thought I could absorb all the body issues and image hatred. Mine are certainly big enough to make a black hole and at least it would be useful to others to have theirs disappear. Sigh.
Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Do not try to absorb, WS. Your own issues are more than enough to bear. What would really be useful to all of us, including you, would be bundling them all up and nuking them from orbit. Sigh. I hate seeing their toxicity make so many excellent people so deeply miserable.
I'm about to get into a Twitter smack down with a guy I don't know who commented on my repost of the article about the AMA's decision to classify obesity as a disease (I.e. something many people cannot control due to genetics). His snide comment was that it was "just more excuses for weak-minded people." Wow, random Twitter asshat. Wow. Way to speak from a place of privilege.
Weak-minded is clearly appropriate. Attitudes are changing, but there will always be clueless idiots.
He is clearly close-minded, that's for sure.
"So, what's your excuse for your weak-minded perspective? OH -- genetics! Sorry about that low IQ, man. It's not your fault..."
Twitter is full of trolls. Just block and move on. It's not your responsibility to educate people who are searching for people to argue with.

Feeding the trolls would be a full-time job. Sometimes, very rarely, someone says something so egregious I think my head will pop off my neck if I don't say something.
VERY. RARELY. Learned that lesson back in the Salon days...
We are driving an hour and twenty minutes today to see Much Ado! And then we're stopping at a brewpub for dinner because TCG is awesome for constantly indulging his fannish wife and deserves beer.
Sean, tons of job~ma and interview~ma to you.
Aims, so much ~ma for Emeline's friend. How awful.
