as a progressive Texan and huge bleachers fan i was so happy to see them go hard for him. jack has been a lot more outspoken lately

ok so I was a casual fan of fun and big fan of Taylor and Lorde so I thought I knew very well who Jack was yet I had no idea who bleachers were until I believe it was 2022 when my 11 year old self saw them on SNL and I was unimpressed. then 2 years later I heard modern girl on alt nation and I’ve loved them ever since. I continue to think I’m the youngest bleachers fan at 16

Ok so I have a friend who is a huge tankie (I actually banned him from ever talking to me about politics again because as I was recounting to another friend horror stories I heard from my Uyghur friends he butts into the conversation and accuses said friends of being like cia agents) anyways not too long before that I mentioned something about a content creator I like. he asked who and I was like baby darling you don’t wanna know. anyways so when he finds out said creator is Natalie he calls her all five of the words that communists know. “liberal“ (as a derogator) “reactionary” (doesn’t know what that word means) “radlib” “radfem” and then finally a “terf” and after he called her a terf I spent a good few minutes laughing because this is literally a trans feminist who has days worth of content disproving claims of terfs.

anyways this was really funny, the kids are not alright

hey, I’m president of my team, we are naturally intelligent peiple who do practice rounds twice a week, but I feel as though that is not enough in high school varsity quiz bowl, we all put rounds today, how do you suggest we get better?

I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG

Dancing is so sad, I’m not exactly sure what it’s about, the obvious answer is Sarah but some of the lyrics make me think otherwise. Anyways, the lyrics make it an instant classic and the song is beautiful, sad, and angsty all at the same time. I love this song so much.

found out his heritage and it all made sense to me.

Disclaimer: I despise the state of Israel and I am fully opposed to genocide (I don’t feel like I should have to prove any credibility before saying ‘anti semitism is bad’ but HERE WE ARE)

I always thought that the whole ‘im from tel aviv and i love sombr‘ was just because people hate sombr and people hate Israel (i always thought the whole ‘im from Tel Aviv and i think this joke is funny ‘ thing is lowk anti semitic because tel Aviv is actually a progressive city that hates N*tanyahu and genocide.

But then when I learned that sombr is Jewish and never showed support for Israel, I GOT SO ANGRY THAT THESE PEOPLE WERE DOING ANTI SEMITIC DOG WHISTLES THIS WHOLE TIME!!!

anyways, i hate this racist/sexist/homophobic/ableist generation of ours

Hello fellow Lorde fans! I might go see Lorde at Austin City Limits this fall (it depends on if it ends up working in my schedule)

And I am a huge Lorde fan and I can not wait to see her. I am also a huge Bleachers fan and I can not wait to see them too.

Look, as a member of the Bleachers fan community and the Lorde fan community I have come to notice that the Lorde fans are more likely to believe in the powerpoint and the Bleachers fans all think that it is total BS. But we all agree that they do not appear to be on amazing terms, which is a rather shame because you all can not fathom the way that I want to see her perform 'Don't Take the Money' with them. I love her backing vocals on the studio version of this track, but i also love the live version of this song with Lorde singing portions, I ADORE THIS, and they will both be at the same event. Anyways, I better not get my hopes up. At least I have utmost confidence that Charli and Lorde will perform Girl so confusing together as she will be at ACL as well.

Gone Now is one of my favorite albums of all time, I whole heartedly adore this album. I am not an idiot, I obviously always knew that the album was in big part about trying to salvage his relationship with Lena Dunham.

But after finishing her new memoir, and reading the way that she talked about how their talk about getting married/ having kids, and the ways that both of them really wanted to save their relationship (people keep on saying that this book is why Margaret left him and it makes him out to be evil, but those people obviously have not read it because this book does not make him come off bad at all) songs like Let's Get Married and Don't Take the Money are so much sadder to me just knowing the depth of how the ways he is singing about trying to salvage a relationsip in the song failed.
