look I think it’s fine to say some books aren’t for you but there is this impulse among Male Literary Intellectuals to dismiss Austen as just a silly girl gossip book, when it is, in fact, about surviving as a woman in a world that views them as inherently silly
I was literally just going to write a post about the dishes right before I saw this. I hate doing the fucking dishes, but it keeps me human. It's a constant reminder that I need to take responsibility if I want something, that I am the arbiter of the conditions in which I live.
Everybody wants to be enlightened, nobody wants to do the fucking dishes. the highest thing you can be as a human being is not the thing you understood, it's the thing you did. some guy who can't spell his own name right but built a house with his two hands that actually stands is closer to God than any man who read a thousand books and never moved his thumb for anyone else. not because he prayed because he made a thing exist that didn't exist before, and that's what God did, and that's all anybody is asking you to do
“Something that starts with artificial wouldn’t have a clue, because no algorithm can replace the soul of a true original who defies the status quo and easily refuses to be categorised.
Taylor is a beacon for those who refuse to let others define their narrative.”👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Ok the bit about her pausing a movie scene and trying to write from every character’s internal perspective just as an exercise is sort of insane I need her drafts asap
🎥| Please do take the time to watch the FULL video of Steven Spielberg inducting Taylor into the Songwriters Hall of Fame! It’s nothing short of magnificent which comes as no surprise since he’s one of the best storytellers in history!
Yeah sobbing she deserves everything. A wise woman once shared a favorite quote saying, “everyone is jealous of what you have, no one is jealous of what you had to do to get it”! So much love for her, her craft, her work ethic, and her passion. A marvel �
This is what she meant when she said that her friends and family said "you've never been more YOU"
This is the girl I was a fan of way back when. It's amazing to see her back.
“Taylor Swift is perhaps the most renowned singer-songwriter of her generation, with a gift that cannot be duplicated.
Summing up a career as extraordinary as Taylor's, the default is to simply look at the stats: the best-selling female recording artist of all time (with more than 100 million albums sold); the most Billboard Top 10 hits by a female artist; a groundbreaking and record-breaking world tour that was so massive it propped up local economies; multiple entertainer of the year awards from multiple organizations, and 14 GRAMMY awards, including four trophies for Album of the Year, the most of any musician in Recording Academy history.
Additionally, Taylor was the youngest winner of the Songwriters Hall of Fame Hal David Award. She was the youngest person to win BM's President's Award. She would become the youngest person to win the Album of the Year Award at the GRAMMYs.
She achieved all of this by age 20, and was only on her 2nd album.”
