my therapist: sometimes you simply have to experience an emotion instead of thinking about it
me, nodding sagely: and then it goes away
therapist: well not necessarily
me, shaking my head furiously: no, I don't like that

Me: I just don't understand why I can't just out-think my anxiety and emotions and simply react and respond in the most ideal way every single time and never feel bad

ao3 kudos emails are a beautiful reminder of how fandom is so everlasting. like, someone might read smth i wrote over a decade ago, rejoicing in a new fandom for the very first time, & i may have forgotten that singular joy, but someone will follow in my footsteps. and it's right there in my inbox.

The veneration of Books As Objects misses the point entirely. If you're reading a book, turn the corners down, break the spine, spill soup on it. It's your book, go nuts. A pristine, unread book is a tragedy in a way that a beloved, much-read book that looks like the dog's been at it could never be.

on this day seven years ago i was in san francisco and let me tell you, i am california dreaming on such a winter’s day

like what do you mean california actually looks like this

An image of San Francisco - blue water in the background and soft brown grassland in the foreground. The sky is cloudless and it looks warm and sunny.

An image of the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco - a big red suspension bridge over blue water and small hills in the background. There is a bus in the foreground. The sky is blue and it looks warm and sunny.

An image of San Francisco - a close up of downtown apartment buildings where one half of the frontage is white and the other is mint green.

taylor swifts Instagram caption: I'll never forget how excited I was in 2006 when my first album sold 40,000 copies in its first week. I was 16 and couldn't even fathom that that many people would care enough about my music to invest their time and energy into it. Since then l've tried to meet and thank as many people as I could who have given me the chance to chase this insane dream. Here we are all these years later and a hundred times that many people showed up for me this week. I have 4 million thank you's I want to send to the fans, and 4 million reasons to feel even more proud of this album than I already was. Thank you for going out to celebrate this project in the movie theaters, investing in vinyl, streaming, watching the video, buying CDs, reading the poems I wrote inside the packaging, and immersing yourselves in The Life of a Showgirl. I'll cherish this feeling forever. Just wow. Thank you for the lovely bouquet

Taylor Swift, looking over her bare shoulder, is framed by a massive, textural collar of bright red feathers. She wears a striking headpiece shaped like a large, ornate star made of shimmering silver and clear rhinestones. Her hair is styled up, and she is wearing dramatic red lipstick, looking intently at the camera.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Shonda Rhimes admits the hardest scenes to rewatch on ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ were Lexie Grey and Mark Sloan’s deaths:

“I watch it back now, and I was like, ‘I can’t believe that actually happened, and that people survived watching that. That was horrifying.’”

REALLY SHONDA PLS!!! 🙄😒

STILL HAVE PTSD! 😭

we all wanted this and we all knew it was coming in good time. a chance for us all to feel the magic one last time, and say goodbye to the eras tour.

one thing about us swifties is that we stay winning. i don’t think there is any artist who gives as much or keeps their fans as fed as taylor does.
