Truly devastated to learn of Jane Yolen's passing. Her work with folk & fairy tales was so formative to me as a kid & so important to me as an adult. She was so vividly generous & extraordinarily kind.
Y’all are aware you can say you think Pl*tner is a better option than Collins without minimizing his allegations to “being a bad boyfriend” right? No one is making you do that.
Locking someone in a room overnight because they disagreed with you is abuse. Verbally fantasizing about committing sexual violence is grotesque. Framing that as “bad boyfriend behavior” is, frankly, cowardice, or an attempt to avoid admitting you don’t believe the accuser.

You can be honest about his past while still saying you find his rhetorical promises preferable to Collins’s history. And while Maine voters will ultimately decide, the rest of the country will also live with the votes of your senators. So yeah, it matters to us too. ✌️
