This is my daily complaint for the day from emotional exhaustion over all of this

I literally can’t see any of my friends without it becoming about Taylor and trying to rationalize or explain my POV and what’s going on… I don’t want to do this anymore. I’m literally self isolating from friends bc of it.

I’m sick of being looked at by my loved ones like I’m losing my mind.

A lot of people are unaware that avril started off writing country songs and being discovered at a Shania Twain concert.

No matter where her music goes the songwriting is always gonna tell a story, remind you of anyone ;)

My favorite conspiracy theory is that everything will turn out alright.

Your ability to pause and reflect is exactly what doing the work looks like. We’re not perfect and we learn and grow by listening pausing and reflecting.

There’s no one right way towards allyship. But as long as we are proactive and reflective then we are moving in the right direction.

She’s killing her career. We knew that was the plan. And I think we’re witnessing it in real time.

Part of me wonders if this is her reclaiming her power given her position as being used as a very obvious piece of propaganda for the average white American rn.

Whispers -

She’s creating so much cognitive dissonance on every side of the fandom that even we can’t ignore it anymore. She’s imploding her career.

They can’t ignore the hints towards performance art. We can’t ignore the real damage she’s caused/causing by playing this character.

Taylor Swift has the career Avril Lavigne had in another timeline and I will not be elaborating at this time thank you

🌙LUNA 🖤🪻 @lavendergay.bsky.social · 10h

That’s POWER

🌙LUNA 🖤🪻 @lavendergay.bsky.social · 11h

I agree

🌙LUNA 🖤🪻 @lavendergay.bsky.social · 11h

Yes I agree. Unfortunately the culture and the algorithms would much rather us bicker about debatable microagressions dependent on context. It keeps us distracted and infighting. That’s the problem.

That’s why I think we need to stop defending her. It’s a distraction from real problems

As one of the most powerful white people in terms of popular culture … she does not need her fanbase of primarily white fans coming to her defence. If she has a problem with it she has the platform to address it.

This is where I’m at. I believe a lot of the context of the songs leads to these discussions. But the context ppl are applying is from the prevailing public narrative. She can defend herself if she feels it’s important.

We do not have to agree, but we don’t have to defend her either.

Give them nothing personal
So I’m not affected

I’ve sent you a postcard from the edge 🫧🖤

🌙LUNA 🖤🪻 @lavendergay.bsky.social · 1d

Congratulations ✨🖤

🌙LUNA 🖤🪻 @lavendergay.bsky.social · 1d

Thank you for sharing this. I think it helped me gain better insight in how I feel about all of this.

The context is important. And I don’t think the context people are taking is necessarily the truth. However, it is the prevailing public narrative. And she’s aware of that.
