Does the entire Innocent Smoothies aesthetic strike you as deeply fucking irritating?

Feel like this is related if not quite the same thing.

Solange?

is the moonrise kingdom themed 1st birthday party already on here

this aesthetic is fine for actual babies

holy crap that woman looks exactly like a friend of mine. As in I showed my husband that picture and he thought I was tricking him somehow. I'm pretty sure she has neither kid nor blog though.
I guess spunking that much money and time when you have a 1-year-old is just about justifiable if pictures of it on your highly irritating blog is what's paying the bills

First birthday parties, like designer baby clothes, are strictly an indulgence for the parents' benefit. Which is fine if that's what you're into, just think people should be clear with themselves.

oh man that was a quality hate-read

pictures of it on your highly irritating blog is what's paying the bills

I have no sense of the economics involved here; can people actually make a lot of money doing this? How?

His expression in the photo of him in the ball pool holding the balloon says a lot.

Odd decision to make all the links, which is where I guess the money comes from, very pale pink on white

i can't imagine spending that much time, effort, and money on a party for a baby. are these people rich?

lmao her name is toff

oh fuck

5/ This morning she woke up to a hateful comment on her blog. Then more appeared. One compared my wife and I to ISIS (wtf?)

If you put out content like that - including a public twitter account for an actual baby on a platform that's renowned for abuse (and which the dad works/worked at by the looks of it) - maybe you should know better than to actively look to see what people are saying about you
I'm sure people are being vile and it's hugely unfair but switch on moderation on your blog comments and stop being surprised that people might react badly to rich white smugness

"I thought I understood Twitter hate, now I actually get it"

I sincerely, genuinely, do not understand how someone can be like these people. Like how do their brains actually work? I guess that is one way they are like ISIS, in that I can't genuinely comprehend the brain process/mental framework of a religious fundamentalist terrorist either.

his twitter bio:

virtual reality @google. formerly GM @vine, director of product mgmt @twitter, and product @youtube.

that's what made me o_O like maybe you may have heard about people being unpleasant on the internet. Some of them even make mean jokes! let alone the prolonged abuse campaigns and rape threats that twitter is famous for

from the baby birthday blogger blog:

Disclaimer: I hate that I'm putting this here, but I felt compelled to respond to the hateful, derogatory comments being made about me, my family and this post.

I started blogging as a creative outlet, as a place where I could go to say and share what I like and love and who I care deeply about. My blog, the tiny little corner of the Internet that I felt like I personally carved out, became my safe space, my refuge and my home, especially when life got tough. It became very, deeply personal to me. It was not just a space on the Internet for me. It was my space on the Internet.

who puts open public comment boxes and monetiziation links in their deeply personal space???

How dare you

the tumblr one caek posted is killing me

beep beep!

I don't condone people being hateful or piling on others, but if you do something as a public creative venture... isn't that a thing people analyze critically? If it's a safe space then make it friend-only, or invite-only.

reminds me of the early days of irc where half the channels were people welcoming you to the virtual bar or (oh god) hot tub, looking for friendly chat, and the other half were people destroying your words until you bowed to their weird social norms

the innocent smoothies ppl are definitely "chill in the virtual hot tub" ppl

*plop*

not looking forward to the Innocent Smoothie aesthetic fascism era

@innocent
1,000 purged in one night. a lot of naughty boys and girls out there!

the non-fash countercharge to this has to be as non-innocent-smoothie as possible

'fuck arron banks' is quite a good name for a news organisation

'fuck arron banks' is quite a good name for a nightmarish full-immersion virtual reality experience where players must seduce and sexually satisfy the portly leave.eu cofounder

"Your best work is yet to come. Pinkie swear and fist bumps."

found out that anglo-saxon literature is full of objects that talk e.g. inscriptions on caskets written from the POV of the casket, unrelated to the engravings underneath, so all this "hi, i am made from 100% recycled plastic" biz is actually highly traditional

I'm guessing that the anthropomorphic caskets of anglo-saxon literature are generally not so annoyingly chirpy, though

I take it this was produced by Team Heinous on the next series of the Apprentice.

FFS! Someone deserves neck torture for that shit!

Every day I stare at this in the shower and puzzle over what they could possibly mean by "not really"

I suppose they mean there are not actually three men in that tub of shower scrub?

Or is it just a "We're not gay really" message?

Now you've got me pondering.
