being a grad student will have you saying things like "oh come on someone must have written about raymond williams's theory of the pastoral in connection with geoffrey of monmouth"

we still get immediately shoved out of our immersion in tv shows or films when The Girl find a dead body and immediately shrieks - we just don't find it realistic because we're pretty confident most people would gasp rather than shriek (i.e. sharp inhale rather than sharp exhale) and it also feels unnecessarily (and predictably) misogynistic too, as men encountering corpses almost never do the same on screen

also of course please do tell us if you've actually encountered a corpse unexpectedly, because tumblr is absolutely a place where some people have done this thing and we love a good anecdote

suddenly imagining "burst into song" as a potential response

#oh no I’m screaming #I scream at like. itty bitty bugs #I’m screaming ❤️

i have discovered an important library principle while researching. some of you go to “library school” to learn library principles but i stumble over one once a decade and then act like it’s a never-before-known original idea.

if you were adding a ttpd set to the eras tour which songs would you choose to be performed?

#hmmm so let’s say it’s four to five songs: #fortnight (obviously) #bdilh (fun as hell) #the bolter (would make for a good dance I think) #the black dog and so high school #that’s my FINAL answer okay I keep switching it up but that’s what I’m going with #I think ICDIWABH would be TOO meta #and WAOLOM would be so fun. I have a harder time imagining it in a tour setting but it would be so fun #taylor swift

Every time I listen to WAOLOM I think the line is “So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street / Crash the party like it’s nineteen seventeen” like for some reason my brain is CONVINCED that this song must reference the Russian Revolution

#no one cares about my communist Taylor theory… sad…

I’m increasingly convinced she’s gonna add a TTPD segment to the tour just because I think it would be absolutely wild of her to add an entire other era. And she loves to do the absolutely wild thing.

Will had begun to turn and call out, to keep them quiet: "Now you must keep the bargain. Look after the wounded people and start repairing the buildings. Then let the boat tie up and refuel." He knew that it would take a minute to translate that and let the message spread out among the watching townsfolk, and he knew, too, that the delay would prevent their relief and anger from bursting out, [...]. The bear watched and saw what he was doing and why, and understood more fully than Will himself did what the boy had achieved.

Being a young adult is so strange. You enter a coffee shop. The 20 year old girl waiting behind you cried all night because she just came to a new city for university and she feels so alone. That 27 year old guy over there works a job he is overqualified for, he lives with his parents and wants to move out but doesn't know what to do about it. That one 24 year old dude already has a car, a house, and a job waiting for him once he graduates thanks to his dad's connections. The 26 year old barista couldn't complete his higher education because he has to work and take care of his family. The 28 year old girl sitting next to you has no friends to go out with so she is texting her mother. That couple (both 25 years old) are married and the girl is pregnant. The 29 year old writing something on her laptop has realized that she chose the wrong major so she is trying to start all over. We are not alone in this, but we are actually so alone. Do you feel me
