I mean, I'd put you in charge of management kills if I had such a position to fill.

Or, rather, I'd seek your agreement to fill it.

There's no proof. None.

Of course not. You are too skilled for that.

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.

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.

Buffy is mine now, just like Harry Potter is mine.

If SMG can keep Buffy and kick JW to the curb, so can we.

MT's very vague words are deeply unsettling

So awful.

Hi Allyson!

I've been coming to terms with JW's terribleness for years, and the pain of that is fresh now that we're getting more details from more people who worked on sets. Some of his work I will reclaim in ways that don't benefit him financially, and some of his work he can fucking keep because there's nothing there that I want to bring with me.

So I was already in a murky place wondering what the hell I had done with such a large chunk of my life.

There are so many friends I've made and experiences I've had because of Buffy, and I think it's worth separating that out if you can. There's no ethical consumption! If we did not know that he was an abuser back then, or to the extent that he was, it probably was because he wasn't in a position of power over us. Not in the same way JW could ruin someone's reputation or acting career, anyway. It's a deliberate tactic by abusers so that their victims won't be believed. I'll support those who are speaking up, notice who isn't expressing solidarity, and in some cases worry that they may have their own stories to tell and aren't in a place to share it.

Anyone who is still stanning him, though, knowing what we know now? Get the fuck out.

In me me me news, I'm still wrestling with Word documents that have been through multiple edits by a bunch of different people ... and I have a new question. It's a document that seems to have styles set so that they'll show up in the table of contents. I went in and there's one section that's not showing up. The section before and the one after are showing up ... but this one isn't. I checked and made sure the styles matched, but it's not showing up. It's a series of articles, each of which has a title; the table of contents has the article number, then a tab and the title, then a tab that aligns at the right margin with a dot leader and the page number. I tried selecting the entire table of contents and hit "update field" and it gave me the choice of updating the page numbers or the entire table. I tried updating the page numbers, but that didn't work. When I selected updating the entire page, it added the section BUT rather than having article number (tab) title (tab) page it put the article on one line with the tab and dot leader to the page number and below it, on a new line, the title with the tab and dot leader to the page number.

Any suggestions?

Is the section title especially long? It might bump the line down.

Nope - they're all fairly short and all fit in.
