Excellent thread and quote threads to read.
Thread.
Shitty people can make good and even great art. Likewise, dropping a favorite artist after you realize you can no longer support them can feel like a divorce or a friend breakup because they and their work were just that important to you. That shit hurts, even when it's necessary for you.

A tough one to sit with--but we must--is that some people's ability to make good art in part derived from, or was protected by, the fact that they were enabling or doing terrible things. See also: We Need to Talk about Cosby doc. Even more troubling on this score: Read deep reporting on Alice Munro

Welp, just told the husband about this (he loves Tate's and ordered online many times plus getting some in the regular grocery shopping) and he said "Guess I need to find a new cookie to get now."

"Employees tell the news station that the company, which largely employs undocumented workers at its Southampton shop, has been harassing staffers and “telling them that if their documents are not in order and they attempted to join the labor union they would get deported "
A friend recently bought me these Tiny Tates Gluten Free cookies and they're pretty delicious. I googled them to see where I could buy more but instead this popped up.
Gross. Evil.
I'll find another sweet treat.

I might need to find my old login information to see if I can back everything up. Maybe. It's been ages since I've even looked at LJ but I used it a lot at one point in time.
Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:
