Reading that letter was a great start to my workday!
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Because books.
The only problem is I now want to get out fingerpaints.

Aw Amy, part of me wants to say dooo eeet, and part of me knows you want to keep cranking on the work. Signed, conflicted internet distraction muse
Ok hivemind question: I'm weighing crossing my feeds - I have a (newish) blog and a twitter stream... and have never put them near fbook because it seemed like people who wanted to read those things already knew where to find them. So, What's motivated you to post tweets in fbook, or blog posts, and what's kept you from doing so?

I sometimes post blog posts from work to FB. Usually it's because it's a thing I really wanted to write-my New Orleans post for Mardi Gras for example-and I'm showing off. I have a what I watched due, well now, that I'm having trouble with, and so I likely won't link it once it's posted.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I occasionally use the selective tweet fb app -- that's the one where you can add a #fb hashtag to only those tweets that you want to repost. I HATE HATE HATE it when people crosspost every single tweet, and a lot of mine are (a) work-related (ii) retweets of links etc. or (f) half a conversation that's happening on twitter and make no sense on fb. On the other hand, tweets that exist in a vacuum (interesting thoughts/observations, overheard funny things, actual status updates that I just have to share with everyone) can work equally well in both places.
I've never automatically fb-posted blog posts, but that's basically because I've never found an implementation that I like. I really don't like the way fb imports feeds as notes (dislike notes anyway, and it splits the audience for the blog post) and as a fb user I really prefer links posted by readers rather than authors (which somehow feels spammy to me?)
I dunno. I'm a shite self-promoter too. So.
And your blog rocks, btw.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I really need to make another trip out there soon.
