i mean, that's probably in there too, had i scrolled farther, but no. it's no surprise that YouTube comments are a cesspool, but it's not like these are offensive in the traditional sense, rather offensive and terrifying in that there is apparently some alternate layer of reality superimposed on ours in which Amanda Palmer is the epitome of creative genius and this song is the most powerful artistic creation ever uploaded to the internet.

Ok, that is obviously extremely "on the nose," but I think that may be the best thing that Amanda Palmer has ever done. I don't think it's "creative genius", but it's not the worst idea in the world and they executed it pretty well. Additionally, I really like the natural eyebrow look as opposed to her trademark artsy doodle thing.

Amanda Palmer is many things: musician and Dresden Dolls lead singer, writer, performer, activist, mom, and self-described “happy and hyper-social weirdo who likes making feelings into art.” Starting in February, she’ll be adding Substack Writer in Residence to her long list of creative pursuits with the debut of her new publication, Ask Amanda.…Amanda’s new publication will explore the possibilities of the direct relationship between a writer and reader community with a fresh spin on the advice column format that she calls “a crowd-sourced, everybody talk, conversation salon, kicked off by questions from you” and accompanied by original artwork from longtime collaborator Sarah Beetson.

I've learned to brace myself for the worst when this thread gets bumped, but this was disappointingly low on the APCES (Amanda Palmer Cringe Event Scale). I give it a 3 out of 10.

i think my most cherished amanda palmer byproduct is the consternation that arises whenever she pulls another innocuous stunt. omg she’s writing a column o no!!!

i went to two conversation salons earlier today, except they were called meetings. she should like set up a zoom room or google hangout and charge people to enter and watch her check her email.
