My latest read: Troll Hunting by Ginger Gorman

“. . . it's dangerous to fool yourself into believing the online world is 'virtual' and the person behind the keyboard can't inflict real-life harm.” ―Ginger Gorman

I’d like to start this post by giving a joyful shoutout to the very people that inspired me to open this book in the first place: my haters. Whether you’re a lighthearted troll, reddit snarker, or one of my full blown stalkers and harassers, welcome to my digital diary. I know you’re here. And I hate you.

As much as I’d love to think my surge of recent followers on Substack are those who appreciate my impeccable writing skills, I can’t help but speculate that the majority of my 24 subscribers are desperate trolls who want something to snark about since I’m not super active on TikTok or YouTube these days.

Chances are low that one of you trolls will pay for this post, I’ll leave you with some text to digest before getting to the actual topic:
