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

One thing about South Africa: we will, consistently, defy the prophecies of doom.

There's just so much good news today!

@benlandis Some would say Khuba, but most seem to believe he's a pissed off 60-year-old white man who hates immigrants and women.

Grammarly is so wrong with apostrophes a lot of the time. I feel like they should pay me to use it, I correct it so often.

[A.T. GEIGER @atgeiger11]

Where is my trusty writing community! I choose you over Grammarly. 😅

QUESTION:
Is there an apostrophe after girl in this dialogue 👇👇👇

“A girl’s got to do what a girl’s got to do.”

Grammarly says no, but isn't girl’s short for girl has??

[Jean Barker @JeanBarker]

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.

[Jean Barker @JeanBarker]

Exciting news about the premiere of my first feature film, NOBODY LEAVES 'TIL JESUS COMES ... coming soon.

[Jean Barker @JeanBarker]

@fullmoonsong I don't know how to explain this to you, but if you post on a public social media platform about a controversial issue... oh, nevermind.

[Jean Barker @JeanBarker]

@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?

[Jean Barker @JeanBarker]

@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...

[Jean Barker @JeanBarker]

@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.

[Jean Barker @JeanBarker]

@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.

[Jean Barker @JeanBarker]

@fullmoonsong Hate to point this out but… 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.
