the case of sonya larson vs. dawn dorland

Tips? My DMs are open

dipping my toes back in here real quick to express confusion about the fact that, in a story about men & women behaving terribly & unprofessionally, only the women lost their jobs

Castellani tries to put as much distance between himself and L’Affaire Dorland as possible

Chunky Monkeys? He only joined in 2018!

Affiliation w Grub Street? Vague!

In reality, he’d been employed at GS since 1999. Second screenshot is from an archived version of the GS website

What's missing from all this is a pro-active effort to clear @ddorland's name. Say it with me @GrubWriters.
Dawn is a respected student, a fine employee and she deserved none of this. May she have a bright literary future.

Folks! This is as good a moment as any for me to log off for good! I've fallen behind with work stuff so have decided to permanently disengage.

My tweets will all stay up.

Thank you so much for all the thoughtful discussions!!

[kidneygate @kidneygate]

Check out my conversation with the great @RickyRawls

The pod did me a solid by altering my voice. I'm a woman in real life, but am digging this masculine/baritone version of me!

grub street just received $200,000 in government grant money to spruce up its headquarters

as far as i know, it has yet to announce who the third party investigator supposedly looking into workplace abuse allegations against it is

@MrsPABBK @benmauk certain sites (like substack, & apparently private groups on facebook) give you very detailed metrics about who is engaging with your posts. that can have a weird effect on how you perceive those very people, who may not even know that *you* know what they've been consuming

[kidneygate @kidneygate]

such an interesting question posed in this thread. (indeed, i did not think there'd be an under-discussed aspect of this story, but this is a new one to me)

[kidneygate @kidneygate]

@piperbookblog @EAddlesperger yikes!

[kidneygate @kidneygate]

Hi! If you're here after listening to "Who Is the Bad Art Friend?" in The Daily today, here's context that might change your opinion of the central dispute

1/ Here is Dawn Dorland's explanation for why she contacted Sonya Larson about the Facebook group

[kidneygate @kidneygate]

@videnieks i'm not dawn! so no worries about hurting my feelings :)

[kidneygate @kidneygate]

@NiftSidhe thank you!

[kidneygate @kidneygate]

@piperbookblog @badartfriendo * Correction: Alison Murphy is not a member of the Chunky Monkeys. She is the Director of Online & Special Programs at Grubstreet

[kidneygate @kidneygate]

@piperbookblog 16/ Oh! And a distressing addendum from the persistently excellent @badartfriendo

[bad art friend @badartfriendo]

I wanted to elaborate some more on the legal definition of "emotional distress," since the way it was used in the NYT article is still(!) bothering me.

[kidneygate @kidneygate]

@pixielauren unbelievable, right?

[kidneygate @kidneygate]

@Tristanshouts @summerbrennan appreciate you saying that :)

[kidneygate @kidneygate]

um, that's not what happened, @summerbrennan

i emailed you because the vast majority of images in your Substack posts were taken directly from my account—images that had taken me time & effort to find, format & arrange into easily digestible threads

all i asked for was credit

[kidneygate @kidneygate]

@Zaure_B @andriedeja @sink_or_swim @DrDorianCramer @Crystal_Ball1 @LegendKerrie that's a great question! i mean this 100% earnestly.

[kidneygate @kidneygate]

@MoviePrograms @bbsharkdootdoot @FlippyO par for the course
