to any americans who feel "paralyzed" and "dont know what to do" to help with gaza:

reading a fucking book. i beg of you.

in a time of knowledge suppression is it your duty to arm yourself with knowledge.

read about americas occupations in the middle east.

read about 9/11 from outside of america and see how they inflicted senseless harm and violence to countless amounts of people and have been suppressing your rights for the past 2 fucking decades.

read about any of the countless wars from the past 30 years. especially from a civilian's. and the victims and survivors' perspective. listen to the horror stories and do not plug your fucking ears as to what your country is doing.

and read about fucking gaza and palestine and keep up with what is happening no matter how "sad" or "uncountable" you might get.

dont look away from this.

you dont have the right to be comfortable during countless active genocides.

if you're knowledgeable, you're powerful, and our current state doesnt fucking want that.

you have the power to change things if you open your eyes and scream to the world.

wake the fuck up.

Edit: please check the reblogs there are readings and ways to help

i would kill for the confidence of novelists who write genius-poet characters and then actually write samples of the “genius” poetry in the book. if i were a novelist writing a genius-poet i’d just be like “trust me, the poetry’s real good.”

I think I want to talk about Taylor Swift on my main blog so badly because I trust and like a lot of people over there and I want them to understand that their vitriol toward an artist I like is frustrating and unfair and honestly kind of pathetic and hypocritical

I could write a 10 page essay on how fandoms I've been in twice as long as I've been a swiftie are nearly as weird as the swifties are

but here's the thing

the other main reason I want to talk about Taylor Swift on my main blog is that I don't want to have a Taylor Swift blog and have to follow other Taylor Swift blogs because shit be crazy over there sometimes

I love her music, I think she's incredible, I KNOW she's the fucking GOAT and I'm vibrating with excitement just thinking about my upcoming Eras tour date, but I also don't love every thing she's ever done, including recently, and I don't think all of her music is good and she's nowhere near my #1 pop artist (hence this blog being Halsey-themed)

A lot of the things I see some Swifties praise/admire her for or celebrate about her or even just gleefully assume about her are things I don't like at best and while that could comfortably be a difference of opinion, the notes on those posts, as well as the language, tend to make me feel like I am going against a consensus that going against earns me a warning from an army

I want to celebrate the art I enjoy from an artist I admire but I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place where the internet spaces I've been a part of since before I knew of Taylor Swift (aka right before debut) are overrun with snooty, pretentious takes that are honestly correct at times and the spaces I would like to enjoy as a fan of Taylor Swift who lived through the Wildest Dreams video, who jolted with confused excitement at the media blackout and first snake video, who grimaced through the Lover rollout, who hugged folklore during some really rough times and still tears up when I hear seven... those online spaces just don't exist for me, anywhere, as far I've searched for them. and I've searched quite far!

I think, honestly, at this point, I am going to Eras just to get it out of my system

I have been to some epic tours in my time but nothing seems so epic as a 3+ hour celebration of nearly 20 years of music from the greatest songwriter of my generation

I want to see Paramore, one of the greatest bands of their time, one of the most important bands of my life, whose lead singer Hayley has been friends with Taylor for 15 years, open for her and feel the energy of many tens of thousands screaming to their hits in a way I haven't seen and felt before

I want to experience that elation and joy and pure euphoria of hearing songs I've memorized and that have mesmerized me echo through the throats and hearts of even more people, pouring out into the sky of a major city with incomparable exuberance and once-in-a-lifetime vigor

but I don't see this claustrophobic, exhausting feeling of being a fan of Taylor Swift when I neither praise nor condemn the ground she walks on going away if I keep engaging online

maybe it's a me problem. maybe she's reached a point of stardom that I can't interface with on a regular basis. I dunno. but come the end of August, I might just leave and never look back.

or maybe, if I'm lucky, I'll find my place amongst the strangest, most dedicated, most insufferable, most passionate fanbase of all time

Thank you to @sleepnoises for making the original poll & for giving us the idea to to this :)

Sorry if we couldn’t get your favorite on here, we were limited to only 12 options (11 if you don’t include the “other” option).

“Ares…is a moron.”

I honestly don’t think that anyone is more amused by the whole “this douchebag decided to try and fight the child of the sea god on a fucking beach” of it all than Poseidon.
