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

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?

Stigmatizing of bpd people sucks

that is very true and i despise that such a book exists; nonetheless i feel that of the two eponymous personality disorders, that might not be the one in play

this is definitely an art project on how people perceive men and women in breakups

good call and i will owe you five dollars when the performance is named

It's named "Can I have five dollars?"

i despise that such a book exists

why? people with BPD and/or narcissism are often really damaged/damaging in relationships and do not take break ups well -- like that's part of the disorder. Considering there are books with helpful advice for partners/former partners of depressed people, alcoholics, victims of childhood sexual abuse ... it isn't saying "people with these issues are evil" just that their mental health problems often make the already difficult task of ending relationships even more difficult.

going to be really funny if he left a kindle linked to his account behind in nz and it was her reading it

i am certain that she still has loyal nerdbro fans from her early Boston days that could hack his shit for her.

MIT grads, Harvard grads -- C.S. degrees and fondness for RPGs -- Gaiman is going down

Idk Amanda Palmer and Anonymous are two concepts that don’t jibe

lol

i'm glad they're splitting, it means I can feel better about liking Gaiman now.

same, but for ap

what a timeless love story this was

lol at Neil and his request for privacy, if you want privacy then marrying and then breaking up with Amanda Palmer must be the worst possible way to go about it.

Gaimen leaving his child in the middle of a pandemic is really horrible

^^^ yeah, regardless of how this went down I keep coming back to that and feeling really sad for everyone involved

otm x2

it makes sense if you’re rich. Maybe he felt like his other properties were feeling lonely.
