I hear you. I couldn’t reply in The Thread(TM) but I’m one of the fairly new arrivals. I’ve observed a shift even since i joined. The population increase has brought with it a change of tone. Couple that with people confusing social media with reality and it’s a recipe for troubles.

When we first rescued my boy Kit from an abuse situation, this was his favorite way to sleep. He would just rumble peacefully in my arms. It’s one of my favorite things about him. He doesn’t do it much anymore but it was nice that he felt safe enough with us for that at the time

In a refreshing change, it’s been a productive week of writing after years of feeling stuck and spinning my wheel. I had some Christmas music, my writing project plan in ClickUp, and a focus hero RPG app to keep me motivated. 27 pages written since Monday! 📚 💙 👀 #booksky #writing

Yeah. This happened in 2007. We’re talking 17 years ago now (dear god how has it been that long), and I still wake up thinking about it sometimes. But also I still think about that time in 2003 I replied “thanks you too” when a waiter said “enjoy your meal”

It was really weird. Everybody told me how much they loved her and all I could think about was how I had been so excited to learn from her as a prolific author and how instead of teaching me she got personal. To this day I don’t understand why she attacked my character like that.

Had a teacher give feedback that was so horrible that i almost quit writing. She called me and my writing “solipsistic,” and when i realized she was basically calling me narcissistic, it completely destroyed me for a long time.

It seems like there’s a lot of stuff bypassing those PR walls and finally coming out of the wood work about various celebrities and prominent figures being scum. This one’s a hard pill to swallow because he was such a big part of my literary upbringing. Alas 😔
