when i was 8 i drew this comic about two girls kissing and my mom was out raged and i thought it was because my art wasn’t good enough so i kept trying to draw girls kissing and she sent me to therapy and my therapist tried explaining homosexuality to me and i didn’t even know what that had to do with my art skills
The key to getting over imposter syndrome is to know everyone else is an imposter too. Tell yourself you deserve a stake in the scam they’re all running.
@natalunasans – You’ve got that right, and sympathies 😩
Totally understandable. I wouldn’t necessarily expect other people to notice the cribbing, anyway, unless they saw those posts very close together. It did mostly stick in my mind because, like I said, I hunted down the source and pasted in the text rather than trying to transcribe it. My brain is pretty good at seizing onto phrasing, to begin with, though with plenty of lapses sometimes too 🙄
(I also didn’t mean to come across as passive-aggressive at anyone, BTW, much less people who had no idea. Just didn’t want to add anything directly on to that post, with zero spoons right now to deal with any attempts at harassment.)
Terry Crews said he was threatened with retaliation for speaking out about a sexual assault by a Hollywood agent, saying the producer of The Expendables 4 warned of vague “troubles” unless he withdraws his civil suit.
In testimony this morning before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Crews said Expendables producer Avi Lerner called his manager and asked that the actor to drop his case against Adam Venit in order to appear in the fourth installment of the action film.
Asked By Sen. Amy Klobuchar asked Crews if he has a role in the sequel.
“No. Simply because this same producer is under his own … investigation,” said Crews. “Abusers protect abusers — and this is one thing I had to decide, whether I was going to draw the line on. Am I going to be a part of this or am I gonna take a stand, and there are projects I had to turn down.”
Crews was one of three people called to testify at a hearing about the
Sexual Assault Survivors’ Bill of Rights, which provides new rights for
victims of sexual violence in the federal criminal code. The committee
was reviewing the implementation of that law, which was enacted two
years ago.
But, unless that blogger is secretly Wyeth Ruthven slumming? It’s really not cool to snag someone else’s posts word for word without any sort of credit.
Less unusual than one would hope, of course. But, I recognized that one specifically after hunting down the source to add to a screenshot version of it going around. (See the previous link.)
A slightly shorter version also turned into a Twitter thread, which IIRC blew up more than on FB. Another case of something with enough exposure to get posted as screenshots over here, yet nobody is supposed to notice someone else without the same expertise presenting it as their own take on immigration law? 🤔
