It's forever wild that people see "I never liked their work anyway" as an accomplishment. "I'm not engaging with art I thought was crap" is not an ethical stance. "I'm moving away from something important to me because condemning what they did matters more" actually says something.

What happens a lot on social media is when someone (Warren Ellis, Neil Gaiman now Ed Brubaker) has allegations thrown at them people tend to leap out the woodwork saying "their work was never good." That helps no one as it's irrelevant. What matters is their actions and what they did.

I was 8 and on holiday with my parents in the US. We saw it on the news in our hotel room, and my parents talked about the weird feeling of finding out while everyone we knew back home was still asleep. Mostly I found watching her sons have to go through it all really publicly really upsetting.

I don’t have anything profound to say about the death of Diana. It did strike me at the time when people said that “and like the JFK assassination, you’ll always remember where you were when you heard” that for most of the British public, it would be “in the kitchen, making the first tea of the day”

Fuck’s sake. Why do companies that make things for toddlers insist on having multiple designs or not making it clear what’s in the package. Packs of Pampers nappies have two different designs on, and the #hatchling always has strong feelings about only wanting the one she likes best!

I for one am happy to see neurodivergent people having their validity questioned on a daily basis as after lifetimes of trying to survive in a world that's not built for them, systems of care being underfunded and interacting in a society under educated in these issues, we have had it too easy.
