Maybe our takeaway here shouldn't be "we'll just root out the good ones and worship them instead." Instead, it could be "it's bad to worship people in the first place; it rots their humanity." Or "Celebrities will not hesitate to abuse their status as 'the good ones.'"

Me n u both!!! 🤗🤗
I’m going to keep saying it until it happens:

My writing will be the reason my house gets paid off.

My writing will be the reason why I won’t have to work a 9-5 the rest of my life.

My writing will be the reason why I can finally know how it feels to live comfortable in this lifetime.

A copy editor will say that a character can't "hiss" something unless there are "s" sounds in the statement -- but I think a hiss is much more about breathy whispering that sounds like air hissing.

I’m sure gonna.
