I'm glad to hear that it doesn't sound like they're actively avoiding it! I can totally understand wanting to include a wide variety of interpretations. I'll be curious to listen to the ivy episode once I get there. And also whenever they get to dorothea, rwylm, question..?, and hits different lol

I was just introduced to this podcast on Monday! Started from their first ep and just finished the loml ep. Having heard the NewRo ep, I def think Uncle Jerry could be a gaylor sympathetic, but it seems (so far) like Angela is pretty anti... Haven't gotten to this one yet, but I had to come see if..

It's so strange why people aren't just honest!! Some people purposefully shrink their garments in the laundry to make them fit better so surely SOMEONE will buy it if it's listed that way! And yeah I usually also ask for measurements. I just didn't this time, but I won't make that mistake again 🥲

Am I the only one who gets this irritated by stuff like this? I should've asked for measurements to confirm, sure, but like. These basically aren't even the same pants 🫠

Thankfully I like my sweats baggy, so I can still get the new ones on my body, but they're comically short. I was convinced they were a size smaller until checking the label. Maybe I'm just neurotic about my laundry habits, but shrinking in the dryer is the only logical explanation I can think of.

boots beneath taylor's bed @bootslor.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

The three pairs I have are all different colors & all fit the same. The new pair is at least 2, maybe 3 inches shorter, I'd guess 3-4 inches tighter in the hips, and the drawstring is barely long enough to come out of the holes for it. I double checked and it is, in fact, labeled as the same size.

Ok I feel like it should be REQUIRED to put in Poshmark (and other online marketplaces) listings if the clothing you are selling has shrunk in the laundry (if you aren't including measurements, anyways). I just bought a pair of sweatpants that is a duplicate of three others that I already have.

Y'all I was gifted these socks by someone who is not a Taylor Swift fan/does not know any of the lore. And I just think it's so funny 🤣

I just rewatched that episode and ohhhh my gosh 😳 One thing that stuck out to me was that her sister stopped by & saw men's clothes in her bathroom & said she was glad that the main character was moving on. When main character didn't know what to say, sister said, "You deserve whatever you want"

My brain just synapsed omg is it a nod to Black Mirror? There's already the bathtub scene with Domhnall which definitely is, so I think it's very possible it could be.

HONEY, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time... I'm sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, 'cause she's dead. Look what you made me do. I had to use Opalite.

Ok I immediately thought of that! I was like wow, what a role reversal for this one. Another thought... in black mirror, the only reason his clone ended up in the bathtub is because the *actual* him was dead...

Either way, I feel for you & am sorry you're dealing with that. I hate being put in that kind of position, too. Plagues me every time I have a client no-show who gets upset about the no-show fee. It's in the practice policies, reviewed at intake, in all the appt reminders. It's as clear as can be...

Yeah that's rough. Seems like it'll be a big learning moment for them. Maybe they won't have learned about the films from the class, but hopefully they'll learn a valuable lesson about how to manage their time and being clear on the expectations of things that they agree to/commit to doing.

I imagine there are some students that have school paid for by parents or scholarships or something, but I can't imagine paying that much for school and then not attend. Like when you break it down by cost per lecture? Oof. At least in the US lol

Wait WHAT?! I had never seen that before!! The skirt on Britney's dress makes me think of the skirt/dress from the start of the ME! music video, too. Mostly the leaves on hers vs the flowers on Taylor's

TaylorSwiftStyle post of Taylor's outfit from beginning of ME! music video. She is wearing a dress with black v-neck sleeveless top and white tulle skirt with colorful flowers (in shades of pink, purple, yellow, white, and peach) interspersed around the waist and down the skirt

Britney wearing dress with long-sleeved peach-colored top with lavender sparkly design across the front and at the ends of the sleeves. The skirt of the dress is tulle in shades of pink, purple, yellow, and peach, with leaves (appears to be poison ivy, but don't quote me on it) interspersed throughout the layers of tulle, running from the waist of the skirt to the hem.

Oh oof. I admittedly don't know much about ME/CFS, but even with just a quick search, it seems pretty clear that exercise is actively unhelpful. Like I didn't even have to dig to find that. Even the NHS has it clearly on their ME/CFS page that GET is not recommended 😭

But it absolutely doesn't help. Just one more way in which the insurance and healthcare systems are problematic af

boots beneath taylor's bed @bootslor.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

I think one of the things that is a HUGE barrier is that in primary care settings in the US, if someone has a BMI above the "healthy" range, adding the corresponding diagnosis code and a related intervention (e.g., lifestyle counseling) increases insurance reimbursement... Obvs not the only reason,

It's such a mind fuck when you can present them with all the evidence in the world that the weight-centric approach is both harmful & unsustainable, including research explaining various mechanisms the body uses to fight against weight loss, & they're still like BUT BUT BUT lose weight 🫠

Turns out prescribing weight loss doesn't fix everything and isn't free of its own risks to health? And also makes patients less likely to seek both preventive medical care and care for things that are easily treatable at the time but left unchecked could hugely impact future health status?

271

boots beneath taylor's bed @bootslor.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

"but there are clear associations between BMI and health" like I'M SORRY WHAT HAPPENED TO CORRELATION ≠ CAUSATION?! Maybe those associations are at least partially because they don't actually appropriately assess patients, so the actual issue goes untreated with a prescription for weight loss?

boots beneath taylor's bed @bootslor.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

UGH this stuff pisses me tf off. Doctors do SO MUCH HARM. It baffles me how many doctors don't even consider that they could simply provide the same testing and interventions for people based on their symptoms alone, regardless of their size. They miss so much when they pin everything on weight.

If you're concerned about it, would be worth talking to an eating disorder-informed dietitian who could explore it further with you. Signed, An ED specialist dietitian (but of course disclaimer that this is social media & is just general info to consider, can't ethically give specific recs/advice)

If you get more headaches than usual, feel lightheaded/dizzy, more irritable or anxious, etc. on days with lower intake, it might be worth adjusting. Also if you have issues with blood sugar swings/insulin resistance, more consistent intake throughout the day & from day to day is generally helpful.

130

boots beneath taylor's bed @bootslor.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

It's not uncommon for peoples' food intake to fluctuate from day to day! Often if intake is lower than someone's general needs on one day, their body will adjust their cues the following day to bridge the gap. I think if it's a system that works well for you and feels good to you, it's probs fine.

Something about the video is making me wonder if it's actually real or if it's edited or AI or something. Are we sure this is legit? (I could see this coming across as patronizing but I don't mean it that way!! I swear I am just curious and feeling a little suspicious about it)

I felt like I was losing my mind when so many people were loudly proclaiming that they weren't going to vote. I understand that neither option felt great, but what did they genuinely think abstaining from voting was going to do? How did they think it was going to play out?
