    TW: I don't talk about this much but sometimes in my history of blogging MRA-Incel-Creep people have sent me really troubling shit, like, photos of my house and where I work taken from nearby, rambling emails where they tell me about their guns and rape fantasies.

        I get nowhere near the amount of harassment other folks get, especially black women, and I generally try to treat it like background noise and not think about it too much, but threats of violence have been the background noise of 7 years of writing online.

        I feel like when I talk about it I feed it with attention and then it increases, which is one of the reasons I don't talk about it much, but it's there, always there.

        I wish there were a way to write it off on my taxes as a business expense of being a blogger - "Work productivity lost to online threats & harassment"

        Often when I advise people to break up with abusive or otherwise crappy partners I get long emails from strangers telling me how my post wanted to make them commit suicide and it will be my fault when they do because nobody loves them.

        It's just...background noise. The background noise of writing for so many of us.

        I bet. How many times have you read something someone sent you and thought "Well, which is it, son? If I'm too fat for you to rape, why do you keep threatening to rape me?" It's so gotdamn depressing.

        I have read speculation about myself that I found completely astonishing. I wrote about this, in my novel. It's part of it. B/c it's a part of my life now.
