Addison

@addisonborn I got the feeling it was more on the side of she has no other options. She could totally be playing into my inner desire to help those in need, but she came off as in distress. She was fidety, drinking her drink nervously, and when she was texting she seemed very cold and emotionless. We are responsible for this, but I also got the…[Read more]

Damn, @addisonborn.

So…are the people in the call still valuable to the ODSM? Or have they played their part?

Nice Tom Petty reference @addisonborn 🙂

I’m nervous as fuck…and I’m not even the one getting the email!

The Reduction… Maybe she’s cooking and making a nice white wine reduction? And she’ll email @addisonborn the recipe in an hour?

Ok, fine. We’re all fucked.

“The reduction has begun”? What the fuck does that mean?

Keep us posted on that email, @addisonborn.

@nothenrygale Totally respect your and @blondie‘s position on this, but we’ll have to respectfully agree to disagree. In my mind, voting “Silence” would still have been participating in, and therefore condoning, the MyChild / Resistance / BOS action. I was never on board with it, and think I’ve made my positions with regard to OSDM quite clear…[Read more]

@addisonborn I take full responsibility for my part, my vote, whatever. By turning it around, I’m just trying to highlight that the blame game within the community isn’t helpful and is probably completely intentional on their part. But then I guess pro-OSDMers would be down with that, hence the finger pointing. It’s dumb. What’s done is done.…[Read more]

@addisonborn, this just made me snort.

@blondie, that’s a good point. But we all know what happens when the unpopular opinion is presented. It can definitely be intimidating. I don’t blame anyone for not wanting to step into that hornet’s nest.

No matter what happens next, some people will be elated, some will be upset, and…[Read more]

Was @addisonborn the only one to get the call from an unknown number rather than this 424 number? If the 424 number is the automated, why was he called separately in the unknown fashion?

My answers to the question “where do you stand” will surprise no one, I’m sure.

I have hated the OSDM for ages. I met Michelle in the walls of the OOA and she and I stared each other down. A bitch-off if you will. I hate the OSDM for what they did to my friends, the innocents of the OOA, and how they used my friends, the community.
The phone…[Read more]

Firstly, I want to thank @addisonborn for his honesty and for opening up this discussion again – I think it is of utmost importance to constantly evaluate your position, never allow complacency to set in. Secondly, I want to thank everyone who has shared so far. Standing up for what you believe in will always leave you vulnerable and open to…[Read more]

I’ve been thinking about this TMC event for a while now. While I may not agree with @addisonborn on certain things he said recently (but I fully understand where he’s coming from and absolutely respect what he’s done), there is one thing I truly agree with him on. This TMC event that was under wraps. Looking back, I can understand the…[Read more]

@addisonborn

Some people offer up some food for thought… you offer up an entire buffet with unlimited side dishes and dessert. Thank you for sharing all you did and challenging all of us to seriously consider our positions, opinions and alliances.

@addisonborn One thing I want to highlight from your excellent and informative broadcast: vengeance.

How many times have we each felt like we wanted to get back at someone? Remember that feeling, where you get all-consumed by the thought? It’s almost like being possessed by an evil spirit.

Which is probably why Confucius said, “Before you e…[Read more]

@addisonborn

how she has been regaining that control.

I think this may be the theme of this chapter, after the anarchy of yester-chapter, the backlash to it would be forcibly, or otherwise, seizing order. It’s the ouroboros, the never ending cycle of chaos and control, destruction and creation.

Or… Or Sabrina is just going to go John Wick…[Read more]

@addisonborn The empathy is indeed intriguing. I wonder — everyone seemed so shocked by Sabrina’s return — if it is worth listening to her speech again. Perhaps there is some text that was overlooked, and the subtext may have slipped past us. Our intuitions are our friends here.

To revisit this because of what @addisonborn said last night – here are the things that I said recently on the subject of Briarberg & Mason and how they’re just another facet of the same thing, collecting data on us:

We are, each of us, being individually shown whatever truth it is we want to see. Just enough of it to keep going forward and stay…
