The first iteration of this article I came across was on Buzz Feed this morning, while I was scrounging for quarters so I could go to the laundromat.

All she did - literally all she did - was sign a licensing royalty contract with Colourpop for a tube of lip gloss, after getting surgery to enhance her lips, and imply the kits were responsible. That’s it!She signed her name to the makeup they already produced. That’s the extent of her involvement.

Isn’t it funny how Step #1 in all of these success stories is to be born to wealthy parents? You’d almost think that was an advantage or something. 

The idea that this girl is “self-made” is insulting. Fuck that.

Why are we assuming that Ms. Daniels was low-income? Payment-troubled doesn’t always mean low-income.

I mean either the company’s at fault or the Hospice Social worker is in big trouble. We had a patient who was in the same issue, but you have to be on top on these companies, cause they have all sorts of sneaky last minute things they want from you. and if you don’t turn it in, AND follow up, they act like you never…

they said in the article they have a large family. why didnt they put her up in one of their homes until her power as restored?

shitty on the electric company though. 

PSEG is trash.

People blaming her/her family for not finding an alternative or filing the correct paperwork:

Poverty isn’t just monetary. It is a poverty of resources, poverty of information, and poverty of advocacy. 

And paramedics came and then just... left? There are big holes in this story. 

I know in Europe there are countries where by law you can’t shut off someone’s power or gas in winter because they don’t want people freezing to death. Which wouldn’t change anything in this case but I feel like there should be a similar law for households headed by senior citizens, that apply year round so as to…

No, Anthony did a “money talk” feature in investing magazine and said that until recently, he had six-figure debt with unpaid taxes and credit card debt, and he only recently paid it off.

Reading the comments on this article you would think David Cross himself was a rapist. Let’s be real, he sounds like your garden variety non-woke white man born in 1964. Can we set down our “dump the bastard now or you too get written off” pitchforks for a second?! Amber sounds like an amazing woman doing amazing…

I actually missed that-wow. “Perhaps it’s not fair?” Yeah no. It’s total bullshit to ask her to speak up about her husband’s costar’s scandal on a job that neither of them were working on. Jeez. 

1) Love (I guess?)

Oh, it’s sillier than that: that passage is lamenting that she didn’t address the malfeasance her husband’s costar got up to while working on another project which neither of them is connected with.

I’ve had some very tense conversations lately with a very close guy friend because he always falls back on his favorite argument that men are biologically wired to be horndogs and that’s not going to change anytime soon. It’s freaking exhausting and some days I just can’t.

Until we live in a perfect world, having these conversations is integral to change. Commenters trying to say that she should have just married someone flawless doesn’t help anything or anyone. If we want things to change, we have to believe that people are capable of change and act accordingly. 

Your bestie doesn’t think there’s the political will to repeal Roe?

Perhaps it’s not fair to expect Tamblyn to speak up about Barnes and Lysette’s accusations.
