About This Blog
This is my personal blog, so there's no accounting for what you'll get here. I'll blog a lot of something one month and be on something totally different the next.

I also rant and argue a lot.

Stuff I usually blog:
→ politics (American and international)
→ international relations
→ social justice (feminism especially)
→ language & linguistics
→ the Balkans
→ gymnastics
→ personal stuff
Alison Krauss
fandom

This blog doubles as an Alison Krauss' boobs appreciation blog because for some reason, when you do a Google search for Alison's boobs, my blog is generally the first relevant result. I don't know how this happened, but I will accept it, because if people are gonna be googling her boobs, better they find the blog of a heterosexual fangirl than that of some skeezy old man.

If I ever disappear or get hacked, find me at iellaantilles.tumblr.com.

I somewhat agree with this.
Though I don’t condone leaking her songs onto the internet, I also don’t condone sharing them secretly and not letting anyone else listen to them.
I remember when I first learned about her songs. I was a huge Taylor fan (still am) and it killed me that they were these people who had all these songs that I had never heard of hers, and they wouldn’t even let me listen to them. They just kept telling me things like, “you’ve got to earn it.” I found that very rude.
So when I learned how to find the songs myself, I decided that I was going to be different than these people. If a Swiftie came to me and asked me to send them some songs, I would do it. Without them sending me anything back. Because that’s the nice and kind thing to do. And I honestly don’t think Taylor would mind letting other fans listen to her unreleased songs. I think she would want us to share them. I mean, I’m not saying leak them onto youtube or anything. But why can’t we share them between each other without being rude about it?

Make ALL the things available to EVERYONE who wants them.
That’s how fandom should be.
