I concur - also I will weigh in as a graphic designer and say that the font and actual placement of the word ‘the’ (used on Swift’s merchandise because ‘The Folklore Album’ makes more sense than ‘Folklore Album’) is significantly different in placement. When you’re talking about such a clean logo look, that means a…

You get a little sick of being the cannon fodder in a war you shouldn’t have to fight. It also takes up a lot of time.

Was it an innocent mistake? Perhaps[.]

My first thought, too. Plus, zero hesitation in saying “oops we screwed up and we’ll fix it.”

In related news: single woman have been recording answering machine or voicemail messages stating “WE can’t come to the phone right now...” for so long many of you don’t have an answering machine and never did. 

Wait, are there people who really think this was intentional?

Well, if more women can become successful and visible in business, by getting around roadblocks in this way, then it could also help in the long run.

Her death really has stuck with me.

Speaking as a graphic designer who designs logos for a living...those two logos can barely be considered similar. Different typefaces, different case, the “the’s” — while bookended in both versions — are styled differently. Not to mention different industries. This is a non-story for me, and getting a charge from…

Yeah, as shitty as it is, this might be a good time for the letter writer to make some new friends who’re on the same page with them, communication-wise?

Maybe she’s not ignoring you because she’s overwhelmed but simply because you’ve grown apart, or because you have created a dynamic in which you’re the strong, supportive one who has her life together and she’s always in distress and eventually that becomes very tedious for both parties.

I think I found those pants, and while I don’t know you, or what you like, or what you like to do, you need them. We all need them.

The logo of Folklore is literally the word folklore. It’s not unique enough to be reasonably labeled as stealing. I’m glad Swift honored this though.

Thank you for making this key distinction. (Plus Gary Busey was/is a joke even though it was well-known he has permanent brain damage.)

- you can have a mental illness AND be an asshole.

All I will say is I went to a small high school (100 students per class) and at my ten-year high school reunion I sat at a table with someone who, I swear to god, I have never seen in my life, and he seemed to really resent me for that. 

So I regularly attend my college reunions because it’s usually a good time to hang out with a group of friends it’s hard to get to see otherwise. They’re held on campus so it’s fun nostalgia. (Overpriced if you’re a sober person but honestly I think I make up for my costs with the free-flowing wine at dinner.)

Dang. I’m sincerely sorry

I didn’t attend mine, but I bartended the 10 year reunion for the class one year above me which was pretty awkward. I wasn’t Ken Marino on Party Down, but it was definitely weird.

Well. My high school class was famous for a waterside accident 10 days before graduation that left several students injured and one beloved classmate dead. Our graduation was marked by students being wheeled in gurneys over the stage and reporters shoving microphones in our faces.
