The thread spawns copycat jokes, including a user claiming to be 'the Chris Packham of Brooklyn' rather than the BBC naturalist, extending the mistaken-identity bit.

Oh no oh no why didnt ur parents see into the future

You are currently atop the leaderboard in the Best Hayley Stevens Among Those I Know About tournament, and it's a long, long way down to the one in second place.
-
Okay, but let’s hear your terrible Midwestern American accent so we can tell for sure.
-
I'm going to follow you because you're not that Hayley Stevens, I love science and spooky things, am fascinated with forensic psychology, love sarcasm and also happen to love a couple autistic people. I do not endorse Mike Rogers either, for what it's worth. It's like fate brought us together. 🤷♀️
-
i know, looking forward to checking out that blog actually

Hello, I’m not the Chris Packham of the BBC’s Springwatch, I’m the Chris Packham of Brooklyn, New York
-
I once ate the best sandwich of my life in Brooklyn 👏
-
That's hilarious. I followed you long ago because the "Paranormal researcher & MSc Forensic Psychology Student" in your profile looked really cool. The fact that you had the same name as the person who (luckily) will *never* be my next senator never actually occurred to me.

Hahahahaha, but grimly. Sorry this happened to you, but maybe there’s a silver lining.
-
I'm gonna follow you because you hit the trifecta (spooky > Forensic Psychology, autism, sarcasm)
-
Oh no.. I did wonder if that would happen to you.
-
I sympathize with you for the content of your feed for the next while. An American who shared a name with a conservative premier of Alberta experienced that, too. The parody account @theliamnissan.bsky.social finds humour in chuds who "will never watch your movies again", though he's clear that->
-
Following for science and because you are not THAT Hayley Stevens. Cheers from NYC
-
It no longer exists unfortunately but I have some articles on @skeptic.org.uk
-
You sound so interesting. I will follow you and also look for your writings
-
Yeah, you got a follow from me. You sound clever and interesting!
-
->he's not Liam Neeson the actor. You sound like an interesting person. I wish for you a competent thesis advisor and a brilliant thesis. And I hope the onslaught of chuds will be brief and not too disturbing. 👋
-
I saw your name while scrolling and briefly read it as Dr. Jill Stein. Hopefully anyone else making that mistake doesn't cause you to have something else in common.
-
Maybe you could do a forensic psychology/paranormal research project on what happened with that other Haley Stevens. (Strikes me as a bit of demon possession tbqh)
-
Well now I'm going to follow you because I'm also an autistic writer, sorry about the people following you for uhhhh other reasons
-
J
Ah, I just came to check in on you and saw this. Wishing you a quick end to this confusion
-
Since you are studying forensic psychology, you might consider doing your thesis on the other Hayley Stevens. That would make for an interesting read, while confusing the heck out of your readers! Just a thought…
-
Just for fun, you should post that you’ve made a terrible mistake and endorse Abdul El-Sayed for Senate and not Mike Rogers. Now THAT would create some havoc for a bit… 🤣
