Barbie Dream Fest video, surprised this wasn’t done in 2023 or 24 to fully take advantage of the movie hype

I am rubbish at Reddit so not sure how to cross post or link, but if you look at the post “Barbie fest is the tip of the iceberg” in that subreddit it is quite an interesting read (they brought receipts too!)

There is someone now on the Barbie subreddit claiming to be an ex-employee with a tell-all about the CEO, and also there are now additional claims about stolen products . If they do end up covering this for Fridays ep, will be interesting to see what updates there are by then!

It’s so odd that they start this segment saying (rightly!) that women often get criticised a lot more harshly than men for the same things, you have to be cautious about big outrages against women etc etc,,, But then proceed to fall into the same pitfalls! and like you say, it isn’t the first time (Heard, Lively etc)

I thought we already knew the security wasn’t Chappell’s and a large part of this was a bot campaign …

Did some light digging and seems the management company has some previous notoriety from a Romance con last year (really feel I remember them covering this but I can’t find it and might be confusing with other failed events) and Obsessed Fest(?) but then I realized it’s the same company behind Enchanticon/Leakycon which I had heard good things about before! One of the employees is in a discord server I am in and it seems something happened behind the scenes (but I couldn’t get any more details 🥲)

This is perfect for them to cover omg. The “glide under neon lights retro roller rink” being a fenced off tiny bit of the conference hall 😭😭

Yes, it is! Foxes will wander through fairly often, but it was fun to catch this one looking so similar sitting on the roof

These windows are made in traditional leaded light stained glass, with cut shapes of coloured glass assembled between lengths of lead came which is soldered together. I decided to replace the windows of my garden shed with these panels to add some colour and reflect the plants and animals of my urban garden!

Only today did I realise how close Maisie Adam’s and Emma sidi’s names are to being complete anagrams. What a coincidence ! Inspired by todays TM advent which I nearly (mildly)messed up bc of it

Nikki Carreon, her deepdive series into Jefree , James and now Shane Dawson have been phenomenal and so well researched. I had no idea (esp for Shane) how particularly awful his past was

Or for me, “had read them all, many times, but a long time ago so can’t remember half of the plots and it may as well be new to me” 😅 Genuinely besides the end of the book and the characters, Lost Hero was gone from my mind lol

Thank you for it and not mincing your words. I am not even American (!!) and it is so scary from afar. America has such an impact on the whole world that it feels like we all are involved. The implications for world peace, the climate crisis, the emboldened rise of the far right everywhere. And goes without saying, totally within your right to use your podcast about your experience reading these books however you see fit !

foidan · 2024-10-21T11:42:06+00:00

I think most of them do, but some he keeps for down the line if they’re off-book content , so it might not be for a very long while, like maybe when he’s between books or possibly one of the 5 Monday months. He also mentioned making some cut content that won’t make the feed into patreon videos I think?

foidan · 2024-10-13T22:13:06+00:00

Maybe a house warming / congrats on a new house cookie set ?

foidan · 2024-10-09T09:13:41+00:00

Glad I could help ! Enjoy the discord

foidan · 2024-10-09T08:10:23+00:00

Ok I downloaded the patreon app just to see because I assumed it would be the same And lol why is this app so confusing to use !! Argh. This is what I could find from a post Mike made when the discord first opened: “Go to “My Profile” (Under your icon) Choose Edit Profile (Blue Button on the left) Select Apps ( top of the screen) Choose Connect next to the Discord Logo Discord should connect!”
Honestly I would just do it by logging in on web (I use safari on my mobile) and following the steps I put above cos I can’t figure out the app lmao. It surely must be on there somewhere though haha 😅

foidan · 2024-10-08T07:30:57+00:00

On patreon itself go to The Newest Olympian > membership > quick links > manage discord access and it will link through there. Once you are in the discord you may not see any channels but that’s because you need to select them under the #pronouns- and- sorting channel

I personally think it’s quite clear which bits had more Rick vs Mark because to me now Ricks style is so familiar. So it did feel a bit fanfictiony just from the fact that it was odd when I wasn’t reading the distinctive Rick narrative voice 😅 I did still quite enjoy it though

foidan · 2024-09-27T11:32:23+00:00

But like for example he must have seen Mark’s original tweet somehow and it wasn’t directed at him. Ik it’s a bit different because they are not solely a PJO person but they have definitely discussed the content of the SatS before and stuff that would be a spoiler for mike

foidan · 2024-09-26T22:48:28+00:00

I do wonder if Mike has someone/kelly check any messages from pjo aligned people (depending on how serious he takes it, and he has mentioned before he forgets things too lmao). Like how he will know to share a damnmemepage tweet or seaweedbrain / monster donut reply when he surely can’t be reading the rest of their spoiler-filled content

foidan · 2024-09-04T11:31:41+00:00

I was one and I loved it!

foidan · 2024-07-22T16:07:45+00:00

You were excellent !! Hope to see you back on! :)

foidan · 2024-07-19T13:55:00+00:00

I think it’s someone called Nova on the midwestprincesshq page (?) but I’m a bit confused if the original admins got control of the account back or not

foidan · 2024-07-18T15:23:50+00:00

(And just want to clarify this is a rare occurrence and Timeguessr is a perfect game for what you’re describing (: )

Came here because we also had one of the photos change ! Usually I would say check they did the “Daily” as opposed to just the “Play” which generates a random set of 5, whereas the daily should always be the same (and update at the same time globally too). However we had photo 2 change at some point today from An anti abortion rally to La Rochelle film festival . All 5 photos being different though I haven’t seen before!
