As soon as I'm able, I'm deleting this tool of Trump's tool and South Africa's current most embarrassing export. You can find me on #bluesky as jeanbarker and on #Threads as @jeanbarkerza

Where is my trusty writing community! I choose you over Grammarly. ๐
QUESTION:
Is there an apostrophe after girl in this dialogue ๐๐๐
โA girlโs got to do what a girlโs got to do.โ
Grammarly says no, but isn't girlโs short for girl has??
Do you get the feeling that some people are bullies, but they don't know they're bullies? Or they think they're the good guys? That's probably most bullies, actually.
@TeaRoseRock Neither, or the second person. But... there are plenty of WGA screenwriters who're no good, or unsuccessful in general, so perhaps just do what you want?
I guarantee you that if President Biden or President Obama said anything remotely resembling "if I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath," Republicans would be screaming their heads off.
Words matter, folks. If you're in your 70s, and people constantly have to explain what you meant, you don't belong in office.
Especially after January 6th, if you use incendiary language after the whole world saw you inciting insurrection, why should anybody give you benefit of the doubt?
@fullmoonsong None of this makes me happy. I mostly am just disappointed. You posted a generalizing, blaming, judgemental comment. Now you're acting victimized and characterizing 35,000 dead humans as Israel "pushing back"? I'm sorta done...
@fullmoonsong Sigh. Okay. Well the kids who are dying and most of the adults didn't do anything to invite Hamas in. I'm trying to help you see how offensive and inhuman your comment is, but you're clearly not open to it.
@fullmoonsong It's not twitter that's the problem. It's the way you think and generalize. I hope your simplifications and anger are comfort to you, but I promise you they're not useful.
@fullmoonsong Hate to point this out butโฆ your tweet not mine. Also you placed blame with a generalized statement, so you should expect pushback. Palestinians no more deserve this than Israelis do Oct 7th.
