Taylor Swift sent me $3,000 which paid our rent for the first few months of the pandemic, started our mask-making business that saved my at risk mother from exposing herself to the virus, and allowed me to finish school/my novel. I dedicated my debut to her, it comes out in June.

The net worth comments annoy me too because if 100k is supposedly nothing to her, then the 3k she sent me to keep my family safe in 2020 was like a dropped penny. That money changed my life. I would not be here or a published author without that “useless” amount.

Extremely funny to see Taylor haters drafting thinkpieces about how the Spotify Pop-Up is proof that Taylor has no idea what she’s doing. They just see random dark academia props, because they don’t understand this was not made for them. They can’t comprehend it for some reason.

I have a genetic condition called neurofibromatosis and one of the symptoms is tumor growths on nerves. I once went to the ER and said I had one on my neck. Doc laughed and said it was a pimple but he’d remove it, a half hour later—scalpel in my neck—he admited it was a tumor.

I still have a scar and some residual nerve pain around that area because of how it was removed. Even when you know your own body, even when you have a proven medical history, you can still be ignored by REAL doctors. Self diagnosis helps you advocate. You need that regardless.

A normal (LOL) person sees all that and thinks “Okay, nice for a social media photo but not a big deal.” Swifties see confirmation that: 1) a popular fan theory is onto something, 2) lyricism will be less dance pop and more somber, 3) the album will discuss grief and lost hope.

Everyone says they want rich people paying their fair share of taxes and contributing financially to others less well off than them. Taylor does exactly that literally all the time and it’s somehow a new reason to be annoyed by her?

The installation is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do for Taylor’s core base and that’s rattling feathers in an interesting way. I think people expect Taylor to be trying to court/impress a wider array of people because she’s so culturally relevant and popular right now.

That’s not who she is. She clearly very much enjoys being liked, but she knows she can rely on Swifties so those are the only audience she caters to. Her fans have followed her from multiple genres and made her rerecords a history setting success. That’s not normal.

She likes making money, but she spent the beginning of the pandemic personally giving several fans $3,000 each to help them pay bills and stay safe during lockdown—before the government issued any stimulus at all. I know this because I was one. She embraces community relief.
The singer who just sold out AT&T Stadium for three nights votes for Democrats, and she wants you to as well. But she works and lives like someone who embraces the free market.

With mental health, something that can’t be proven right by literally cutting it open, patient advocacy is even more important. You shouldn’t let self-diagnosis be your end result and do nothing else, but advocating for your own mental wellness is never a bad thing.

Swifties are loyal, so she rewards them for that. She simply doesn’t need everyone’s approval or interest. Respecting her consistent base has grown her star to such heights that even if every casual fan stopped listening tomorrow, she’d still be extremely successful.

Poverty is all consuming. It makes you sabotage good things because you think losing them will be easier if it’s on your own terms. It makes you recklessly hungry, not just for food but for power and stability. You will accept things others won’t just for a life raft to float on.
u know sometimes it becomes glaringly obvious when authors are privileged all their lives by how they describe poverty in their books. and i think some need to take a step back and describe poverty other than being hungry and having no money

Request for help: They are keeping Padfoot at least overnight and the low estimate of the cost is $2400-$2600, which is literally a full month’s rent for us. That doesn’t include the $100 evaluation or any additional measures they might need to do. She’s never been alone before.
My little dog got into hot cocoa mix and I don’t know how much she ate or how long ago, but she’s not acting normal and I can’t stop crying. I called my mom and she’s calling her boss to see if she can leave work early but I’m so scared.
