Oh dear. I think I just opened up an abortion debate on my FB. This is going to be ... interesting.

I thought Nathan was smoking hot around the time Serenity was filmed, but not so much anymore.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Rick Castle is much more attractive than Mal! At least for those of us who enjoy more or less stable types....

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Oh dear. I think I just opened up an abortion debate on my FB. This is going to be ... interesting.

I thought your reply was very graceful. My impulse would be profanity, mocking for using the wrong "you're," sarcasm about "killing babies," and defriending. I really do admire how well you handle complicated situations, like some of the GCS letters, and I try to learn from you (even if I'm as of yet unable to emulate you).

Tiny little flags for some?

Back in the day, did people use, I don't know, Little Dorritt quotes as shorthand the way we do now for the Simpsons? Or other pop culture juggernauts? I can seriously have a whole conversation with Tim without ever using our own words (primarily Blue Beetle, Buffy, and LOLcats).

Steph, the response in my head was all of what you described, trust me. Including the profanity. But I didn't give into the impulse to post any of that.

Our wings are not tired.

Yeah, I posted about Jerry Brown cutting out swag from the state budget, and it's the most "political" thing I've posted on Facebook in quite some time. I go to Facebook to relax, here to relax and debate (and learn), and Twitter to just tell the world to shut the fuck up.

I love having different outlets.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't even know what you're talking about.

But I like the guy that kicks folks into an engine more.
