On Swift Horses

A familiar story told in a way that does not trust the viewer to understand it.

Shriek of the Week: Swift

Street shriek
For many of us the most welcome sound we’re likely to hear over an urban street will be the high-flying squeal of the swift.

There’s something inherently uplifting about the call and flight of a Swift. So acrobatic and so evocative of spring and early summer. Always a plus if you’re lucky enough to catch one arcing in to take a drink from the surface of a lake, all whilst on the wing of course - precision flying at its best! M

I love swifts and am currently waiting impatiently for them to return to our street in Edinburgh! There are around four active nests near where we live and fingers crossed swifts will use our nest boxes this year....

We are obviously biased, because all we do is overanalyze Taylor's lyrics, but we loved this episode.

Lyrical hyper-specificity really came through on Brat too (not sure Charli was necessarily influenced by Taylor though)

Courage, clarity, integrity, truth embodied in this message and life of Mr. Ralph Nader. Thank you for your devotion to justice on behalf of everyone on this planet.

Hilarious!! And thank you for the work you did with Ralph Nader outlining the constitutional violations(14?) of Trump’s first term. Had the Democrats put together a panel of the finest constitutional scholars to explain in front of the whole country how he so flagrantly disregarded our laws, impeachment would have been the only sensible conclusion by Republicans and Democrats alike.


taylor swift is not your mother

the halo effect and stan twitter
the “halo effect” is a psychological bias where a positive impression of a person influences one’s overall perception of them. in “the age of magical overthinking,” amanda montell describes this as the “unconscious tendency to make positive assumptions about a person’s overall character based on our impressions of one single trait.”

Taylor Swift, ASMR, and me✨

Becoming a mother, one weird postpartum obsession at a time
Something really funny jumps out at me when I look back on my two postpartum periods—those hazy, time-warped, otherworldly months after my sons were born. Each one was defined by a completely unexpected, all-consuming obsession that hijacked my tired, foggy, hormone-drenched brain.

Thank you for taking us inside those obsessions, it felt so human.💖💖💖I was afraid to click on any ASMR links because they sounded so appealing and I am worried I might get deeply sucked in lol.

Taylor Swift & Sylvia Plath

exploring the intersection of my two personal literary icons
The only directly named (tortured) poet on The Tortured Poets Department is Dylan Thomas, referenced in the album’s self-mythologizing second track.

i thoroughly enjoyed this, as a taylor and sylvia fanatic, it was an absolute treat. beautifully written ! thank you for sharing !!!

Yes!!!! I love this! Sylvia plath and Taylor swift receive very similar criticism and it's hardly fair. I read a scathing review of tortured poets department in which the subtitle was "Sylvia plath didn't stick her head in the oven for this". I don't know what made me madder. This reviewers tone that she was "too feminist" for Taylor swift or reducing plath to her final moments and ignoring the beauty of her work. These ladies are both powerful writers and lighting rods for bad faith criticism.

Swoony Sunday Film Review: "On Swift Horses"

Daniel Minahan's new drama film is a beautiful and evocative--if at times overstretched--look at queer life and romance in postwar America.

My dysphoria is your fault

My gut and heart did somersaults reading this. My trans daughter has experienced repeated assaults this year in London -- in public -- no one coming to help. She's 6 foot and very visibly doesn't 'pass' and isn't aiming to -- she wants to be simply be herself like any human, not scrunched into any kind of box for someone else's prejudices. And for that she is in constant danger. It keeps me awake at night -- my 'child' is 38 and I still don't know what to tell her - and she's wise and not a child anyway. Sometimes the urge to say -- dress down, fit in, ditch the t-shirts and hats with slogans, the badges rises becasue I'm afraid for her -- but F*** -- why should she slink around in hiding? Why should she comply with notions that want her invisible? How much dysphoria can one body be expected to carry fon behalf of a messed up society that is fine with ecocide, genocide, lack of care for the elderly and ... (the endless list), but not fine with people simply being their glorious selves in every shade of humanity?
You are right -- dysphoria is put on you, projected by a messed up society that we all need to wake up to this.
Thank you for such an honest post.

I felt my heart hammering with you as I read your words, Robin. You shouldn't need to write this. None of us should be experiencing this layered checklist of questions and fears every day. But I'm grateful for your voice, whether it shakes or it's steady. I'm so grateful for YOU. Hugging you tight in my heart, Sib.

Her songwriting ability alone is completely indisputable! The woman knows how to turn a phrase, how to write like very, very, VERY few artists can, it’s genuinely remarkable. Her music feels like it’s poetry or a really good book with beautiful melody attached to it.
