This reminds me of an infuriating moment I had at a private press event a few years back... https://twitter.com/thehorrorchick/status/1317341012918849537">https://twitter.com/thehorror...
A woman came up, was introduced by a friend and just starting trying to talk shop with me. I was eating. She was drunk. And getting a bit belligerent.
Apparently she was a veteran in TV journalism or some shit. After a few min she started complaining about how these events have gone downhill. I ask what she means and she points to two people on the other side of the room and spits out the word "bloggers" and makes a puke face.
Obviously she had no idea my backstory so I stopped her and said, "Thanks for the conversation but as someone who started as a & #39;horror blogger& #39; I respectfully recuse myself from speaking with you further."
The look on her face...

Anyway Heather is absolutely right. And I& #39;ve been seeing a lot of this recently. There& #39;s already a lot of negativity in the world as is. Let& #39;s not beat each other down for doing what we love. Which is the exact same thing.
And Heather is fucking modest. She& #39;s a beast in this field. The amount of quality work she ours out is supernatural. I really have no idea where she gets that energy from.
Anyway, I guess the moral of this story is:

Elitist journos suck.
Heather does not suck.
Most of you reading this don& #39;t suck.
And it& #39;s sucks that 11 pm is now consider ed past my bedtime.

Goodnight friends. Be excellent to each other.
