Oh!
May I link this?

[scyllacat.livejournal.com]

Sure. I didn't do it, but I put it up for sharing.

I had not realized you were feeling un-read?

Ah, there has been much wank on Facebook. The advantage is that I have had my opinions and beliefs filed quite to the point. The disadvantage is that sharing random links leads to a great collection of straw men to wade through before I get to voice my opinion.

Point being, it's safer here. I feel like there's less crap. I didn't want to be fabulously controversial. I wanted to be adorable.

Seriously, I'm reading. I just don't know what to say to any of it.

You know I agree with you, but I don't want to bother arguing with anyone. My voice is not as loud as theirs, nor of their gurus. I've fallen quiet because all the shouting has made me mute. :/

Oh, and something someone linked me to today:

And apparently also a seer of visions and purveyor of truth. I've been looking for this for weeks--and I didn't know it existed.

Nah, you're cool I mean, look at them. You know I wish I were similarly preoccupied.
