Look, if one of us was like, dying, and a logo would make a magical cure happen, we'd put the friggin logo up, right?
I just want to make sure we're not totally tree thingies.
In case I'm dying and need a magical logo.
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If we're going to vote (and I think we should), can we go ahead and open Lightbulbs? That way the clock can start ticking.
Ditto.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Lightbulbs is open.
Stay gold, Allyson, stay gold.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Thanks, ita.

Trust my rage
So, can one, such as myself, propose that we put up the logo, vote, and then take it down if it fails and leave it up if it passes, until the strike is over?

Always Anti-fascist!
I agree with you, Allyson.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Well, as long as people want to vote on it, it looks like there's no bullshit consensus. But I just want to point out that we didn't vote on anything else on the front page, including our description. I think it's inaccurate and I hate a self-description that uses the word "intelligent" -- but it's not a big deal, even though that *is* something that is supposed to represent us. Like that, I don't think this matter is akin to something that affects our experience of the board, so I suggest we consense on a truncated voting/discussion period-- maybe 2/2, so it's up by Tuesday.

This seems like a good idea to me.

To me as well. Do we have to vote on that?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I'd be happy to condense the discussion period - say 24 hours? Or even go right to a vote.
In fact, I'm going to suggest that we hold voting and discussion simultaneously, with voting to start as soon as we can throw a poll page up and end at 1PM board time on Monday.
But for the larger question, this:
But if it comes up next time there's something that we obviously support as a board but doesn't include you and you don't get to use official process to object...
is a convincing argument to me for voting in the first place, despite what I said upthread.
