The #WomanYellingAtACat meme reaches another level in #Guatemala: Woman: “You told us San Rafael Mining Co. would bring development/progress”. Cat: “Yes, for the investors and the companies providing services to them”. #protest #antimining x.com/ElijoDignidad/…

Thank you - that is my past and I have moved on and am in a really healthy, happy marriage. It doesn’t seem like my life any longer. I work w domestic violence shelters and support victims. It’s ok to laugh at the images that have been created.

Genuinely curious if that photo is hard to see circulate so much? I remember how upset you were during that scene.

How it spread

Trace the origin

A Twitter user paired a Housewives still with a Tumblr cat photo. Reddit users added labels; Smudge gained an Instagram account and merchandise. The peak anchor records an August retweet milestone. A Shorty Award and plush followed.

Documented milestone; not a measured attention peak.
