What's so funny to me is for all the people who decided to gloat over Taylor not winning last night, on some weird high horse about it and needlessly pitting women against each other once again, Taylor herself was on her feet before anyone else, wholeheartedly celebrating the winner.
#taylor swift#golden globes#golden globes 2024#this is why i say the only criticism of her with any nuance and depth comes from swifties#because swifties are the only ones not frothing at the mouth to see a successful woman get knocked down a peg#it really is 1989 era all over again#she got so successful that it started to look like real power and people could not handle that#and yes there are legitimate criticisms but they're never the focus with this shit#just a thin veneer stretched over the seething misogyny underneath#and it ALWAYS shows in the tactics used. every. single. time.#and this treatment isn't even unique to taylor#it happens every time a woman starts to get a little too powerful for people to handle#the difference is taylor has managed to get back up from the initial squash to become bigger than ever#so the backlash gets bigger as well#consider: if you're a grown-ass adult and taylor swift is the first celebrity you've ever hated#for having a private jet or whatever else#you are not the mighty bastion of righteous leftist indignation you think you are worstie#a LOT of celebrities have and regularly use private jets#a lot of celebrities wear more money than you make in a year in jewelry on awards nights#a lot of celebrities get praised FAR MORE to do a LOT LESS to speak out about social issues than taylor has done#a lot of celebrities make an obscene amount of money (though NOT a lot provide insurance & 100k+ bonuses to the ppl who work for them)#how celebrity is treated and positioned in our culture is FUCKED UP. and that's a valid criticism to make!#it'd even be fair to say taylor is just the pinnacle example because she's gotten SO famous#but y'all don't actually care about any of that#you just want it to be taylorswiftisoverparty 2: electric boogaloo#and you'll latch onto anything that makes you feel justified for that#respectfully: get a fucking grip

He won’t “blow up” to like anywhere near what people imagine. He’ll just be the thirst flavor of summer 2022. // I mean idk what people are expecting, but in my opinion it isn't that crazy to think that he is probs going to receive the Paul Mescal treatment (I know he is not the lead and Alison is, but you know like people love a white man and a hetty couple. And he is already more known than Paul was before NP, like I would say that a lot of people know who he is already but feel indifferent towards him)
Yeah I mean that’s what I’m expecting too but I don’t see how that would change anything for them. Like he knows what fame entails, he’s actually hyping people for it with his thirst traps, like he’s ready. What could possibly change? He’ll have thirsters so his fandom will change lmao like there’ll be more Tay antis who want him or just hate her and that’ll piss Swifties off but he’s not gonna engage with his fandom and actors rarely do or are expected to really. He’ll probs have bigger projects but it’s unlikely he’ll be busier because he’s already overbooked, he’ll just be making more money and getting more attention/acclaim. It’ll be harder for him to do stuff even on his own like going to Tesco but it won’t come as a shock to him like it did for Paul. I just don’t know what would change.
Mr Taylor Swift is uniquely primed to be the internet’s boyfriend.

Not saying it's true or isn't but for the Johnny thing, don't a lot of people feed those they're close to? I've seen a lot of idols share food with staff and I don't see what the big deal is. fttm0 is really asking for a slap, I don't even wanna be nice because someone like her does not deserve any kindness. Especially the amount of torment she's put YY and LC through. I don't know if this is from fttm0 or another ssng, but there was a photo of Taeil allegedly smoking but they put a huge emoji to cover something up and you can't really see Taeil fully or what he's actually holding. A lot of people think he's holding his phone and put it on speaker. That already makes that pic look suspicious and screams manipulation. The problem is that this photo was taken and edited to make it look incriminating(?)–not the word I'm looking for but the only one I can think of. I really can't fathom how former ssngs confess how they were normal before and grew obsessed. Like no, honestly I don't believe that. If that were true, then almost all fans would be this obsessed. These people have been bored since the beginning have since found an outlet to dim their boredom in fandom. They need fucking therapy and/or a nice orange jumpsuit. I'm sick and tired of these self proclaimed fans who are notorious for lying to defame their "faves". Ssngs are not fans. Not at all. They are parasites because once they get bored of that idol, they will move onto another to torment because they are simply bored. I fucking hate these people.
I agree 100% with everything you said. I just wish with everything in my soul that ppl would stop supporting these sasang, bc let’s be honest, if their stalking photos didn’t get thousands of likes and ppl didn’t eat up all the private info they drop (flight schedules, hotel bookings, etc) they would just get bored and do something else.
It’s no wonder these fake accusations and manipulated photos are treated as the truth only when it aligns with someone’s personal prejudices.
Why is it so hard to believe real fans are skeptical of accusations when Photoshop and Deepfakes exist? We seriously can’t just treat everything at face value just bc our moral instinct is always to trust the accuser. It’s innocent until to proven guilty in America for a reason. Because ppl weaponize anything they can against those they hate. It’s the sad reality of the world we live in now. It doesn’t make you morally superior in a court case if you always believed the accuser from the beginning. It just makes you subjective.
We have a serious issue in many countries where idols personal lives are treated as public entertainment. It’s not okay to harass and follow someone when they’re not working. That’s their private time to rest, even in public. And YES I understand how celebrities expect this kind of treatment, but what kind of career is one where your fans would literally try to rip the hair off your head to sell on Etsy later? (I’m referring to a Nicki Minaj incident) where you sign an autograph and it gets sold? Or you give someone something special you performed with and see it for sale later? Wouldn’t every interaction feel like a money grab? It would be extremely hard to feel a connection with fans when you don’t know who is genuine.
I saw someone got sent a misprinted version of Taylor’s new vinyl album and the comments were FULL of people saying to sell it for 8x the price she bought it for. Like why is that your first thought? You received something rare that makes you a unique fan, and ppls first thoughts were money?
Idk, there’s just something about fan culture that has gone so wrong. At least on tumblr, I remember YEARS ago that ppl refused to share paparazzi pics and anything leaked from a celebs personal life. But now not only are pap pics acceptable, but fansites photos run by sasang are as well?
I pray ppl start standing up for these idols before we lose any more of them.

Oh, @good-night-dodger I have some thoughts. Many thoughts, in fact. Thank you for tagging me in this, btw <3
Firstly, j’accuse re: leaving off the Alice and Olivia Crown sweater. Like so many things about Betty Cooper, it is  i c o n i c  on the show. Rude.
Secondly, j’accuse again re: the Rebecca Taylor polka dot sweater from 4x07 (and even more so imo, the short sleeved white with black polka dot one from 3x09. I’m upset.) 
Caveat: Going off their reasoning for these choices, I don’t think this person has actually ever watched Riverdale and if they did we absolutely watched two different shows. 
Putting this under a cut should folks not want to read my ramblings about Betty Cooper’s knitwear. 
Shoutout to the ever wonderful @bettycooperoutfitwatch for the episode references!
Other important things to note about this article. Let’s go by their rankings:
10/ Strong and White (really? plz, word choices are more important than ever)
“Her hair pulled back further makes the look scream innocent teenager who is pining for her long-time best friend and neighbor Archie Andrews. But while the sweater is cute, and one of her best, it's not as good as others Betty has worn.”
This is referring to light pink sweater with the lace collar that Betty wears in 1x11 when she is absolutely not in the process of pining for Archie. This is when she first admits out loud (also in front of Alice) that she is in love with Jughead and he is her family. Keep wishing, author person. 
9/ White Ribbed Sweater
1x04 is the episode where Betty interrogates Grundy for the first time. The sweater is not white but grey. A far superior option from this episode imo is the light pink Artizia Wolter sweater (y’all know how I feel about this one; it’s special)
8/ Turtleneck and Jacket Combo
This combo from 4x13 is not decidedly not a sweater? Fairly certain and @riverdaleclothing can confirm that the she’s wearing the Aritizia Freshman turtleneck which I own in several colors and do not consider a sweater. 
7/ Happy Holidays 
The person who wrote this might have some issues with identifying certain colors? (no shade, but as I read I grew more confused) They reference the holiday colors red, white and green in the sweater from but that is clearly blue? 2x19 is not a holiday episode. 
6/ Grandma’s Doilies 
I--I’m just going to leave you with their blurb: 
“The solid-colored, high round neck brings it together while the slightly puffy shoulders scream '80s working girl. It's one of Betty's more fun looks, which makes it worth adding to the list. But there are some dark undertones: while the color isn't exactly blood red, the pattern kind of does resemble splatters of blood, a nod to Betty's dark side and worry that she might possess the serial killer gene.”
5/ Horizontal stripes
It’s a nice sweater, but there are far more interesting, unique and superior knits our girl has worn over the seasons. What grates me again, the writing: 
“The best way to describe this sweater is pretty, a stark contrast to some of the terrible things Betty has done to people, including her own mother Alice.” 
Honey, we need to have words about Alice Cooper and her treatment of Betty. 
4/ Pretty in Pink V-Neck
I don’t completely disagree with this one from 4x10. The color is lovely! 
3/ Salmon Pink with Collar 
Full disclosure, I own this sweater from 2x10 in grey and it’s not cashmere. It’s nice, I like it, but I much prefer the Ted Baker magenta collared sweater from 2x17. 
2/ Baby Blue
We love a boatneck! Ms. Reinhart has some of the most envious décolletage out there. 
1/ Playful Plaid
I know this is from 4x18, but season four ended with 4x16 for me and I refuse to acknowledge this as a choice in this list. The fact that it’s their number with this statement:
“Another one of Betty's more playful looks, this plaid sweater offers a perfect balance between fun and seriousness.”
And yet they completely left off her Dinosaur from 4x06 and the duck sweater from 2x15, pffft. 
TLDR; there are far better choices of Betty Cooper knitwear to choose from than what’s on this list. 
I need the experts' opinion on this important topic. I feel like they missed some memorable ones, including the sweater with multicolored polka dots that Betty wore in season 4 and, of course, the crown sweater. I’m curious to know your thoughts @bettsc and @bettycooperoutfitwatch.

3 Common Reasons Why Your Nootropic Supplements Isn't Working (And How To Fix It)
If there existed an innocuous drug that may transform your cognitive talents and functionality, would you are taking it?
Traditionally, humans have often spoken of a condition of becoming outside of the human opportunity; a handful of examples are immortality, superhu­man energy, omnipotence, and psychic power. Currently, shelves on drug retailers abound with tablets, drinks, and tonics that purportedly strengthen IQ, memory, endurance, alertness, and mental emphasis. Amplified prevalence of “cosmetic neurology,” the off-label and non-prescription utilization of medicine to enhance effectiveness as opposed to to take care of an present affliction, has caught the eye from the media as well as the scientific Group (Chat­terjee, 2004.) Particularly, “nootropics,” smart drugs made use of to reinforce cognitive general performance and abilities, current a divisive issue for both researchers and the general public sector (Farah et al., 2004; Racine & Forlini, 2008; Greely et al., 2008; Fukuyama, 2002; Cakic, 2009; Turner, 2002; McCabe, 2005.) New experiments show an increased prevalence of nootropics on higher education campuses to improve academic efficiency (McCabe, 2005; Diller, 1996.) Though only four-7% of US higher education pupils are diagnosed with focus deficit hyperactive problem (ADHD) applying DSM IV criteria, as much as 25% of school pupils with a specified campus noted having utilized stimulants designed for ADHD inside the preceding yr (Weyandt, 2006; Mc­Cabe, 2005; Teter, 2006.) Staggering figures regarding academic doping has initiated a Nootropic Supplements furious work by scientists, ethicists, professional medical practitioners, and The federal government to debate probable ethical implications of cognitive enhancements and long run directions. For future policymakers to deal with this concern, this paper will lay a preliminary ethical framework for consid­ering foreseeable future nootropic regulation. The concerns talked about In this particular paper are not novel because they utilize in several elements to other pharmacologi­cal or non-pharmacological substances that may change general performance and leverage an unfair advantage concerning groups of individuals. Even so, these problems coalesce within a novel way with regard to using noot­ropics simply because their outcomes could also change the human brain, a consecrated A part of the human existence. Four salient moral concerns elevated by using nootropics that are sometimes tackled with reference to health care allocation are going to be talked about: 1) security, two) distributive justice, 3) coercion, and four) personhood.
As the field stands, the drug most frequently utilized for non-professional medical uses is methylphenidate (Ritalin). Methylphenidate is often a stimulant utilised to deal with ADHD in Grownups and kids and continues to be proven to boost notice, focus, spatial Doing work memory, and execu­tive planning (Solanto, 1998; Pary, 2002; Weber, 2002.) The results of methylphenidates are thought to be modulated through the catechol­amine procedure (Solanto, 1998.) Modafinil (Provigil), a drug made for your cure of narcolepsy with an identical clinical profile to methylphe­nidate, has also been demonstrated to get successful inside the treatment method of ADHD (Taylor & Russo, 2000.) Regardless of particular similarities to methylphenidate, modafinil won't act throughout the catecholamine pathway, although the correct mechanism is unfamiliar (Ferraro, 1996; 1997.) Other experiments have proven that this drug also enhances arousal, improves alertness, and improves sustained interest in rest deprived topics (Lagarde, 1995; Caldwell, 2000; Dodds et al., 2009.) The aforementioned improvements were being noticed in persons with ADHD, a demonstrated neurological ailment, which might benefit from pharmaceutical therapy to revive the brain to typical functioning. In balanced people today, results are inconclusive in regards to the benefits of methylphenidate and modafinil; in general the outcome have demonstrated selective conditional enhancements (Turner, 2002; Agay, 2010.) While these drugs usually do not incontrovertibly enrich cognitive effectiveness, they pose a singular ethical quandary that hasn't been addressed by medical professionals and scientists. Which is, what need to we, like a Modern society, do with regard to cognitive enhancements?
What exactly is the goal of medication?
This question lies at the heart of The difficulty of cognitive enhancements. Arguably, the answer could possibly be to Enhance the quality of life for sufferers or to deal with diseases. 1 see argues that the purpose of drugs is to improve the Standard of living with the patients by curing their ailments and returning them to some condition where they subjectively felt improved, and therein lays the trouble. Chatterjee discusses the dissonance be­tween the perspectives of professional medical practitioners as well as their sufferers on The difficulty of Standard of living (2004.) While the main focus of allopathic medicine has been to deal with and treatment disorders, procedure of ailment signs isn't going to necessary Increase the Standard of living for clients. It may be said that for sufferers with incurable ailments, it would be much more beneficial to enhance their Standard of living in place of concentrating on person indicators from the usage of prescription drugs. One example is, in Parkinson’s disorder, remedy applying dopamine agonists can in fact induce negative Unintended effects for example nausea, vomiting, psychosis, and dyskinesia (Schrag, 2000; Chapuis, 2005.) The advantages obtained from alleviating Parkinson’s signs or symptoms In this instance may very well be overshadowed with the adverse Unwanted side effects from the medica­tion, As a result even further lowering the quality of life with the individual.
Assuming that the goal of drugs is to enhance Standard of living for sufferers, we then achieve yet another ethical quandary. Who is a affected individual? Need to only those people who are ill be permitted use of medicine or really should all individuals be suitable for clinical support. More, should really ailment be described as a psychological, biological, behavioral ailment or some combi­nation of Those people components? If just one were to mention that medical solutions ought to be limited to the ill, then there can be no want for preventive treatment, given that those persons aren't still sick. In mild of the fact that preventive treatment is definitely an integral A part of medicine, 1 must believe that every one folks, in spite of current well being status will have to qualify for professional medical care. Then, if improving the Standard of living for your diseased unique implies alleviat­ing bothersome adverse signs or symptoms, what would that signify for a wholesome unique? Would that suggest that transcending over and above the “normal” human affliction and maximizing baseline efficiency are inherent areas of drugs?
While the use for prescribed drugs for remedy of diseases is undisputedly supported by most people, using prescribed drugs for enhancements is a lot more controversial (Chatterjee, 2004; Racine & Forlini, 2008.) Perhaps a single explanation why the use of cognitive improve­ments is so contentious is as it alters the status quo with the human condition. Historically, individuals are already quite resistant to modify till a catalyst triggers an indisputable paradigmatic change. Till then, experts, ethicists, practitioners, and the general public will often be divided amongst unique camps of considered, Just about every working on different paradigms. As talked about by Racine and Forlini, the several paradigms include cogni­tive enhancements as being a effective inevitability of human advancement, cognitive enhancements as abuse of prescription drugs, and cognitive enhancements being a Way of life decision (2008.) Even within the realm of academia, there isn't a greatly acknowledged paradigm. Greely et al. along with other distinguished teachers strongly advocate the dependable usage of cogni­tive enhancements, defending its prospective benefits under correct regula­tion whilst practitioners like Additional reading Chatterjee and philosophers like Fukuyama disagree (Greely et al. 2008; Farah et al., 2004; Harris, 2009; Fukuyama, 2002; Chatterjee, 2009.) Fukuyama maintains in his book Our Post Hu­man Foreseeable future that “the initial reason of drugs would be to recover the Unwell, not convert healthy people into gods. (p.208, 2002)” So that you can shift closer into a unified and, far more importantly, informed plan final decision regulating the usage of cognitive improvement, it's important to contemplate the subsequent moral fears: protection, distributive justice, coercion, and personhood.
Are the advantages definitely worth the threat?
The initial moral concern that just one ought to take into account is the security on the client. In shielding the security of the individual, 1 have to evaluate the basic safety profile of your cognitive improvement in issue. Any time a individual is put on a drug, the medical doctor and affected person should carefully Appraise the equilibrium concerning the desired benefits as well as hazards. Clients usually prefer to consider medicine with major pitfalls since the opportunity Gains tend to be larger; an instance could be chemotherapeutic agents. Certainly, the advantages of drugs are heavily impacted through the disorder curing factor. Considering that cognitive enhancements in healthful individuals will not be meant to get rid of any unique ailments, the tolerance for pitfalls is severely lowered (Farah et al., 2004; Cakic, 2009; Butcher, 2003.) As a result, nootropic agents ought to be subjected to the identical, if not more stringent things to consider as other prescription drugs with reference to basic safety (Chatterjee, 2006.) Greely et al. and colleagues suggest accelerating the investigation approach to find out the system of action for many enhancements, to permit individuals and Medical practitioners to generate a totally educated choice that will improve gain and decrease harm (Greely et al., 2008.) Sure clinicians might think that any poten­tial threat into a healthful specific shouldn't be tolerated, Consequently, cognitive enhancements really should not be built accessible (Chatterjee, 2004; 2006.) Nonetheless, these clinicians would be remiss in denying patient autonomy. When entirely informed with the prospective challenges and benefits, a client has each ideal to make a decision for himself/herself the system of therapy (Quill & Brody, 1996.) As a result, the purpose of your clinicians and legislator will be a fantastic stability amongst factors for affected person protection and maintaining patient autonomy. Even though the individual tasks of clinicians and legislators are various, discussions has to be facilitated involving the two teams so as to access an optimal solution towards the regulation of cognitive enhancements. If cognitive enhancements pose undisputed and unavoidable threats to client safety, the clinicians and legislators are within their legal rights, and so are responsibility sure, to protect the patients from these kinds of substances. On the other hand, In the event the Unwanted effects are usually not harmful to Modern society in general along with the improvement wouldn't cause unavoidable damage, then the decision for use must be that on the affected individual’s. What constitutes so­cietal detriments can be determined by a collaboration concerning physi­cians and legislators, taking into account results on health and indi­viduals. Most significantly, as proposed by Greely et al. and colleagues, it is the part in the researchers to make certain that results of their scientific research are appropriately portrayed and employed to help educated conclusions (2008.)
Would enhancements offer equal Gains to all?
The second ethical worry is distributive justice. If cognitive enhancements were produced readily available, would The supply from the drugs The natural way show useful to some while disadvantaging Other individuals? As with all free-industry items, cognitive enhancements would conceivably advantage the wealthy over the economically disadvantaged. Much more­in excess of, if cognitive enhancements augment cognitive means past ordinary capacity, then the rich might have greater indicates and chance to attain these cognitive enhancements, monopolizing the industry on the new cognitive norm (Butcher, 2003.) With regard to employ of nootropics in an instructional location, just one could contend that nootropic use would create an uneven taking part in discipline, allowing people who can afford the enhancements to outperform individuals that can not. This would produce a cyclical impact on education and work disadvantaging individuals who would not have the suggests to reach the new norm in the end. Having said that, to convey the avail­skill of cognitive enhancements as free of charge-current market goods would produce a novel uneven field can be naïve. Disparities exist already when it comes to Organic and environmental incongruities concerning the socioeconomic courses (Farah, 2002.) Farah et al. argue that schooling is definitely an unequally dis­tributed cognitive enhancer that may be tolerated by society, thus, prohibiting the usage of cognitive enhancements around the grounds of unequal distribu­tion would be superfluous and hypocritical (2002; 2004; Butcher, 2003.) If everything, it might be easier to make sure the equal distribution of cognitive improvement than it really is to be certain equivalent schooling prospects a result of the point that there are several components contributing to education and learning inequalities (eg. location, economic prosperity, and so on…) (Butcher, 2003.)
Would cognitive enhancers indirectly bring about peer force to be used?
The 3rd moral concern is coercion. There are 2 forces of co­ercion: implicit desire to keep up the status quo, and express calls for to satisfy and exceed pre-identified expectations (Chatterjee, 2004.) Numerous worry that if cognitive enhancements were being manufactured available, then individuals who selected not make use of them could well be implicitly and explicitly coerced by their peers in an effort to continue to be aggressive. The extreme situation would be laws demanding utilization of cognitive enhancements for people do the job­ing in the general public sector to satisfy purchaser needs. An instance cited by Chatterjee is predicated on former findings of improved performances of pilots in crisis problem while using donezepil (Chatterjee, 2004; Yesavage, 2001.) Would the customers on the airlines be justified in demanding that all pilots be getting donezepil? Would this be ethical? Would buyers even have to have to make these types of needs since pilots may well then come to feel pressured to choose donezepil to create improve their attractiveness in The task marketplace? As right before, it would be ignorant to are convinced these forces of coercion usually do not exist in nowadays’s society. Experiments have demonstrated which the incidence of non-healthcare prescription stimulant use is bigger amongst US university students with lessen quality issue averages, suggesting that these learners now really feel pressured to make use of stimulants to maintain up with their friends while in the competitive educational natural environment (McCabe, 2005.) Cakic posits that in order for a student to experience implicitly coerced to make use of cogni­tive enhancements, two standards need to be met: 1) college students who use cogni­tive enhancements would've a definite edge above those that never, and 2) a appreciably superior portion of the scholar populace need to be utilizing cognitive enhancements (Cakic, 2009.) With out in depth empirical knowledge, It will be challenging to assess the coercive forces at play in today’s society, especially in academia in which cognitive enhancement use can be most commonplace. It would be hard to make a transparent policy conclusion depending on this issue alone.
Tumblr media
How will the user’s notion of self change?
The final moral thing to consider is personhood, or one particular’s perception of oneself. Understandably, critics are cautious of psychoactive substances and their probable influence on the notion of self. Further more, there is an argument that an integral Component of humanity, or relatively our notion of personhood, could be in danger if a person have been to employ cognitive enhancements (Butcher, 2003; Chatterjee, 2004; Wolpe, 2002.) By personhood, these critics are referring to your quintessential essence of human suffering; the extremely act of striving towards a purpose defines that personal’s identification as perceived by Other folks and their individual self-identity. Cognitive enhancements would provide shortcuts to people today, bypassing many of existence’s required and formative struggles, Therefore altering someone’s personhood and definition of self (Wolpe, 2002.) Wolpe refers to struggles including the late evening persevering to find out a different issue or ability (2002.) Obviously, the opposing viewpoints could assert that right now’s Modern society, Outfitted with perpetually switching technologies permits people today to redefine, rein­force, or simply rebuild their identities, and the usage of cognitive boost­ments would simply be built-in into These processes.
Are we Completely ready?
This paper discussed numerous crucial ethical dilemmas associated with The difficulty of cognitive enhancements. Although present-day medication applied While using the intention of enhancing cognitive skills have revealed minor to no signifi­cant advancements in healthful persons, it continues to be crucial to commence the BestNootropics.co investigative system by examining the validity of present and novel moral stances. Further, to be able to achieve a completely informed final decision that is in the top desire of Culture, there needs to be collaboration and communication involving scientists, practitioners, ethicists, legislators, and most people. First of all, experts and doctors should figure out the ramification of extended usage of cognitive enhancements on our brains, delineating the morphological, behavioral, and cognitive consequences. From these findings, It might be doable to evaluate the diploma of effects these enhancements can have on an individual And exactly how that affect will translate to society as a whole. Legislators and ethicists have to then interpret these effects and decide vital polices in conditions of producing and distribu­tion.
