Same. No offence but every time I get a notification for this thread I get excited and then it’s just someone posting about how they weren’t bigoted as a teen.
I just checked and she's not actually running any Facebook or Instagram ads at the moment for Sighh. Aside from those Facebook posts (which automatically update when you connect your Shopify catalogue to Facebook and change the product price on Shopify), there's no paid or organic marketing going on. I think she's trying to keep as low a profile as possible for now and will probably temporarily close her shop once the diary orders are shifted (and the cancellations/returns are processed).I wouldn’t be surprised if people are still ordering and things are ticking over to be honest. Some people are going to be none the wiser because of how she didn’t address it on Sighh. So maybe she will keep going until people do forget about this/her business and then she will have to ramp it up. Maybe she’s getting enough sales from those sponsored ads
And by sponsored ads I mean the ones she’s paying for Sighh not her influencer payments etc.
Also there's probably customers that don't follow Polly or Sighh on social media and just see it as a stationery business :/I wouldn’t be surprised if people are still ordering and things are ticking over to be honest.

precisely this. makes me regret spending energy on being so annoyed about it because it mostly just ends in very little. at least in Elle Darby/JR and now potentially Polly's case (to name a few!)There's absolutely no way she's going to close Sighh. Firstly, she has her awful mother in her ear telling her she did nothing wrong and it's 10 years ago and how dare the big mean baddies online care about something she wrote as a teenager. Secondly, Jess Rose waited it out and now her business is flourishing again. She is very obviously hoping that if she waits a bit it will all die down, I wouldn't be surprised if she tries to just never address it again
I don't think employers do this as often as you would like. I'm just one person but nowhere I have worked in the past decade or so has ever done this. Perhaps if the job relates back to sm itself, like sm manager or marketer.She literally has no choice but to make Sighh work, no employer will touch her with a barge poll now. It’s the first thing employers do nowadays is google someone and it will all come up
This is true. unfortunately most places have people who say and do racist things, even if they don't realise they are being racist. every day stuff that white people think is a "joke" or ok to say because "everyone says it." most managers aren't googling every body they employ . they've probably said some awful tit themselvesI don't think employers do this as often as you would like.

Someone wrote that they think Polly is getting things in order for a new job and although I wish that were true, she doesn't seem like the kind of person who would accept to be someone else's employee. Not with the level of entitlement shown by both her and her mother.
pleaaase get urself over to the elle darby threads - lost 100k followers in a week or two for similar racist tweets! fair warning though it started on #39 we're now on #53...Honestly, I know of no singular Tattle Thread that has been effective as this one obviously has.
I often wish for places like this to become more than talking shops with funny/cathartic commentary that run on for years and years with no impact but it has become so anti-climatic and it certainly feels that way.
Of course, reposting those screenshots was the right thing to do but there's a curious part of me that wonders what would've happened, or would be happening rn on this day, in a parallel universe if we'd never known.
This has obviously changed things forever now and I'd like to thank @cass87 for having a real world impact![]()

I think someone has already made oneJust a quick thought, has anybody considered creating a wiki if we do indeed have the capability to do so?
As I think that it would leave us in a far stronger position if we had.
Do we @mods?
I can't fully see it at the top like this one but I presume that's because it's hasn't been fully developed yet?I think someone has already made one

I'm presuming that a mod can help with that and I'll try to add some screenshots/other things as soon as I can :]That’s the wiki that I added the absolute bare minimum to, if someone has time to add screenshots etc that would be fab. I don’t know how you then get it linked at the top of the page
