mostly agreed, honestly. bi-polar disorder is a factor for sure, but there’s a limit to how much of his behavior can be attributed to that.

that’s a reeeeally wide definition for “public-facing position”, then, to the degree that it’s pointless for narrowing the “acceptable” group of people that should have a Twitter account. not all of the artists/bloggers are employed in that field; some of them are just everyday people with a hobby.

it’s not really any…

lots of artists use it, for one. it’s also used differently outside the West; not unlike Instagram, some expat bloggers use it to share cultural stuff, sometimes other-region local events/performers/talents/musicians make posts and engage with their audiences, and so on.

i just hope the fancams stay focused on causes/aimed at people with the intent to annoy, instead of posted to completely unrelated things in my feed. turning off auto-play and blocking keywords: both a blessing.

lol, the rate at which Jezebel writers get even basic facts wrong about the POC they write entire articles to defend/shout the importance of is embarrassingly high. they don’t really care; it’s just about clicks.

kind of same. i’m as frustrated and disappointed with Amazon as lots of other people, but... the option to cut them out is either impossible with things like AWS, or only really feasible for people who a) don’t shop online much anyway or b) are in such a position of privilege that they can easily get what they want…

a company can’t necessarily schedule all meetings and calls around naps if it’s involving people in different time zones or countries, and, if it was excessive noise/screaming/crying, i could see that being disruptive during a meeting; i don’t know these women, but it’s not hard to imagine a parent allowing a child to…

there’s no shame in these feelings, but, even though they are different situations, this looks like reason for pause:

I can’t even get a puppy because it would be unfair to the poor creature and anyway, work and stuff.

agreed on that... i think the Queen Alexandra’s Birdwing was the first model i had made, so i was hoping more of the big critters would = big models like that one did, but there are only 2-3 that are larger-sized :/ .

this is why i can’t seem to keep any fish as decorations (or even bugs sometimes). i’d like to, but the tiny enclosures just make me sad, digital or not.

maybe everyone’s just tired of his PEAK WHITE MAN BULLSHIT

eesh, what an embarrassing proclamation, especially in this context. not a good hill to die on, tbh. don’t be the author. don’t weep for a dog neglecter/abuser, whether or not you incorrectly and ignorantly label her white.

it’s on her Instagram, and even posted in the comments here.

if we’re going to proceed on some insane premise that will never happen, then sure, i’m always going to pick what i know and what i love. again, that’s not a “me” thing, that’s a human thing. it’s pretty unreasonable to ask someone to prioritize a stranger over a non-stranger, whether or not that’s what you’d do. it’s…

it would be nice if the outcome of this was also that he couldn’t get another animal to do this to. there has to be another solution to the problems he claimed having a dog was solving. 

yeah... i see homeless people frequently where i live, some with dogs. there’s a big difference between those dogs and this one. shameful that this author is basically speaking in defense of someone that let a dog’s condition deteriorate so badly.

the more accurate question would be whether or not they’d choose to save a homeless person or a stray animal. most people would likely pick something personally beloved over something strange, whether that’s an animal or a person. if your house and your neighbor’s house are both on fire, which one are you going to…

it’s all to... frame a dog-neglecter (at best) in a sympathetic light? :/

given the dog’s condition, that’s not really much of a leap. it’s not what anyone would hope for or want to think of, but swollen hindparts and internal organ damage at least narrows the field of possibilities.

definitely not the most important thing here, but she honestly doesn’t look white to me (especially in some of her group photos). Jezebel doesn’t actually care about POC and definitely framed this as a “dumb white girl” thing, but just pointing out, i don’t think she’s white.
