Someone on Twitter who is a huge fan of Michael Shanks and dreamed of interacting with him commented on one of his very problematic posts, in which she stood up for a group of oppressed people that he was spouting propaganda about. He hadn't replied to any of her comments before then, but he replied to that particular one and basically started an argument with her. She said that her feelings were hurt because she loved him as an actor and she wanted them to have a pleasant first interaction.
          	
          	Can you imagine that? Imagine being such a huge fan only for their first interaction with them to be them telling you how wrong you are.
          	
          	Her whole account was a Michael Shanks fan account. I was absolutely heartbroken to see that happen to her. 
          	
          	Never meet your heroes.

          	  I know :( I stopped liking him awhile ago because of something he posted, but the way he kept replying to it made me lost all respect for him.

hey bestie, i just wanted to message you and tell you that i wasn’t upset by your responses to my mb post but rather i’m upset by the entire situation, y’know. all i did was try to politely explain to someone why something was wrong and explain why it’s so important that there be proper representation, but i got blocked because she misunderstood i guess. all i ever want to do is help and educate others, and you know i’m not a mean person. anyways, i hope you’re doing okay today! i’ve been meaning to check in but my mental health has been not so good recently. hope you have a good weekend!

I'm such a bookworm. My friend's friend gave her an entire collection of Colleen Hoover books and she was gonna give me half. I just took two: Verity and Maybe Someday. I'm so excited! While we're on the subject, does anyone have book recommendations? I'm looking for romance, but only fluffy or dramatic, (or maybe dark), but nothing sensual or explicit. I also wouldn't mind something light hearted and adventurous like Stargate.

            I don't think it's the drama stuff that bothers me. I can handle stuff like dark romance and suggestive stuff (even though I'll probably skip it). I just hate when it's explicit and described in detail. I don't have anything against people who read the explicit stuff, but it's just not my thing and you're right. It's in everything. It's also almost never written in a way that propels the storyline, which is so frustrating.

@where_the_fun_begins Unfortunately, I can't even remember the last time I read a romance book that was NOT explicit, otherwise I would recommend you one. Like, smut really seems to be trending these days. Which normally I wouldn't mind too much but it's honestly making me sick of romance, which is generally the genre I gravitate toward the most. But now they just all feel the same: way too much horny and not enough of literally anything else. Next book I pick up is NOT going to be romance, that's for sure. I need a palate cleanser.

@where_the_fun_begins Bro...I am shocked your friend gave you Colleen Hoover. If you want to avoid explicit content, DO NOT READ Hoover. Her books are literally notorious for s*x scenes and problematic content.

When I met The Invisible Man at Universal, I genuinely asked him if he was okay. His prompt reply was, "NO, I AM NOT OKAY!" and I don't think I've ever met a more self-aware villain than him. Props to him. At least he's not delusional. 
          
          (The actor who plays him is amazing. Look him up on YouTube. He deserves more attention!)

Some announcements for you guys!
          
          1. I went to Epic Universe in Universal Studios! It was great! I met two Fantastic Beasts characters, Mario and Luigi, The Invisible Man, Frankenstein and his Bride, and many others! The Fantastic Beasts show was awesome and I really enjoyed the hotel.
          
          2. I just saw the Sunrise on the Reaping trailer and I'm so hyped for it!
          
          3. A STARGATE REBOOT HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED! It's gonna be a continuation of where the franchise left off last! I'm so excited!

            My only issue is that Amazon is the company in charge of it and I have a big problem with where they stand on humanitarian and environmental issues.

            I'm very optimistic! One of the people in charge runs GateWorld. I've been watching them for awhile and they do a fantastic job! They grasp all the series very well. The two original creators of the series will also be involved!
