        you're prescribing "correct" behavior for others - isn't that fascist and non-liberal? a little intolerant? a lot fascist?

        Can you write your next book as an indie author? There's more marketing work, but you own yourself.

        How terrible is that, that so many POC & women automatically have to look over our shoulders, asking, "Is it my 'friend' who did it?"

        Why is it you can create a Twitter account just to get in my face in support of a white supremacist? Coward. Fuck off @Seth87503540

        do you even know what white supremacist means? Or do you just throw the word around with no regard?

        yeah, you've never read any of her writing at all. You're angry at a brown face speaking up, speaking out
