“IGOR” - TYLER THE CREATOR (2019)

very sexy of joe alwyn to have the eyes of millions of prying swifties on him for months and to only ever be like "btw you should care about gaza"

A lot of Brazilian fans waking up to who Taylor Swift actually is and honestly? Finally.

The way she has handled not only the death of a fan but the rescheduling of her concert has been nothing short of horrendous and she deserves all the criticism she’s getting from Brazilian swifities and the general public around here. All she cares about is her brand and how things will impact her carefully built image:

- She made a point of posting an Instagram stories (so it won’t be on her feed) about the death of a fan without even mentioning the girl by name, lying about it happening before her concert when in reality the girl started succumbing to the heat when cruel summer was playing, and saying she wouldn’t talk about the girl on stage at all (probably so there wouldn’t be video recording of her talking about it).

- She waited an entire day, knowing fans were queuing under the sun to enter the venue, and when 95% of the public was already inside the stadium, to only then announce it via insta stories again that the show would be rescheduled, an hour before the show was about to start. Taylor’s team and t4f spent the entire day in “conversations” about rescheduling the concert or not and were “monitoring” the situation. As if the weather forecast wasn’t known for days ahead of the day of the concert. As if a fan hadn’t died the day prior because of the heat.

I’ll finish this post with the statement about North American fans not being able to buy tickets vs statement about Brazilian fans who spent hours and hours in line in a 42 degree sun, entered the stadium, spent absurd amounts of money on water (which was not in abundance as expected), after a fan died the day prior because of the heat:

I hope Brazilians (and people from countries outside Europe and North America) start realizing how these international stars actually treat us and stop giving these people any kind of respect, they clearly do not deserve it. Let’s celebrate our national music scene or international artists who actually give a fuck about us.

Are they just making up that Espresso has autoplay and Fortnight doesn't or is that real?

Taylor sees her protégé out-charting her for the first time ever, so naturally she puts out a new fortnite single CD because she can’t stand not being #1.

and she also never has enough MONEY from her fans.

Also, the swifties on twitter are SOOO ANGRY about it!! They’re accusing Sabrina of fraud, saying she only has a bit because of autoplay, acting like Taylor’s a victim because she might not win all the big awards, as if she isn’t a BILLIONAIRE who doesn’t already have ENOUGH fucking awards!!

They’re blaming spotify autoplay for Sabrina out charting Taylor, because it’s not possible that people would rather listen to a fun, upbeat, catchy song like Espresso instead of a 34 year old woman with “teenage petulance” moaning about the loss of her love with a racist ugly shit, and talking about k wording herself and others.

GONE are the days of swifties creepily claiming Sabrina as Taylor’s daughter. Now that she’s getting too successful, she’s an enemy now. Just like another young female pop vocalist that they hate.

not any previous anon but thank you for sharing that you support Palestine. Idk why there are so many zionists roaming the anti ts tag. I blocked jewishbarbies after she said something about how Jewish Voices for Peace were not speaking in the interest of Jewish people. I mean, JVP is Jewish, and they are pro peace so idk how she came to that conclusion 🙄

I feel like there is no other appropriate stance than to stand with Palestine. Anyone else cosigns genocide. I blocked jewishbarbies way back in October when she called it the “israel hamas conflict” which is 🚩 and steadily blocked any blogs since who continued to interact with her/other zionists in the tag. I can’t believe there’s a huge zionist presence in this tag because it feels so RANDOM.

Also jewishbarbies saying JVP aren’t a real Jewish organization goes to show how zionists delegitimize Jews who condemn the illegal settler colony that is Israel. I’m so lucky and happy I have so many jewish friends who stand in solidarity with and actively participate in Pro-Palestine actions because they know that Israel doesn’t represent Judaism.

Anyways. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free 🇵🇸

imagine saying this about your boyfriends mental health issues

and then wondering why he didn’t want to marry you

Lol tumblr just straight up deleted my reblog of the ttpd ad they've shown me 10x promoting the line "one less temptress, one less dagger to sharpen" because I pointed out the misogyny and and hypocrisy considering her album is about her being ~*tempted*~ 🙄 by a guy* and then leaving her boyfriend for him. Mother must not be criticized!

*I'd call Matty something, but there's no male equivalent to the word "temptress" with the same connotations and shaming power. Hmm, what does that tell us?

hearing someone tell the same boring or only mildly interesting story more than twice is unbearable to me. it's like there are ants under my skin. i have to leave the room or if i can't i have to pull out every mental trick i have to distract myself and then vent later and I'm pretty sure it still shows in my body language despite my best efforts.

taylor swift is like someone who tells the same few mildly interesting stories over and over and over. her music isn't garbage or anything, but at the same time 90% of it is unbearable to me because every single she releases gets so much play, it gives me the same ants under my skin feeling and i often can't get away from it.

and it's not just her music, it's also the constant narrative around her. i was made to sit through a mini documentary about her relationship with travis kelce on espn, treating her like a saint doing a public service for bringing more customers to the multibillion dollar CTE league that is the biggest financial supporter of tackle football for children. (I am on record hating tackle football, the NFL, and its youth outreach long before this)

ever since the self-proclaimed activist happily accepted being named more influential on world events than any world leader and used the platform to talk about no world events or anything worthwhile, it's like the ants have become bullet ants whenever i hear this saint swift narrative repeated. we're even supposed to say "thank you mommy, may i have another" to the billionaire making millions on obscenely priced concerts that are supposedly "holding up the whole economy". i'm just never going to understand people who worship her (not just like her music) and dedicate their time to giving her unpaid promo and claim to care about things like genocide and the environment and wealth disparity.

anyway, that's why stuff bugs me. please tag everything that's related to taylor with "#taylor swift" so people's blacklists work properly. A LOT of y'all don't and it's giving ants!

i hope that the discussion about student protests does not get reduced to "privileged rich kids faffing around at an ivy league school." setting aside that tenuous claim, over the last week, protests have erupted over the entire country. a few days ago, riot police beat, pepper-sprayed, and arrested NYU faculty shielding students; protests started at the university of southern california when the admin cancelled the valedictorian's speech; encampments appeared at the university of southern carolina, UT dallas, the university of maryland, the university of new mexico, IUPUI, virginia tech, the university of virginia, the university of illinois, the university of north carolina — chapel hill, the university of pittsburgh, uc berkeley, the university of michigan — ann arbor, MIT, emerson, tufts, the university of rochester, rice, swarthmore, the new school, vanderbilt university, with students arrested; students protested or walked out at miami university, northwestern, temple, the 5 claremont colleges: pomona, pitzer, scripps, harvey mudd, and claremont mckenna, stanford, washington university in st louis, students were arrested at ohio state, students were confronted by riot police at cal poly humboldt, after which they occupied campus, students were arrested at the university of minnesota — twin cities, after which faculty walked out; and yes, there are protests at the other ivies, most notably yale, with students facing mass arests after encampments, but there is also an encampment at brown, protests appeared at cornell, princeton faculty issued a statement of solidarity while students are preparing an encampment, and harvard banned the undergraduate palestine solidarity committee. there are thousands of students who are protesting for palestine across the entire country, facing harassment, arrest, and suspension in return

Ok gotta talk about it.

As a Jewish historian, I fucking hate Israel in ways most probably will never be able to comprehend. I'm going to try and explain it anyways. The central creation myth of Israel is that it is Jewish, and then consequently, that Israel is a part of Jewishness. Its easy to simply state this is false, but fully comprehending this and putting it into practice in thought and deed seems rare to me.

The evil at the heart of this violence predates the recent acceleration of genocide. Israel is a colony, and more than that, an antisemitic fraud itself. After WW2, when Israel was being founded, the Jews of Europe generally did not wave goodbye to their neighbors and head to the promised land. Many were expelled from their homes. Zionism itself, as an action, was a false choice at the time. A mere excuse to place an ally in the middle east, and an excuse to complete the expulsion and destruction of the European Jew. The Zionist Jew is more than complicit in this, they actively seek the destruction and assimilation of all other Jews.

Many fail to realize, and largely because of Israel, that Jews are not inherently white, Ashkenazi, European-descended people. Our faith and culture has an immense variety that is spread all across the globe. Jewishness, in population and volume of culture, exists more so outside of Israel than within it. Israel is for a very specific kind of Jew. The kind that lets Yiddish die, that attaches themselves to European things, that makes themselves and their practices as white as possible.

And they have the nerve, the fucking belligerent GALL, to frame themselves as the necessary saviors of our people. To the Zionist, questioning Israel is to question Jewishness itself. They bake adoration for the colonial machine into their very prayers, and push them on us even as children. To *not* oppress, to *not* kill, to *not* genocide, is to invite death. This is the core of fascistic thought, of course. "Kill them before they kill us." And they KNOW this too, they really do. The truth of that irony does not matter, because as is true for all fascists, the truth itself does not matter to them. They wanted this, they wanted this even before the British saw it in their best interest to give them the land. Any excuse to RETVRN, as the neo-nazis say of Rome, or the German Empire, or whatever the fuck stupid country they want to poorly animate the corpse of. Some select Zionists even *sided with the fucking Nazis* in agreement they should abandon Europe to colonize Palestine. (Haavara Agreement)

My people have proved time and time and time again you don't need a nation state to have an enduring culture. We have protected ourselves for thousands of years without the help of these spiteful, doom-saying maniacs. I was going to post something like this on Passover, but that would be hypocritical. The state of Israel doesn't actually have shit to do with Jewishness. שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְה Vi tsu derleb ikh im shoyn tsu bagrobn. [my best translation] Hear Israel (beginning of a prayer in Hebrew) I should outlive him long enough to bury him. (an old Yiddish curse)

Free Palestine. Donate what you can, they need it right now.

Taylor is so threatened by other female artists. When she wanted to fully switch over to put, she decided to start a smear campaign against Katy Perry. At the time, Katy was coming off of the massive success of the Teenage Dream album and her follow-up album (Prism) had two smash worldwide and US hits in Roar and Dark Horse. She was the #1 pop girl at the time and Taylor was clearly vying to take her place with the 1989 album. This would be fine if she didn’t decide to start a feud with Katy for no reason.

Years later, you’d think she would’ve grown up. Instead, she saw the rise of Olivia Rodrigo, who was occupying the same “relatable singer-songwriter” as her. Instead of lifting Olivia up, she decided to steal credits from her over two songs that didn’t even sound anything alike.

Now, she got angry at Billie for calling out her and decided to release new versions of her album just to block her from number one.

For someone who claims to be a feminist and claims “misogyny” anytime she is criticized, Taylor has no problem attacking other female artists over petty reasons.

She's actively sabotaging female artists, and yes it has been noticed. If she had a manager they would have strongly advised her against this.
