Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-03-20

  • @pledgemistress I may have a dongle for you. in reply to pledgemistress #
  • My umbrella-tree plant is dying. I do not know how to love it better, and I'm sad. Does anyone know how to nurse and umbrella-tree plant? #
  • Today is one of those tooth-gnashing sort of days when it becomes apparent that I've taken on work as a professional cat-herder. Here kitty. #
  • C'mere y'goddamn useless feline … #
  • And then Ziggy Stardust comes on in my magical cafe, and I remember that I come here because of the kids and so I can't hate 'em. #Livehappy #
  • I do not remember the last time I had a day so honestly full of work. I am doing a disservice to my work cafe, being too busy to get food! #
  • OH. It's the Ides. THAT's why all my various projects colluded to jump me on my way to the forum today. Nice to know there's a reason! #
  • The things said to me/return in a rush, I have/ flashbacks of that love #
  • @bewareleopard Love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love. in reply to bewareleopard #
  • @mrsexsmith Yeah, but it wasn't a big thang. Just changing my template options. in reply to mrsexsmith #
  • @this_isbollocks How could anybody accuse you of not being a "real gay"? I wasn't even in the room to snog! in reply to this_isbollocks #
  • @mrsexsmith Shoot me an email or DM, and I'll putcha in touch with someone who does. I'm probably a newer WP hacker than you, my friend. in reply to mrsexsmith #
  • OH at the Cafe – child: "Is this edible?" adult: "yeah, it's a cucumber!" child: "yeah, but is this *really* edible?" #
  • @this_isbollocks Why does Guinness have your Email? in reply to this_isbollocks #
  • @this_isbollocks Well, fair nuff. in reply to this_isbollocks #
  • @bewareleopard If I could get a TARDIS, I would give it to you. True story. in reply to bewareleopard #
  • No, Wait, @KinkForAll! #KFAPVD2 Starts at 10:20 AM, not PM. Bright and early, delicious friends! #
  • @johntunger Dude, she's on to you … (cc @renewabelle) in reply to renewabelle #
  • Spending the day at #kfapvd2 If you don't care, ignore my tweets. But you should totally care! #
  • So #KFAPVD2 is my life, last year. And you know what? It is pretty fucking neat that it has come to visit. Hello, old friends. #
  • @xMech is talking to us about what IS #TMI in varying social contexts. Hooray, #KFAPVD2 #
  • Does being open about your life make you an expert? Maybe not, but it does make you a resource (@xMech, #KFAPVD2 #
  • Sometimes you need to be upfront about what you are, to ensure that the people you're close to love you for just that, no confusion. #KFAPV2 #
  • Yeah #livestreamhugging That's how we show all the LOVE that makes Kink For All so awesome! #KFAPVD2 #
  • Listening to a this talk on #kink and the #liminal I am reminded of #KFANYC1 It's been about a zillion years. Still #inspired #KFAPVD2 #
  • Oh Hey! A #DrWho joke! I like this talk already! #KFAPVD2 @TheProfessorMrM #
  • @writingdirty Where are you we miss you?! in reply to writingdirty #
  • I walk through the world bold and proud most of the time, but when I hear the #sexual #harassment statistics, it's suddenly harder. #KFAPVD2 #
  • The parts that are ok for touching vary vastly according to whose touching you. With some people, the air 2 feet away is too close! #kfapvd2 #
  • OH INTERESTING! Didn't realize how much more intimate back of the hand is from the palm. Crazy stuff, social interaction & bodies. #KFAPVD2 #
  • Considering the privilege of being comfortable and hard to tip off balance. Unexpected touch is such a minor challenge for me. #KFAPVD2 #
  • You should totally check out the #kfapvd2 chat. It's lively and full! http://live.kinkontap.com (yeah, we appropriated it for the day) #
  • @MajaMajaMaja I think the difference is not touching WITH the back of the hand, but being touched ON the back of the hand … (#kfapvd2) in reply to MajaMajaMaja #
  • @MajaMajaMaja Touching WITH back of the hand sends the "I won't grope you" signal. But brushing hand-back versus handshake is odd. #kfapvd2 in reply to MajaMajaMaja #
  • @FierceKitty I AM! in reply to FierceKitty #
  • Since when did #set #theory become something I deal with on a regular basis? Thanks, #mathgeeks #KFAPVD2 #
  • We are talking about the sets of definitions of the word #queer and how they overlap each other. #KFAPVD2 #
  • Is @saraeileen preaching to the choir, or is she not? How much do we anticipate her questions? How captive an audience are we? #KFAPVD2 #
  • As we spread the word, consider and move forward, I would say that this discussion of #language and #queerness is needed anyway. #KFAPVD2 #
  • Words have many definitions: Personal, within social context, cultural – how can we bear these all in mind? #KFAPVD2 #
  • Hm. @SaraEileen asks "What do you think I mean when I say I'm queer?" We answer "Any one of twenty different things." #Progress #KFAPVD2 #
  • @xMech That does seem likely. Clever lady! #KFAPVD2 in reply to xMech #
  • "You're probably a lesbian." #KFAPVD2 #
  • What is #CBT Cock & Ball Torture! Cognitive Behavioral Therapy! Computer Based Training! (Overlapping social spheres) #KFAPVD2 #
  • @this_isbollocks Then bring your public privates over to #KFAPVD2 We are friendly geeks! in reply to this_isbollocks #
  • If you're "just a lesbian" or "just a gay man" can you still identify as #queer I think that if you #feel queer, you #are queer. #kfapvd2 #
  • @MajaMajaMaja Sure! People are what they will be. But I'm sure there are some people who are #gay and #queer together. #Kfapvd2 in reply to MajaMajaMaja #
  • Worth noting: @SaraEileen's skirt is one of the most fabulously distractingly gorgeously glittery things I have ever encountered. #KFAPVD2 #
  • The point is we can dow hat we want. We can be what we want. We can be who we are. And let people as questions. #KFAPVD2 #
  • @Siniful What do you think? I would say yes. I think #queer is what you make it, but I'm getting dangerously deconstructionist… #kfapvd2 in reply to Siniful #
  • Watching one of @maymaym's talks cold for the first time in ages. So excited for slides! #Kfapvd2 #
  • Can't tweet, slides to fast. #KFAPVD2 #
  • What do pre-Stonewall queer riots have to do with fetlife? I don't know. We'll find out. #KFAPVD2 @maymaym #
  • What is the difference between set-specific sanctuary and segregation? It can be hard to tell. #KFAPVD2 @maymaym #
  • Thanks to the Internet, no one will ever be the Only Gay Eskimo ever again. #KFAPVD2 #
  • It's not safe to be behind a wall unless you know everybody else who's behind that wall with you. #KFAPVD @maymaym #
  • As ever, @maymaym sparks brilliant and intense discussion. What else would a guy like him inspire? #kfapvd2 #
  • Nothing worse than being pulled back to #impulse when you were about about to hit #warp3 #kfapvd @maymaym #
  • OH MY GOD DAR QUOTE LOVE LOVE LOVE #kfapvd @maymaym #
  • @writingdirty See @maymaym, saying to the world that he is "kind of an ass." It's true – he speaks in this way. His points stand. #kfapvd2 in reply to writingdirty #
  • Ra-ra Internet Nonviolence! #kfapvd2 #
  • How did that guy know about the warts? #kfapvd2 #
  • Let's all have a round of applause for Tor, the thinking person's privacy engine. #kfapvd2 @pledgemistress #
  • Heh. @Pledgemistress says: "Do as I say, not as I do" when it comes to Internet Privacy. #kfapvd2 #
  • Sad, but true – the best way to keep your racy pictures safe is to destroy 'em. I lost a lot of skin in my last cleanliness purge. #kfapvd2 #
  • Be aware of who has access to your files, when and through what means. It may be more people more often than you think. #kfapvd2 #
  • Quoth @pledgemistress: "I'm a dirty person." OH! That explains so much! #kfapvd2 #
  • Seriously, it's amazing how much @maymaym knows about how t'stay private on the Internet. It's like he's been there his whole life! #kfapvd2 #
  • And the audience chimes in! Everybody has their own piece of information about Internet safety. Pity we don't all have 'em all. #kfapvd2 #
  • Risk Aware Consensual Internet Use? #kfapvd2 #
  • Learning a lot about the things that I miss as @maymaym runs a breakout session on wikileaks, Bradley Manning, and censorship. #kfapvd2 #
  • What makes a crime a crime? Possibly the fact that someone was prosecuted for it. #kfapvd2 @maymaym #bradleymanning #wikileaks #
  • Fair point – Due process really just disappears when "national security" appears. I think the constitution still applies. #kfapvd2 @maymaym #
  • @maymaym Thanks! Those are worth looking into – any way of differentiating what they are easily? Or is it a look-and-find-out situation? in reply to maymaym #
  • @maymaym Yeah, I meant a what's-what within the tweet. I think character limit defeats that goal. in reply to maymaym #
  • @katebornstein I never heard anything like that. Sounds sort of fic-y to me. in reply to katebornstein #
  • @Siniful You guys fill me with so much joy and hope and love. Thank you for sharing! (cc @DDog, @nikolasco) in reply to Siniful #
  • @katebornstein It doesn't surprise me one bit to discover you're secretly a #Timelord You certainly avert disasters and spread joy to folk! in reply to katebornstein #

  • @dandelionjar To make you get that funny look on your face? in reply to dandelionjar #
  • Oh. "The Wrong Way." Maybe the reason I get a little frazzled when I work at the cafe is that it PLAYS MY CHILDHOOD ON THE RADIO. goddamn. #
  • Ok. Let's go to a Ska show, guys. Let's just do it. And skank, for reals, like there is No. Tomorrow. #
  • Every once in a while I *still* get a rush of pride when I notice how quickly my fingers dance over the keyboard. #skills #
