The only words I really have are that I'm glad my participation in online fandom has given me the tools to reclaim media from creators who don't deserve them. Buffy is mine now, just like Harry Potter is mine.
THIS. This is exactly perfect.

In "this is weird" news: I, uh, may be ramping up on management skills. For a shitty reason (co-worker health reasons, they're going to need support), but when I talked to my VP about it, he was VERY enthusiastic and started rattling off the things he could do to help me.
(I caught the typo I made in "management skills" before I hit post! It nearly said "management kills", which is an entirely different thing.)

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
You are on top of management kills, Atropa, surely.
No plans, Laura. I’m going to sleep in tomorrow and then see how things go.

There's no proof. None.

I mean, I'd put you in charge of management kills if I had such a position to fill.
JenP - Feb 10, 2021 5:43:30 pm PST #3372 of 30000
Or, rather, I'd seek your agreement to fill it.

Of course not. You are too skilled for that.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Hi Allyson!
YES, Dana. Buffy is great. Joss is not. I will separate the creator from the creation, especially if there's a way to do that that doesn't involve putting money in the creator's pocket (be that fanfic, or supporting the actors in other projects or through fandom ways, but not paying for new Harry Potter books, for instance)
Yeah, this is basically where I am now.

Our wings are not tired.
No plans, Laura. I’m going to sleep in tomorrow and then see how things go.
The most perfect plan for a birthday! Enjoy.
Catching up with the Impeachment news this morning. I hope people who didn't get to watch the usual daytime tv offerings watched the coverage. So many people are completely unaware of what is happening in this country.
