Alrighty, this lady is nuts.
So, most of us are all pretty familiar with Cynthia D. Ritchie.
The self proclaimed American filmmaker and “PR consultant” has made her way all across Pakistan
Tea and technology. If you don't know about Madiha Hamid, CEO, @CheflingTales (doing amazing things in the #food space) and the National Incubation Centre for #technology startups, you should. #DreamBuildRise
They are all contributing to a #BrightSideOfPakistan #ADifferentLens pic.twitter.com/mLltpMCZPR

And has pretty much settled down to make our lovely home her own.
PSA: Don't feed the goats – or, especially, the monkeys when you travel to the hills north of Islamabad. They can be aggressive! I learned my lesson! (note how far away the cameraman is).
Also, don't litter! Enjoy responsible #tourism in🇵🇰!#BrightSideOfPakistan #ADifferentLens pic.twitter.com/gVBNggPYqQ

However, in the latest of her Twitter interactions, it seems as if things may not be going as well as the promise of a fresh start the new year would guarantee.

Yep.
Cynthia started off the thread by proclaiming, very eloquently, her New Years resolutions.
For 2019, I will no longer respond to peeps w/ a history of being mindless twits, patwaris, khotas, chawwals or lifafas – unless they have something meaningful to say in civil discourse w/ reasoning & intellect.
Not likely to happen but I will pray for them. #NewYearNewAims

Alrighty.
I also welcome new Balochi, Burushaski, Hindko, Kashmiri, Pashto, Punjabi, Sindhi, and Urdu terms that I can learn and use as part of the 'civil' discourse in Pakistan.
I'm taking notes, people. Time for me to expand my vocabulary. Lol.#NewYearNewAims https://t.co/fORjqhHijt

Well, that’s good!
But then rather quickly, things went to shit.
I am now looking to hire an attorney for a defamation suit against @theRealYLH.
Hamdani, your lies will be your undoing. If you think I'm going to sit by while you & Daily Times et alia, spit venom, you've got another thing coming. CC: @StateDept @shehryar_taseer @Razarumi pic.twitter.com/AikT6FJ1yl

In other words, the lady pretty much lost it. And okay, just to give her the benefit of the doubt, it is hard living and functioning in a whole new part of the world.
Pakistanis can be quite venemous when they want to be and maybe we don’t know the whole story all the time. In this clipping, Cynthia’s words may have been taken out of context and having her framed for a possibly untrue stance on religion in a place like Pakistan may not be super responsible.
But at the same time, as a public figure, Cynthia has to know that the way she expresses herself may not always be the best course of action.

See what I mean?
But lol, at this point, Pakistanis can’t help but be super entertained.
Not even 12 hours to the new year and we have our first meltdown on twitter.
For details, follow Cynthia Ritchie's account. LOLworthy material.

I think it’s fascinating. Does this mean she’ll be going back cause she couldn’t civilize the savages?

Also Cynthia said fuck you to Raza Rumi by quoting a tweet in which she absolved Raza. What's going on even

From 'civil discourse' to 'fuck you'; Cynthia's new year's resolution lasted exactly 9 hours.
Happy New Year everyone.. ☺️ pic.twitter.com/V8jFAExwm1
