Ha ha. You’re too cool to care about some internet cat but they made you write the article anyway. Ha ha. Who cares about some cat.

Would it have killed them to go with “RIP Lil Bub”?

Not to mention all the thousands and thousands of animals she helped, raised money for and donated to. Bub and her person did SO much for SO many.

Because she doesn’t advocate for getting rid of ‘half your shit’. You’re getting that from a secondhand source that is purposefully misinterpreting her method for clicks and snark.  

because that’s miles away from what her method/goal actually is. stop listening to the people insisting this wrong thing and take some time to read up on it yourself.

Orrrr I’m not really down with people actively misleading others and this post is basically continuing the nonsense claim that Kondo’s method is minimalism when it literally isn’t. I prefer telling the truth to telling exaggerated lies. 

Thank you. I have in my background cultural and religious trauma and abuse. Her books were the first time someone talked to me about just keeping what I love and that sparks joy. It was seriously life changing for me. And, damn, it works, my house is lovely.  Things came together in a way that s sort of amazing.…

Jezebel snarking and misrepresenting a woman? How surprising. 

maybe if you were silly enough to misinterpret her method in a way that caused you to throw out things you want or need (and can’t think to buy a ladle anywhere else), this is just... fate you brought upon yourself.

No one needs a $24 scrub brush for pots and pans. The KonMari Method isn’t about needing stuff, it’s about being mindful of the stuff you buy and have and whether or not it works for you.

If accurately summarizing her method instead of mischaracterizing it means I’ve drunk the Kool Aid, then sure. 🙄

agreed. this is trash journalism.

exactly, where are people getting minimalism from? she never says to get rid of stuff unless that stuff is in the way of you being happy and productive. This is racist as hell, she literally tells people to cherish their beloved junk but we’re gonna talk over the little foreign lady and say she wants us to go full…

The following day, he went on a Tinder date with another woman with the body of Ms Millane still in the apartment.

THANK YOU.

It is grotesque that they are referring to her killer as her “ex”. He’s an ex because she isn’t alive anymore, what the actual fuck. Also the kink community is pretty hardcore about safety, and the biggest thing they depend on is trust. This is not kink gone wrong, as he clearly didn’t give a shit about her afterwards…

That is exactly what her website says, and what she herself says constantly. But the author of this post had a point to make, so why bother with details?

This is a really, really cynical article that also misrepresents what Marie Kondo said. She didn’t tell people to get rid of everything, or even most things. She doesn’t want everyone to have a minimalist life with only a handful of possessions. She just wants people to be mindful or whether or they ACTUALLY want…

Mari Kondo has built an empire convincing people that they could be happier if they just get rid of nearly everything in their homes by emotionally recognizing the value of the item, thanking it, and letting it go on to some other life.

Under the guidance of the KonMari method, I and thousands of others submitted to the belief that happiness and a sense of mental clarity can be attained by having less and keeping only the items that “spark joy.”
