It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yes, that's him! He was marvellous! Really sweet and quiet and so intelligent, and very "yeah, he's like that" about Tommy.

I don't know who Tommy Davidson is (really not my kind of movie, definitely) but anyone who doesn't value ita ! on sight is kind of dumb.
I had a real "only at Readercon" moment yesterday -- I went in a little late to a panel retrospect on Chip Delany's work, sat down at an aisle seat about halfway back in the room, got my knitting project organized, started to enjoy the discussion -- then I got around to looking around the audience.
Chip was seated directly across the aisle from me.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Nova is draped across my lap, as usual. At least she stopped kneading my thighs.

I just looked at the commenting system at gawker and io9.
holee fuck. what a disaster. how can people read the comments at all?

Because books.
I think ita was saying it had to be about page views, because you have to keep clicking to see the replies to a certain comment, and then click some more. It's infuriating and no fun.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Liese, as I have familial obligations (Have I mentioned how sick I am of baby showers?) in Indiana on the 11th, and won't be able to leave early in the day, I don't think we'll manage to get terribly far afield.

Amy,
oh that's a good point. It has completely disabled any functional commenting at all though. They might as well remove comments.

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
Reposting from my FB Wall to aid in data collection:
Someone is wrong on the internet and I need your help. Ladies, (just the ladies, now) I'm taking a poll. I'm sending up the bat signal.
I'm asking for a little help here in proving that the plural of anecdote is not data. Here goes.
My question is this: What's your favorite Beastie Boys song?
Don't laugh! It'd be really helpful if you could give me an answer. Don't let people be wrong on the internet. :/

Because books.
I would help but ... I don't have one. Not really a fan.
They might as well remove comments.
And half the time, that was the only reason to read the article. So stupid.
