While looking for a photo of the Main Heroine taming a horse (a painfully obvious metaphor, I know, but my brain went there immediately), I stumbled across several shots from the early seasons that were so beautiful, so painterly, that each of them deserved to be framed.

A palate cleanser.

. . . Sometimes I need a reminder of why I'm here in the first place. And, more importantly, for whom.

And that it has absolutely nothing to do with the compulsive petting of horse muzzles for social media content.

Well something I wanted to put into perspective for you all.

She says in her post “After a particularly hard day last year, where grief seemed to come back in the form of a tsunami, I reminded my daughter that she can always ask for signs from people (and animals) that have passed on... the next day, while walking home from the beach, she stopped by a small patch of clovers and asked for a four leafed clover as a sign”

Sounds like a tough time for this poor child, thing is maybe she forgets she went public on Nov 9 for us to see her posts. She posted when her daughter found that clover which was Nov 16 (stories were saved with the date in the file name)

She then kicked everyone out on Nov 17.

After her daughter was struggling and they had such a lovely moment I’d like to remind everyone she proceeded to leave her daughter in Ireland and was in SUA on Nov 22 hanging at the pub with Sam and Sofia (you can go back check dates on bcac’s account)

Attended the Harley expo with Sam as she posted and stories were leaked on Nov 23 (I’m not posting hers)

Stayed past the weekend to hang around while Sam worked and then was spotted with Cait and Tony on Nov 25 (again not posting her) and was in attendance on Nov 26 for the Sir Ian and Dame Judy evening.

So 5 days after witnessing her young daughter having a tsunami of grief she left her behind in Ireland for AT LEAST 6 days.

I am appalled by her bullshit games, her manipulation to look like some higher power of knowledge of ANYTHING when she’s now admitted that her daughter was suffering with grief and she was just too busy to stick around and be with her in that time.

At this point, I don’t think the question is whether Tumblr is being read. It obviously is. By who exactly doesn’t even matter anymore, because the pattern is consistent: Tumblr points at the weak spot, and then a post appears that seems designed to patch it.

A month ago it was the birthday collage, last week it was the thumbs and the hats. People questioned whether it was really her, and then hours later came the selfie. Now it was the dog, the sunglasses, the doubt, and right on schedule, the repost.

So the real question is: why are we still handing them the talking points?

Every time this corner of Tumblr gets loud, it functions like a free focus group. We highlight the hole, they plug it. Usually badly, but still. And the timing makes it even more obvious. The Josh sketch and bloopers reignited the Sam and Cait discourse, and on cue, we get a Steph breadcrumb right when the conversation gets too loud.

I completely understand why people want to talk or vent or just joke about it. It’s exhausting, and humor helps. But if the public dash is being used as a live workshop for this narrative, then maybe the smartest move is to move the conversations elsewhere. DMs, group chats, private communities, whatever works.
