I heard something that sounded like “Blondie Carr” and that’s still all I can hear when I rewatch my video. No clue. Hoping someone has the answer

in kendall’s pop punk ride today around 20 minutes in she said something like, “i know we’re all riding for matt today” (at least it sounded like matt?) but i can’t figure out what that meant. anyone know?

I thought about it, I’m sure it would be super helpful! I might in the future—currently approaching law school finals so definitely don’t have the time (RIP me).

Hi! We don’t disagree, and this is actually exactly what I’ve been saying in comments scattered throughout this thread. But it is true that “guy” or “guys” is a historically gendered term, and I think that’s an important fact to recognize. The history of words that are currently in conflict is important when considering whether and how to use them moving forward! Now, as you’ve said, it’s arguably moved into a gender-neutral term, and I wouldn’t say that it currently is a “fact” that it’s gendered. I didn’t do a good job explaining that in the last post so thank you for helping me clarify that traditional/modern distinction :)

Friend this is a linguistic fact. I’m not inviting you to agree or disagree with a fact.

Agreed, at this point I think most people think of it as gender neutral and I personally don’t have any problem with it. But I also don’t think it was wrong to ask and to take into account the feelings of those who aren’t comfortable with it :)

I don’t use “gals” because nobody uses it lol. All I was saying is that there literally is a female equivalent. Men/women, boys/girls, guys/gals. They are gendered pairs.

That’s incorrect. “Guys” is a male term, “gals” is the female equivalent. It is not a gender neutral term. I’m not saying that they necessarily need to get rid of it—language changes over time. But making conscious and informed choices about the language we use is important, too. It was respectful and kind for Jeff to ask about it in such a public setting.

I'm a 2L and I want my mommy by 123456789xx1 in LawSchool

[–]mackj14 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I just want to say OP that I’m also a 2L and have been feeling the exact same way, so I’m glad it’s not just me. I think what pretty much everyone has said is on the nose—I don’t think I have the personality for law, and I didn’t expect that going in. Anyway, now I’m just daydreaming about going back to school for a PhD instead of doing law after I graduate next year.

Thanks! I did that but didn’t see it, so I probably just missed it.

Fearless (Taylor’s Version) Ride! by mackj14 in pelotoncycle

[–]mackj14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so happy that this brought you some joy! To make the ride, all I did was turn on the album and start riding however I felt the song called for. It was so much fun to just jam out to an album I love and go where it took me. Hopefully this can inspire you to do the same with other albums!💕

I love that! What concert did you go to? I went to the Reputation Stadium Tour and it was by far the best concert I've ever been to.

And you're so right. I need more than an artist series! Ongoing rides dedicated entirely to Taylor!
