@HiredHandStudio @UnicornMarch Two things: 1. I came from another country, not just another city 2. Did you work it out after I moved here six months later, after we moved in together a year after that, or by the birth of our first kid?

@RottenInDenmark I’ve been a fan of yours for years, but I’ve never been so grateful as I am each time I come here to see you debunk the awful misogynistic smear campaign that seems to have seized the internet. Thank you so, so much.

I think it’s weird when people say “13 years ago I married my best friend” because I think finding your best friend this hot would seriously impede that friendship.

@audreyseokhean @bendermegenders Pay someone to do it and pay them well. And then figure out the minimal things you need for it to “feel clean” and only ever do those in between their visits.

If you’re not already persuaded by all the very clever people raving about this book, then you should *definitely* listen to Emmylou. Carol Hay’s Think Like a Feminist is out today, and it deserves a place on your (and every right-thinking) bookcase.

@jasonintrator This is an aspect that has always mystified me. I wish there was more quantitative research of some kind done on online harassment of trans people and especially trans women - or just troll-like incivility by TERFs and their allies.

Ursula le Guin on HP: I read it to find out what the fuss was about, and remained somewhat puzzled; it seemed a lively kid’s fantasy crossed with a school novel, good fare for its age group, but stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited.

@victorckumar The fat phobia, stereotypes, and predictability of some of it. I know and love folks who love it, including my eldest kid. I think that’s fine, because I think you need to find and defend your own fandoms, and learn to distinguish ok, merely good, and great stories as you go.
