Now I gotta waste my time on this damn internet snatching up folks because ain't no way I'm letting this Chris Brown bullshit run unchecked. "He only hurt Rihanna that one time, and he been a good boy ever since." I wish I could slap the shit out of folks for lying like that. See, I can forgive some shit, but that person gotta take actual responsibility. Brown beats down multiple women, gives whack ass apologies/or lies, goes on to do the same shit, and then keeps his head low. He has never truly admitted his wrongdoings without pressure, knows that too many folks blame his victims, and he has never addressed any of that. All these years black women have been harassed for not supporting him or convinced that dating an abuser is a natural part of life because of how people tried to force acceptance of Brown's false redemption down our throats. It's infuriating. It's gaslighting on a large scale and all it does is make me hate his ass more.

I couldn't get all of March Comes in Like a Lion because the last volume was gone.

God I love being black.

The anime series I want is on sale. *Pours one out for my credit card*

Amazon might actually be getting their shit together with Kindle Vella soon, so I might disappear for a while after Thanksgiving.

Out of paranoia, I make up names for the social media sites in my books. I still didn't think it was a real possiblity Twitter might go down within a year's time.

This is nice thinking, but too many times it doesn't work out. The draw of Twitter was not having to be in solid groups and having more freedom to say what you want and to enter/leave spaces whenever you wanted without consequences. Cracks in groups start showing in the leadership from the very beginning(disabilities groups are already running into this with suspected NWL's starting discords and groups on Mastodon) by how they want peple to communicate in ways no one feels uncomfortable. This leads to too many instances where minorities end up being silenced for the general 'peace'. With the exeption of a few discord groups run by other authors(where only my writing brain needs are met), everywhere else turns into a shit show. Black spaces - homophobia, some anti-Semitism, hatred of black women, transphobia, fatphobia Queer spaces - Fatphobia, misogyny, transphobia, hatred of black women, racism, ableism Disability spaces - ableism, misogyny, fatphobia, racism, classism Female spaces - racism, fatphobia, targeted attacks on black women, classism, transphobia, homophobia, moralism, ableism Male spaces - too many to list I am done finding another group or whatever. Absolutely done with it. I'm sticking with what I have now and if they die out, then that's that.

I thought it would take him four months minimum to reach this point. I was definitely wrong. Too many artists/writers are scrambling right now trying to adjust to Twitter suddenly being gone or being unusable in a shorter time period than anyone expected. People will lose money because the reach you had with Twitter won't be replicated with a combination of other social sites. This is a terrible time for it to happen too because folks are already struggling. Twitter is the easiest way to find black writers which was important because with TikTok's racist ass site gaining more popularity as a marketing tool for books, it was the only way to fight against TikTok shoving more white authors to the forefont which has affected publishing decisions and displays in book stores recently. This is also a nightmare for disabled folks who could only get money for medical stuff through Twitter. Instagram really isn't helpful with that, and I don't know how successful this type of stuff is on Facebook.

*Still doesn't like you but it's the holiday season* Muskrat fucked around found out with his little ultimatum so entire divisions that handled this stuff are gone. I think I saw someone say that even the people who could train others to fix that stuff the way Twitter is set up are gone too.

I was offended when I saw this because I was like you actually made him look kinda cool. Don't post him over Charlize Theron's fit ass! One positive thing I'm getting out of this is that more people are starting to hate Jack Dorsey too. Yesss, spread the hate. He's deserved more lashings for years. He been shown who he was.

Who in the hell told Vans to do a One Piece drop right now? I'll wait a few weeks because like the Sailor Moon shoes, I liked the customs more, but that's still more money I'm gonna spend.

Finally got a solid case against Crisp Rat and now Gunn staying quiet. Like naw, come out and play. And seeing the director of Nemesis is in his last days is cementing how old I am now. Things are measured by decades now. I first saw that movie nearly three decades ago. *Sigh* DECADES.

I'm proud of the fact that I called this man's bullshit early on, but Jesus H. Christ on a cracker, I legit didn't think he was this horribly incompetent. Yeah, those Teslas that had to be sent back for fixes as soon as they arrived and other shenanigans I'd never seen from a car company in the US tipped me off, but this whole ass Twitter debacle is inspiring a bunch of college courses across different areas of study in real time all narrowing down to, "DON'T BE THIS ASSHOLE!" What is with this year of giant self-implosions?

Those Norovirus outbreaks made me want nothing to do with cruises. Ain't no way I want to be trapped at sea where everyone is endlessly puking and shitting their guts out with overflowing toilets as an added bonus. That is Hell to me.

I tapped out after two pasta bowls and one soup. I's officially old.

Because even if they can't get a timely response out of the cheeto fucker, they know his narcissistic ass gonna damn near stroke out over this. His earlier threats toward that other piece of shit does make me wonder how much info he has on his rivals after sitting pretty with a corrupt as fuck administration/agencies with few checks and balances working against him for four years.

Anything attached to live-action movie deals will get sniped extra hard. I saw this happen with another franchise whose tags used to be safe until the movie came out(forgot the name). For the past five months, the beginning of them has been cursed as fuck and it's pissing me off.

These things will never stop being nice to me. It's really something the first time you see your books all stacked up and pretty on them.

I really needed the laughs from this.

*Is thinking about the VA here that made national news after an old dude got a little feisty and then stomped into the floor* I can see someone making that choice because VA be a cluster fuck sometimes and folks are running out of stress management. Gotta watch what I eat today so I won't be a little bitch when I go out to eat at Olive Garden for the never-ending pasta bowl this weekend.

*Weakly marks Dec. 6 on calendar and sinks back into the abyss*

Sort of off-topic, but it's funny to me how when folks are discussing some incel who's stalking someone, a person in the replies goes, "I bet they're following Elon Musk." Folks go to their following list and sure enough among 20 names, there he is. I wasn't surprised to see them following Kanye too.

*Looks at list of followers dwindling daily* This motherfucker might force me to go back to blogging or put out a newsletter.

Muskrat has no idea what Twitter is like outside of his cult bubble and gave everyone a reason to collectively bully him and his followers.

These midterms were probably one of the few times I wasn't choosing between the lesser of two evils and actually had good candidates. It'll be so much bullshit if neither Warnock nor Abrams can win.
