Posts you had second thought about and decided not to post - put them here

lmfao

Endearingly exotic thread.

The snow thread?

Yep, although now that I’ve just found out that at least 17 people have died it’s less ‘endearing’. Mostly I’m just fascinated by the possibility of life without snow, it’s unfathomable from where I’m standing.

17 people on the thread have died?

RIP

damn, that's a lotta threads we have to start or bump

😏

inaccurate tho?

not having a great time in my life right now and and I am oversensitive to stuff at the best of times so probably best if I just stay off here for a bit if people are going to be like this.

Stay classy

My thoughts exactly. Genuinely shocked.

carabiners on belt loops are fine idk?

didn't even have to open up the thread, saw the 'last posted by' and knew instantly

Not entirely fair tbh

(my comment was not related to the two above it, gah i hate this thread sometimes)

Heh its an issue def bytimes

I have no idea what any of you are talking about and that is fucking annoying.

Ah tom isn't that what you always say tho!

Love Tom

I've caught up now and I feel sad for Mark, such a nice guy.

"I have no idea what any of you are talking about and that is fucking annoying."

Is there a keyboard shortcut for this?

?

(I thought at first you didn't get what I meant and was all set to explain myself and then, a sudden flash of awareness: that's the shortcut, stupid.)

No self-respecting pub would still have you as a customer.

it’s too early for popcorn

Of all the threads to grow a clusterfuck

she really really likes red pepper flakes

sorry the above is related to me just now discovering the world of Bari Weiss, which led me to Alison Roman, who I'd never heard of and ... I just can't keep up with all this

Crikey.

honestly a monster

Imagine choosing this as your hill to die on.

As much as I like being called an absurd fantasist for calling this person’s behaviour what it is while they continue to tell us all that we’re the problem, there is really no point in people clutching their pearls itt without using the tools available to them.

Oh believe me I am.

how come i can't buy more flags to use like you could buy gold to use in world of warcraft

I 100% support yr stance in that thread gyac re you know who

I'm sorry I started this whole thing ...

I really don't like pile ons against posters but considering my role in starting this mess, I am just stepping back and not fighting this battle.

I'm sorry I had an incoherent meltdown in there, sarahell. I was trying to avoid it because it doesn't help anyone, but I just couldn't take it. Fwiw, I don't think anyone's mad at you now - I wasn't ever angry with you, just upset, and I get your explanation, it's cool.

But "my cruelty is feminist praxis" is the biggest load of bullshit and it needs to be called out. I am so tired and so miserable and it all feels so awful.

Christine and gyac and emil.y and harbl are 100% otm in that thread and anyone with a passing familiarity with these posters will know it is, like, breathtakingly disingenuous to pretend that what they are objecting to are statements criticising cisheteropatriarchy and not yknow the things they say they are objecting to, viz the specific shitty behaviour of a consistently horrible and toxic person

xp otm again

Seconded Emily - Sarah, you apologised, and that’s all that needed to happen. That the person digging their heels in and arguing for their right to be cruel - and that some of us are abusive fantasists - is nothing to do with you.

Can we go back to the original discussion again? The original original one?

Regularly causing pain to women and non-binary people seems to be fine if you can caricature them as servants of the kyriarchy. But we're not.

Why certainly, I see no barriers in conducting a good faith discussion with someone who’s attacked my perception of reality and my mental stability!

This was about human decency imo. You all were right to call it out.

I really did end up crying my eyes out after my last post, and I'm still upset. I don't know why I had such an emotional reaction from that 1000 paragraph subtweet, but I did.
