The Tim Holtz "MAKERS" page

I also feel you're overinvested, precisely because you have been hurt. You're giving it too much room in your head. I'm worried about you.

Nothing is going to change where TH is concerned. You, on the other hand, can walk away. You don't have to keep doing this. It's not healthy for you.

"I'll have what he's having..."

Dayum

Really?  Ladies, get a grip.  It's just paper, scissors and rock and roll.  Don't sniff the glue.

I'm cleaning out my craft room today. It's my break time right now.

Out of curiosity, there's new pre-orders up on her site and you can tell one set has everything to do with the Tim drama. Gross. One of the few stamp sets that doesn't have watermarks all over it.

So do they or don't they make stuff? "MAKERS" would sound like they don't actually make things and as far as I know of TH, he scouts people using his products for his teams, so they actually do...you know...make things. Or are they not valid because they don't meet some sort of minimum that you personally decided was necessary?

This really is becoming an unhealthy obsession. You aren't going to hurt his brand as a (unless I've missed something) nameless random person trying to tear him down. You really ought to process whatever it is he and/or his business did to you OR you believe that they did to you and move on. I doubt any action he or his branding took would be good enough for you because it seems like you have such a personal hatred of him you'll write off anything and everything to validate your personal feelings.

Also, was there really a need for another post about the same topic when you could have just posted there? This whole thing comes across as a desperate attention seeking venture.

Black and white photos fit his aesthetic. Actually, I’m more surprised that they aren’t sepia.

And do you know FOR A FACT that none of the other people pictured are POC? I ask for a specific reason.

I have a cousin that is biracial. I was watching her play basketball on tv one day at work and a coworker asking which player was my cousin. When I pointed her out his response was “I assumed that was her. She’s the only white girl on the team.” I responded she’s biracial.

Same cousin, on a basketball trip out of state with her parents at the very beginning of the season. Most of the parents were hanging out together one afternoon before a game. For the first hour or so only my cousin’s dad was there, her mom hadn’t arrived yet. Her mom finally does get there, hangs out for a bit, and goes back up to the room. One of the new parent’s comment to the Dad about his wife being black, something like “I see where *cousin* gets her coloring from”. The Dad just starts laughing. When asked why he was laughing the Dad says “I’M the black one. My wife is Irish Catholic white, she just gets a really dark tan!” This was after spending well over an hour together. And the Dad is NOT shy so I can guarantee he had had a conversation and gotten to know everyone at that gathering.

So again, do you know FOR A FACT that the other 19 people pictured are white, or are you just making stereotypical assumptions off of names and what you *think* POC should look like?

I am only here for the GIFs 

I am sorry you feel this way.  Please please step away from it for a bit and take care of yourself   

I am truly sorry about your dad. My mom attempted suicide and I know how painful it is.

I stand by comments though. Tim does not care about how you feel. Period. Know him or not, he is not worrying one minuet about this.

I also stand how you come across. Maybe you aren’t crazy. But the only impression we have of you is your posts here. And I’m sorry, but the amount of time, energy and effort you have put into bitching about it here is not healthy or normal.

Feel free to respond, but I won’t be responding to you any longer. I’ve already spent more time thinking about this than I care to.

My kids are white passing much of the time (they're super tan right now from so much swimming, so they look more mixed than they usually do). Not a term I heard before Halsey. She was harped on during the peak of the protests for ignoring her full background (i.e. accused of pretending she was just white) and made mention that being white passing makes it so certain struggles of people obviously Black don't impact her the same way and using her background wouldn't help the movement. My oldest has my husband's hair (well, before he lost it, lol) which is the only trait that usually makes him appear more obviously mixed. My younger 2 look like me with my hair type and it isn't obvious at all they are biracial.
