My personal "Mother Horror" statements:
-Sexual harassment/ predatory behaviors are abhorrent, inexcusable and intolerable.
-I do & will stand in support of women who share their stories. Specifically right now, Cassie (not tagging in order to give her "mentions" a break. 1/?

I absolutely did collaborate on a @Night_Worms statement with @bookish_mommy and took a leave of absense. My husband saw I was in a mentally fragile state and prescribed books & nature for me this weekend. If anyone wants to throw stones at me for that, help yourself 2/?
. @Night_Worms is packing July orders today. It celebrates #Lantinx authors, indie publishers like @CLASHBooks and women supporting women like #FrightGirlSummer. Ashley and I will be discussing the future of the Night Worms Review Team; decisions will be made 3/?

I supported her when she was being verbally attacked by another woman, last year. I believed Cassie& #39;s story as she told it on Twitter. We removed this woman from our review team. I have never once received any communication from Cassie other than thankfulness for our support 7/?
Lastly, not everyone gets along in this community. Not all personalities "mesh well". There are long-standing grudges established LONG before I got here and new ones are created every day (minute). Be careful who you dish the tea with. Take it all with a grain of salt... 8/?
