So. #Pupillage offer day. Last year, probably the happiest day of my life. The year before that, and the year before that (etc) easily one of the worst.
Congrats to the successful, and big virtual hugs to anyone hate-browsing twitter today. Hope you're ok.
I've been covering bad parts of the internet for long time now.
For years, there was one site extremist researchers warned me not to cover because publicizing it would be dangerous.
But it's time people know KiwiFarms—and how they're chasing political enemies around the world.
@jimrobottom Thanks to the eventual capitulation of his party and some of the normally servile press. Feels like we’ve (probably) got away with it this time, but only by the skin of our teeth. Next time I really don’t want to depend on the Sun and Tory MPs to save the country.
@naomialderman Torn. I wanted to pick the “don’t joke” option because that’s the lulz choice, but then picking it would convey that I didn’t think the question was funny, which is the opposite of what I think.
@IliaPopovski I suspect it's a case of small sample size. Rng can heavily skew your view of a character/card/relic if you've only tried it a handful of times.
@IliaPopovski Imo she’s feast or famine. If you happen to get a good deck early she plays herself. If you don’t get the right cards/relics she’s impossible.
Three months full blown isolating so I didn’t risk my pupillage interviews. One week of gentle socialising/celebrating. A single evening in a pub. Oops…
@jimrobottom@BarristerSecret At one of my first minis a barrister reacted with shock to me mentioning that I often wore jeans. At the time, I assumed he was joking. Later I realised he was serious.
I hasten to add - to anyone who didn't get the #pupillage offers they were hoping for - in my first year applying I had only one interview (unsuccessful). If you are currently where I was back then, there's still bucketloads of hope for you and I'm proof of it. Stay strong y'all.
I can’t believe I’m saying this. But I finally have a #pupillage. An actual, real life #pupillage.
I am so grateful to everyone who has helped, advised, or even just believed in me as I’ve meandered my way through this process.
Meanwhile on Russian state TV:
Host Evgeny Popov says it's time for the Russian people to call on Americans to change "the regime in the U.S." before its term expires "and to again help our partner Trump to become President."
