Thank you for being here and making Substack a lovely, safe space in which I can write pieces like this. I wouldn’t dream of writing this for a fully public audience – my own vulnerability wouldn’t allow it.

You’ll have to trust me on this, but earlier in the week, during research for something I’m doing, I happened upon a page on Tattle Life, the treacherous hub that houses the most repugnant trolls the internet has to offer. And when I say it was like stumbling into venom-covered briars, I’m not exaggerating.
Now… Before we continue into this piece together, some housekeeping (or should I call it ‘clearing house’?)
If you’re reading this and are someone who has actively posted negativity on Tattle Life, I beg of you: Unsubscribe. Unfollow me. Remove yourself from everything and anything to do with my presence on the internet, because you are not needed here.
If that seems like a strong statement, I assure you: I don’t care.
