Most fascinating section of society for me. People who run for pleasure. I’m not even joking
Most fascinating section of society for me. People who run for pleasure. I’m not even jokingIt's all going a bit Meta here.
I'm off to the Running thread. Those people baffle and intrigue me, but they're nice and normal. Well, as normal as running for pleasure can ever be...
It’s such 4am rage typing...honestly I got the sensation of being drunk reading itAgreed. Regardless of what you thought of her article, he seemed to really go off there into way more depth than anyone asked for, and it's not a good article (it is on Medium after all, where I understand authors can self-publish). Also including pictures of her children, even if their eyes are blanked out, is creepy and unwarranted. It had nothing to do with them.
This is probably the weirdest turn the Vonny thread has taken, and that is saying something. She hasn’t worked for Gannet/The National for about 3 years, yet still behaves in an incredulous manner and writes nonsense.I was speculating a little about other demographics but the pattern of feigning membership of a group to then lead (astray) or exploit that group is clearly there. I only found this thread when I tried to find out why/where "Vonny" had disappeared and this is nearly top of Google search results. Still confused why she just disappeared.
It's more likely than Moyes being incompetent at what she does or her employer not wanting what they got. The article linked goes into great detail, more than most want (or can deal with) apparently. Whilst at the National her ultimate employer was a bunch of excecutives at Gannett Media which included CEOs from a weapons manufacturer Northrup Grummen, a Trans Arabian oil pipeline, and one from the same record label that lists Beyonce. Of course you'll find anti-racism cosplays with the aim of selling music but packaged as social commentary. Likewise, Gannett has a bunch of online car sales websites and of course you'll find anti-cycling stories across their list of publications.
It's very possible that Moyes was just the sex appeal to sell articles written by other people which could go some length to explain the schizophrenia.
Still surprised that people would think "left liberal socialist" types, someone said Vonny even had a communist phase, would be employed by a media outlet so intertwined with the military industrial complex to be their authentic selves.
Is Vonny aware of this thread? I’m surprised she’s not waded in.
Okay so I found y’all today (thank you btw, it’s been VERY enlightening!!) I simply googled her name today because I wondered why her socials weren’t showing up in my feed anymore and I quickly came across this thread. You really think she doesn’t regularly google herself?No idea but my feeling is no. I suspect we'd have seen some sort of reaction and I think the deletion of Twitter was prompted this time by lying about being vegan and getting called out as much as anything else.
I have no doubt she probably replies to this thread as someone else, building an explosive three part series about the bullying of Vonny.Okay so I found y’all today (thank you btw, it’s been VERY enlightening!!)

Maybe try Reddit instead then?more than most want (or can deal with) apparently.
Please, yes!!This is probably the weirdest turn the Vonny thread has taken, and that is saying something. She hasn’t worked for Gannet/The National for about 3 years, yet still behaves in an incredulous manner and writes nonsense.
Can we get back to the usual Vonny speculation?
Good point! I’m trying and failing to come up with one, it must be too much knowledge work for me?We need some thread title suggestions.
It’s a Von Trap!We need some thread title suggestions.
Have to say, love this! Foucauldian analysis tattle FTW. #TheAcademyThread title suggestion:
Vonny le Clerc #2 -a Foucaultian discourse analysis
