“Nelson, who is now a graduate student in linguistics studying online harassment”

it would be so much worse if it wagged 

I am going to be the only one... but... the tail grosses me out. 

And after that tweetstorm, it is probably a very necessary grudge that has expanded to include Picoult and Weiner as well.

And tea! Tea with non-dairy milk is usually gross.

Marion Nestle, a food studies professor at New York University”

Yeah, I’m a little conflicted on this one but overall the author is being petty.

asdkfjdk my GOD woman, get your head out of your ass. Sarah, you write shitty teen romance YA, you’re not out here writing the next Booker Prize novel. Of course a college junior, who is presumably in her twenties and you know, at university to challenge herself academically, wants to read something with more

How would Dessen even find this criticism?

If they can remove ads like this, why don’t they remove fake political ads?

Nah, man. People who have pets and genuinely love them and form a connection — you know when something’s wrong. I had a cat who greeted me every single morning, and the day he didn’t, I went to find him, and he was sick. After two animal hospitals and a specialist, I found out he had Parvo, and he didn’t make it.

Seriously. That and that humblebrag ass thrift store one. Jesus. “So the fry cook and I saunter over to the 1950's garage and the gentleman confesses to the murder. Quite an odd morning I suppose, but what a great haul!”

Guyyyysss, who approved the Ouija board story?

The scariest thing about the ouija board story is that a Chick Tract gained enough sentience to write it!

Ugggh. So her soon to be ex-husband choreographs a revenge porn campaign against her, and she resigns her position. Ugh. 

My gender reveal party in 1998: Ultrasound, which my mother crashed because she worked at the hospital and hacked my records to find out when I was having it. She’s in the room (no, that was not a hill I was ready to die on), the ultrasound girl does her business, asks if we want to find out (we do). It’s a boy!

Those $69 billion may be nowhere near enough to stop a responsible Justice Department from breaking up Facebook (likely Google and Amazon too, but those can wait for another day) so he may well want to pay attention.

First and foremost its reclaiming my time.
