V the Spikelus Apologist ❄️

I see one of my colleagues still really into her work, overzealous as always, and I wish I could be the same but I am only here because I need the money now. The present is grim, the future looks grimmer... what's the point? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Im really trying not to spend my day angry but I swear to god

Charlie Kirk Called Gun Deaths the Price of Freedom. And Then He Paid It. This Substack is reader-supported.

Charlie Kirk spent years calling gun deaths the “price of freedom.” He mocked empathy & grieving parents, called Black women intellectually inferior, targeted academics, and taught young conservatives that blood was a fair trade for liberty. Then a bullet found him. open.substack.com/pub/drstacey...

Non c'è nessun altra opportunità di lavoro lì? Neanche ti consiglio di lamentarti perché non credo ci sia niente da prendere in quell'ambiente, ti auguro solo di non doverci tornare più e fare proprio altro

Aaand I'm back on twitter... I'm getting seething hate here too, at least I also get European news and spuffy gifs there, can't say I haven't missed that

Onestamente? I tuoi datori di lavoro sono una vergogna, dovrebbero semplicemente chiudere perché non sono in grado di gestire un'attività.

I choose to focus on the positive today, not everyone can be a good egg. One good egg is enough to cheer me up.

Please get better.

Io che ho sentito una necessità impellente di comprare un pacchetto il giorno del mio 35esimo compleanno. Questa coincidenza è paurosa

I only defended people liking things, everything else is something you lot are pinning on me

I have, and in no small part thanks to you. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment here and make a stranger feel less alone, I won't forget it

Thank you, your comment is a gift today

Sad consequence of expressing yourself is losing a "safe" space to vent, I would have needed it today

What can I even respond to this

It does speak volumes about people like me, I agree

Ok no problem, you too

I don't agree with this, I'd rather focus on not funding harmful individuals like JKR, treating my friends who are trans with respect and treating all people who do the first two things I mentioned with respect too no matter what children's story they still like

I understand and I agree JKR's takes do not need space and her actions don't need funding. What I don't agree with is putting so much blame on people who are not funding her but are just saying they like a story that was part of their life at some point for whatever reason

Nazis on Twitter were not even in my mind. I mentioned the environment, I'm referring to the way we talk to each other

Again, I am being apologetic of people who enjoy the story of HP, not HP, because people can enjoy things for many different reasons and I don't think it's okay to call them names. Enjoying something that was part of your childhood/life and funding a person who harms others are two different things

The pride flag is because I'm bi. This social was supposed to be less toxic than X but I see the same lovely lack of nuance, nice

I haven't been here long, I am not active here that much, I obviously "journal" here to deal with my everyday issues. I have people in my life who are very much touched by these problems, my post was about people who owned books since their childhood reading them, not about further funding a terf.

The post read "It’s so embarrassing when ppl say HP was important to their childhood so they can’t let it go. [..] is it that you took one step into total brand capture before your brain was fully formed..." these people already have the books, no extra funding here, why not letting them enjoy?

None - I used to be a HP fan when I was a kid, I have great memories with my dead father around these stories, and I am pretty accepting of others when they don't contribute anymore to funding bad individuals and takes. The post was about people who already own the books and I found it harsh is all.

Jane Espenson's writing sprints are my favourite online thing, they just help so much.

I would maybe just let people enjoy what they enjoy without being so harsh. Social issues are one thing, subjective opinions about books/art are another. No need to shame individuals for liking what they like

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field.

There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.
