Post 105535 by Kitteh deleted for the following reason: If you want to make a post about interesting stuff Kiernan has done/written, that's totally fine; a post about the phenomenon and culture of trigger warnings, ditto; as is, this is kind of a weird hybrid that feels too much like "let's continue the discussion on her lj entry" to make sense. -- cortex
