Man, that looks like the BEST web content writing job around...

I had a mullet. A curly, frizzy mullet. Can you beat that?
No, my fringe perm bows before your mullet. Though mostly it's the insecurity and desperate conformism I'd like to skip revisiting.

But new technology does make things possible/easy that previously were not.
I was talking to someone about my age recently about how glad we were that Facebook, Twitter and ubiquitous digital cameras weren't around when we were at varsity, because it would have been completely disastrous.
Looking at the same group through time, the permanent visual record of a KAOS party has gone from this to this, which is kind of scary. See how easy it is to be in the background of one of those photos when there are so many? The only way to maintain Tom's attitude would be to just not turn up to parties. (But then, I do also wander around naked with the curtains open sometimes. If they happen to be open and I happen to be naked.)
Sometimes we have rooms that are off-limits to cameras (like at the Perversion Party), you can always ask for a photo to be removed or, as I've done, never see the light of day. But we found at the reunion we had in January that we had so many photos that people weren't comfortable with. If someone decided to go feral, it could be unfortunate. And people aren't going to hang around to find out what the context of an image or statement is.

I certainly wouldn't want for it to be any kind of stand-off between the two sites. They're good people over there
Gosh yes. Julie linked to the piece in good faith, and while the subsequent discussion hasn't exactly been constructive I'm not objecting to it existing and I wouldn't want them to cop any crap for it. I have a very firm determination not to comment at the Hand Mirror which dates back to the 'real women don't really like group sex' debacle, but I have deep respect for Julie. It just puts me in a slightly awkward bind when they talk about me...
if you're going to call her a bad feminist you should at least have the ovarian fortitude to come at her straight on.
I'm not really fussed about being called a bad feminist, because I don't strongly self-identify as a feminist. But they called Megan a bad feminist. Megan.
And thank you, thank you all. Your support is appreciated, and fucking humbling.

(wary after reading the commentary at Te Hand Mirror)
I cannot tell you how many different ways I've been reduced to tears today. Well, okay, obviously I could, and it's clearly 'two', but still...
I wrote a little something extra in a more personal vein, as to why the negative comments from a feminist perspective are so upsetting to me. It's self-indulgent but perhaps adds a little more to a picture that's mostly out in public anyway.

Now about that re-run..
July? August?
Clearly, we need a TLA to go with APBs here. Now, what would the TLA for Attention-Seeking Slut be...
I love you guys, you're so restrained and understated.

I think for the experiment to have scientific validity, there will need to be control days where the ladies cover up sorry Ben.
depressingly, I think you're right, Kyle. I'll need some advance notice.
On the... other? side, promoting that shouldn't get me any "attention-seeking slut" hate mail...

That was clever. I posted after Emma, but got in earlier. Weird.
Indeed, that's very strange. Unless we're both hallucinating.

Speaking of trouble... ruh-roh. On the up side, we didn't kill anyone.

I always confuse "brazen" with "brazing", and get odd visions of a scantily-clad woman operating a welding torch.
See, for a moment I thought you meant "braising", and I was reminded of the time I was thoroughly discombobulated by the sight of a "multi-purpose branding iron" in a perfectly vanilla gift shop.
