Jeffree has made a handful of apologies, but still performs continual microagressions. Also, he has never apologized for his rampant misogyny. The fact that people still support him so publicly (like Tati) or vehemently says a lot to me about those people.

James, Jeffree, and Tati—none of them deserve their followings.

They are both a mess, and Jeffree makes the trifecta. None of them deserve their followings.

Yes, she isn’t the “Queen” or the internet’s hero for this. She was fine with him (and has been fine with Jeffree) in spite of all the things—the ebola comments, the transphobia, the using of his platform to bully, the use of his platform to coerce people into physical contact, etc., but NOW all of a sudden she has to…

Right! Like, she was fine with him all along until she wasn’t, just like she is with Jeffree. He’s been a mess for a while, but up until last week had 16 mil followers, many of them famous or YouTube famous.

Tati and Jeffree aren’t saviors, and James was awful way before how.

She’s obviously okay with a lot of problematic behaviors aside from what she called out for JC (and, again, suspiciously timed). She can go, too.

Also, if you watch the actual livestream (not recordings of it), he keeps jumping up in pockets of followers at a time and then it instantly starts ticking down again. Folks who know about things like that have been saying it appears as though he has bought followers—apparently, purchased followers don’t just show up…

I’m happy to see him go down (though he has been problematic for some time and it seems convenient that Tati was only ‘fed up’ after the vitamin thing).
BUT
Jeffree has been the worst person for 10+ years running and Tati condones Jeffree’s misogynistic and racist behavior by remaining his very public buddy, so…

I know you don’t, baby.

I think the people who are holding Lizzo high the most as a body positivity icon are people who need that icon. It isn’t her responsibility to be that for them, but they are going to find her and support her for it because that is what they need. 

Show us the comments you’ve left all over the internet on pages of women who have 4 diet cokes and a tic tac as their daily meal to maintain their size if you’re super concerned about Lizzo’s weight.

You can’t.

Lizzo’s trajectory on this makes the most sense to me. First of all, she’s been around for a while but this level of national attention is new to her. She isn’t as nuanced as someone like Ariana or Justin should be, having grown up navigating mega fame and the media machine.

Aside from that, though, and honestly my…

Outside of the east coast/west coast rap situation in the 90s, who can think of a contemporary, comparable example of men in music who have to deal with this constant pitting of one against the other the way that women do? I’m trying to think of who else has to deal with this shit and I’m going blank.

I find it annoying how people can extrapolate context and meanings from all sorts of things without additional prompting, but the Kondo “spark joy” makes folks suddenly 100% literal and pedantic.

No, a practical thing doesn’t make your knees weak, but in Kondo-land, “spark joy” isn’t just what makes you grin from ear…

I didn’t get the feeling from this documentary that this is the last traditionally Beyonce-styled Beyonce show she is doing. She said she wouldn’t push herself from 210 pounds and a c-section to doing an endurance trial like this in the space of 8 months again, but I never got the sense from her that this is the last…

I was lost down a YouTube rabbit hole not long ago and found someone (I can’t remember who) doing a whole 10 minute riff on the types of tucks and why it is a bad fashion move to do the full, all the way around tuck for anything short of a suit.

I liked the idea of it and tried all of them. The problem I kept facing…

I feel like this is the apex of Trump’s utter mental oblivion:
A man who sits in WASHINGTON DC complaining that Washington didn’t put his name on a property. 

Maybe parents who have to deal with her influence more regularly have a different, frustrated take, but in a world where girls are sexualized younger and younger, I’m kind of okay with this 16 year old girl loving bows, tacky clothes, and generally running around being dorky, excited, and 16. Even if it is her BRAND…

I thank you for your boundless compassion, citizen.

Shit-ass dudes and incels pretty much ruin everything. I’m not even a YouTuber or an influencer, but I made a comment on something Kamala Harris posted on Twitter not long ago. Some MAGATs came back at me and instead of fighting, I replied with gifs of laughter or dancing. One of them sent a message to my Facebook…

At this point, McConnell has repeatedly violated the oath of his office and overstepped his position.  Can’t he be censured or suspended?
