No exceptions. If you use Gen A I in any capacity whatsoever, you suck.

Yes, the way you're using it too. You're not special.

BULL was the first place to publish my serious writing, Laurel was one of the first to be welcoming and awesome for the horror community. What a wonderful matchup!

It seems like editors missed the memo yesterday, but I was looking forward to 1+ acceptances for my birthday.

Luckily for y’all, belated wishes and gifts are always appreciated too!

This, and I'm not sorry about it.

Not only is all this true, using them indicates to me that you are also a lazy, uncreative human being who can't be bothered with/won't admit these truths enough to stop, so you're also a cheating, selfish little turd

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Recent Jeopardy contestant shared that she sings “Defying Gravity” and other show tunes while riding roller coasters to overcome her fear, thereby ensuring that NOBODY has a good time on the roller coaster.

Supervillain behavior.

Neil Gaiman's writing meant a lot to me as a young man. His stories helped me through very rough times.

I tossed out every book of his I owned when the news broke. Without hesitation. Don't allow this self-rehabilitation tour to take.

Block him. Make him one of the most-blocked accounts here.

ICYMI, Gai*man is slinking out of the shadows and posting again, trying to scuttle his way back into the public's good graces.

Please take care of yourselves, believe women, believe survivors, and fuck that guy.
