Incredible self-owns of history.
Best of luck! I don’t interact much, but your comments and posts have consistently been top quality and given me a lot to think about. You’ve got a talent for putting words to ideas I’ve only been able to vaguely grasp towards, so even as mostly a lurker I know that you’ll be missed, but someone’s got to do the hard work of raising the next generation’s posters.
Would love to give your previous novel(s) a try if you’d let me know where to buy them.
Local squirrel fills tree with nut, but not the good kind, like you want.
The remorseful ghost of a slave that is handing over the tissue box is shackled in a bizarre manner. What could Kelly have meant by this? The lack of label on them leaves me at a loss.
Imagine a world where IEPs included speech therapy. I can find a lisp or a stutter endearing, but I know for a lot of people it’s a huge source of embarrassment and social anxiety. If there’s a term for the manner of speech he’s using I don’t know it, but I have heard it a lot from almost exclusively guys, and most if not all seemed to have some difficulties with socialization. I’d be curious to know if there’s a casual connection either direction there, as I could see how having fewer face to face conversations, especially in early development, would make it harder to learn to produce the full range of sounds needed for speech in a natural and comfortable way. And how likewise having difficulty producing speech in a natural and comfortable manner would make one shy away from interactions requiring it.
At least when I was using livejournal I had to learn to use some HTML to make my profile a garish eyesore. Part of me misses that level of customization, but maybe only because I didn’t bother with myspace so I didn’t see the hell that could become first hand. I find the uniformity of a Facebook or Twitter feed visually a lot more sterile and a lot of that has to do with advertising. My Facebook feed turning increasingly into ads or posts from pages I don’t follow has made it more and more difficult to actually use it to keep up with people–which is ostensibly the purpose–but until a decent competitor arises what else is there?
