I know art is subjective, but I really have problems with these.

I think it’s a great painting, but a lousy portrait. Even ignoring that it looks nothing like Michelle Obama, I don’t think it even captures her energy.
So you have to be an artist or an art professor to look at that painting, which is intended to be a portrat of an actual person, and say, “Gray skin or not, that does not look like Michelle Obama”? Because it DOES NOT LOOK LIKE HER.
I don’t know anything at all about art. And I’m not trying to be snarky because like I said, I’m totally ignorant on the subject, so can you give a quick tl;dr about why this is good, or at least why the fact that it doesn’t look like Michelle is ok? I’m honestly asking because the only things I know about art I…
My point is that public condolences can be a little insincere and are performative. I don’t care about SJP, and don’t know that Kim is unstable. When there is a loss in my circle I private message people, usually something more than a sentence. What I’m talking about here is social norms. We shouldn’t rely on…
UGH this brings back memories of when my dad died 3 years ago. I had an old best friend from high school who became an extremely toxic part of my life, and this resulted in me basically ghosting her (which is shitty but I didn’t know how else to extract myself - this is after I had told her my feelings several times,…
This is so well stated. I wish more people understood that not everything sentiment should be expressed via social media.
Caitlyn has always been a horrible parent. She abandoned her first set of kids to start a family with Brody’s mom. Then abandoned them when she meet Kris. She doesn’t seem to have a relationship with any of her kids now. She hasn’t met Kylie’s new baby and doesn’t speak to any of the Kardashians. I remember when the…
Ooh do you remember where you found that statistic/study? Did they measure all that across qualifying factors like income, region, racial, religion etc etc?
Absolutely. My brother died suddenly 3 years ago, and if someone who hadn’t spoken to me in years (but knew how to contact me personally) took to social media to offer condolences, I would have been PISSSSSSSED. If SJP sincerely wanted to offer condolences, she should have done so privately. Her behavior comes of as…
I understand that the advent of social media has changed our social mores, but there is still etiquette to follow after the death of someone you know or know through others. It is absolutely not the time to make public conciliatory gestures like Parker’s because you are making it about YOU. If you want to extend an…
I’m taking a dsst test on psychology of aging and adulthood and one the flashcards said that when men remarry, they typically “abandon” the kids from the first marriage and focus on the new kids more. Whereas women prioritize the kids from the first marriage more if they still have custody.
I personally am not a huge fan of social media condolences. They are super casual, and I don’t like the public aspect of things. Send flowers, send a card, send a private message; there’s a tactful way to do it. ESPECIALLY if you are publicly fighting with a person and they suddenly experience a huge loss, be…
Team Cattrall here.
oh, well then, enjoy your upcoming coma.
While SJP made an innocuous comment regarding Kim, I get why Kim is irritated. She doesn’t want her name associated with SATC anymore especially during her heartbreakingly loss. It’s like salt to a wound. This was needed. sometimes you need a big “leave me alone,” sign for someone to get the point.
Good for Kim! I’m sick of the half assed condolences and thoughts and prayers. Social media makes it so easy to express our “condolences” AND it makes sure the rest of the world (or our followers) know just how much we “feeeeeeeeel”.
Never thought I’d say this but: I do feel kinda bad for Brody.
