Displaced children have been forced to seek makeshift shelter in chicken coops after their tents succumbed to flooding. This tragic reality evokes painful echoes of history, reminiscent of the deplorable conditions endured by Jews during the Holocaust, confined to horse stalls and sleeping on wooden shelves never intended for humans.

The phrase “never again” lost its meaning shortly after World War II, as the world witnesses a disturbing repetition of past atrocities. Despite solemn vows, the world’s involvement in supplying arms only exacerbates the suffering of the oppressed. It serves as a stark reminder that complacency and inaction pave the way for history to repeat itself.

it's very disheartening to see that Palestine or Gaza is no longer the highest trending tag on Tumblr so early on in Global Strike week, especially considering how many people have said they still need to work and buy food (100% valid, by the way). don't lose momentum. keep talking about what's happening. keep reblogging and sharing useful resources and information. we need the Palestinian people to know that we see what's happening to them, we care about what's happening to them and we stand with them. Percy Jackson and Tumblr Live are no where near as important as the genocide of Palestinian people.

RYAN GOSLING "I'm Just Ken" wins Best Original Song at the 29th Annual Critics' Choice Awards (January 14, 2024)

Llloooollll everybody in my life: did you see Taylor swift and Travis?!?!

Me: yes, very performative and pointed!

Everybody else: she finally getting married woop

Me: LISTEN to an entire cd all the way through. Just one, one time. ☝🏼 one cd, all the way through, one time. Then we can discuss.

Oh FFS 🤦🏼‍♀️

Everyone going gaga over the mic’d up clip…..

Guys it’s literally created and posted BY the NFL……this wasn’t some random reporter capturing a private moment…..it was an orchestrated PR performance!!

They’ve got it pinned to the top of their TikTok feed, they’ve commented on it to promote more mic’d up coverage. IT IS PR!!!!!! It is staged! It was planned! They KNOW the world is watching and listening! They’re PERFORMING!

Humans for the win

watched this for the first time when i was 14 i think? it saved me

Burn it down

Anti-hero in the house.

This is so reminiscent of when me and my gay bestie got too drunk and tried making out 🫠

TAYLOR SWIFT & TRAVIS KELCE singing "Love Story" at the Chiefs Super Bowl afterparty (Feb 12, 2024)

In Bejeweled music video, Pat McGrath is the Queen and judges the contest.

Pat McGrath is Taylor’s make-up artist. Thus: The Queen of Make-Up, or…the Queen of Make Believe.

She picks the performer with the best make-believe story as the winner of the contest!

Taylor learns her winning performance with Dita Von Teese - the Queen of Burlesque.

Burlesque definition: an absurd or comically exaggerated imitation of something, especially in a literary or dramatic work; a parody.

Hmmm…An absurdly or comically exaggerated imitation of something 🤔 Such as the Taylor Travis spectacle, maybe?

Fabricating her own demise at the moment…or genuinely happy in the ultimate masculine football fantasy??

It’s interesting to me how the interpretations of Ms. Swift are so much better deduced by people who hear her songs on the radio, or whatever, (you get me), versus my own ones…a longtime fan and genuine supporter for almost two decades; one who has studied and like - lip synced the absolute shit out of EVERY SINGLE SONG in this woman’s discography since 2008 and analyzed her PR game like a game of mother fucking scrabble…

Tree would shut any of this homosexuality shit down in a sec if a shred of it wasn’t true.

C’mon. Like nooooooo famous celebrity in the history of Hollywood or music industry was gay?!?!?! 🙉 When I propose the idea that T Swizzle could be a right queer, the normals shut it down immediately - these are people who don’t even “like” her or her music! 😂 They’re like, “Taylor Swift isn’t that good” I’m like - check it out from a queer perspective they’re like wow, that’s pretty fucked up if you look how many dudes she has been with I can’t believe you would think that about Taylor Swift I don’t appreciate her talent and have never listened to an album the whole way through but I will defend her heterosexuality till the end, man.

😅😅

I mean EVERYONE in drama class was queer. Like all of us lol. But somehow only the STRAIGHT PEOPLE had the drive to pursue their dreams and become successful entertainers?!? 😅 looool. No man; the straight kids were home playing house pretending happiness; the atypicals were out MAKING THE WORLD HAPPEN.

No man. They beard with each other. Did you SEE the latest promos of our girl and flamy football dude? 😜😜

For all my fellow Gaylors/Kaylors out there still holding on through these difficult, lonely, and uncertain times…

Whenever you feel doubt creeping in, just remember back to

that time it took three people to open a door

Everything you need to know : Failed Coming Out 2019

This is an answer to an anon I've received.

I typed it all and Tumblr said there was an error when I went and tried to published it. So I had to type it all again but lost the anon....

Here's the question: could you tell me more about her wanting to come out in 2019? sorry for asking again I'm new on the fandom!

Hi!

It will be my pleasure! This is such an important part of the Gaylor Lore to know and understand, especially when you are new in the fandom.

This theory has been confirmed, but we'll get to it in a minute.

Also, I'm so sorry because learning about what went down during Lover Era is a transformative experiece in the Gaylor fandom, in a very heartbreaking way.

So back in 2019 Taylor wanted to come out with the Lover Era.

June 30th during the New York City Pride wich was also the Stonewall's 50th anniversary, was supposed to be the day it happened.

This date might be familiar to you, because it's the date we learned at the same time as Taylor about her masters being sold to Scooter Braun.

So let's start at the begining of all of this. I won't go through ALL the details because my post will never end. But I'll cover the most important ones.

Right at the begining of the year, insiders were already talking about the fact that Taylor was planing to come out that year in podcasts and blind items.

Then in March 6th (Karlie and Taylor's anniversary)

Taylor does a post hinting at this new era. The very first lyrics we get (We got hints at ME back in February):

Daylight the song is about Karlie. But this line specifically means coming out.

Stepping into the daylight, and letting everyone see the real you.

(Also worth noting the lesbian filter)

Taylor started being really loud in the posts she made from now on. Flagging rainbow, lesbian and bi colors every chances she got.

And flagging Butterflies. Wich is very important thematically in Lover and coming out.

Side note on the Butterfly meaning:

Remembre how in reputation, snake was a really important theme?

And how in Lover it switched to butterflies?

More specifically it switched to Snakes transforming into butterflies?

There's a species of butterflies, that when they are in the chrysalid phase of their transformation into a butterfly, can look like a snake if they feel unsafe or attacked in order to protect themselves.

Then, after the average 13 days waiting period, they transforms into a beautiful butterfly.

Basically what Taylor was doing, protecting herself during reputation with that "personna" like she described.

And now, she was ready to finally transforms and have a new beginning.

Here's a description of what butterflies means:

A powerful beacon of growth and new beginnings, the butterfly signifies the power of transformation and the incredible feats we can achieve when we trust ourselves. We all have the ability to listen to our innate wisdom, guide ourselves through difficult times, and emerge better and stronger than before.

The ME! of it all:

Ok back into the Lover Era timeline!

So all those rainbow posts were leading up to the first single: ME!

Even Taylor Nation was pretty loud about this (number of rainbows = number of days leading to ME! release):

3 days before ME! release, Taylor performs at the Time 100 Gala and it's the first and only time she switched so very clearly pronouns in the song, multiple times:

She sings repeatedly : I want HER midnights

And she even seems to be getting more and more confortable as the song goes on and singing it louder and louder.

She also looks at the crowd while singing it.

Then she releases ME!

That was really the first part of her coming out.

And honnestly, she shouldn't have had to do more than this.

ME! was released on April 26th.

April 26th in 2019 was Lesbian Visibility Day.

And she captionned the release with: ME! Out Now!

A song about how she is unique as a Lover...

That is without mentioning the amount of rainbows everywhere in that MV as well as other references.

Worth noting that in 2019 Lil NasX came out in a MV with the rainbow tower and was annoyed that people didn't get it?

Taylor also probably deadass thought that she made it obvious:

May & June 2019 leading up to the big coming out:

Taylor continues to be as loud as she can.

She makes a very generous donation to GLAAD:

She sings ME! every chances she gets, while flagging the Lesbian Flag.

Taylor Nation also keeps on being really loud:

And releases a song and music video about homophobia and includes herself front and centered in the LGBTQ+ community (represented by the Trailer park, note how Ryan Reynolds, the only straight person in the MV is outside of this park, not in it like Taylor).

With a bi flag wig...

So yeah, she was trying really hard to make people see her.

Christian Siriano and the dress...

Back in April, we learned that Christian Siriano (a fashion designer) was working on a project for Taylor:

In June, he started teasing us about a mistery rainbow dress for an unnknown person:

It was heavily rumored that it would be the dress used by Taylor to come out at the end of Pride Month.

He kind of confirmed it with this post:

Then. June 30th.

The New York City Pride.

Taylor planned to come out at the event.

Employees on site, starts to be warned about this (you can find some comments online).

Taylor learns at the same time as us that her masters were sold to Scooter Braun.

She never makes it to Pride.

And Billy Porter ends up wearing the dress:

But. You can see that the dress was not meant to be worn by him. It doesn't fit well and the "nude" parts shows that it was meant to be worn by a white person.

In 2022, Christian confirmed it by dueting a TikTok talking specifically about this.

He deleted it right after but you can still find it on TikTok: (X)

Last minutes changes to Lover:

We now know that Taylor scrapped two songs from Lover: All Of The Girls You Loved Before and Need.

All Of The Girls is really loud and very clearly talks about a girl. Wich Taylor couldn't afford if she didn't want to/couldn't come out.

London Boy was actually written and added really last minute to the album.

Really interesting, because this is her loudest song about her loving boyfriend. Wich is a brilliant thing to do if you want to limit the public speculation after all the flagging that you did...

We know it was last minute, because Taylor sampled it on Cold War from Cautious Clay. (X)

He was called in the middle of the night and had to approve the sample right away.

Interesting fact: Cold War was featured in Book Smart, a movie Taylor promoted that year.

The song plays during a lesbian sex scene...

The intro to London Boy is actually Idris Elba in a interview where he was talking about a charity where he sold a date with him.

You know, people paid to date him...

The shift in the Lover Era:

After this, you can start to see a shift. Where it was colorful sequin and rainbows everywhere with colorful choreography.

She now dresses in black, is incredibly sad and sings mostly accousting song.

Like her BBC 1 performance or Lover In Paris:

Miss Americana:

Miss Americana was supposed to be her coming out documentary.

It has been confirmed by the director of the project that a lot of footage has been scrapped.

Also, the documentary was supposed to be called : Is It Cool That I Said All That?

This is why the documentary sometimes feels like something is missing and some parts are rushed.

They tried to switch her coming out approach by making it her political activism era.

Taylor confirms it in Anti-Hero MV:

She's pierced through the heart by The Archer.

Her queerness starts showing (she's bleeding lavender glitters).

She tries to cover it up by taking the table cloth.

Her wanting to cover it spoils the dinner for everyone and they leave her.

And while she sings : "Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism, Like some kind of congressman?"

She covers her queerness with a sticker : Vote For Me, For Everything

Confirming that the political activism during Lover Era and mostly Miss Americana was in fact really to cover the fact that she was already one foot out of the closet when they had to backtrack.

With this. Take a look at the closing scene of Miss Americana. When The Archer is playing in the background.

It's a montage of Taylor talking to someone and Taylor on the release night of Lover.

Look at what Taylor says...

Queerbaiting Backlash:

This might be the worse part in my opinion.

Since she was flagging so hard to come out.

Sadly, most people didn't get that that was exactly what she was trying to do.

And medias massively accused her of queerbaiting.

And using the queer community.

I'm still so mad and heartbroken about this....

reusing an old Twitter post...

Even queer fans...:

Frankly, speculating about her sexuality would have been way less damaging than this...

Songs about this event:

Taylor wrote a lot about this failed coming out.

The Archer, was her song about her anxiety about coming out. And begging her fans to stay.

I'm not gonna do a full lyrics analysis because this post is already a novel.

But read those lyrics with that in mind and you'll see how loud it is, and heartbreaking.

"I've got a hundred thrown out speeches I almost said to you"

Also. Worth noting that after Lover was released and she was not able to come out, she switched one lyric in that song.

Instead of "Combat, I'm ready for combat" singular (coming out was the combat she was ready to face)

She now sings every time "Combats, I'm ready for Combats", because coming out has turned into multiple battles that she has to face now...

Hoax:

Noticed how she says that all of her heroes die all alone in The Archer?

Her fear that if she comes out, all her fans would leave.

In Hoax she says: "You know the hero died so what's the point of keeping score movie for?"

Because with her Master Heist and everything, she was not able to be one of those heroes herself... The hero that she wanted to be died in that moment because she was unable to come out.

Edit: I messed up the lyrics. But it's even more telling. Because the movie she's talking about is Miss Americana, once she was unable to come out.

Evermore:

This song is litteraly her looking back at what happened and how she managed to process everything and ultimatly heal even though it felt at the start like she would never be able to.

"I've been down since July" - June 30th = failed coming out

"Motion capture, put me in a bad light" - Queerbaiting allegations. And Miss Americana being rebranded.

"Writting letters, adressed to the fire" - Her hundred thrown out speeches that she almost said.

"I rewind the tape, but all it does is pause, on the very moment all was lost" - June 30th...

"Sending signals, to be double crossed" - Her flagging strongly on her way to come out, only to be accused of queerbaiting.

Right Where You Left Me:

The restaurant is a metaphor for the closet.

"Sitting in a corner I haunt, cross legged in the dim light"

Doesn't really feel like a restaurant, but her hiding in the closet.

"I swear, you could hear a hairpin drop. Right when I felt the moment stopped"

Droping hairpins is giving hints that you are gay.

She was doing this very loudly right before she was kept from coming out.

"Dust collected on my pinned up hair"

Her hair are still pinned up because she was not able to come out. And dust collected over time that she spent forced in the closet.

Anti-Hero:

AH is really The Archer 2.0, and talks about the same fear of coming out and being abandonned.

The fact that she decided to depict herself as the Anti-Hero is both really interesting and heartbreaking.

Because to her, the hero was the version of herself that was able to come out...

Listen to Change in the perspective of being able to come out and change the face of the industry:

"Tonight we'll stand, get off our knees

Fight for what we've worked for all these years

And the battle was long, it's the fight of our lives

But we'll stand up champions tonight"

They were the Champions.

Side note: she sang this song at the ACMA in 2010, two weeks before Chely Wright's coming out.

When we know that she has knowed and worked with Chely since about 2007.

Then Taylor wrote Long Live one month after Chely Wright's coming out.

Listen to the song with the same perspective as Change now.

"You held your head like a hero, on a history book page"

Chely Wright came out in May 2010. Taylor wrote Long Live in June 2010.

Look at the parallels of both songs.

And now, look at her choice to name that song Anti-Hero after everything that hapenned....

She also wrote Long Story Short and The Great War about that event, but this is for another post and it's about how this event affected her relationship with Karlie.

How she thought she was betrayed but ultimately found out it was not the case.

And how they both made it through.

Ok, I'm exhausted lol.

Sorry for writting a novel.

But this is such an important part of Taylor's history and I really wanted to do it justice (hope I was able to).

If you are still reading...Thank you for your question!

Midnight album cover is her sparking a lighter - getting ready to burn it down…she gave us a heads up for what’s to come.

The breakup was obvious from the album and timing, Joe the Beard did his work and can be let go now as she moves into the next phase.

I see this PR strategy with Matty as the next step in this era. It almost feels to me like when Miley went wild to shatter her association with Hannah Montana.

Is Taylor stepping out with Matty akin to this…a clear message to the fans that she’s not concerned about their opinions as she once was, by “dating” someone as controversial as Matty?? Is Taylor stunting with Matty the equivalent of Miley’s beige clad ass disaster of a twerk??

After all - Midnight is the technical end of the day, or - the end of the era. Al the clock imagery…time’s up on the former TS brand???

I say, this is just the beginning.

I’m somewhat surprised Matty’s involved, but leads me to believe they are scheming something BIG.

They’ve been baiting us. There are parallels in their work for years (Paris and Paris, Happiness and Happiness). Recently, Being Funny in a Foreign Language and Midnight came out SAME month. Both have seventies motifs - I noticed the similarities instantly. And then of course, the 02 performance in London.

What’s going on here?? Secret best friends with vigilante plans?? Or, are they truly in love? I’ve wondered for years if they’ve secretly been together, that the bearding was for them and not actually Karlie.

What are the two genius pop stars up to?

Let’s wait and watch and look for the clues. My Tatty instincts say things are about to get fun.

And my guess - this stunt lasts a few months at best. Taylor is knowingly tarnishing her reputation by letting herself be seen with Matty. Let the public slander her for that, and when there’s a messy breakup around the end of summer…

Maybe she’s setting the stage for an undoing of the brand she’s built in the last 20 years 🤔🤔

Who really knows, probably not even our girl. 🤡

I do hope Tay’s team is looking after Joe rn

Never a dull moment and I’m here for it 🤗❤️

reblog if your name isn't Amanda.

2,121,566 people are not Amanda and counting!

We’ll find you Amanda.

I don’t understand why people are upset with JK Rowling, like why does anyone take her opinions about gender identity seriously? she is uneducated, not an intellect in any way, she writes make believe stories for CHILDREN about magic and other made up shit. She is not intelligent and doesn’t deserve the kind of attention and consideration she’s got on these issues she’s chosen to wage war against. Leave it alone JK, stick to writing your make believe and keep your head out of affairs that concerns actual humans!

So, let me get this straight… since mid July, we’ve gotten:

Karlie in Paris with the caption “it’s always golden hour in Paris” (with red, golden and black & white in the photo set)

Taylor Nation posting a playlist that included “Daylight live in Paris” while Karlie was still in Paris

Karlie’s Klossette game pop-up lasting 13 days..

Taylor performing Love Story live on stage 13 days before Karlie’s birthday

Karlie’s Klossette game included moments of sunflowers and daisies together

Karlie’s character with double braids in her hair

Taylor wearing a dress covered in daisies… with double braids in her hair

Coming into a fandom late

Hello, I made a thing instead of, you guessed it, writing

As you may be aware we had to close our DMs due to the uncontrolled abuse we were receiving. I am so sorry to all the survivors seeking help and solace in our DMs, but the death threats were escalating in violence and descriptiveness so we needed to close it for our own wellbeing.

I want to start by saying I am so sorry. I am so sorry to all the survivors who now feel completely helpless after this verdict. I am sorry to the victims who now feel they can't speak up about their abuse for fear of legal reprisal. I am so sorry to the silent victims who now feel like they won't be believed. I believe you.

This may be a dark thought, but one thing I want to make clear: please, do not hurt yourself or do anything you can't take back. I know it may seem like there is no hope, but we have no idea how this is going to turn out. She can appeal. Any settlement will be paid by her insurance, not by her directly. If anything, this gross miscarriage of justice and clear violation of freedom of speech could trigger a big legal reprisal and there may be organisations willing to represent her pro bono. I have already seen lots of prominent feminists and domestic violence organisations condemn the verdict, and the collective outrage could trigger real change.

All of us are worried about Amber's wellbeing. Thankfully she has a beautiful baby daughter to love and an incredibly tight network of friends and family that support her through everything.

I would also like to thank all of the people who have supported this blog -- allies, survivors, feminists, male victims, ex-Depp fans. We will get through this together and we won't stop fighting until Amber gets justice.

💜
