Patreon Upcycle - No Bones About It: Two True Crime-Ish Tales from the Weird Wide Web

Patreon Upcycle - No Bones About It: Two True Crime-Ish Tales from the Weird Wide Web

This week, we're giving you a sneak peek at another one of our Patreon-exclusive episodes! This was our patrons-only from July. Usually we just do regular TCC episodes for our Patreon extras, but sometimes we like to mix things up and do something different. For this episode, we decided to let Katie take a dive into her very favorite pool--weird internet drama. We bring you two true crime-adjacent stories: Tumblr blogger Sixpenceee, who got into hot water with her fans for an array of reasons, including offering unqualified mental health counseling, and admitting that her family owned child slaves in India. And a dust-up in the online witch community that participants ended up calling Boneghazi--a New Orleans witch picking up actual human remains at a local cemetery and offering to ship the bones to anyone who might be interested in using them for "curse work." Wow.The internet is a mad, mad world, innit?Sources: ●https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/boneghazi-tumblr-witch-arrested-human-bones/●https://www.saveourcemeteries.org/●https://www.nola.com/news/courts/article_c0486bc0-2698-5dae-a810-0713f75d8db3.html●https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/stealing-human-bones-boneghazi●https://softyuri.tumblr.com/post/135415156346/no-i-am-not-digging-up-fucking-graves-jfc●https://www.vice.com/en/article/vv7mk3/tumblr-devolves-into-literal-witchhunt-over-alleged-bone-thief●https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2016/03/cops-bust-tumblr-witch-over-boneghazi.htmlFollow us, campers!Patreon (join to get all episodes ad-free, at least a day early, an extra episode a month, and a free sticker!): https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfireFacebook: True Crime CampfireInstagram: https://gramha.net/profile/truecrimecampfire/19093397079Twitter: @TCCampfire https://twitter.com/TCCampfireEmail: truecrimecampfirepod@gmail.comMerch: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/true-crime-campfire/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-campfire--4251960/support.
