blogger interrupted

I certainly had no idea I had this much effect on people who send me nasty emails out of nowhere, but WOW.

The toxicity of politics (and the people who thrive on this sort of thing) in my life has reached an intolerable level, and it’s time for me to walk away.

So now I’m toxic. Which is really funny, given that Susan tells us this.

It was during these years that I became “den mother” to a group of kids who formed a gay-straight alliance “to promote respect and equality for all students”–six of the most challenging, aggravating, rewarding, wonderful years of my life.

Really. Hmmm. I guess it was so rewarding that you decided to treat me with precisely the opposite sentiment, in private, and with an agenda. Good on you.

See how this works folks? People decide to be an asshole to me. Then I respond by calling out their bullshit. Then they blame me for being toxic when their assholeness becomes public, and take their ball and go home. One less bitchy whiny Hillary blogger who wants to fight her 1960’s battles all over again. Good.

The only difference between this model, and the one I lived under before, is the PUBLIC part. This blog was started, partially, so that I can start making the shit roll uphill. I’m calling out the people who are assholes to me, and I’m doing it in public. And I’m pointing out that they use my past mistakes, which I have documented here in full, to justify their bad behavior. They think that I won’t fight back. They used to be right.

I think I like this new Tim Russo.
