I also believe Ladder covers have inspired previous Merch and the folklore shoot. The pink heart cover reminds me of the one Eras shirt, and the cover with a lesbian seated crosslegged in the grass is likely on the folklore mood board.

My latest: How Taylor Swift is an Unreliable Narrator. An introduction of sorts for people who are newer to interpreting her work or who have exclusively taken her as being 100% truthful in the past, but also good things to keep in mind for those of us who have been theorycrafting longer!

My video explaining how Taylor is an Unreliable Narrator will be up in like 20 minutes! This is a bit of a “Gaylor 101” level thing but I think it’s important for people to see, esp when there has been an increase in fans being suspicious of the “main narrative” now.

Trump is spending over $1 MILLION per day to have the National Guard harass homeless people. In contrast, providing housing to every homeless person in DC would cost ~ $255k. The solution to homelessness is housing and supports, not handcuffs and jails. buff.ly/pMYtwCE

Her Time Person of the Year photoshoot was very Katharine Hepburn-inspired. She was one who managed to not burn out young, to have a long life and career, despite how hard it was for women from her era to do so. Also famously a Sewing Circle member!

Yeah, once I realized that I liked music by men cause it was written about women and then started listening to sapphic music instead, I’ve been 90% listening to women or queer men who make explicitly queer music. I listen to my old emo/pop punk faves, Hozier & a lil Noah Kahan

I think we need to stop saying that people hate crime. They like punishment. There are clear ways to reduce crime that involve systemic investment in communities but we avoid doing that in favor of ever more militarized policing because too many people in power like punishment.

When I analyze Taylor’s work, I think a lot about how I was the first one from the college friend group who could afford trauma informed therapy and how I basically disseminated everything I learned to my friend group as soon as I learned it. Just feels like she’s doing the same.

6 years ago, Taylor Swift performed in the BBC1 Lounge to promote the #Lover album. In a black top covered with multi-color stars and sparkly pink boots, she performed Holy Ground, Lover, The Archer, London Boy, YNTCD, and her rendition of “Can’t Stop Loving You” by Phil Collins. 💘

The mayor of Baltimore drastically slashed crime despite close proximity to Virginia with its lax gun laws and it was a blip in the news cycle and then a return to the only way to stop crime is law and order. We are a cruel, punitive country with a national press that loves facism.

This is also a really good example of a queer woman posing versus a (probably) het woman posing. Tay is managing to show off her entire neck and toned arms. Brit is posing like a trophy wife's supposed to.

In light of the engagement, I don’t think we talk enough about all of the wedding dress imagery in TTPD. She announced it in a wedding dress. She shows herself locked up in an asylum in one where she’s being tortured. It also looks as though she’s created the look out of her bedsheets

It's interesting seeing how sexuality & repression are linked to the main character (played by Ingenue Catherine Deneuve) descending into worsening schizophrenia. Polanski is a GARBAGE human but its a surprisingly sympathetic betrayal & his ability to make the audience FEEL the character's plight.
Aerin Moriarty(they/them) (@aerinmoriarty.bsky.social) reply parent
It's from Polanski's Repulsion, which is broadly a film about sex & psychosis but idk if I wanna spoil it much more for people who haven't seen it. It's very interesting from a gender/sexuality perspective. Polanski was also a pedophile who was protected & awarded even after it became publicly known
