It is okay if you change every once in a while; even the sky needs to let go of its stars to give the sun a home for a while. - Laura Chouette (Profound Reverie, 2023)

Horton Plaza, San Diego, a surrealist jumble of multileveled styles.

It is significant to geek culture as it’s multileveled architecture inspired many sci-fi worlds. Part of the reason is that it was so influential to the visual arts is that in the 1980s, it was adjacent to the San Diego Comics Convention (as one of my many displays of old orneriness, I have trouble calling this event “Comi-Con,” just as I cannot call Star Wars [1977] “A New Hope”).

Walden 7, Sant Just Desvern, 2023

Walden 7 is a residential estate designed by Ricardo Bofill, built in 1973-75 on the outskirts of Barcelona. Named after B. F. Skinner’s Walden Two utopian community, eighteen towers connected by 7 inner courtyards originally housed 446 apartments, based on modules with an area of 28 square meters each. Escaping easy characterization, the Walden 7 project is sometimes described as modernist, brutalist and/or postmodern. In the 1990s, the façade was fully renovated, and original tiles were exchanged for red paint

When did the queer community suddenly decide that transneutral androgyny (especially in afab people who don't pass), was somehow accepted by cishet society? What alternate earth do you guys live on where this is a thing? If someone looks completely neutral they are not accepted for their nonbinary identity, they are given extreme amounts of hatred. It is not palletable to cis audiences, or to cis people irl. Please actually go outside and realize there isn't a type or androgynous presentation that's seen as socially acceptable. There is no androgynous presentation that doesn't make most cishet people see you as less then human, and there is no type of enby that most cishet people are at all accepting of.

It gets especially gross when afab enbies are so deeply hated for being "too pretty to cis people". Because one: they're not, the average cishet bigot does not see an androgynous afab person as human or sexual. And two: putting someone down because you think they're attractive to men is a really gross way of proving you see them as a woman.

i lied. anyway i think now i’ve cracked the code. taylor, despite making incredibly mediocre music and generally not being an interesting artist, as well as a billionaire (inherently evil), is actively practicing some kind of sympathetic magic and imbuing her music with it, like she said on the album, puttng narcotics in her songs. but this witchcraft is very specifically tailored to charm every listener into identifying her generic lyrics with their specific situation/identity/interest, moreso than most other pop artists. that’s where gaylors and ‘autismlors’ (neurodivergent girls who armchair-diagnose taylor with autism, you’d be surprised how many there are) etc come from. they genuinely see themselves and their niche experiences in her lyrics and grow to believe that she is part of their community.

that’s why they start noticing cryptic symbolism as evidence of their theories (‘lavender haze’ signifying that she’s queer comes to mind) — her iconography and lore is so expansive that there is something for a person of virtually any demographic to latch on to and demonstrate as ‘proof’ that she is [insert label here]. this works wonders for marketability and popularity — every one of these demographics flock to purchase her albums and buy tickets to her shows because that’s not Pop Star Taylor Swift, that’s their icon. your own personal jesus, like depeche mode said? no, your own personal taylor.

how did i come to this conclusion? well, i have the misfortune of being a big fan of the 60-year-old sci-fi shitshow Doctor Who (it’s been my autistic special interest for 5 months now). and listening to TTPD, i found myself believing that taylor is also a fan and the relationship between a companion and the doctor is what the lyrics of Down Bad are based on (won’t go into detail, for more info literally just scroll down to my previous post). of course i didn’t really believe that, but the seed of “what if?” was already planted in my mind. and that’s when it clicked. this is the interest i’m most focused on right now, so i see it in taylor’s lyrics. a young queer girl from middle america who’s just come out will be heavily focused on her newfound identity, so of course she’ll see it in taylor’s lyrics.

this theory is semi-serious. i don’t actually believe in things like this. but if she had entered into a soul contract with some strange deity of musical correspondence. would you really be surprised?
