I don't really feel like digging for my screenshot rn but Chelsey shared a video featuring very similar grey and black stripes shortly before this video released. the camera framing also indicates that this scene in 'Kiss' by Demi Lovato is particularly significant

in the afterwards of 'Late Bloomer' by Mazey Eddings, the author talks about the queer history of lavender after mentioning lavender haze. and she name dropped Taylor multiple times throughout the book in very gay contexts. 🤣 she has a couple overtly gaylor coded posts on her Instagram too

In an extremely rare show of media solidarity across the political spectrum, CNN, FOX NEWS, NBC, ABC AND CBS have declined to agree to the Pentagon’s new restrictions that threaten journalistic integrity and free speech.

More: www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Text reads: JOINT STATEMENT FROM CNN, FOX NEWS, NBC, ABC AND CBS REJECTING PETE HEGSETH'S PLEDGE DEMAND
"WE JOIN VIRTUALLY EVERY OTHER NEWS ORGANIZATION IN DECLINING TO AGREE TO THE PENTAGON'S NEW REQUIREMENTS, WHICH WOULD RESTRICT JOURNALISTS' ABILITY TO KEEP THE NATION AND THE WORLD INFORMED OF IMPORTANT NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUES. THE POLICY IS WITHOUT PRECEDENT AND THREATENS CORE JOURNALISTIC PROTECTIONS. WE WILL CONTINUE TO COVER THE U.S.
MILITARY AS EACH OF OUR
ORGANIZATIONS HAS DONE FOR MANY DECADES, UPHOLDING THE PRINCIPLES OF A FREE AND INDEPENDENT PRESS."

I've also theorized previously that wide stripes like the shirt in the middle might be used to symbolize Vance.

it's also extremely interesting that there's overt political symbolism in this music video:
- a Qatar Airways shirt
- a shirt with the seal of the U.S. Navy

Qatar gifted a jet to Trump. that jet is currently being retrofitted to serve as Air Force One.

US begins preparing Qatari jet to be used as Air Force One

photo caption: Donald Trump has faced criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike for accepting the Qatari 747-8 aircraft

article text:
Preparations are under way to refit a Qatari jumbo jet that is expected to serve as Air Force One for President Donald Trump, CBS, the BBC's US news partner, reports.

The Boeing aircraft - valued at $400m (£300m) - is being donated by Qatar as an "unconditional" gift, with any necessary retrofitting costs being borne by the US government.

I hope the author of this Tumblr post is having a wonderful day

FOB just finished a tour.
P!ATD is performing at When We Were Young fest this weekend.
MCR has been touring The Black Parade all summer.
And Dan and Phil revealed they’ve been in a relationship for 16 years yesterday.

No but seriously imagine it:
You're seeing fall out boy on a concert. Everyone is having a great time. Fall out boy seem a little excited. "We have a surprise for you guys." Partick says. All of a sudden PIATD come out and start singing "this is gospel." When Brendon gets to the chorus, someone else starts singing...
"When I was a young boy my father took me into the city to see a marching band."
Lights flash everywhere, and you see FOB singing
"this is gospel" along with P!ATD, while MCR is singing "Black parade". Everyone in the crowd is going wild and crying. Then if things couldn't get any better, Dan and Phil walk onto stage and kiss, holding the gay flag.
