We understand and appreciate the time and effort that goes into your videos. Even though we miss seeing you as often, of course, your mental and physical health is the priority. Please take care
Stay sane! Sorry you crashed into unfortunate spaces. I feel your concerns, and I'm saddened about it too. It's nice to see like minded people in the world, though.
I was happy to see your video pop up in my feed this morning. I had actually started to wonder if something had happened to you or your family. 😢 I love your content on TH-cam. I'm sorry that you've been sucked into the abyss on Tik-Tok and will just say that if you stay on that platform, you're one tough lady. I could never do it. Living in a deep red state where our neighbors diwn the road fly a flag that says, "F**k your feelings" right across the road from the Baptist church...well, I gave up any hope for the people in that bubble a long time ago. Keep up your good work but please don't let them destroy you...because I think destroying others has become their goal in life. ❤
Thank you so much for your work here, it is truly appreaciated - and so very telling of these times, that it is not rewarded monetarily. TikTok seems to me like such a hellish place, but I am happy you and others continue to spread different types of messages there. Take care of yourself and never feel guilty for choosing what is best for you and your family.
I have no knowledge about Tic Tok. This was informative and interesting. I watch your videos because I am interested in your perspective even though it is not always the same as my own but I like learning about different things. It sounds like continuing with TH-cam might be a way to get a bit more positive support. Glad you are giving yourself more family time that is the best way to recharge and some much needed self care. Personally never used Tik Tok and have no interest in it. I get tired of social media so I often take breaks from it. Keep taking care of yourself and the family❤
I follow you here and on TikTok and am amazed at your resilience in navigating all the engagement over there. I wouldn’t have either the bandwidth nor the emotional stamina to address everything that you tackle there. But I do appreciate seeing your content, watching it, and sending positive engagement your way. 💙💙💙
Thank you for your vulnerability and openness in sharing this. It sounds horrible. And that is why I find it so important to shed light on and inform others. ❤
I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing that type of unjustified hate[although nearly all hate is unjustified]. Your descriptions of the fragile people struck me as very accurate. I really appreciate your factually-based, reasoned and nuanced presentations. I too am deeply sad about the percentage of Americans who are tragically mis- or perhaps mal-informed by grifters who treat them as suckers. As a former teacher, it's stunning to me how little many Americans know, this makes them very vulnerable to con-artists, liars, and fanatics especially on the right.
TikTok's problem is itself, not the ppl on it. It's designed to distract from seeing our common humanity... I dont have a TikTok account because just seeing the absolute fake vibe of every single video scares me sh1tless. People dell their soul on there. The whole character/time limit forces is to leave aside all nuance and turn everything i to a headline. I really hope Im wrong but my impression of that place is that being successful there depends on training "yourself" to act crazy and push people's buttons. It also seems like the last place for anyone to talk politics as noone can build bridges without giving the benefit of a doubt, and assuming nothing besides out shared humanity..
Wow, I'm so sorry you've had to go through that. I have learned so much from your youtube channel, and I'm so appreciative of the work you're doing. Please take care of yourself.
Negative emotions definitely drive engagement for the algo more than informational lifestyle type content. Sorry you have to deal with that. I couldn’t.
So sorry this has been happening to you. Tiktok is hard; I can't spend a lot of time there because it feels at times so vicious on all levels. I hope you can find a safe and healthy way to engage/path forward that is best for you.
Angela- I enjoy your content and perspective on gardening. I think it's unfortunate when we lump people into categories. Not all those who are conservative or libertarian are haters or spew hate. I am fiscally conservative. I want us to close the border. I own a pew pew. I want a healthy planet. I care for my family. I want to grow my own food. I am not rascist.I believe people should have choices about their bodies and luves. I have many friends who are very liberal. I havemany friends who are very conservative. I just want you to know that not everyone voting a certain way gets on tik tok and throws hate. I personally almost never share my views or beliefs on social because i think people will lump me in with some ideology and make assumptions. Afain, i am not rascist. Please don't make assumptions. Let's continue to have meaningful conversations about ideas that are productive.😊 I'm sorry you're going through that!! I sometimes want to just cancel all my social and go outside!!! Take good care and keep up the positive gardening content! Love and blessings from Washington state! ✨️ ❤
But I do love seeing your videos here. I like your tik Tok ' re-posts' videos. They do need the Tik Tok part in the title, it can be disappointing to think yay! "A garden video" - and then your talking about a local cause. You already name your videos well, your channel already sports the two topics (garden/home maker) why not a third? Punchy Tik-toks that address the stinky-socks of our society 😊 You won't lose my support❤
All this conflict is being hyped by the platforms to drive profits. Avoid the division if u can. We're all people and our diverse opinions are a poly culture.
Yeah... as an "alt right" person, I'm so over the abuse from both sides. Don't get into the delusion that only one side is nasty because I've had those comments made to me because I disagree with socialist policies. My physical friends are Filipino, aboriginal, African, Polynesian and white.... so when I get called a racist and told to go rid myself from the earth from the left I just shake my head..... I left Facebook and Twitter over 7 yrs ago now because of the unhealthy nature of social media. Truth is, we all want the same outcomes, and our governments want us divided so we don't talk to each other and band together against them rather than to achieve better outcomes. I personally dislike tictok because it is not good for children, teens, and adults. It rewires your brain and feeds you into an echochamber or promotes disputes rather than unity. I'm sorry you had such a bad experience.
You have been an inspiration to me. I am sorry that you must subject yourself to so much hate and ignorance in order to earn an income. The god of capitalism demands human sacrifice on that altar and we all pay one way or the other. I would like to suggest that because Tik-Tok is a platform for right wing extremists you may come to feel that they represent the majority of Americans, a very depressing thought. But like the blind people each touching only one part of the elephant and drawing a conclusion, you are only encountering the elephant’s -ss there. Even if a million people responded to your posts with ignorance and hate, that is still the minority. Also, it may not be likely you will change anyone’s mind there but you have certainly made an impact on me. You gave me hope and courage to stand by my convictions. Sometimes it is more effective to find the good and make it better than to try reach people unready or unwilling to change. I understand the very real need to keep a roof over your head and the lights on, but I am probably not alone is saying we are very grateful for your presence here and will be looking forward to any posts you are able to make. Take care of yourself.
I'm sorry that's all been happening to you. I am on tiktok and I watch (and like) your videos. I think you're pretty courageous, you take on some very controversial topics that rile up the haters. It's always amazing to me to see how extreme people are. I'm a gun owner, and like many gun owners, I believe in safety and responsibility, as well as background checks. And I absolutely DEPLORE bullying on the internet. Those bullies are not practicing what they preach. It's getting pretty ugly out there, and I think you're dealing with people's fear and anger. I wouldn't be able to do it.
It was so wild to see someone sending their best wishes of violence while their profile picture has their kids in it. Not surprising, but wild. It sucks that you got caught in their nonsense.
Sorry you’re having to deal with the unnecessary negativity. It’s probably not all actual individuals responding to your content, but a loosely organized effort to discourage content that isn’t in alignment with their reactionary narrative. I don’t use TikTok or I’d respond to some of it. If it’s too destructive it might be better to figure out how to detach yourself from the platform. These platforms encourage dependency.
I'd admire you for using your resilience to undertake the barrage of inhumanity on Tik Tok. I couldn't do it, not even for money. Hopefully your work there is reaching some and serving the need for more mindful conversation in your country. The threat is not quite so in your face in Canada, yet. While Covid helped to reveal the more right-minded people in my isolated community, we still agree to disagree without hard feelings. Much love to you and your purpose.
Notice your videos wasn’t in my feed now I understand why. If saying this… Most of those mean commenters are BOTS 🤖 …… take heart 💗💝 Didn’t know you are on FB 🤗
Related issue when I tried to organize a Pride event in a red town. I cited real numbers about rural LGBTQ kids and self-harm/suicide and why representation is important. The outcry was 100% anti-science, anti-math: "you're turning our kids gay", "you're grooming our children for pedophiles". No amount of fact can counter their beliefs. I had to shut down the event due to threats of violence. Then I took a month off to mentally recover from all the abuse. So I know the sad and hurt and exhaustion first hand. Take care of yourself on all levels. I will patiently wait for your TH-cam because I appreciate the depth of content, and because I avoid TikTok like the plague.
That was a brave and important thing you tried to do. I'm sorry you were met with abuse for it and that they were more concerned with defending their unfounded beliefs than the well being of the children in the community. That had to be really frustrating, discouraging and hurtful. The world needs more people looking out for the well being of kids, especially marginalized ones with limited support. Hopefully you can find ways to help support those kids in a way that's safe for you.
I'm glad to hear you're okay. I'm sorry people are being so monstrous to you for merely encouraging very necessary conversations. It's scary to me that people can be that hateful towards someone just for presenting a different way of seeing things. How do these people become so incredibly fragile? I hope you find a way to balance your needs to share information, make an income and stay mentally healthy. It sounds very difficult. I could never handle that kind of hatred. You're a brave soul to be advocating for a more peaceful, equitable, sustainable world this way. And as you pointed out in another video about resilience, you really shouldn't have to be that brave and resilient. Sending hugs and protective energy your way!
im sorry that youre living this abuse via nasty comments and other peoples unhealed traumas. i would rather have knowledge of self-defense and martial arts, as opposed to a gun. people need to take responsibility for their actions and comments. yes keep talking about these very important issues please, only when your mind and body permit though, its never worth sacrificing your health and peace of mind. i appreciate your truth and the knowledge that youve shared with us. therapy is for everyone, and so is the truth ....for those haters out there :)
As an avid gardener I followed you and enjoyed your channel. I took a break and was surprised when i returned at the change in content. I totally agree with your politics, but wish you would stick to gardening. Tik Tok is toxic trash. Participating is your choice. I can't see how that squares with the permaculthure ethic.
I’m so sorry this happened. I don’t use FB, IG or TikTok, or really any other social media. Could there be some fake accounts or something that are targeting you? I’m sure there is a term for that. Anyway, thanks for making videos 😊
I am really sorry that that kind of ugliness has found its way on your platform. So very sad commentary on the state of our country. I was attacked on a video that I shared on Facebook that highlighted the Japanese culture of community and care for the common good. I was called so many names- was really surprising to me the level of hate that exists.
I was delighted to see you back in my feed, Angela! I was getting a bit worried about you and wondered if you had been subjected to a pile-on. I’m a local government councillor in Australia and a member of the Greens so I am often targeted. People say vile things, including to my face, with no regard for the truth. The impacts on my mental health have been pretty bad. Facebook oscillates between dead boring and a cesspit. I do Instagram but only for lovely things (ie no politics) and I have resolved never to go near TikTok. Over the 8 years I’ve been elected, I have toughened up a lot, but I do worry that I am becoming numb. I’m sorry you feel like you have to be part of such a filthy system. It’s incredibly damaging and the opposite of people care. I blame capitalism.
Also, I’m the MC at our annual vigil against DV in a couple of weeks. Thanks for giving me a great topic to speak on - fake risks masking the real risks women and girls face.
I have seen other tiktokers go to "friends" only for a while when they end up on the wrong side of tiktok. And then ask their "friends" to help with their algorithm. I follow you on tiktok and appreciate your voice over there. I will go over there ans show you some positive vibes now❤

Stay sane! Sorry you crashed into unfortunate spaces. I feel your concerns, and I'm saddened about it too. It's nice to see like minded people in the world, though.
Sorry you went through that. A slightly negative Facebook exchange will live in my head for days; I can't even imagine that level of harassment.

I love your content. You have really opened my eyes to the marginalization of children that was a complete blind spot even though I experienced it.

Very empathetic of you to take this stance and explain, especially as you're such a brilliant speaker ❤

I appreciate the garden and community content you create. I want to believe that a lot of the hate is bot traffic.
Negative emotions definitely drive engagement for the algo more than informational lifestyle type content. Sorry you have to deal with that. I couldn’t.
Didn’t know that tictok pays more, interesting. Love your hat strap.

So sorry you are having to go through this. Take care of you!!
Capitalism affects all of our lives. Glad to see a video from you here ❤️
Tik Tok is a fast drama fest. Can't seem to make myself go there.

I'm so terribly sorry that this has happened. I did notice you'd disappeared and I appreciate you letting everyone know.

You are strong!
I support your ideas
Good people are few in this world
Good people are being rewarded in next life ❤
I am so sorry this has happened to you. 😢

Oh gosh I love yt but hate tiktok. It gives me a headache

I totally agree with your politics, but wish you would stick to gardening. Tik Tok is toxic trash. Participating is your choice. I can't see how that squares with the permaculthure ethic.
Going to Tik Tok for warmth and comfort in the first place might not have been the best plan.
I’m so sorry this happened. I don’t use FB, IG or TikTok, or really any other social media. Could there be some fake accounts or something that are targeting you? I’m sure there is a term for that.
Anyway, thanks for making videos 😊
Yes! There were indictments recently against the Russian owners of a troll farm. The structure and prevalence was outlined of these troll accounts.
I don’t do tik tok, not worth it.
Some of these are ai bots and post farms.
What's a post farm?
I am really sorry that that kind of ugliness has found its way on your platform. So very sad commentary on the state of our country.
