rules but cheerleading does have rules just like any other sport. There are time limits, legal moves, and you can be disqualified the same way you would be for a red or yellow card. Cheerleading in fact has its own safety association called American Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Administrators ( AACCA)  as well as NFHS. They decide what stunts, tumbling and moves are legal from year to year. Movies such as a the âBring It Onâ saga dramatize the rules that real cheerleaders have to follow, so all of the 3 men high stunts, belly rings and crop top uniforms are not allowed in traditional school level cheerleading. Bring it on also makes it seem like a club and not a sport because it doesnât show a coach but just like any other sport, cheerleaders have to have a coach. There is a try out process, practices, summer boot camps, dress uniforms, and uphold academic and honor codes. There are other rules such as; all routines can be no longer than 2 minutes and 30 seconds, there are specific stunts that they cannot do on certain surfaces ( football track vs basketball hardwood) they can stunt and tumble while the ball is in play at football games but not while in play at basketball games and those are just a few of the rules that cheerleaders have to abide by, just like any other sport.
Some people in the cheerleading community are happy that cheerleading is not officially considered a sport. Most high schools have a limit on the amount of hours a team can practice or gather together each week, since cheerleading is not considered they do not have a limit. Besides taking time to learn dances, cheers, stunts and tumbling cheerleaders have to set aside time to make posters for their school and school athletics. They prepare and plan school events such as pep rallies, homecoming, alumni and end of the year dinners. Did you know that cheerleaders do not just cheer for football and basketball but also volleyball and wrestling which makes cheerleading a year round sport. If it was considered an official sport and had the limited 12 hour a week practice/gather time limit on it, cheerleaders would not be able to do half of the things that they do for their school and their schools athletics.Â
I believe that cheerleading is a sport because it requires an amazing amount of athleticism. From practices to competitions, cheerleaders face the same physical, mental and emotional obstacles that all other athletes in recognized sports face. It may not be in the Olympics or recognized by the NCAA but cheerleading is a competitive sport that will continue to evolve until the world recognizes it as what it is, a SPORT
