Interesting points, @nothenrygale and @daela.
Not sure if everyone equates BOS with hope, though.
However, Michelle did state that we brought it into being.
Makes you wonder what else we can create, doesn’t it?

I’m with you @nothenrygale

Bring on the consequences…

One of the things I’m keenly aware of is that we really don’t know much about what’s happening. Hindsight is 20/20 and fear is fucking contagious. @nothenrygale took the reigns, made a decision and the consequences that will happen will affect us all.

That’s fucking awesome. Isn’t that…[Read more]

@nothenrygale But the way the vote was worded, it was billed as a vote to determine the OSDM’s greatest vulnerability, rather than a vote to decide what we as a group should do. “Silence” was listed along with all of the vulnerabilities, so that was how my literal brain interpreted it (i.e. if we remain silent, that’s a blow against the OSDM). But…[Read more]

I’m with Bryan, as well. Reading the “Silence” definition now, I can see what you mean, @nothenrygale. But at the time of voting, it seemed ambiguous and still felt like a vote against the OSDM, which put the abstainers off. It was too much like a one-party election.

@nothenrygale – I am with @bcbishop on this.

Let’s say that you included the abstainers in the “silence” votes, and because of that, silence won over “the one.”
If you had NOT included the abstainers, “the one” would have won because abstaining simply didn’t count at all.

By entering “silence,” you guessed wrong.

@nothenrygale I did not vote because I did not believe in your mission or the interaction with MyChild in the first place. And I sure as hell wasn’t going to be roped into playing your reindeer games just because you included an option to say “I don’t believe in this but imma support it anyway.” Do you truly not understand the difference?

Come at…[Read more]

@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]

@nothenrygale THIS! This is what I was trying to say (albeit less eloquently as brain is broken by life stuff) *high five*

One of the things that was impressed upon some of us last year was that visiting the OOA compound had unintended consequences; that return visits were keeping handlers and actors trapped there.

Basically, it emphasized the idea that the actions we took, no matter how noble, could have horrifying ramifications that we hadn’t even considered. It…[Read more]

Following up with my bits of the conversation as well…

What strikes me about the Noah answer @nothenrygale got was that it was pretty much a non-answer answer. “Should I go?” “I’m not saying you shouldn’t go.”

It has me wondering about all the other responses people received in this interaction – particularly given they were responses to…[Read more]

With Neil’s move and other things likely getting in the way of keeping that spotify playlist up to date, I’ve copied @nothenrygale‘s Google Play playlist to a new Spotify playlist here:

https://open.spotify.com/user/1215077365/playlist/35eiQbUrOeoiltJktc5ljZ

@nking, if you want to take over the Spotify list again just let me know, it’s yours.

@nothenrygale SHIRTS FOR EVERYONE! TAKE THAT TEAM JOYCE! (r.i.p. tho)

My vote is OUR DATA. In response to @nothenrygale on Slack, I wrote:

“I basically agree with all of that, but the OSDM are masters of folding lies and truth into one another as Mason (as much as I don’t trust him) pointed out. If we get truth, but not every last drop of it, they’re going to snow everyone again. Truth is also pretty broad and…[Read more]

@nothenrygale – so that question WAS on the questionnaire??

A couple of thoughts:

I did not participate in iConfidant. But what @nothenrygale just said is interesting, and it echoes others. I’m betting that Sabrina, or each author, was mirroring participants. I’m reminded of a question Small Dog Lover asked me out of the blue quite some time ago — what was my Briggs-Meyers type? It wouldn’t surprise…[Read more]

@nothenrygale – I needed to think through my options.

I could’ve:
1 – be silent.
2 – lie.
3 – wind, stop, or break the clock.

Each of those have an outcome. And I needed to make damn sure I was comfortable with that outcome.

@nothenrygale I have to agree with you on this. Those texts don’t seem to elicit a “yes” answer. But, in his defense, he was told to be careful what he said.

Yes sorry I got home and started my live show right away because I was late and totally forgot to edit it. I’ll just leave it. Voice to text is my nemesis. @nothenrygale @theladyj @mkarrett I was trying to catch up on stuff while at the salon and then it hit me while driving home that he could’ve been bluffing to fuck with us. Unfortunately that…[Read more]

Could it be Joyce was the mother of his child? Maybe in Mason’s mind, she was still alive in the trunk, therefore he would use a present tense of “is very involved”? The lyrics that @nothenrygale posted somewhat points to that.

@111error

In a way, I’m glad he’s dragging a corpse around and showing it off like a meat bouquet. Maybe now peo…

Sorry yes. Details. She did not smell like she was alive.

@kortneydarling I thought about that and took a blacklight to it. I’m not sure I want to break it open, but maybe I should? I kind of want to keep in intact.

@nothenrygale I don’t think he was just chilling with her in the trunk. I think it was on the way to disposal.
