amanda palmer's open poem to jonathan chait (and other crimes)

Uuuugh this is going to be so ugly, isn't it?

Not sure which was more off-putting, Amanda's patreon post or literally the first reply to Neil's tweet about it being some rando posting a gif from Labyrinth of "Should you need us, for any reason at all...".

They're both going to turn their respectively awful fanbases on each other, aren't they?

don't catastrophize -- it will be ok
we don't actually have to pay attention to these people! i think it's important to remember that

i'm still miffed that she has besmirched the name of amandas worldwide

lol what if there was an amanda class action suit filed against her

what she really wants is Amanda Hugankiss

I liked a couple of things Neil wrote, quite a while back, but any remnant of goodwill from those has been lost by his constant shilling of masterclass courses and enabling of this bullshit.

she is kinda the human embodiment of the new fb "cares" react

lethally otm

hoo boy

I always forget Neil Gaimen blocked me on Twitter for talking shit about them "selling hugs" to fans

Dan did u sing with her in college xp

we don't actually have to pay attention to these people! i think it's important to remember that

Sure we don't have to but can we still for the MJpopcorn.gif

I am not going to talk any shit about her marriage ending because that shit is super hard and he left her; she didn’t take the kid away from him. That is tough.

I also know that oversharing is her brand so I can’t really fault her for processing this the way she processes everything even though every bone in my body is screaming “WHAT ARE YOU DOING, NO JUST SHUT UP, YOU DON’T ACTUALLY HAVE TO WRITE ABOUT THIS” because… it’s apparent she does. I feel for her and I don’t want to know any more about what’s going on because I shouldn’t know more about her divorce than her kid.

every month, all patreon creators lose a percentage of their patrons because credit cards are declined for one reason or another.

i usually lose a few hundred people.

this month ESPECIALLY, please make sure your account is up to date. we need you.

kind of fascinated to see how the kid turns out

That poor child — I hope they are emancipated ASAP tbh

this is going to produce such hilarious content i can't wait

does the patreon have to break up with him too? is that where her soul lives now?

.

aw man, i didn't know they had a kid.

She looks really nice with her greying temples and her normal eyebrows

No snark I was reading about all this and saw a couple photos of her and was like 'wow she is aging really beautifully'

Yeah, I feel bad that there's a kid involved, but neither one of these people has ever been a day in the park and one is absolutely reprehensible so my schadenfreude is (slightly) dampened.

beauty is skin deep, but ...

I was actually surprised that it took her so long to do something "newsworthy"

My first thought was that she was feeling upstaged by the pandemic.

I don't bear them any ill will. She's just so relentlessly much.

My first thought was that she was feeling upstaged by the pandemic.

wow lolll

Gaiman’s older kids turned out alright by all accounts - raging narcissism aside, he seems like a pretty good dad.

My guess is he left their kid in NZ because it’s genuinely safer for him to be there than in the UK but wow how bad must things be if he’s willing to get on a plane in the middle of a pandemic just to get away from Amanda Palmer. And not only did she write about it on her Patreon, she also posted the link in a reply to Neil’s tweet just to make sure all his followers saw it too lol.

very excited to see helena bonham carter play the vampire based on amanda palmer in the tim burton movie based on the neil gaiman book based on their divorce

the logical endpoint here is amanda palmer getting together with elon musk and neil gaiman dating grimes

so like "be gaiman, do grimes"?

instant fp

accepted

lol

Aaaahahahaha MattK I salute you.

Kudos

this reinforces my visceral lizard-brain repellence at a salutation like "hey loves" or "my darlings" or "dearest dearhearts" or any sort of hyper-affectionate opener to a newsletter. being lumped into "group of people who love me" by any person makes me feel so gross!
she makes my skin crawl :(

she is kinda the human embodiment of the new fb "cares" react

hope and prayers

My first thought was that she was feeling upstaged by the pandemic.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Birds gotta swim, fish gotta fly

AP gotta say me me me

popping in from extended (indefinite) hiatus to say ahahahahahaha

it literally took grimes half a day to in turn entirely upstage her. full pro

jeez, the faux tattoo baby pic musk tweeted is very yikes

uh, excuse me, why are you posting about musk on the AMANDA PALMER thread??

open goal there

please someone ... take the shot

Amanda Palmer’s musk bottled and sold to her creepy patrons

why are we assuming this is the end of the marriage and not just another dramatic gesture in the never-ending stream of dramatic gestures

That's more her style than his, and moving to the UK from New Zealand in May 2020 seems like a lot of trouble to go to for a dramatic gesture.

I too would leave one of the safest places in the world for one of the most dangerous in order to get away from Amanda Palmer

all i can say is that i’m heartbroken, i really am profoundly struggling and i need to call my community to me like never before.‬ i need you to update your credit card information and if you got stimulus money from your government, consider upping your tier?
