I think for my death squad uniform I’ll use the outfit I put together for the fun text game from that thread last week; a Hawaiian shirt, black utilikilt, knee high vegan leather boots, and a tiara.

PICTURES I DEMAND PICTURES

pallygirl, what excellent socks! They make me think of the skull and crossbone tops and mittens Jackie McKinley wore on Time Team – JM being an osteoarchaeologist. :)

Because I like knitting socks, I will do black and white intarsia socks with skulls. Knee high. And I will wear an over-the-knee skirt so they can be seen and I can make MRAs puke because I’m over 25 (actually, over 40).

Also, the look on that cat’s face when the person’s hand disturbs xir soak is one that I wish to perfect.

Yeah, I wasn’t at all happy with RS’s change of format. I haven’t read it since. If it screws around with Adblock, that’s even more reason not to bother.

Truth to tell I’m just over reading about gamergate. It’s the same harrassment and threats women receive every. fucking. day, whether it’s (allegedly) about games or anything else.

Speaking of GG…this is completely bizarre, even by GG standards.

I think JB is opting for one of Fox News’s tried and true tactics: say something you know to be false, quietly retract it later, then watch as the retraction fails to catch up with the original rumor, which thousands of people now believe.

Why bother? Her cronies have already shown they have no problem in believing blatantly false things as long as they “sound like” something they’d want to hear.

A suitcaseful! Blimey!

… come to think of it I’ve probably got that much.

I couldn’t remember if we were talking about Ravelry while you were active here or after. My memory, it is a sieve, with very large holes. Glad you got to the site, anyways. They have some gorgeous patterns for FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Well when it first changed a troll said it looked like a tabloid, and actually I have to agree. Plus the new formatting really messes up my NoScript, AdBlock, Ghostery and other tinfoil hattery.

I actually find GGers way more tolerable than MRAs. Possibly because they’re newer to their particular brand of “online discourse” and are, frankly, pretty bad at it. They flounce frequently.

Every time someone links to a twitter exchange it confirms my opinion that it is a fever swamp I want nothing to do with.

Seconded!
