Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm glad Tim will be able to visit his father in reasonable safety, Steph.
I wanted once for someone to say "Warren has a soul!"
Yes, this. Lot's of people who've done horrible things have souls. Suggesting that evil acts are the provenance of Monsters(tm) just makes dealing with regular people's evil harder. I prefer Pratchett's approach where he talks about a man who tortured someone in a dungeon for hours and a man who gave charity to a beggar and how they were the same man.
JK Rowling is another example, though without the gender complication. She does lots of charitable stuff. She's also a TERF. Do I take all of the Harry Potter references out of my speech? She already got my money from the books and the movies. There's no way around the fact that she had, and continues to have, huge influence. Should charities turn down her money?
Welcome to my early morning sleepy rambles.
The Joss article has me depressed thinking about my own self-loathing, and the things I do to sabotage myself, and how implacable it seems.

Huge difference here: Joss used his issues as an excuse for why he was unable to stop himself from treating people like things and abusing them. You don't. You DON'T. And that difference is enormous. It's everything.
What. Teppy. Said.

First of all he's a narcissist, and you're not. Second, he hurts other people and you hurt yourself.
I wish there was an airflow button for you, Tom, like we have on a car. Instead of circulating your own self-loathing you could be flooded with the way everybody else feels about you.
OK, it's not exactly an island, but how about this for the Buffistas? since most are working remotely, location shouldn't be an issue.
I'm sorry it hit you like that, Tom. That's not fair or right.
I keep deleting everything I want to say about the Joss thing. Just did it again. Cannot get the thoughts into words that seem right.
I do kind of love the commitment to really castling up that castle, Toddson

This is a really gorgeous simile, David. And also a wish that many of us share for you, Tom.
