I will be earwormed by the chosen title as well, but I guess it's less obvious.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

As long as nobody updates the slugline to "these are our ideals we shouldn't settle for less" I think we'll be okay.

Hey. New board.
Is that a proposal? I would second that proposal.

Our wings are not tired.
x-post from FB group..
Apparently FB has us listed in user feeds as a recommended group now. We have 3 pending users. Help!! I am hesitant to accept new users when our home board can't accept new users. Yet, some of the requests look like people who would be nice additions to the group. Ideas? Suggestions? Someone want to look at the pendings? In the past I routinely deleted requests from users that had been on FB 3 weeks and were in 897 groups, but the recent ones are legit at first glance.
A suggestion was made to add a few questions to determine fit.
It could be that we can change to 'secret' and not have people finding us.

It depends on what we're using the FB group for--emergency gathering place and bulletin board or general group. I'm in favor of something that aims for people who know a bit about us as a group before we let them in.

I'd be more comfortable changing to secret.

Hmmm. My first instinct is the FB is such a cesspool right now that inviting an unknown element seems unwise. A few questions might beat the bots, but not necessarily the trolls. Bar the door!
It seems that the Group is such an auxiliary space for this board, I don't even know why someone would want to join if they didn't know us.

I'm with sj. Secret. It seems weird to accept people when they can't register here.

Agreed.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, it's backwards.
