I mean...Dear Coquette has a pretty large and devoted following. You can not be known to every single person on the Internet and still have a beloved blog.

Right. OK sorry the law doesn’t work on a ‘trust me’ basis.

Someone had to complain about a copyright violation though, right? Since it’s her music, does that mean that it’s just some busy body filing complaints about anyone who uses music just in case it violates copyright?

So she had an option to refute the DMCA violations and she chose to take a stand and keep her anonymity. She seems to have done it for a good reason but I’m not sure how she could have expected another outcome. The music industry is notoriously litigious and I can understand Tumblr’s point (words I never thought I…

You can visit it as a clean up crew instead, it also works out much cheaper. I just read a book on it called the Antarctic Book of Cooking and Cleaning.

That’s a pretty cool trip. There may be a way to make it more affordable, but it involves ditching the cruise ship and helping clean up around the scientific camps (not as crappy as it sounds, it actually looks like a pretty amazing experience). You should check out “The Antarctic Book of Cooking and Cleaning”. Aside…

You need to understand something, just because a woman is tall, doesn’t mean she has enough upper arm strength to fend off a grown man. Tall women are also scared and vulnerable, especially since they are hard to miss and often subject to public ridicule and a lack of compassion from people like you.

But tourists aren’t the ones ruining Antarctica...

So someone faces a different set of issues than you and your response is to say “oh boo hoo”? How are their problems somehow less valid than yours?

I’m around 5’2” and I really don’t get your sentiment here. Just as short women face their own problems and annoyances and being told that they’re “so cute” and “little” or whatever, very tall women face their own set of problems. Didn’t know that this was the Battle of the Heights.

Ugh, people who veer off clearly marked paths where they aren’t supposed to really piss me off. We toured a bunch of national parks out west as part of our vacation this year and there are many with clearly marked and paved paths to keep people out of fragile ecosystems like the Petrified Forest. Still, I saw people…

this with a Chanel chain?

to be fair though like i am SO GLAD that twitter did not exist when i was in high school

Okay, let’s be fair, she’s in high school.

Have theaters stopped showing the “please leave your trash in the fucking trash cans” piece of the obligatory “here’s the exits, turn off your phones, and otherwise don’t be a dick” preamble they give you before the damn movie starts? They friggin’ ask you politely not to do it, what’s not to understand?

In my non-profit theatres, it was actually volunteers, not paid staff. Who I think should even be treated better than staff, as they’re not even getting paid to put up with that.

I am a former movie theatre worker, current movie theatre industry worker, and every single time, I will clean up *your* trash as I walk out of a film. I do not leave it for staff. There are pretty quick turn-arounds and staff has to deal with way grosser shit than your trash, so let them have time to deal with all…

Agreed. The receptacles are on your way out! It’s the right thing to do. I have a friend who sees truckloads of movies - belongs to a local film society, travels out of town for film festivals, etc. - and he always leaves his drink cup in the cupholder. Granted, it’s not the worst movie theater sin, but it’s…

It's not okay to leave trash anywhere, theaters shouldn't be considered special etiquette bubbles where the employees are super stoked to clean up after you.
