my favourite thing to do is to tell my friends about the wild things victor hugo did and see the look of shock and horror in their faces bc they only know him as the great author who wrote les mis and hunchback and not as the man who gave his fiancee a live bat in an envelope
In an attempt to rush Trump’s tax bill, Republicans are defunding CHIP, a program that protects 9 million children.
Although states do help fund the program, most of the cost is subsidized
by the federal government. Federal funds have already begun to run out,
which means the health care coverage of millions of children will
expire as early as December 2017 in some states, and in the early months
of 2018 for others.
What will happen to approximately 9 million children currently covered
by CHIP?
In some states, thousands of letters have already been sent out
to parents to inform them that their coverage may end in 2018. Even if
Congress decides to renew CHIP in the coming months, the damage has
already been done…
hi! your english is fine, dont worry about that. heres my response:
im fully aware that the voltron social media accounts are managed by very real people, who i think its safe to assume, are adults. i highly doubt they pay attention to comments made by people in the fandom, ive never seen the tumblr respond to one, and the twitter maybe once.
even if the comments are read, i doubt even more that the person running the account takes them personally. im not entirely sure how social media accounts for shows and corporations work, but im pretty sure the person posting the stuff doesnt decide on their own what to post, and i doubt that me, an angry 15 year old, is going to have absolutely any effect on them and their daily life. what i said had about the same impact of @ing the mcdonalds twitter and telling it to die, as in, it would literally have no effect.
also, im not sure where i ever blamed death baiting on sha/adins. i havent mentioned that anywhere on my blog in a long, long time, so im not really sure what youre referring to in that last bit
“I don’t think the person I told to die is gonna take it personally”
Hi! Um, I’m someone who has handled social media for various organizations for a living, so I wanted to respond to this.
First: every organizational social media account reads every comment. It’s part of the job description. I have never worked on an account where the expectation wasn’t that every comment would be read, even if responding wasn’t an expectation.
Second: while it is almost certainly an adult doing this, it’s still never a nice feeling to have that kind of vitriol directed at you! Especially because there’s every chance that the social media manager works closely with the voltron team, which isn’t a huge group. They probably care about the show just like you! Basically, if you wouldn’t say it to a retail workers face, don’t say it to a corporate social media account.
Third: I don’t know about their account specifically, but in some of my jobs if somebody made a threatening comment or an outright threat I had to go through a logging process for legal reasons.
Fourth: have you….. ever tweeted at McDonald’s? They respond to EVERYTHING. They find you ifyou mention them. It might not ruin anyone’s day entirely if you threatened the McDonald’s account, but you can bet that they’d see it and know.
I’m confused about this kind of mentality because if they think their words don’t have any impact, why are they so fixated on telling people to die to the point where they defend it? Why would you do a thing if you thought it didn’t have any effect, and then turn around and pretend this is for a cause? If nothing comes of it, how does it benefit a cause?
