On Tuesday, horror writer extraordinaire Stephen King tweeted that Donald Trump had blocked him on Twitter.
Trump has blocked me from reading his tweets. I may have to kill myself.
King has been consistently vocal on Twitter in opposing Trump's presidency.
I wish anyone other than Donald Trump--left, right, or center--were taking the Oath of Office tomorrow. My preference would be Barack Obama.
In response to the block, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling offered to relay Trump's tweets to King.
I still have access. I'll DM them to you. https://t.co/MhibEYDBTg
@jk_rowling @BevVincent Thanks. Maybe it's a hoax. I'm good either way. I'll always have Pence, hahahaha.
Other people made jokes about the ~horror~ of the situation.

CORRECTION
Bess Kalb was blocked by Donald Trump on Twitter. A previous version of this post misstated her name.
