Honestly this is advice most celebs should follow. Should I keep this in the group chat? What am I trying to accomplish by posting this? It would be boring for us though.

"It was a human moment of wanting to protect Elphaba."

"To edit my face and hide my eyes is to erase me."

Usually I can tell that something should've been an inside thought or that I haven't articulated myself the way I wanted to as soon as I hit the "Post" button lol and just delete it immediately. If you get a notification that I replied to you, no you didn't!

That said, I try my best not to dirty delete if I say something dumb and get rightfully piled on. No one should be above taking responsibility for a bad take & growing from it lol

I've definitely gotten better at the whole "if you're wondering if you should post what you're typing while you're typing it, don't" over time but have definitely still fucked up a time or two. I don't delete either.

I still remember my worst ONTD take and it’s gonna stay there for everyone to see. every once in a while someone still pops up unliking that comment and it’s a humbling moment for me lol

We all have those, unless it's something really shitty (some type of ism/phobia) it's a moment to learn, yeah.

I can't imagine crying over a fan-made poster on the internet, when the official poster with my face on it is and will be at every theaters, billboards, metro and bus stations all over the world.

Yeah. She should have keep it for the group chat.

[insomniachobs]

I would get her finding it offensive if it had done something like make her features more Caucasian. That'd be fucked up.

But it doesn't. It literally just makes her match an iconic Broadway poster while still being her. IDGI.
