I feel a little embarrassed to admit it, but I actually teared up when I saw this. One reason is because his photography is one of the many things I've missed about his presence on social media. He's always had such a good eye and shares so many interesting images.
Another reason is it feels like he's truly back. When he posted his first story a couple of weeks ago, I wasn't sure if it was going to become a regular thing or it was just a drive-by posting. Even with his subsequent posts, I'm not sure if it really felt like he was back...but now it truly does. It feels like he's finally made it out of this dark tunnel and he can finally be free again. And, after all the misery that SM has brought him, that he's choosing to share these little moments with us, truly feels like a tiny miracle.
I think I might actually cry if he starts posting song recs again. 😊
don’t you feel ashamed being an adult and analyzing every action of 2 men who don’t know you? don’t you have hobbies or a relationship to tend to??? why are you so fixated on the private lives of strangers?
Hello, Anon:
Really, now.
Why are you so fixated on mine? 😜
Adults are allowed to have interests independent of other adults’ opinions about them. Adults can also have passion for their own harmless interests without shame or embarrassment from other adults who should be grown enough to know how to mind their own business.
But if you must know, I am, indeed, exceedingly fortunate to be in a committed, long-term relationship with a wonderful grown adult who I have loved for my entire grown adult life, and who I continue to love with my entire grown adult being. I enjoy grown adult hobbies like home renovation, gardening, entertaining friends and family, and creating fashion and art, all of which I enjoy doing with my own grown adult hands. I also love to travel, and am always up for serendipitous, grown adult adventures.
I have neither the time nor inclination to fixate or analyze on anyone in the ways that you’re implying, Anon. I also have no shame in enjoying a wide variety of grown adult interests with which to occupy my limited time on this planet, including blogging and reblogging about Charmie. If you feel shame about it, that’s on you.
If you are a fully-grown adult without passion for your own life, perhaps you should reconsider the choices you’ve made for yourself and focus less on criticizing what brings joy to other people, especially the things that have no impact whatsoever on the quality of your own life.
Finally, a legitimate news source calling out this situation for what it is.
It’s fascinating to hear the media use the evidence and language we ourselves in this fandom have been using in defense of Armie Hammer on social media. Holding this two-year long vigil may finally have opened the eyes that needed to see this situation for exactly what it is.
Armie Hammer is the victim of defamation by opportunists perverting the original intentions of #metoo and #believewomen in the virtual town square for their own selfish, nefarious purposes by exploiting those among the general public who love nothing more than to throw a rich and famous man with perceived privileges under the nearest bus, just because they can.
The perversion of #MeToo in the name of faux-militant feminist ideology is driving this popular online movement of indicting and condemning famous men in the court of public opinion without legitimate evidence of criminal wrongdoing, without the presumption of innocence, without due process, and without the possibility of redemption in any form.
Hammer’s accusers, as well as his ex-wife, recognized the window of opportunity presenting itself in the post-Weinstein zeitgeist, and climbed right in, in the search for the 15 minutes of internet fame to which they assumed they were guaranteed, and to which they felt wholly entitled, by any means necessary.
All it takes is one biased source with a fragile ego and a personal vendetta using gullible people mindlessly consuming internet content without due diligence or critical thinking skills to accept their even marginally plausible lies as if they were facts and spreading them like wildfire about their target on the internet. All the better for instant believability without the requirements of facts and evidence, if their lies come spewing forth from Instagram-ready, artificially-enhanced, telegenic faces.
People really are that simple. And the rush to judgment is what makes the internet go ‘round, after all.
We must aim to be more mindful and responsible consumers and creators of content on social media, lest we end up eating ourselves, as a functional and civil society.
I know there’s a short clip from this going around, but honestly the whole part about Armie is worth listening to. It speaks so much to who he is by someone who’s known him for a long time and came to him by some rather unconventional means. The video is divided into chapters, Armie’s is at 7:10 and is a little more than 10 minutes long altogether.
