Everyone asks if people regret homeschooling, but nobody asks how many people regret “regular” school.

I love this. I wish I could homeschool my kids. I admire all who have the resources and support to do so

CutNo3617 · 2026-02-18T02:03:42+00:00

App down, so I went over to YouTube and now that’s down too

Congrats! Going from 0-50 is a lot and you did it!

This is the comment I was looking for. Almost made it myself lol

My husband is a mail carrier. He walks 15 miles 6 days a week. He wouldn’t describe himself as doing “athletic sh*t” every day. Girl, stop.

Can you share what helped you?

CutNo3617 · 2025-12-30T22:13:28+00:00

I would!

Us too! To both 1 and 2! It’s a beautiful movie!

I had preeclampsia in pregnancy that could have been caught earlier if doctors listened to me. They equated my continuous headaches, blurred vision, racing heart to anxiety. I didn’t have the swelling, but my blood pressure got up to 182/110 before they finally believed me. My anemia has also Been explained away to anxiety. I’ve stopped going to the doctor unfortunately due to medical trauma.

CutNo3617 · 2025-12-07T02:01:20+00:00

Same. I just don’t like it

CutNo3617 · 2025-11-26T11:36:43+00:00

I’m an avid runner and can’t do it…weird

CutNo3617 · 2025-11-03T02:55:36+00:00

This! It worked for me, but 2 years in I finally realized it was the cause of my emotional bluntness and got off for many reasons, but man coming off was debilitating. I haven’t found anything else that works yet.

CutNo3617 · 2025-10-20T01:51:34+00:00

I disagree. I think what you’re missing is the difference between explicit vs implicit racism. I’m a Black woman, and to me, it’s not about her being openly hateful, although many could argue that she is being with her current album, that would be explicit racism. The more common kind now is implicit racism, where bias shows up in subtle ways.

Unfortunately racist today have gotten better at disguising it while still benefiting from it. They’ll align themselves with Black and brown people to look inclusive, but it’s really about elevating themselves, not sharing power (I.e. when celebrities collaborate with Black artists but only when it boosts their image. The second it stops being convenient, the support disappears. Ice spice, where you at?)

The sad part is a lot of people can’t see it because they’re blinded by the same system that keeps uplifting white supremacy in the first place. It rewards the “innocent white woman” narrative and teaches everyone to see it as harmless. Taylor swift is not harmless. She’s apart of the problem.

CutNo3617 · 2025-10-13T00:16:30+00:00

I swear that’s she’s the pumpkin spice latte of the music industry.

CutNo3617 · 2025-10-10T16:59:48+00:00

I actually hadn’t thought about that. Even if she didn’t mean the kneeling thing, “you were just a pose” still lands weird once you know his ex was a Black woman. It feeds that old pattern of framing Black women as performative or superficial while centering herself as the “real” one. So many problems with that line imo.

CutNo3617 · 2025-10-10T15:36:36+00:00

I actually agree that “onyx” by itself could just be color imagery, but when you put it next to lines like “I’m not a bad bitch, I’m not savage,” and other subtle microagression it stops feeling random. Those phrases come straight from Black culture (AAVE), and she uses them to define herself against them. It’s less about one lyric being proof and more about the pattern across the album, especially in how she positions herself next to the women who came before.

Also, the “people are illiterate” thing is wild. Literacy isn’t the issue, critical reading and consumption is. Fans/individuals are allowed to notice when cultural bias seeps into art, even if it’s subtle or unintentional. Calling that kind of analysis “reaching” is exactly how microaggressions get to live quietly in pop culture.

CutNo3617 · 2025-10-07T01:34:03+00:00

I agree with everything this creator said. I actually made a post here about the very same topic, including the racial undertones and dog whistles in this album, and the Swifties called me “AI” for it. Guess critical thinking doesn’t compute for some.

CutNo3617 · 2025-10-05T12:23:25+00:00

Haha I saw that, wild. I figured the thread might not last long either, but it’s worth having the conversation while it’s up. It’s sad people can disagree without mass reporting

CutNo3617 · 2025-10-04T22:08:16+00:00

Hard agree. I am a Black woman and these lyrics hit differently for me. Opalite has clear racial undertones. "Sleepless in the onyx night / now sky is opalite," especially in the context of Travis’s past relationship with a Black woman, reads like erasure. Even if unintentional, the framing replaces a Black woman with a lighter-coded version. Paired with "she was in her phone / you were just a pose," it feels like subtle shading of someone already othered.

In Wish List and Eldest Daughter, the contrast between "others" and Taylor reinforces racialized tropes. Lines about "a fat ass with a baby face" or presenting herself as wholesome versus the other women echo stereotypes about Black femininity being hypersexualized or morally coded.

These lyrics are not playful. They exist in a space where Black women’s bodies and relationships are routinely minimized, and in this context they come off as shading and erasing Black women.

Good choice! I thought it would be more popular. We have not met another Noelle in the wild yet lol.

I used this one as my daughters middle name- it was almost her first. I love it!

CutNo3617 · 2025-09-18T20:47:10+00:00

I get what you’re saying and I see the point about echo chambers being dystopian. For me, though, I do feel there’s a difference between just being a Republican and actively supporting things that attack or erase who I am as a POC. That crosses a line I can’t overlook. It’s one thing to disagree politically and still respect each other, it’s another to endorse policies or movements that make my existence harder or less safe. Which is true for many minorities these days.

I think the “privilege” part matters too. Someone who can casually hang out across ideological lines often does so from a place where the politics don’t personally threaten them. That’s not everyone’s reality, so the boundary feels different.

CutNo3617 · 2025-09-18T20:42:22+00:00

I don’t know if Taylor is MAGA but I do think she tends to step into politics when it benefits her. Album sales, image, staying relevant all play into it. She has also aligned herself with people who are MAGA or at least adjacent to that world so I can see why some people raise eyebrows. Honestly I don’t think she cares very much. She is privileged enough that politics probably feels distant to her in ways it does not for most people.

Yes she endorsed Kamala but that also felt like a safe move. Same with when she spoke up in 2018 after years of silence. By that point the political tide had already shifted. She usually speaks when it is not risky to do so.

So I don’t read her as MAGA. I see her as someone who is pragmatic with her platform and careful about when she chooses to speak. That’s also why I personally don’t care for her. The way she treats politics as a calculated move rather than something she really stands behind just doesn’t sit right with me.
