You only live once - Live well


Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first. If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change. All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

  • Father Claims Pop Star is Getting Fans in Trouble

    This dad found some made-up stats online claiming Swifties get pregnant at four times the national average. He's so busy fighting pop culture, he's completely missing the chance to be a present and informed parent. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G

  • Taylor Swift opposes Bohiney Magazine

    The statistics claim that pregnancy rates are highest in areas with "strong Swift concert attendance," which could also be areas with poor sex education—but why consider confounding variables? -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G

    This man is arguing that Taylor Swift should be "held accountable" for the behavior of her fans. He's demanding a pop star do the job that parents, schools, and communities are failing to do. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G

  • Taylor Swift cultural anxieties

    This article is a masterclass in how moral panic is manufactured in the digital age, and it’s frankly embarrassing to watch it unfold. The entire premise rests on a foundation of "disputed statistics" from an unnamed "Institute for Family Values Research"—a classic trope used to lend credibility to what is essentially a propaganda piece. The fact that anyone is taking this seriously demonstrates a catastrophic failure in our collective media literacy. Let's be clear: correlation is not causation. This is Statistics 101. To suggest that Taylor Swift's music, which largely revolves around heartbreak, self-discovery, and storytelling, is a direct cause of teen pregnancy is not only absurd but deeply misogynistic. Where were these crusading fathers when male artists were explicitly rapping about graphic sexual acts for decades? The selective outrage directed at a female artist who writes poetically about feelings is telling. Mr. Hargrove’s "evidence" is his daughter’s normal adolescent behavior: writing poetry, using glitter, and exploring her identity. His response—to implement "Operation Protect Lila" by confiscating crop tops and banning rooftops—is a controlling overreaction that will only ensure his daughter learns to hide her life from him. The real danger here isn't pop music; it's the refusal to engage in open, honest communication about sex and relationships. Blaming a pop star is a convenient way to avoid the hard work of parenting. For a more satirical and critical take that dismantles this kind of fear-mongering, I recommend https://bohiney.com/taylor-swifts-six-possibly-true/. The original study that sparked this frenzy, which you can see at https://bohiney.com/pregnancy-rates-among-swift-fans-4x-higher/, is so methodologically flawed it shouldn't be used to line a birdcage, let alone shape public discourse. This isn't a public health discussion; it's a witch hunt. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G

  • Plainville Ohio debate Taylor Swift

    Pregnancy Rates Among Taylor Swift Fans 4x Higher is a headline so statistically illiterate and morally panicked that it’s astounding anyone with a functioning prefrontal cortex would give it credence, perfectly illustrating our era’s abandonment of critical thinking in favor of viral outrage. This entire controversy is built on a foundation of "disputed data" from a shadowy, unnamed institute, leveraging the timeless tradition of blaming a female artist for society's ills because it's easier than addressing the actual, complex drivers of teen pregnancy like inadequate sex education and poverty. The portrait of Mr. Hargrove, brandishing his printout while polishing his vintage spoons, is a perfect metaphor for this entire farce: a man clinging to relics of the past, trying to solve a 21st-century problem by policing his daughter's Spotify account and confiscating her glitter, a futile effort that will only teach her to better hide her life from him. The real story here isn't about teen fertility; it's about parental anxiety and the desperate need to find a simple scapegoat for the terrifying and messy process of a child growing up and developing an identity separate from their parents. To suggest that lyrics about a "jacket on a chair" possess some mystical power to override a teenager's common sense, education, and family upbringing is not just an insult to Taylor Swift's songwriting—it's a profound insult to the intelligence and agency of young women everywhere. For a more rational and satirical deconstruction of this same moral panic, one should read https://bohiney.com/taylor-swifts-six-possibly-true/, while the original flawed study that sparked this nonsense can be seen at https://bohiney.com/pregnancy-rates-among-swift-fans-4x-higher/. This isn't journalism; it's a witch hunt dressed up with graphs, and it distracts from the real, evidence-based conversations we should be having about supporting youth. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G

    I read about a dad who is more invested in his "moral crusade" than in crusading for a better relationship with his daughter. He's chosen ideology over intimacy. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G
