My heart sunk when the news first broke because I immediately knew what was coming. The glee and relish people take attacking women, especially women of colour is so gross and not only that makes me feel incredibly unsafe as a woman in New Zealand. It doesn’t take much to scratch the surface and find how normalized being horrendous to women, especially women who have the nerve to have an opinion, can be.

I feel for her. It makes me angry that those who sent her all those horrid messages and are now having the time of their lives celebrating her public flogging aren’t held accountable or facing consequences for their harrassment which I personally think is a worst crime.

That Sean Plunkett tweet is absolutely despicable. How can people read things like that and not see that they are the absolute depths of human depravity?

Good luck with the Zoom. I'm not optimistic but I hope, for your (and everyone's) sake, it goes well. I love that this is happening in Hobbiton. May Bilbo, Frodo and the rest back you up.
