it will never get better than a lady making chili for her neighbours who were super happy to get it and did odd jobs for her as thanks being mass attacked on the internet as cruel and selfish because if they didnt like chili the emotional labour of chucking it away would have been debilitating

Root Beer Sandwich
I remember when people lost their minds over a woman who posted about enjoying having coffee with her husband on their porch, because it was perceived as bragging about either (a) being able to afford coffee, (b) having a husband, (c) owning a home, or (d) all of the above.

Drinking a beer & thinking of Rufus 🍻 right now!
People are so stupid.
Surely this is a coincidence
Hope she's doing ok elsewhere
Everybody needed a fucking nap and some fresh air.
Fast forward today and it’s the fastest growing property value in Phoenix.
I get called a gentrifier by people who’ve lived in this neighborhood a lot less time than I have

I am not joking here

Universities etc, which are institutionally racist, ableist etc as well.
The reading isn't specifically, but often it's part of that institution
2. Switch it on
?????
But more to the point, obvi there are differences, but in the ways that matter (actively consuming knowledge), they're equivalent imo.
I think the idea was challenging the idea that "you have to read to be a writer" by pointing out that some writers have ADHD, and have a hard time reading.
(Also everyone *should* be trying to read more regardless!)
[sigh]
Also, people can just not answer the door/decline...? I've politely turned down food from a neighbor who offered up extra. It's not like it was "eat the chili OR ELSE..."

Oh awful a dad relate a teaching/learning moment with their child!
There just is no grace for people. In situation's where you think it would be most needed?
Too much social media seems to condition people to see everything as memes and discourse disconnected from humanity. A sad way to operate.
dying from covid is about as bad as it gets.
People omit sources when they don't fit their narrative
You're 100% right. It does suck that those people spend so much time online in a way that makes them even angrier.
I call the people you describe trolls. They are just here to piss others off.
anyone buying a condo in a gated parking lot next to a golf course deserves my mom regulating their wind chimes
Keep doin wut your doin.
Me: "I'm taking off between Christmas and NY"
Her: "Must be nice"
She had more seniority and thus more vaca days
"Oh, I didn't pay for airfair or anything like that; I just woke up here missing a kidney."

Especially nowadays it's more important than ever to get to know your neighbors and form communities.
Reading the rest of that though I really don’t understand humans sometimes. Overall we might not deserve the overpowered brains we have. Sorry for your trouble :(
If I did that in the Midwest, where I am I feel like the police would come arrest me on suspicion of trying to poison someone.
Me: 🏃💨
Basically making up fictions to abuse folks & feel good about it.
(plus ça change, I guess)
They: “That’s ableist!”
Me: 🤷🏼♀️
Poor lady
/s
As opposed to just... being nice.
And I got blocks from people that were supposed allies because I had the nerve to explain what was up.
It’s really easy to lose some of the other details. 🤷♂️🤪
🤷♂️🫠
Honestly I get nervous even talking about it because I know I couldn't handle being their target
Cause you know the very funny joke of threatening to kill and eat someone's pet that decent people make all the time 🙃
I don't know how many people/groups were involved with chasing her off but yeah it's all the same story
watching that shit happen was just depressing
assholes: hmm new weapon just dropped
I personally loved the breakfast lady being actual Satan for having a house, a table, a plate, breakfast, and a husband.
I actually was called rich in that one...I don't even have a cleaning lady! 😭😭🤣🤣😤
—and he’s only maybe the fourth or fifth most Antichrist-like national figure I can think of
Far as professional writing/author. I'd say you can do anything you've got a passion for. You might have some difficulties, but there's always a way to work around.
I'd suggest encouraging followers, readers, etc to request your book(s) at their local library. They'll typically add the book to their library. Which let's folks check it out, and if they enjoy it, it'll turn into another sale.
Oh man. Niceties? In MY hood? Apparently NOT!
Left both waaaaay before the muskrat.
Are they such miserable pathetic fucks that not only do they somehow think that's a bad thing
That they have the fucking time to waste on harassing someone for daring to be polite
I'm not very well-behaved, but I can be a weenie.
some people lack brainstems and the ability to think rationally like this. your post invalidates them.
@ me next time
THEYRE JUST TOO REAL FOR NPCS TO HANDLE
Just for the lulz!
I'm no longer a well person.
Eventually newsgroups discovered moderation, but it was too little, too late.
great group of ladies who taught me how to quilt using plain text at time!
Fair number of trolls, but community was very good about not giving them attention — too into the soaps! 😂
I could block nazis. Till I was suspended.
If you block authoritarian liberals, they get you kicked off the site. It's different for women.
Before MySpace then fb, if you built something bots would eventually find it
if not then it was usually scammers first then someone that might lead to an arrest, so you had to always be moving the groups
they hate the idea of anyone trying to be joyful in this very dark world
