To be clear: i don't think a single TS song in the past decade is exclusively about 1 thing.

I am not gonna preface every single post I make with that disclaimer because character limits already make my life harder.

Similarly, I'm not wasting character space every post declaring: this is a theory

As both a Phan & a Gaylor, I’m well acquainted w/ queer shipping communities & how we’re often treated like conspiracists. But shipping IS human nature.

W/ confirmation Phan is Real & the frank discussion D&P had, I want to relate it back to Gaylor & dive into the good, the bad & lessons learned.

It’s a great choice for the clean version, to be fair but I need my explicit language lol

Stolen from threads- TTPD The Anthology has 31 songs, TLOAS has 12, so everyone has a birthday mashup. Mine is Cancelled X I Hate it Here (Taylor’s is TLOAS X I can do it with a broken heart)

Truly, few people deserve to suffer the consequences of their actions more than Dr Phil, who exaggerated his expertise & sent vulnerable young teens to nightmare camps he advertised as rehabilitation ranches.

A whole generation of kids were raised by parents who trusted Dr Phil implicitly, too.

Dr. Phil went full MAGA and tried to reinvent himself as a MAGA media mogul and culture warrior. Now his world is unraveling, his media company is laying off thousands and had to file for bankruptcy, and he's being sued for fraud. The whole plan is collapsing.

I upset quite a few Swifties by daring to suggest Taylor was wearing a wig/topper at recent engagements, especially the night shows. In this video, I discuss the culture of reacting rather than trying to determine context, and the way that Swifties often “defend” Taylor from her own artistry.

Sooo... I Might Have Upset Some Swifties...

What no one warns you about filming hour long videos is that you have to watch each one like 6 times in the course of editing it, it will take longer to caption and render and export and compress and upload and process and uhhhhg

Aerin Moriarty(they/them) @aerinmoriarty.bsky.social · 1d

I feel very normal about this

In today’s episode of “Dyking w/o Trying,” I was trying to make a statement about how— if you assign gender, name or traits to literally anything, humans will ship it.

I was paying more attention to the point I was making than the items I was grabbing, tho, & I realized belatedly what I’d done.

Had a dream that Taylor reworked “18 and Life” by Skid Row to be able signing an extended contract with the industry as a teen…

Looking at Grace Jones as a child contributed considerably to my homosexuality. She's stunning.

Interesting decision to wear 2 boots to the same event but change nothing else...

I've never once been wrong about a single person I thought was gay. Not once. This is just more proof for me lmfao I'm on 100% streak

Yeah, basically same lmao.

I was so clumsy that contact sports made sense cause I had high tolerance to having my clock cleaned.

...are you me? I gave myself a concussion. And because I did martial arts as a kid and took kicks/boards to the head a lot, all my concussions really fuck me up!

This is the first time they've admitted it. They've lived and worked together for years but have infamously been real evasive about the truth of their relationship.
