Yesterday during Fantasy Bullshit Pictionary:

Me: *yelling out guesses as fast as possible*
@SamSykesSwears: You can't just keep yelling stuff!
Me: That is LITERALLY how the game is played.
Also during FBP, James Owen, an actual, professional artist who gets paid to art, drew a narwhal with legs when he was asked to draw a Pokemon, because fuck if he knew what a Pokemon looks like. A legend.
Category: Genre musicals.
I: draw a girl with a candy cane being menaced by zombies. Clearly, this is too easy.
Panel: guesses INTO THE WOODS.
I...what?

I really don't enjoy graphic sex scenes in books that aren't billed as erotica (I don't enjoy it there, either, but I don't read erotica because I don't seek out books I know I won't enjoy).
This doesn't mean there's not a place for really graphic sex in fiction! My enjoyment or lack thereof neither validates nor invalidates it as a literary device. It's just very much not for me. I am disinterested and bored by it.
I divide literary sex into "load-bearing" and "not." If it's load-bearing, I can't skip it and still understand the story, and the narrative is absolutely not for me. If it's not load-bearing, it's like picking onions off my pizza. My meal is not ruined.

Fun cosplay conversation from the weekend: if you see someone dressed as a character you recognize, and the costume hasn't been seriously modified to confirm to a gendered ideal, don't assume the cosplayer is doing "male Cinderella" or "female Hades."
I saw a person with large breasts doing an absolutely slamming pin-up Oogie Boogie (which was female Oogie, according to a brief conversation), and a person without them dressed as Ariel, who was just Ariel.
If you don't know someone's pronouns, don't shout "look! Male _____!" You could be misgendering them and souring a costume they chose because it made them feel good about themselves.

On my way to Phoenix this past weekend, I finally had one of those level up experiences that seems like it'll be really fun but is actually sort of weird.
The people on my aisle and the aisle directly across the way were flying together. I got up to pee, and when I came back, I asked if they were on their way to the con. Amazed, the man said yes, and asked how I knew.
I replied, "You're reading a David Eddings book and she's wearing a Wonder Woman brooch, it seemed probable."

Yesterday during an Open Space at ServerlessDays Atlanta on tech and mental health, I said to the group that I suffered from burnout and suffer from Generalised Anxiety Disorder. I had just been on stage and delivered a keynote in front of hundreds of people. #mentalHealth
I'm still recovering from burnout (I'm not sure when you know when you've recovered) and only knew I had GAD last year after leaving AWS. I've been suffering with GAD probably since I was under 10. I'm 42.
It was probably the first time I acknowledged to a group of strangers that I had a mental health issue, as in many ways I don't see myself as having one. But it struck me that I do, and that my story would be helpful to at least one other, so I shared it.

New Q (3 Mar): Was Papadopoulos plant placed into Trump campaign to serve as FISA justification to spy on them via FVEY? As DNI, Clapper would know about FISA tgts. Does he STILL have clearances to receive clsfd rpts fm FVEY partners e.g. AUS? Is Papa-D working to save himself?
2. Public rpts show how fake dossier was primary justification for illegal FISAs. What hasn't been reported publicly is how FVEY worked w/Hussein admin to push fake decoy mtgs w/Russians via plants inserted into Trump campaign (Papa-D tried to set up mtg?). UK/AUS helped set up.
3. SPY OP started w/Hussein 3 Natl Sec Orders (POTUS Trump can declas). UK fed intel to Brennan's C_A. No Name fed leaks fm Clapper & Brennan to media. FBI, DOJ, DNI, C_A coordinated w/HRC & DNC. LL - BC tarmac mtg, SC seat offered to make HRC email "matter" go away.

Keep in mind if this somehow happens in animals, the embryo is completely nonviable. It's dead as shit. We have a few closely related species that can hybridize (mules, ligers, camels + llamas, etc) but not if it also winds up w 2 sets of genes from both parents instead of 1.
But if it happens in plants? They don't give a FUCK

So as domesticated sugarcane traveled with its new human friends, it made babies with all the other wild sugarcanes that it met.

It made a LOT of what we'll call VOLTRON HYBRIDS, with apologies to real plant geneticists
And then it happened multiple times. So VOLTRON HYBRIDS fertilized other VOLTRON HYBRIDS to make MEGAVOLTRON HYBRIDS

if you will

Anyway the point is the sugarcane genome is a hot steaming mess

In this thread, I shall talk about three fallacies of the US media's approach to NK issues.

1. "Maximum sanctions": The assumption that sanctions can somehow "force" NK to denuke is fundamentally wrong. It is a naive, wishful thinking, one-sided fantasy of a poor quality. 1/8
Trump and Kim already agreed in Singapore that NK's denuke can only happen "voluntarily" when mutual confidence is built and peace is in place. Sanctions can only hamper the mutual confidence building and prolong hostile US-NK relationship, thus postponing everything. 2/8
2. "CVID": It was a non-starter in the first place. The concept was coined by those who had no desire to resolve NK issues in the first place. Basically, in plain English, it means "Denuke first and trust US for the rest." If you're a N Korean, would you? Get a life. 3/8

Yesterday during Q's Q&A, an anon asked about SR & Q said "June ETA" for truth re: his murder & that he was the one who gave DNC emails to @JulianAssange. Now, DNC is suing @wikileaks, @Russia, & Trump campaign! They know Q's info is legit! No coincidence! goo.gl/vvUoyh
2. Q asked how you can "legally" inject damning (e.g., CP) evidence (think "Insurance" file fm Weiner laptop) into public domain. During trial discovery, evidence can be made public. Today news broke that missing HRC emails were found/must be turned over in Sep. Stall tactic?
3. Grab the popcorn...the TRUMP card is coming. When I read this I immediately visualized & could hear @realDonaldTrump saying "Because you'd be in jail..." (during one of their debates)!
