Do you understand? When I am done telling you these stories, when you're done listening to these stories, I am no longer I, and you are no longer you. In this afternoon we briefly merged into one. After this, you will always carry a bit of me, and I will always carry a bit of you, even if we both forget this conversation.

Day 3: Invisible
[Full strip without text under cut]
[Dialogue]
-
"Hey, Danny! Wanna play?"
"Sorry Youngblood. I can't play with you anymore, remember?"
"Oh, yeah. I forgot you grew up."
"Do you want me to sketch you again?"
"Nah, your memory is getting worse. I looked like a monkey in the last one. It sucked."

[If it isn’t clear, Danny can hear Youngblood, but not see him. The downside of losing his ghost powers post Phantom Planet.]

Striking new Webb image showing alignment of bipolar jets confirms star formation theories
(Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, K. Pontoppidan (NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory), J. Green (Space Telescope Science Institute))
"For the first time, a phenomenon astronomers have long hoped to image directly has been captured by the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope's Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam). In this stunning image of the Serpens Nebula, the discovery lies in the northern area of this young, nearby star-forming region.
The astronomers found an intriguing group of protostellar outflows, formed when jets of gas spewing from newborn stars collide with nearby gas and dust at high speeds. Typically, these objects have a variety of orientations within one region. Here, however, they are all slanted in the same direction, to the same degree, like sleet pouring down during a storm."
"So, just how does the alignment of the stellar jets relate to the rotation of the star? As an interstellar gas cloud collapses in on itself to form a star, it spins more rapidly. The only way for the gas to continue moving inward is for some of the spin (known as angular momentum) to be removed.
A disk of material forms around the young star to transport material down, like a whirlpool around a drain. The swirling magnetic fields in the inner disk launch some of the material into twin jets that shoot outward in opposite directions, perpendicular to the disk of material."

The Stench is REAL: Rotten Eggs + Reeking Weed Factory+ Bad Pipes = "It smells. Bad. VERY bad. VERY VERY bad."
The irony of bridezlla Rachel MEgain Markle kicking up a fuss over a one (1) hour "spectacle" inside the Queen’s "musty" chapel, only to acquire a 1st homebuyer loan for an odorous property.
"It smells like offal that has been rotting in the sun. It makes my stomach churn," a local from the Montecito area reportedly told The Mirror. "I’ve seen lots of homeowners closing their windows when it wafts over."
"According to the New York Post, the smell is wafting over from a nearby bird refuge (which is situated on a 42-acre stretch of saltwater marsh). Specifically, the refuge is the Andrée Clark Bird Refuge, which happens to be one of the largest wildlife refuges in the U.S. Cameron Benson, the City of Santa Barbara's clean water manager, told the Mirror that stagnant water can contribute to the smell, and that the “odor issues are sporadic and sometimes they are worse in some conditions."
"Last year, it was reported the Duke and Duchess of Sussex live just minutes from a legal weed factory base in Santa Barbara, California.
The couple's mansion is just up the road from the 20 large greenhouses full of the plants - leaving the luxury suburb reeking.
Neighbours made a string of complaints, sparking the company to install new “odour control systems”.
The Meghans, Dorito & Markus can get high just by standing outdoors as "...one resident complained that the stench was so bad that they had to pull over while driving along the road."
Imagine taking out a $14.65 million dollar loan on your VERY first home: a 9 bedroom, 16 bathroom mansion and you are CanNOT use your property for business purposes. No Spotify podcasts, NO staged Megflix/Netflix zoom calls, NO staged juggling acts outside the windows, NO book interviews, NO staged instant messages from Beyonce, NO Easter egg hunts, NO cooking shows, NO Variety photo shoots---- only 1 chicken coop interview with NOprah.
The 14,500sq ft, or 1,350sq m, main house sits on 7.4ac of grounds that include a pool, tennis court, tea house and children's cottage.
Money Pit : "The pair have paid a lot less for the property than a previous owner: in May 2009 it sold for more than $25 million. It was put on the market in 2015 for $34.5 million but failed to sell. It was relisted at the start of this year for $16.975 million, selling to the Sussexes for $2.325 million less than the asking price at $14.65 million."

TS 12: A book release?
Quick thoughts,
I recently watched a video made by @Tiffers on the TickyTok, I'll go repost if anyone is interested, my TT is @olivia_iloveya
The video brought up a possible book theory...
I can't get too in-depth on the details, but here are some of my thoughts/theories.
Thoughts, a book could serve as a guide or key to connecting some missing details in the story...I love all the small details, but these are what is needed most for the majority of fans to connect this story.
Keys 🔑 🗝️🔐 are rotated 🔄 to unlock 🔓...
We received BOOKMARKS in the collectors edition CDs for TTPD.
Taylor ties albums' loose ends together, for example,
at the end of Midnight, HITS DIFFERENT:
I heard your key turn in the door down the hallway
Is that your key in the door?
Is it okay? Is it you?
Or have they come to take me away?
To take me away
TS 10 ties to TS 11 🧶
TTPD, Fortnight:
I was supposed to be sent away
But they forgot to come and get me...
So how might a new project, say whatever Taylor has planned for TS 12, begin?
Well let's see...
The Tortured Poets Department ends with The Manuscript (MAN U SCRIPT)
Now and then I reread the manuscript
But the story isn't mine anymore
Is Taylor's story not hers anymore because it's now going to be shared with US?
The Story of Us
Gracie Abrams teases us a little with her own album, The Secret of Us
I have a date 9/6...
9/6 rotated 🔄 is 9/6
Spotify spiral 🌀 alice playlist...pointed me to this date when it was released after You're Losing Me Came out
...remember Taylor credited her heartbeat in YLM, by listing spiral alice
spiral alice (anagram) ↔️ "capillaries" 🫀
The spiral 🌀 alice playlist has 9 TS songs, every 6th song...
Spotify Artist of the Year, friendship bead road only has 8, 9, and 6 beads...there's also some other "random" beads, and one ☝🏼 tiny H bead to the left of the Earthquake seismograph 🤭
It was after listening to @Tiffers speak about the possibility of a book, that I realized 9/6 is also
🥁
Sooooo, thoughts?
It would be so unexpected in the most expected way?!?
Thank goodness we have only 1 more day until SeptEMBER 9th
