I love everything about this (mostly that we have established the tiniest support group, party of 2) but like, SAME SAME SAME. I relate to all of this. I used to love Medium and respond to everything and read it all and engage in debate and feel like it was my writerly home and LITERALLY yesterday was the first time I’ve read comments in months. I responded to some positive stuff people posted over a year ago. Because I can’t deal with the mother fuckers amongst us. They’ve ruined it for everyone.
However, I, too, will always have a deep soft spot in my heart for Medium for making me a writer-writer and very much affecting the course of my life. And for bringing us together. Obviously. ❤️
