I've written a few books, and I like to rant about gender and hyperlocal Minneapolis politics. Thorn in the side of the DFL: abetterdfl.org. Cat Dad. They/them. linktr.ee/dexanderson

I'm not necessarily defending TCP. I work in this field. I know it's a lot more complicated than that thread made it out to be and felt it worthwhile to note that there's probably more going on there than what was being said in the thread. I'm in favor of having the full context.

Welp, Fleur has blocked me now, so I guess we won't get anywhere.

It's literally just that this issue is way more complicated in ways the original thread did not have the nuance for, especially when naming specific people without context for their actions.

I totally understand that, I get it! What I'm saying is that it sounds like the people above you did not give you the context for the decisions they were making, which is bad management. But there's also a lot of stuff going on when orgs get donations like this that you might not know!

10.03.2026 16:46 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Okay. All I'm saying it's probably more complicated than what you're saying based on your experience.

10.03.2026 16:41 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I'm pushing back because I have knowledge of how these kinds of donations work on the agency side that it sounds like they were not necessarily privy to and I wanted to get to that information.

10.03.2026 16:38 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Okay, I can see you have your narrative. Best of luck.

Selling was a reference to the stores I work with.

All I'm saying is that this sounds like you weren't privy to a lot of the context behind the specific standards. There's a lot of laws governing donations like this.

There are any number of reasons to hate on corporate pride, but as someone who works at an org that deals with donated goods, I would like to suggest that there is perhaps more context here that you perhaps weren't privy to/didn't see.

10.03.2026 16:24 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Okay.

I work at an org that runs thrift stores, and we frequently have to toss stuff like that, too. 1. there's a legal liability with school names/orgs that makes it very tricky to keep/sell those. 2. Things with damage/holes/stains can't be kept.

10.03.2026 16:24 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 3 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

What are their standards? What kinds of things are they tossing out? I'd like a bit more specificity on this.

this bothers me SO MUCH. Showing abusive behavior in *fiction* does not mean you endorse said behavior. Having a character on screen do something clearly bad does not mean it endorses that behavior!

it's really fascinating how the problem of "i like them therefore Good" has simply gotten worse in the 20 years since i graduated college.

like there are a lot of people pissed about the new attending (spoiler) on the Pitt because "she's rude and she talks about AI and she's a bad character!" and like, BABES THAT'S ON PURPOSE do you think these characters just show up on accident????

09.03.2026 22:32 ๐Ÿ‘ 31 ๐Ÿ” 2 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 2

it's wild to read people attempting media critique when their criticism amounts to "I don't like this person and therefore they are a bad character."

BABES SOMETIMES CHARACTERS ARE UNLIKEABLE ON PURPOSE
