Anxiety Is the Disease of Moral Goodness

Porn star August Ames, real name Mercedes Grabowski, committed suicide on December 5th, 2017. It happened a day after she'd been piled in on Twitter by fellow porn professionals. The full fury of Twitter came down her names and she was bullied relentlessly online for her supposed homophobia. I had written about Twitter pylons and we'd spent so much time in the porn world it seemed right to approach August's husband Kevin for an interview. He said he wanted to tell someone the story of how social media bullying killed his wife and decided it should be me.
