sure was!

yeah I thought CX was one of the ones emailed but maybe it was CX being targeted too??? good times!

it was the year before MS wrote that poem calling me Todd Dullard in that defunct journal!! self care is blocking that out though

😭

my fave was when they said I should be thrown out of a writing conference because I said a building in Pittsburgh looked like Saurumon's tower

oh man the lore on that time is so weird and kinda silly, the short of it is a group of poets were convinced I plagiarized a book I hadn't read and I was able to prove it by the power of submittable dates but for a while they and others would email editors about me and make alt accounts to harass me

oh mannnnn I totally forgot about her, I think she was one of the ones making fake accounts to harass me, takes me back

people were so unhappy and grifters knew the fake rage was the quickest way to clout, I still don't follow people who primarily QT, too sus

oh wow thanks

yeah it's all a big Swamp of Sadness now in which I've lost a dozen Atreyus

EXCUSE ME they were a nepo missile factory worker

honestly don't know if it's bc I am on bsky now or I've curated my follows so well but I don't feel like I've seen concern trolling with ableism in over a year, which *golf claps* *waits for someone to respond I AM NOT ABLE TO CLAP*

none of it!

this is such a good example of how AI doesn't generate content it generates positive reinforcement in the form of "hey look what I did"

hey, listen mother
fucker
