you know the thing is i can’t imagine what kind of person would ask people to give them money to save lives if they weren’t gonna use that money to save lives. i just refuse to believe that people like that exist. it’s not easy to ask people to give you money for a thing. it’s really humbling, and you’re constantly checking yourself, constantly, constantly looking over your priorities, what maybe someone could suggest you do differently instead of asking for money, it’s just such an emotional experience, really. i can’t imagine doing that dishonestly! so i don’t know even what to do. i just watched the video b/c ppl keep asking me about it. and i asked marni what she knew about it and she said people have said that invisible children is sketchy or whatever, and my left hand wants to google that, and my right hand wants to cover my eyes because it kills me every time that somebody who presents such an earnest message has other motives. like, god. i just want earnestness to be REAL. so basically, it was a really well-done movie except that it was like, super “white people are so white and CHARITABLE and my son is like SUCH A CUTE BUTTON” which is so totally GAH or whatever, and also – why are all their employees (you can see them on their website) ALL WHITE despite this being an American video and America being diverse? – but i guess, you know, well, i know who kony is, so? that will be helpful if this video fucks up the mission that’s already there. oh god. i just want people to promise to be totally honest!
UPDATE: I read
this, so
