August Slipped Away Into A Moment In Time

Taylor Swift / Harper’s Bazaar November 2012

embrace the new sun !!

Genuine question, but could TN actually help/what could they do in this circumstance? I hope something is addressed though (especially since we do know Taylor supports the community) And actually is there anything we can do to help too?

Yes I do truly believe they could help by at the very bare minimum making a statement about it, something along the lines of “Taylor Swift and our community do not stand for bigotry or discrimination of any kind. It has been brought to our attention that some of our LGBTQ+ fans have been doxxed and outed on social media platforms recently. Not only do we want to make it explicitly clear that this is not acceptable, but we will also be providing support to ensure that these culprits are reported and any necessary further action is taken. We stand with our LGBTQ+ fans and the broader LGBTQ+ community as a whole, and we will do everything in our power to protect every member of our community.” 

Frankly this is something that has been festering for a long time, the violent homophobia and transphobia in this fandom has been waiting just under the surface. And the whole situation with the song Betty was just the spark that lit the fuse. This is something that has needed to be addressed for a LONG time and it hasn’t ever really been fully addressed. Taylor has been vocal about her support for the LGBTQ+ community, but the internal fandom homophobia and transphobia really has not been addressed. And it fucking needs to be.

it’s nice to have a friend is not about having a different best friend during different stages of your life and is instead a progression of an imaginary friendship into a lifelong partnership, because after the school bell rings, sidewalk chalk is covered in snow and later when the church bells ring after she marries her best friend, the rice on the ground looks like snow, connecting the final verse to the first verse and therefore confirming that the same friend that that taylor passes notes with and sleeps in tents with and plays 20 questions with is the same friend she later on marries and the song sounds lonely and desolate like a still winter morning when the windows are frosted with snow but the chill hasn’t let itself into your bedroom just yet because it speaks to the inherent loneliness of growing up as a girl who falls in love with her best girl friends, but that lonely girl finally marries her best friend and that is why the song sounds lonely like a grey winter morning but at the same time comforting like a friend/love of your life running her fingers through your hair in bed on a grey winter morning, in this essay i will-

Around here we support slackers, cheaters, underachievers, and, especially, burnouts

look not to be heterophobic but there’s no way a straight person could write folklore
