Meanwhile that’s never stopped the Sky thread 

Shades of Cool + Dealer 
 

I remember that day buying it at Target so clearly. I was just a boy  can’t believe it’s been 11 years since then. It’s my favorite and lucky number ⭐️ 
 
Edit: I just texted my partner (whom I met a few months before BTD came out) about the anniversary and that I recalled that it cost almost 2 hours worth of work at the time (minimum wage was like 7 fucking dollars at the time). And she wrote me back, “Well now we’re back in the garden, we’re getting high now because we're older” and I fucking lost it 😭 We’re getting stoned tonight to celebrate. 

What’s the vibe? I pulled four cards.
 
A few things: I’m neutral on Swift, and I don’t have an agenda. Also, I’m not an expert on Tarot, so I invite other interpretations. Also, I’m pleasantly stoned. 
 
Seven of Wands reversed
Overwhelm, among other things, but I think especially so as this is a fire card and associated with the creative drive. Was she over pressured to contribute to a song? Maybe. Or maybe I’m biased. What does this card mean to you in this context?
 
Six of Pentacles 
Generosity, charity. Lana, despite her in/famous aloofness is being charitable to Swift with her talents (and the same some would say is true vice versa), but also Taylor is being generous as Lana will certainly see her coins. 
 
Wheel of Fortune
The sole appearance in this pull from the Major Arcana, this card is all about fate: this collaboration was inevitable, perhaps because of Swift’s frequent admiration of Lana, the Antonoff connection, the overlaps in fandom, etc. Also, this card is about cycles… Is there more to come from the two?
 
Three of Wands 
Our last card is about making plans for the future, fitting to follow the Wheel of Fortune. It’s also about growth, and calls back to the Seven of Wands, our first card, and the creative process. 
 

I just… need the dances.  I need 2c the dances. 
 
i know I’m trite & tired, ok!! 

I wish I had your strength; pray for me. 

You think so?? That’s a lot of effort for not even a full second per lewk.

Ethel Cain has consumed me pun intended  this whole week
 

.

Babylon. Flop. 
 
GDT’s Pinocchio. Wow. 
 
Women Talking. The acting, the writing… one of the best new movies I’ve seen in a while. 

Perhaps one of the best torch songs of all time

She strikes again 

OR we have several women in our families who have had to rely on sex work to eat, have had to rely on them to eat and survive. So when the culture finally accepts WAP level sexual expression from woc, when we see a woman like Cardi who danced to live and is now an icon and owns what would’ve gotten her slaughtered just DECADES ago, we see ourselves and our families validated. 
 
i 💯 % sympathize Lana for the way the media has treated her. But it’s not the same thing and her own whiteness and experience misinformed her judgment. 

it’s not “wokeness” 
 
probably overlaps with folks who think TS’ political silence was OK. 
 
 

Nah I don’t have the time. Energy ZAPT and I have dinner plans. Educate yourselves 
 
read one DEI book, I fuckin dare u

Some of the faceswaps I've seen are actually kinda cute though, 

I said it’s a popular opinion among whites. I didn’t say you were white but in that case, welcome to your Stacey Dash era. 
 
I don’t respect your opinion because I don’t believe in defending white fragility. Lana is my all time favorite singer but qftc was a tone deaf, white-centric mess that glossed over what woc have had to face vs white women. That’s not an opinion, it’s observable fact. Add me to your ignore list
