folklore | taylor swift ❀ [July 24, 2020] A tale that becomes folklore is one that is passed down and whispered around. Sometimes even sung about. The lines between fantasy and reality blur and the boundaries between truth and fiction become almost indiscernible. Speculation, over time, becomes fact. Myths, ghost stories, and fables. Fairytales and parables. Gossip and legend. Someone’s secrets written in the sky for all to behold. In isolation my imagination has run wild and this album is the result, a collection of songs and stories that flowed like a stream of consciousness. Picking up a pen was my way of escaping into fantasy, history, and memory. I’ve told these stories to the best of my ability with all the love, wonder, and whimsy they deserve. Now it’s up to you to pass them down.

drawing hearts in the byline;
making me so emotional when you think that all the servered innies have never seen the outside world they haven't felt sunlight or wind, they have no memory of their past and the only enrichment they get from the enndless, nightless grind of their existence are old masters inspired propaganda art from the optics and design dept. of course burt and irv fall in love over the art, of course they all find a found family within the monotony, of course they find religion in the corporate manuals they're all yearning to be human in the only ways they can immm

Evidently Lumon’s been blessed with a new wellness director. So I’ll be retiring at the conclusion of this session.
