This is me, trying to get it together, figure life out, and watch a lot of television. Doable, right?

@SecretDeodorant WHERE ARE THE PLASTIC FREE ANTIPERSPIRANT REFILLS??? I would like to demand them please

[Amber Jackson @RookieAdult]

@thrillout @latimes Oooh, this is a very good point. I agree.
So far, in my agree bucket are:
1. She wasn’t on theme.
2. She disregarded the mission.
3. The uncorroborated possibility that Marilyn wanted no one else to wear this dress.

[Amber Jackson @RookieAdult]

@dallowayR @latimes You haven’t said why. You haven’t said a single reason why we shouldn’t do those things. So you have no take, no argument, only insults. Try again.

[Amber Jackson @RookieAdult]

@CorcosSarah @orangeslices17 @BastTheDevourer @pinkkatydid @Kwatts7304 @latimes Sorry, that was heated, but I just saw the video footage of when she wore the dress, and if someone sang at my man like that, for all of América to see, I would be HEATED.

[Amber Jackson @RookieAdult]

@CorcosSarah @orangeslices17 @BastTheDevourer @pinkkatydid @Kwatts7304 @latimes I understand that. I get it. She could have stretched, ripped, burned this dress. It’s a dress. Without the dress, we still have the incredibly disrespectful rendition of happy birthday sung to the married man she was having an affair with & we still have her lexicon of work.

[Amber Jackson @RookieAdult]

@orangeslices17 @BastTheDevourer @pinkkatydid @Kwatts7304 @latimes Ok? You probably can buy them at the thrift store. They are clothes.

[Amber Jackson @RookieAdult]

@timotheous_ @latimes I just watched this historic moment… I’m actually disgusted. I think it was inappropriate. If I was JFK’s wife, I would have been extremely insulted and embarrassed. So all this to protect a dress that was worn almost as an insult to Jackie O… I’m done.

[Amber Jackson @RookieAdult]

@BastTheDevourer @orangeslices17 @pinkkatydid @Kwatts7304 @latimes It’s not anyones. Marilyn is dead. She has no opinions on this and no clothes either. I’m very good with words, no reason to be insulting. That degrades you more than me. My point is wearing someone else’s clothes is not disrespect. I don’t care who owned them.

[Amber Jackson @RookieAdult]

@orangeslices17 @pinkkatydid @Kwatts7304 @latimes Sure, but it’s not disrespectful to wear someone’s clothes. You may think she doesn’t deserve to wear her clothes, but that is your opinion

[Amber Jackson @RookieAdult]

@ScottieBeam What, why???? Who would want that??? Why do we have that?????

[Amber Jackson @RookieAdult]

@iiiiiiiiitsDrew @Suziealto @latimes Beethoven’s original manuscripts? I mean, nice to have, but yeah, if we have pictures/ replicas, im not going to be disappointed at the Beethoven museum. The point is the music, the impact, not the totems.

[Amber Jackson @RookieAdult]

@iiiiiiiiitsDrew @Suziealto @latimes I mean, w/ art, I’d be worried about losing the layers underneath, & the ability to learn from the strokes/details of the piece. But:
- imagine museums if works by old white men did take up space where new artists could go?
-plenty of da Vinci in storage containers/someone’s home

[Amber Jackson @RookieAdult]

@MariaPotterNut @latimes Yes.

[Amber Jackson @RookieAdult]

@pinkkatydid @Kwatts7304 @latimes Oh, if she said she never wanted anyone else to wear it, that’s pretty disrespectful, I agree

[Amber Jackson @RookieAdult]

@allaroundmee @latimes THIS is an issue I can get behind. Not being on theme means a whole team did not read instructions, google, or phone a friend. These are heinous crimes that set us back.

[Amber Jackson @RookieAdult]

@latimes If anyone is tired of caring about this, you could donate to end sex trafficking in Cambodia and support the rehabilitation of survivors! ❤️❤️❤️@AgapeIntMission

[Amber Jackson @RookieAdult]

@latimes Pls help me understand the issue… it’s clothes. She wore them. They were very expensive clothes. She’s worn expensive clothes before and will continue to. I just… don’t see why we care, just because someone famous wore it once before. It can be repaired or remade.

[Amber Jackson @RookieAdult]

@Suziealto @latimes Like, she’s not still singing in it, so it’s not a big deal to me. Having the exact version isn’t any more informational to me than having an exact replica. I just don’t see what is really gained besides reverence. For an object.

[Amber Jackson @RookieAdult]

@Suziealto @latimes I think it’s just the relationship I have to things. I’m inheriting my great grandmother’s china. And I will use it. And if it breaks, I’ll have it replicated. It’s a wonderful indicator of her taste, but she’s not in the teacups, you know?

[Amber Jackson @RookieAdult]

@timotheous_ @latimes I know you get what I’m trying to say
