Editor’s Note
We are beginning to receive multiple story submissions from a single person at one time, which is absolutely fine. We get it: There’s a lot to say!
There is a lot of scrutiny on this site – specifically, people are watching to see if submissions are organic. How we know, is that a powerful PR agent planted one in the hopes we would manipulate it so that he could trap us w/ screenshots to give the press in hopes of discrediting us. (At least that’s our guess.) When that didn’t happen – because we aren’t touching anything except to redact names – he started frantically trying to cover his tracks. It was both painful and amusing to watch the ensuing panic that happened once he realized his story was published exactly like he sent it.
All this to say, from now on, if you submit multiple stories in a row, we will add a number to it. So, if you send in four posts it will say (1/4, 2/4, etc.).
Otherwise, you’re always welcome to space submissions out.
Thank you to this community for your thoughtful stories. So many of them are heartbreaking and all of this toxicity is so avoidable.
The world is watching & you are making a difference.
