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

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.

that's it, folks. im never listening to music ever again.

jeezo beezo that's bad

Comments are amazing

I wonder what it would do to my personality if everything I did were greeted with hundreds of comments like that. Seriously, I think it would change me.

insofar as the computer geeks have taken over the world, perhaps it's just as well that the theatre nerds have yet to

Literally beyond parody, the singularity of narcissism

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.

noooooooooooooooooooooo
she has soiled the good name of amandas everywhere enough!

Amanda Palmer and Substack: water finding its level

a crowd-sourced, everybody talk, conversation salon

long walk to say a chatroom

Clusterfuck: The Newsletter

ohhhh its a “salon”? (rmde)

conversation salon

any time someone says there's a q&a at an event i will be like "oh you mean a conversation salon"

web 2.0, crowdsource the content, privatise the profits yes baybeeee

lol brad

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.

maybe it’s hosted on Jeremy Renner’s social media app?

that would bump it up to an easy 4/10

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!!!

effortless trolling, it is like an art, she should sell a series of seminars (because peeps wld get mad and it wld be funny)

I’m still back on the time she chewed on things and auctioned them off to her fans

just a rehash of one of her original controversies (crowdsourcing her string sections and not paying them for their labor). i give it a C-

Is it a coincidence she and Chait announced Substacks on the same day or do the Substack masters read ILX?

I don't dare look back through the thread to find out, but has she done NFTs yet?

shhh, dammit

I would buy an NFT of her eyebrows

she called a fucking advice column a “conversation salon” come on

-welcome to The Advice Bureau
-uh its just a roomful of ppl talking over each other
-yes. great, isnt it?
- how do i get advice
- lets table that for now, hmm?

is 77 a salon?

a toilet that you shout into

In hearings that to a song but I can’t think of what song it is

a toilet that you shout into

it is with great pride that i present to you... The Internet

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.

It's over

Regret to inform you all that she took a powerful lesson from Sinead O'Connor as well - it's the same lesson as always: never wonder "Am I the asshole?"
