The Epic Crush of Genie Lo by FC Yee. It's YA and definitely just the brain equivalent of popcorn, but once I realized that the Monkey King was a major character my brain immediately went WHERE IS @Coin?????

Have not read it.

I didn't figure you had, but my brain automatically goes Sun Wukong = @Coin.

Glee's Puck hung himself.

I wish I could say I was surprised.

I wish I could say I was upset. I didn't even know who he was, but after skimming the article, I think he took the easy way out.

I didn't mean to infer I was upset. Or let me rephrase:

Mark Salling had been an enjoyable actor with an enjoyable character on Glee and after discovering what he'd done it is also clear that he is a vile human being and pretty much taints all of his work. The fact that he killed himself out of what I assume is shame and desperation doesn't surprise me. He did indeed take the easy way out.

So this miiiiight belong in the TV section, but I think the message is the point, and I think it's one of my favorite videos on women's empowerment ever.

But don't take my word for it. There's a reason Lagertha is so awesome.

What is a woman's place in this world?

It's so much fun to bust my ass every day to do my job, and watch a sexist Trumpet who has been here not even half as long get accolades and promotions. It makes me so happy. But it's fine. I'm fine.

It's fine.

@arkandel Taxation is theft in general. The only thing that changes is how deeply into your pockets they'll make you go.

But I like having roads and clean water and fire departments and public education...

@cobaltasaurus I want whatever sauce it is you're selling. I've been trying to get Deepwood folks forever and a day!

There was a mush for it for a while called I, Spy that I really wish had been able to sustain itself. It was really fun!

@EmmahSue I actually have a roster char that kind of had you in my head when I made her, but that would require more commitment than an NPC, so.

I have a problem with staring.

I tend to zero in on particular item in my eyeline, and more often than not that ends up being a person's face. And it's not that I'm trying to get their attention, it's just a sort of weird hyperawareness of my surroundings. I have a similar problem with hearing; conversations around me tend to become sharp and it's hard to disengage from having reactions even though it has nothing to do with me.

I know it just sounds like I'm nosey, but honest to betsy if I could turn it off, I would.

The initial impression is that I might have a severe undiagnosed form of depression, ditto on the anxiety, ADHD, and PTSD.

With tongue planted firmly in cheek? Welcome to the club.

I sincerely hope that whatever treatment is worked out for you has the best of results, and that your life changes for the better because of it.

@jinshei I'm so sorry to hear. I hope you have the opportunity to give a pup some love in the future.

I've been considering podcasts in lieu of blogs, but my concern would be...what do I talk about? If it's too random, it won't hold anyone's interest.

@ortallus I love Sense8 with the power of a thousand suns. I know at least one person on here hates it because they always make a point to talk about how awful they think it is when it comes up, but I can't remember who. BUT I LOVE IT.

I can't stand people who do that.

I mean, it's okay to not like things, but don't be a dick about it.
