Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, if it's not telling tales out of school, how many followers does good stuff have?

Currently 172. I have been dying to get to 175! But you know, not enough to actually make it more of a thing that people want to follow with lots of posts and original content and whatnot.

I subscribe to Good Stuff through Google Reader, except since work blocks Tumblr, I can't see the images during the work day.

So you might have people who don't show up as "followers", because they don't have Tumblr accounts.

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

Ooh, that's quite a lot, considering how many of those aren't us.

I will never understand the whims of tumblr. It seems endless and unpredictable. And mean.

Speaking of "never understand" I thought I'd stumbled onto opposite day when someone on IO9, a bastion of acknowledged Browncoat kneejerk behaviour if I've ever seen it, said "Browncoats would never do that".

What? Have a measured response? No...he means have a massive out of proportion response to something that's not that important, like those notorious Nolanoids who flipped their nut at a negative or lukewarm review of TDKR.

Whuhuh? They're (we're, to be fair) not capable of over-reacting? Did you miss ten years of internet?

Oh yeah, I'm sure more people follow it in whatever format, but I want more! Or at least a nicer number...

Because books.

What kind of original content do you think would work, Jesse? I could maybe help.

Gah! I'm blanking on TV shows that move really slowly in show time. Obviously 24 is about as slow as you get, but what other shows cover a really short time in their season, and how in hell do I frame that google?

I have literally no idea. I'm generally surprised by what gets reblogged a lot and what doesn't -- I thought for sure that Hellboy thing would be popular! Oh, right, by "original content" I just mean posts I didn't already get off tumblr.

But please feel free to submit whatever!

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

Murder One, Big Day.

Eta: maybe sub Worst Week for Murder One.

Oh man, I loved Murder One. I forgot all about that show.

ION, I'm pretty sure my new coworker is still doing her old job, given the phone conversations I can hear her having....
