My wife crocheted me a small Taylor Swift doll 😊. And added a ring to the pattern 😍.

She's not a Taylor fan herself but loves me and tolerates my obsession, I mean fandom. 🙂

It's really incredible how the norm against the deployment of the military against Americans at home has completely degraded. What this man is describing is a flagrant violation of Posse Comitatus.
Rep. Pat Harrigan: "I have asked Josh Stein, our governor, to consider working with President Trump to allow the National Guard to come into Charlotte ... use the National Guard as a force multiplier and they can a lot of load off the Charlotte PD."
Yep, with my phone, from Provo. First time I've ever seen them! Even if just via the phone.
Oh wow, that's the best picture I've seen yet! Where are you located?
Even in not-very-far north Utah!
What? That's pretty bizarre. Like if you made brownies, he wouldn't know?? Is that even possible?
Hmm, it's not doing it for me so maybe my app hasn't updated yet.

We used to call this stupidity. There were smart people and stupid people and we let the smart people do the things they were good at and the stupid people were taken care of and didn't need to worry about what the smart people were doing. But now we let the stupid people think they're smart.

Thanks, that's amazing!!
This is amazing news for the people of Utah!!!! Truly fantastic. The will of the voters prevails!!

Also as a practical outcome it'll likely result in one fewer Republican seats in Congress, which could end up being the difference in who controls the House next fall.

I loved that show!!!! Omg, so fun.
Books have definitely been my happy place the bulk of my life. 🩷
Happy reputation day!

It's hard for me to believe that I didn't especially like the album at first, but it's true! Just so different from Taylor's other music I guess. Whereas now it's one of my favorites of hers. So many great songs!
hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you 🖤🐍
happy 8 years of reputation!!
Wow! :)

Taylor will obviously be my #1 as well, but I doubt she'll be over 40% for me.

How do you see that stat, btw?
Amazing photos! How many flips did he do? 🙂
Omg erika, I'm so sorry you were laid off! 😕😕😢
Glad you're here, Nancy. 🫶
Oh man, I haven't seen that in years! I remember liking it though. With Piers Brosnan, right?

This wasn’t shocking but it was sickening. The men (and women) who made this happen, the monsters who assaulted these men, and the people in this country who LAUGH about it or think it’s deserved-I hope they all get cancer after pain medication has been outlawed.
40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine.

We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison.
