So if you don’t know Taylor Swift has a tumblr (it’s creatively named taylorswift and that sounds like I am mocking it but more that I am stunned someone wasn’t just sitting on that name years ago).  She’s had it for a while now but has kind of been knocking it out of the park lately by being funny and charming.  She engages in popular memes, she reblogs peoples posts with jokes, she engages.  I mean, with some people.  I don’t see it happening with this because this is creepy.  I am creepy.  Some people assure me I am not but man it kinda feels that way when you know a person might read what you have to say.  Which kind of brings up a more general point, the reminder that people are people.  It’s easy to forget online and Taylor Swift feels like a pretty good bellwether for that because the way the narrative about her has shifted over time is interesting.  There was a point where people couldn’t pile on enough and really it wasn’t even that long ago.  Those people were dicks.  We were dicks cause I made some jokes, too.  Cause we kind of forget people are human beings and I think it never even occurs to us they might like… have thoughts and feelings.  And for someone like me it’s even more unexcusable to make some lame joke about how many people she dated because… I am older.  It’s a little scary with the internet that we judge people for what they did at 21 and then want to hold them to it forever.  And in her case she didn’t actually commit a crime, it was just a convenient punchline.  And guys, I was a fucking idiot at 21, I am so lucky I wasn’t famous.  That’s all shifted now.  Which is good but.. I don’t know, I had a point here but I kind of lost it.  I have been a little under the weather, I’ll blame that.  The point is Taylor Swift is actually kind of awesome and it seems fucked up to recognize that and not at least feel a little bad for ever saying otherwise.  Also she is gorgeous and talented.  So today I want to fuck Taylor Swift.
