PSA: If you see a woman respond to a troll, it is never--ever--helpful to respond to her with something along the lines of "just ignore them." She's probably ignoring 100 (or more) for every 1 she chooses to respond to. She knows that the path of least resistance is to ignore the troll & move on. She doesn't need you to inform her of that option. A response is a conscious decision. You are *not* helping when you criticize (because that's what this is) that decision.

If your goal is to criticize, I guess that's your choice. But know that's what this is and how it will be perceived, and that doing so might get you muted--if not blocked.

This thread brought to you by seeing someone (who I assume was well-meaning but misguided) doing this to someone else.

@grammargirl Totally fascinating. Also seems relevant in light of all the news about universities cutting foreign language programs.

No, Google Translate, I absolutely did not.(By the way, this is a super troubling sign of degradation in this otherwise valuable tool.)

@jquillin Love 'em. Totally necessary for Midwestern winters. And the ones that nip in or belt at the waist are cuter (and warmer)

Someone I love continues to be very concerned that I am wasting my time learning Swedish. "But who will you talk to in Swedish?"Apparently, "people on the Internet" was not a satisfying answer. 😆

I just finished reading "Regrettably, I am About to Cause Trouble" by Amie McNee (fun!) and deciding between the new Deborah Harkness or the new Lev Grossman for my next book.

Can anyone recommend a good VPN? I use a Mac/iOS if that matters.
