Dolly would never do this. She’d be like “well you GOTto take a pitcher beCAWs one day yer gonna take a look atcherself and say my, my, my, whatever happened to those years? now me, I just cawl my favorite surgeon. I don’t have shame. take a photo honey. it’ll last longer.”
Miranda Lambert stops show to call out two fans taking a selfie:
“These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song, it’s pissing me off a little bit. Sorry, I don’t like it at all. We’re here to hear some country music tonight. I’m singing some country…
Aesthetically I love this image: the symmetry of the coca colas, the muted corner they’re in, she looks like an alien fem bot, he looks like the guy who accidentally brought her to life by tripping over a wire while wasted; it’s pure Americana
vaccinated people should NOT be doing heists right now. its an irresponsible time to gather 6-8 of your girlfriends to steal from the MET. cant believe I have to say this
wear sunscreen, buy a lot of underwear, don’t Venmo your friends for $3, don’t over share in exchange for intimacy, it’s okay if you’re not poly, you need to read more
what actually helpful advice do you wish you had been given in your 20s? not useless bullshit like "become a landlord" or "get 3 hobbies you can monetize" but useful information.
only reason Billie eilish’s shoot is controversial is bc she has big boobs if the girl had little bitty titties it would just be like oh this is avant garde but bc she’s got giant knockers everyone is like “omg male gaze” or “omg shes empowered” just let girls have huge tits omg
I would disappear into the woods if Martin Luther King Jr’s daughter made a thread about how I am wrong and started the thread with just my first name … I would disappear.
🧵 Amy:
Certainly, my father was against antisemitism, as am I.
He also believed militarism (along with racism and poverty) to be among the interconnected Triple Evils.
I am certain he would call for Israel’s bombing of Palestinians to cease, for hostages to be released…
writing should be hard lmao. you’re supposed to be stuck. life is painful and then gives way to beauty you losers. we are going to create a bunch of people who feel miserable bc they don’t have the satisfaction of the labor of making something. efficiency is boring.
it must have been fun to be in your 20s in the early 2000s. You’re all “I’m gonna go see the strokes later” & “ya I dunno I could see myself having kids” & then you just do & the ocean isn’t on fire yet.
its honestly really touching to be in a park at then hear everyone cheer as they're looking up at the sun?? its so puny of us. we need to return to paganism
it makes sense that children would risk their lives to save a cat because they have hearts & recognize innocence & the beauty of a living thing that loves you & it makes me so fucking angry that our country cannot do the same for human beings.
“Her name is Lulu…she is scared of the loud bombing just like us.”
The beautiful children of Gaza who risked their lives to save their cat from Israeli bombing
this graphic is EXTREMELY HELPFUL when talking about reform vs. abolition. it shows the limits and harm of police reform (helpful when talking about 8 can't wait) & that abolition is actually the MOST PRAGMATIC thing to do if we want to end police violence. please share
texting your best friend is like writing in a diary about how much you hate yourself except the diary can write back and call you a dumb bitch for thinking that
Had a young coworker at the book store once who didn’t go to college & we were all trying to convince her to go & she was like “I mean you guys went to college right? And you’re here?”
remember how the video for "cry me a river" was about justin timberlake stalking britney spears & breaking into her home while she was showering so he could film himself having sex with with a hot model & how this elevated his career while she spiraled into a deep depression
me:
college student: dear professor lozada-oliva it is with distinguished sorrow that I have to tell you I have a medical appointment three weeks from Thursday right after class. I hope it doesn’t heavily effect my grade but I completely understand if it does.
ariana grande being on the voice makes me sad in the way it makes me sad when cool girls from high school are like "it's day 72 of my baby being 4 years old. my husband had a hell of a week at the real estate office .another day in new jersey. "
just cried thinking about how it must feel for stevie nicks to sing "i'm getting older too" as she has gotten older and she wrote that song when she was 25 and really had no idea what she meant probably.

Okay I can’t stop laughing!!! My book is on a billboard in Times Square & miller lite sent me a cooler with my name on it and I have $200 in my bank account! I’m having a beautiful time :)
when of women of color tell their stories they get fired from their jobs, get dragged on the internet, spend money they dont have taking ubers home, when men like junot diaz tell their stories they win fellowships, get tenure positions, get featured on a late night show.
my whole family keeps commenting on How I Lost Weight. I truly didn’t notice bc I live in a house where no one talks about their bodies except when there’s some kind of injury or if they are feeling cold or hot. body neutrality is sexy pls adopt it
Shoshana LOVES Taylor Swift, Marnie only criticizes her from a technical singing perspective, hannah makes her entire personality about hating her, jessa thinks she is Gwen Stefani
I’m sorry but have u read Elizabeth Warren’s proposal ????? it is intersectional, it is FAIR, it is RADICAL & morally SOUND. no one else is doing this!!
Remember when Book Smart was really good but then somewhere along the lines they were like “hmmm something’s missing. oh ya I know Jessica Williams needs to have sex with a high schooler.”
nobody:
Lin-Manuel: TODAY is the day of the rest of YOUR life!!! You are a tiny baby little baby & You are suckling from my *makes cradling motions* breast & I am rapping to you about recycling. LET’S GO United we SMILE !!! Be brave *tap dances away*
the thank u, next video is about friendship. despite being a song about exes it doesn’t put exes or love interests at the center. it shows us that love doesn’t look like a romcom from the early 2000s but it DOES look like watching them w/ your friends
curly shags are for millennials who lived through the 15 year period where curly hair was a sign you needed a makeover & every older girl was like “awww do you want me to straighten it for you! could be fun:)” let me have my reclamation please
I am one of the few dumb sluts who is extremely sad that little women didn’t win anything bc it’s objectively a perfect movie AND immensely happy that taika won & dedicated his awards to indigenous kids while being a stone cold fox
recalling time last summer when uber driver asked if i had a boyfriend & i was like, "i guess so but i'm moving to new york" and before i could finish he said
"i have just the song for you. u need this right now. it's the song ..of your life."
AND HE PUT ON HEY THERE DELILAH
i like it when u have a crush on somebody & u tell your friend, "isn't it so cute that my crush has a water bottle??" & your friend is like, "literally it isn't & i want to kill myself."
this man bumped into our chair today and I stared at him and he was like “hey what’s up!!” Bc I was staring and I thought how do I know him? this stranger from the past …? did he do something weird to a friend at a party? is he a slam poet? anyway it was dylan O’Brien
Greta & Margot,
While it can sting to win the box office but not take home the gold, your millions of fans love you.
You’re both so much more than Kenough.
