Seriously, this fucking fandom.

I’m sorry, if you are the kind of person who goes online to harass creators and actors, then you don’t fucking deserve Star Wars. You should never be allowed to watch Star Wars again. None of it. Not the new stuff. Not the old stuff. Your DVDs and Blurays should be burned and you should not be allowed to replace them. Any Star Wars toys you have should be taken away and donated to kids who would appreciate them.

Star Wars does not belong to you just because you are a “fan” and you have no right to harass the people who are behind the franchise. I mean, what is it that you even like about these movies? Because, if you think harassing these people is ok then you obviously don’t understand them beyond “ooh, laser swords and space dogfights!!!”

Grow the fuck up and get a life.

I am an ordinary person. A mother of two and a grandmother of one, I am a retired children’s librarian who loves to hike, bike, travel, pick purple wildflowers, grow cherry tomatoes, read to little kids, and dance. I shop at Costco. I love their tortilla chips and salsa. I read Lisa Scottoline, Sandra Cisneros, and Howard Zinn. I watch documentaries, rom-coms, and foreign films. I have a cairn terrier named Jinx and a grandpuppy named Mattie. I am just an ordinary person who happens to care an awful lot about peace and justice and human rights.

And yet on January 10, I was arrested for laughing during the confirmation hearing of attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions. And just this week, I was convicted of the two charges I received as a result of my arrest: one of disorderly and disruptive conduct, and one of parading or demonstrating on Capitol grounds. Sentencing happens next month — I could spend up to a year in jail, or be fined, or both. Just because I let out a chuckle at a public hearing.

She was convicted. My American acquaintances who support the Orange One pretend this did not happen, in fact – that nothing out of ordinary ever happened since the elections, and I hear more and more “I don’t follow American politics”. Like hell you don’t, cowards.
