Since we can finally pin skeets (no, I am never calling them posts) I am once again hammering this on my feed:
Text from a skeet: 

 One of the big rules I have personally is
 "I don't date online", and what this
 means is that any serious-non-jokey
 flirting I'm only going to do is face-to-
 face or if someone TELLS ME
 DIRECTLY that they are romantically
 interested in me.
 This was my pinned post on the Old
 Site: An old tweet from Twitter: 

 @GrokMeAmadeus
 I really wish I had a badge for
 everyone to behold online that says
 "I am not talking to you a lot to flirt
 with you, l just have ADHD & PTSD,
 so l hyperfixate my socializing to a
 few people at a time that have
 proven not to be abusive." Text from 2 follow-up skeets: 

 I've been in kink communities, polyam
 communities, and am friends & peers
 with sex workers, and absolutely all of
 that teaches you "friendliness +
 romantic interest." Sometimes people
 are just comfortable around you
 because, well, you're comfortable to
 be around. Which is pretty great on its
 own.
 
 And I get being bad at social cues. **I**
 am bad at social cues (hence the
 whole "you gotta tell me if you like me
 in a sexy way before I like you back"
 thing.) But it seems like a better idea if
 you know that to err on the side of
 "this person enjoys me" rather than
 "this person is hot for me."

It’s okay, Gail. My social anxiety is really compounded with my agoraphobia, so cons can be a difficult case. Still, I was glad to be able to get out to see you at WonderCon that one year to hand you a bunch of Adam Warren comics.

I still remember Hank having to slow-walk Scott on this concept in Universe X and the entire time you can tell he is trying to hold back from saying “bitch, you have death eyes, this is not hard to grasp.”

Overall, I kinda preferred Evo.

remember: go nagai did NOT almost shit himself to death for three weeks, go 'i must draw before i die' and also become the creator of piloted robots and 'anime fanservice', for you to shame yourself and others for drawing boobs

remember: osamu tezuka, the father of manga and foundation upon which a ton of culture was built, did NOT make his secret drawer of mouse girl transformation porn for you to hate yourself for it

Every time a porn artist quits because of "porn addiction" I add one more century to my hellish torture of the entire planet under my eventual, tyrannical rule.

Halloween Radio: THE STONE TAPE (BBC 4, 2015)
Filmmaker Peter Strickland (Berberian Sound Studio) adapts the Nigel Kneale-scripted TV movie as a radio play. Features music from James Cargill of the band Broadcast and is in binaural sound (???) and is apparently best listened to w/headphones. Creepy.

I can’t say what the BEST way to drive in Los Angeles is, but playing the Oddtaxi opening theme at night is certainly a factor.

BUT HEY!

THAT'S JUST A Segway to remind you that the FNAF creator/this movie's screenwriter, Scott Cawthon, donates the money he makes from FNAF stuff to far right politicians, many of whom are currently trying to make things worse for everyone, specifically trans people. Don't support this film.

OK there's my Unhinged Literary Opinion: Pratchett is the greatest humanist/philosophical writer of our era.

and since he really does have a quote for everything, in the wise words of Sir Terry Pratchett: “Susan hated Literature. She’d much prefer to read a good book.”

a bullshit statement from Keira knightley saying she was not aware of a boycott against jk Rowling before taking a job on the new audio series and that she's "sorry" and "we're all going to have to figure out how to live together and we've all got very different opinions"
 She can fuck off.

The worst thing about AI (aside from the job losses, resource depletion and power grid havoc) is the cloying "That's a great idea - nice suggestion!" replies. My ideas are bad and I know they're bad! Don't gaslight me.
