Walked away. Four people in my DMs confessed they were afraid to unfollow her because of her behaviour.

This is *not* acceptable for a publisher.

We all unfollow each other all of the time! My IRL friends unfollow me lol it's fine! This should not be this toxic.

If you know any other publishing professionals when you feel this way, try reaching out to them. If you see someone who says "My DMs are open for this kind of thing, you can always ask me", try reaching out to them. Your fear is valid but it shouldn't have to exist in the first place.

Maurice is one of the *best goddamn people in the INDUSTRY*. This is on the order of accusing Mr. Rogers of, well, *anything*.

I love checking my Clearsky blocklists people added me to when I've never interacted and just don't like their vibe lol, some people are so sensitive like HOW DARE I.

If you are *actually afraid* to block someone on here, I'm not telling you to do so. I'm just going to echo: that is an extremely bright scarlet red flag. Like GLOWING.

It's common to happen to notice (even without Clearsky) when you've been blocked or unfollowed by peers, but monitoring it to the point that you pitch a fit every time tells every single remaining follower that you'll do the same to them if they step away. This dynamic traps people.

You have my sword by which I mean stealthy rogue skills because I don't have swords.

Under three hours! How much cheese are you allowed to fly back with you? 🤔

I'm sorry I'm a bog witch who shuns human company and sunlight, I'd love to see you! You'll clearly have to document your adventures in meeting everyone in Canada.

He's a petite little guy and yet he found the best spot and has slowly turned his body so he's pushing me to the edge lol

(I just have a very, very mild cold, which I'm extremely angry about, and I'm fine, but it still count as an "infection" and they don't like that with immunosuppressants so I want to be well enough for my shot tomorrow as well.)

Tiniest boy taking up all the space.

He and Ninja are going for checkups on Tuesday provided my symptoms have improved (I mask, sanitize surfaces, obsessively handwash, so provided I'm better I should be fine to go) which is why I'm making myself rest today but omg I'm bored and tired of eating vegetables.

Clearly this calls for a new fancy scarf from that arts and crafts place you like. 👀
