batten down the hatches

MoonFail is about to go viral.

I interviewed Elizabeth Moon this morning and will be writing up a story about this affair for my Sunday paper. It will then be available via the Associated Press.

This could get even uglier than it has been so far, and that's saying something.

Oh, for fuck's sake. :P

Fun times, fun times.

THANK THE GODS, NOW SHE CAN BE HEARD AT LAST!!!

I just don't even.

Poor suffering white Christian straight cisgendered baby, being silenced so cruelly that her views are being picked up by the fucking Associated Press for global consumption. My heart bleeds.

Sadly, this will probably boost her book sales.

Did you click through Won't Sh*tt*rly's link & read his "6 reasons why Wiscon shouldn't have uninvited Moon"?

[lanning]

Yes, unfortunately. Undiluted flapdoodle. So much tender concern for the nice white bigot lady, and none for the people she insulted.

Yes, she probably will make a lot of money. If I were the cynical type, I'd say that was the whole point.

I bristled at the idea that being 65 years old somehow makes it okay--he even compared her to those "nice" grandmas of our youth who were overtly racist 'cos it was all they knew. Sixty-five is just not "elderly". I want to hit Won't with my walker.

[lanning]

Heh. My mother is 78 and she'd brain me if I called her "elderly." He's so full of crap.

May I friend you?

[lanning]

Absolutely! Welcome. :)
