Ugh. Shut up, guy on call!
Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

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.

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
I have no words! I was hoping you all would have words.
A reporter from New York Mag called me yesterday to talk about Joss' legacy, and then this hit. So I was already in a murky place wondering what the hell I had done with such a large chunk of my life.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I mean, is it wrong to threaten brick throwing aloud?
Not wrong, but it would hurt me more than him, so probably not effective.
And, 20+ minutes later, we're done.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

There are a few in the Buffy & Angel thread, but not a lot. Mostly, MT's very vague words are deeply unsettling, and we're all noticing that none of the men have spoken up yet at all.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The only words I really have are that I'm glad my participation in online fandom has given me the tools to reclaim media from creators who don't deserve them. Buffy is mine now, just like Harry Potter is mine.

That is something to hold onto for sure, Dana.
I haven't read through all the links yet and I'm already just sick about it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Allyson! Welcome home!
Please don't feel this is aimed at you because it isn't. But it's a thing that's been noticeable to me. I mean, I'm glad we're here, but why is it always tragedy or disaster (or impending tragedy or disaster) that brings us back here, where safety is?
Can't...we be here when everything is nice, too? I mean, shouldn't we be? Or not? Theories, anybody?
ETA: I did not see the precipitating circumstances before I posted. I think Dana expressed my feelings about things I have been fannish about, and will, in some measure continue to hold fondly. The love and investment exists aside from the ruination that came later, at least for me.

We're always here, Beverly. Just who makes up the we that is here changes some.
