Ugh.

Anti-immigrant, assimilationist if-they-don't-pass-as-white-it's-their-fault rage-inducing xenophobic BULLSHIT warning.

Thanks, Ms. Moon. I loved The Speed of Dark, but now you're joining Harlan Ellison in the Box of Shame.

Anyone I recommended that book to? Unrecommended.

Same here. I hate it when authors I like -- and who even have made some good and salient posts that I agree with -- suddenly reveal surprise!bigotry.

[shweta_narayan]

I don't think I can manage it emotionally. Even the post + first page of comments makes me feel physically sick.

[beccastareyes]

My sympathies.

Yes, sorry, what I didn't say explicitly but thought was: "I applaud your doing so, and would myself because it's important to do so, except..."

[shweta_narayan]

*hugs*

[shweta_narayan]

Yeah. *hair tearing*

[shweta_narayan]

I managed to screw up resonses here I think -- meant to make the previous one a response to dsmoen and I don't know what happened to my "Yes this"-type response to you...

[beccastareyes]

S'okay.

[opheliastorn]

Do read the comments. There are enough people taking Moon to task that they made me at least feel slightly better. (What a contrast to the usual comment culture on the internet!)

I hope you start feeling better soon! Uni work and sickness is not a fun combination.
