On Indefinite Hiatus
I used to be the only one who did this. Now I’m not, and now, there are many, many people who do it better.
I’m not in competition with anyone, but I have to consider, seriously, whether I can do it well at all.
For me, it was never a race to see who could get the most shocking news about right-wingers up first — it was about dig-down-deep research, and presenting the most comprehensive, easily-digestible view out there, by which I mean: major snark softening the most horrible stories so that you could read them without throwing up, in order to make a point, that point being: the people who want to control and restrict your very life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, are the biggest hypocrites of all.
But in the eight years I’ve been doing this (and it has been eight years — where has the time gone?), a lot of other people have taken up the mantle and have been doing the same thing.
I want to say that I don’t harbor any resentment (although, truth be told, I think I do)… that, as I have been telling myself for the better part of a decade: it’s not who gets the credit — it’s that these stories get out there, in order to make the public aware, because we’re all on the same side… right?
