Likability does not mean sweet. Please remember that. Plenty of people can be likable and assholes at the same time.

Is Glitter and Greed a documentary or a Smear Campaign?

Is Glitter and Greed a documentary or a Smear Campaign?

I watched the Lisa Frank Documentary and almost stopped about five different times because it mostly consists of interviews with the ex-husband and his alleged mistress. The Amazon Prime documentary delves into the business practices of the beloved retro icon. But I think there are two stories going on here and something more sinister being hidden that the public doesn’t know and might not ever…

It occurs to me that living in a conservative state where people have guns is not doing wonders for my rage issues and is why I shout online. I need to fucking move and not be broke so I can move.

I shit you not I just saw someone comment “we didn’t need to make a famous white person black”

ABOUT THE FUCKING WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST. WHO IS FAMOUSLY GREEN.

The only part I believe of this documentary is the employee's stories talking about the work environment and the influencers who worked with Lisa Frank.

[crescentcampbell]

Oh no, I don't trust this at all. The woman even EMPLOYEES thought was having an affair with her husband is claiming Lisa Frank called her and said she wanted the company sold meanwhile her son talked about how much she hated that same woman in another interview. Yeah, this whole thing is gross. I believe the employees that worked there saying their experiences were terrible---but it isn't Lisa that made it terrible. It's the ex-husband spewing his guts at the camera.

.... Okay, so in discussing smear campaigns, I would take the Glitter and Greed: Lisa Frank documentary with a grain of salt as it is largely made using her ex-husband. The whole thing feels weird. The employees talk about how badly they were treated, but it was her husband managing them, and she was "working from home" supposedly, and only came in at certain times....and was described as once erratically crying in the office on one of those visits....

Listen, Wickie and Nick should have dated and I'm forever upset we never got to see that play out.

And I cannot stress this enough: money and power enable abusers to continue doing what they are doing. They can hide behind celebrity, or status. Stop employing these assholes. It legitimizes them.

[crescentcampbell]

Even if Hilarie Burton and Sophia Bush somehow managed to buy the rights for One Tree Hill, you know who gets that money? Mark Schwahn. Also, every time you stream One Tree Hill, he gets money. A reboot will continue to put money and power into his hands. I think it is great they want work together and create a safe set. But I would create something new that Mark Schwahn doesn't benefit from. You can bring back the actors you enjoyed working with, you can even make it a WB style teen drama but modernized or hell, set it in the 2000s even, maybe even with indirect nods to the show. But don't do something that is going to make that man money.

Why there shouldn't be a One Tree Hill Reboot

Why there shouldn't be a One Tree Hill Reboot.

I grew up watching One Tree Hill. I was obsessed with it. The music I listened to, the art I drew, and the graphics I made were all about One Tree Hill. There’s One Tree Hill fanfiction high school me wrote still floating around where I crossed it over with Gilmore Girls. I had the soundtracks, I had the cast pictures on my wall. The first novel I ever tried writing was written in the style of…

Maxton Hall

Maxton Hall.

One of my favorite shows that I watched this year was a show called Maxton Hall. It’s your typical rich kids at a boarding school haves-and have nots coming of age story, complete with a regular girl, Ruby Bell, and her intense rivalry with the terrible but everyone loves him anyway, James Beaufort. The show is a German language show, based off of a book called Save Me by Mona Kasten. Anyway, I…

How Fake Nice Guys Fool Everyone

There’s a certain type of male that is somehow worse than the ones that are explicitly assholes to women. While those men are by no means off the hook for their behavior, Fake Nice Guys pretend to care. Justin Baldoni is a fake nice guy. He did all of the right things. He was an advocate for women, for victims of abuse, and tried to create a whole image where women felt safe around him. And it…

As a rule of thumb, don't reblog donation posts or people asking for donations unless they've been vetted and reblogged by Palestinian bloggers. We usually go to lengths to verify this shit because we know scammers have been faking to get people to send them money, using the urgency of our genocide as bait.

It's disgusting this is what we're dealing with, but people are losing money because of some truly evil people out there.

Accounts don't just randomly spring up on tumblr without gofundmes while asking for someone to help them create a campaign. Fuck out of here with that shit.
