Allyson, that link goes to the North Adams Transcript. If you go to the front page of the North Adams Transcript, it's a real newspaper, and the intern story is linked to from the front page. And it is dated today, not April 1.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Cindy, those are not the children you are looking for.

The evil is this way?
Please tell me that's not my children I hear, shouting at each other, out in the street.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dammit, Betsy, I was just coming to tell her that those weren't kids, they were droids.

Look at Cindy's children, all quiet and clean and polite.
Are we sure this is real?
Honestly I thought it was tongue in cheek, laughing at herself for thinking it'd be that easy. Until I got about half-way through and realized it was serious.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I've been having issues with people's sense of entitlement. I got a request for Tim's work addie so someone could send a spec. I said, "Tim's not accepting specs, and I'm uncomfortable giving out work info, sorry!" (paraphrasing)
There was a follow up insistence email with ASSCAPS AND !!!!!
I wonder if she was related to Krystal.

You know, if I had this necklace, it would drive me nuts. I would be constantly adjusting it so that it was true.

Oh, god. I finally read the intern story.
The first thing she needs to realize is that the number of people who want to intern for SPIN >>>>>>> the number of internships they can actually offer. The number of people who want to intern for SPIN, have music-oriented clips, and didn't use fonts on their resume that made the intern coordinator's eyes bleed is probably also >>>> than the number of internships they can offer.
The second thing she needs to realize is that the internship coordinator is probably doing a lot more than answering emails and writing a few record reviews.
The third thing she needs to do is leave journalism.
The fourth thing is to get over herself.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I hope there was a follow up to the follow up with a SMACK and DOWN, and a side of "stick your spec where the sun don't shine."

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Curses. Far too late.
