Honestly, few things describe me better than my "Favorite Books" section on Goodreads. This also applies to movies, TV shows, etc.

They told you about work spouses, but they never warned you about work mistresses. You know, the new work person who you like WAY MORE than your work spouse. And when you get caught going to lunch with the mistress, the spouse gets mad.

I was getting my hair touched up today, and while I processed, I was knitting while a grandma was across from me watching TikTok.

There's something about eating a shrimp boil that makes me feel like a king among men.

Months ago, my brother said imgonnagetyouback × dress would be a good Eras Tour mashup.

In short, he's not okay.

After much deliberation, I have my list of favorite tracks from #THETORTUREDPOETSDEPARTMENT   
(also, this list will last like, maybe a month)

[Taylor Swift @taylorswift13]

The Tortured Poets Department. An anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time - one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure. This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up. There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed. And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted. This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it.

And then all that’s left behind is the tortured poetry.

THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT is out now: https://t.co/PzuwWnatO7

I can't remember another "health"-related commercial that has gone out of its way to have this kind of neutral, nonjudgmental relationship with food. I already really like Megan Thee Stallion, but I respect her so much for this.

[GRAMMYS @RecordingAcad]

Congrats Best Pop Vocal Album winner - 'Midnights' @TaylorSwift13 #GRAMMYs

[vala 𖣠 @prfctromantics]

when i tell you i fucking glitched when she said brand new album LIKE THIS WAS MY REACTION

[snowglobe allie (swiftball era) @reckedmaserati]

if I had two nickels for every time Taylor Swift showed up at an awards show looking like she’d announce rep tv but she announces a brand new album instead, I’d have two nickels - which isn’t a lot, but weird that it’s happened twice
