I am never going to Madagascar.

I am never going to Madagascar.

I went to Madagascar years ago and there the nephila (golden web orb-weaver) colonies make gigantic webs that hang from the power lines like Kingdom of the Spiders made real. It freaked me out when I first saw one. My brain would not compute what I was seeing. Thousands of them blowing in the wind hanging onto sheets…

Lindsey Weber and Tara Abell (my heroes) at Vulture wrote a mind-boggling rundown of this theory a few weeks ago. EVERYONE GO READ IT NOW. I was obsessing over this for ages. And now I am again. CURSE YOU, RYAN MURPHY!! ::shakes fist at sky::

I'm still not a fan of her rapping accent, but damn, gotta hand it to her for embracing the diss. I think it's hilarious.

Jesus H Rice Crispies. Even when she does something right, she manages to fuck it up by being an utter asshole. Fuck her.

I should add that when I tweeted at her about the 12 years a slave stuff, she messaged some roundabout bullshit and told me about all of her Black friends.

Right. Exactly. That too. I don't understand this belief that if people love their jobs and it's creative work, they shouldn't be paid for it. Fuck no. That's someone's livelihood, you shitbag!

It wasn't even that she was looking for everyone to work for free, she was looking specifically for musicians (the on stage talent that people would come to see) to work for free, but she totally defended paying her graphic design team and her roadies and assistant, cause you gotta pay to get good talent, what…

i love a lot of her music, there was a time where it meant so, so,much to me, but as time has gone on she has just said/done so many things that really makes me wish i was better at mentally divorcing an artist from their work. there are things she has done i think are great, things that i think may be up for…

She's built an entire career only caring about anyone who could do something for her. I'm not surprised of any of this. I still love so many of her songs, but I've known for a long time from personal experience, ever since way back when she self-released that first Dresden Dolls record, that she is out for one person…

Well, one of his close friends didn't seem to have as much of a problem connecting the dots as Ms. Palmer http://www.salon.com/2014/10/29/jia…

All the information is in links about Katy Perry and Mackelmore, so if you read those links you will see that it is a big deal.

So you also wrote off this

I keep trying to like her because of Neil Gaiman, but she keeps being awful. :-(

No her telling women to stop with the insults and "violent language" when they are discussing their reactions to sexual assault is tone-policing. Implying that Amanda Palmer is an asshole for silencing people is not.

Or the time she watched 12 years a slave and all she could think about was backlash against Macklemore.

The tone-policing is strong with this one.

What does Neil Gaiman see in her?

Remember when she wrote a completely nonsensical poem to Dzhokar Tsarnaev? Or when she asked musicians to work for her for hugs?
