- @Adisson89 Right? Not even pretending to be empowering! Wish more religious propagandists showed their true color: intellectual slaver scum! in reply to Adisson89 #
- @Adisson89 All the more reason to shout about self-empowerment & rational thinking from the mountaintops. See also why I do @KinkOnTap, etc. in reply to Adisson89 #

- An hour & a half to find a precision screwdriver but Radio Shack's tools are money down the toilet. I hate this fucking consumer culture. :( #
- Need a screwdriver that's not total shit (ie not Radio Shack crap) to get at hard disk in dead laptop. This should NOT be such a f'n ordeal. #
- Thx to all who're retweeting @helio_girl & my request for donations for @KinkOnTap. We sincerely appreciate your support. Give what you can. #
- My laptop died. I need your help to keep doing @KinkOnTap, @KinkForAll, @MaleSubmission, etc. Pls consider donating at http://KinkOnTap.com. #
- Hunt for non-shitty screwdriver continues. Store 6 down. :( Maybe Tekserve will have 1? I can't believe it's this hard to find tools in NYC. #
- 3hrs+$30 later, I finally have decent tools. Next step: Operation data rescue. Steps: 1) MacBook Pro disassembly. 2) Data transfer. 3) Pray. #
- @vniow Thanks but I also used to repair these things for a living. ;) I had all the tools I need in my SF apartment but yeah, in NYC now. :( in reply to vniow #
- @robertgravina That's very nice but I really couldn't care less about the latest, greatest models. I want a computer NOW, not next month. :) in reply to robertgravina #
- Disassembly of my dead MacBook Pro: http://twitpic.com/vdxem My family has never seen the inside of a computer before. They're bedazzled. :) #

- @djoris Thx. I already tried zapping PRAM, reseating RAM, resetting SMC, and all the other power-checking steps. I bet it's the logic board. #
- @MollyRen You don't need someone to teach you. Check out the AMAZING !Mac hardware #disassembly #guides at http://iFixIt.com. Awesome stuff. in reply to MollyRen #
- @MollyRen You don't need someone to teach you. Check out the AMAZING #Mac hardware #disassembly #guides at http://iFixIt.com. Awesome stuff. #
- @xoccam Nice tips, thanks! Good news is my disk was fine. The issues w/my laptop are most likely the logic board, but I needed the data now. in reply to xoccam #
- Really interesting historical-technical perspective on #Internet #identity and #privacy by @xoccam inspired by @KinkOnTap: http://tr.im/II73 #

- All of so-called "ramped up" airport security I'm hearing about seems pathetically reactionary: http://bit.ly/8PUw9i Rly the best we can do? #
- Long night of ensuring data integrity. I've copied bulk of stuff to new laptop. Tomorrow I re-assemble+play the application re-install game. #
- Are. You. Fucking. KIDDING ME?! Why's there JACKHAMMERING near our window at 8:30AM on the Sunday morning after Christmas? This is NOT fair. #

- Sexuals PLS read♺ @sexgenderbody Asexual curiosities: So just what do you do all day? http://ff.im/-dlAJf "How often…do you spend on girls?" #

- My half-brother plays games after returning from a fight with my step-mom outside as my parents talk. Thinking I'll close my eyes for a bit. #
- @agahran Maybe I'm just eternally naieve, but I honestly don't understand why ppl say things like that. Why don't we have happier #families? in reply to agahran #
- ♺ @melissagira Providence: also home to billboards for crisis pregnancy centers. "Text OMGSRSLY for anti-choice propaganda!" /cc @helio_girl #

- Site of professional writer uses MaleSubmissionArt.com as only source of its images http://ur1.ca/ij8b Interesting to compare w/book covers. #
- Yes, I'm tweeting to avoid familial pain. But think of WHAT I'm tweeting. I'm working to make families of tomorrow happier. You should, too. #
- FTR, let me say that thru all the familial pain, 1 thing is obvious: my #father is an unsung hero. His house rules: "1) Have fun. 2) See 1." #
- I gave my brother a @WordPress-powered site for Christmas. He's asking how to organize his game reviews. We talk #Information #Architecture. #
- Showed bro RSS. "Now I know what that icon does" he says, adding feeds to his new site. He's learning more tonight than in weeks of #school. #
- Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. :( My #MacOSX laptop died suddenly, won't boot and doesn't even sound the startup chime. #

- Waiting for my connecting flight en-route to #NYC for an all-too-brief vacation I'm post-processing #KFADC videos by Morgan, @DDog & Gerard. #
- Motivations many have to call EVERYTHING "gender" is unhelpful. #Gender is a compound. Why are so few splitting it into its component parts? #
- @DDog Clarifying: I wasn't specifically referring to your talk—it just reminded me of other things. It also inspired this: http://vb.ly/118t in reply to DDog #
- Landed in #NYC & headed to family Xmas. Done post-processing @DDog & Morgan's #KFADC videos. Will upload tonight as my present to the world. #
- Discovering significant damage to exterior of my suitcase that wasn't there this morning. Holes, broken handle & zippers. :( C'mon @JetBlue. #

- Exactly what http://tr.im/kot21 is abt!♺ @cand86 My status on sex workers' rights+ensuing debate was last straw, made my bud leave Facebook. #
- PAY GOOD TEACHERS MORE! ♺ @dkorten Study: highest paid jobs destroy social value, lowest paid create it http://bit.ly/6LobgE /cc @helio_girl #
- Um…that is frightening. ♺ @chrismessina: "new form of [e]commerce is exchange of personal info for something of value." —J Rosenberg, Google #
- Very intriguing idea. "In many ways @Blippy achieves something Twitter does not: passive sharing." http://bit.ly/6lLE0J via @sitepointdotcom #
- NO DIFFERENCE btw "Facebook Revenge" slut-shaming http://ur1.ca/ig65 & sexting bullying that killed Hope Witsell http://ur1.ca/ig67 STOP IT! #
- #Twitter "local trends" http://➡.ws/ is cool but misses a bigger opportunity: "group trends." Tell me what's trending among those I follow. #
- So, so happy it's finally #vacation time. 1st time in a year I plan to NOT do tons of "personal project" #work. We'll, uh…see how that goes. #
- ♺ @ijulien: If you set your goals ridiculously high & it’s a failure, you'll fail above everyone else’s success. http://tumblr.com/x6e4nkurl #
- Whoa, my post "8 Things #Submissive #Men Want From a Dominant Partner" http://ur1.ca/igu4 is №6 in Google search for "submissive men." #BDSM #
- Many "good reasons to keep lists of sex." Yup! I use iCal. ♺ @thomasroche: Great post: Sex Lists & Slut Pride http://ur1.ca/igzz via @jizlee #
- @mivox Aw, thanks. :) I'm sincerely moved that you (and evidently many others) genuinely appreciate what I'm writing, saying and working on. in reply to mivox #
- @DDog I asked for a beta account at @BedPost like, a year ago, but have yet to get accepted. Maybe I just don't have sex w/enough people. :) in reply to DDog #
- Business idea. cc @seancolombo ♺ @misscalico: easier to be upset+idealistic—or in my case make money & spend it—than be smart+get shit done. #
- "We can't fail. We're insane ppl trying to do impossible tasks—an insane person doesn't know what an impossible task is." http://ur1.ca/ih18 #
- Now http://MeitarMoscovitz.com matches my business cards except it's clickable. Which is great, cuz my home page is my online business card. #
- Ppl who say #men are #submissive cuz "they're looking for relief from stress" don't know shit. It's not about stress, it's about having sex. #
- Same goes for ppl who say #men are #submissive cuz "they have low self-esteem." Fuck that very much; only serves to reinforce a flawed idea. #
- @seraglioletters @zebramaedchen Right, that's what I'm saying. Dominant men don't suddenly get submissive when they need relief from stress. in reply to seraglioletters #

- Also stuff like ♺ @SaraEileen: Did you know 7 US States ban atheists from public office? http://bit.ly/82DFff via @AudaciaRay @TheUndomestic #
- In developer hell. No way to do A because of B but not way to do B because of C, which is broken because of D. This. Is. So. Very. Annoying. #
- Wow! This is GREAT news! ♺ @chrismessina 1 consequence of a more transparent society? Facebook tied to 20% of divorces: http://bit.ly/85rWra #
- @nikolasco Oh, of course, dishonesty is to blame, not Facebook. That's exactly what the last paragraph in the Facebook divorce article says. in reply to nikolasco #
- "Great news" about Facebook "causing" divorces isn't about #marriage but about how #social #media is teaching us to be honest w/ each other. #
- @JohnBaku Can you shed any light on why @FetLife team "castrated" you for suggesting "masochist," "sub," & "slave," shouldn't be lowercased? in reply to JohnBaku #
- @BladeBronson Found the issue as you left. It wasn't Firebug, it was another copy-paste code job. Fixed+committed thank our unmerciful lord. in reply to BladeBronson #
- Wow, there's some vicious #drama circulating on the #Internet lately. Thankfully, I can't care. I'm going heads-down, working on Doing Good. #
- ♺ @IdentityWoman @itsthomas: Nonprofits w/Facebook fan pages: be sure you know abt upcoming changes affecting your page http://bit.ly/8KddR6 #
- Tried #StatusNet's new "repeat" function. It feels like an exact analog of Twitter's "retweet" feature. Still strongly dislike lack of edit. #
- Post-processing Kink On Tap audio, I'm feeling disappointed in myself. I think I could've done much better encouraging panelists than I did. #
- I say "and" way, WAY too often. I wish there was a way I could tally all instances of it in my speech so I could pledge to reduce it by 50%. #
- Coolest new feature of #StatusNet has to be #geolocation, displayed w/the glory of @microformats no less! Seriously awesome, @evan, et. al.! #
- @edythemighty Yeah, the #geolocation is off by about 20min walk for me, too, but that's better than nothing! Also less creepy. :) #StatusNet #
- @JanesGuide Try the WP-JanesGuide #WordPress plugin now. It's been updated to version 0.3, is more flexible now. LMK if you do. /cc @aagblog in reply to JanesGuide #
- @aagblog LMK is Internet for "let me know." :) And, no problem. I'll admit I did NOT test this latest version thoroughly but "should be" ok. in reply to aagblog #
- Wow…it's only been 1mo & my #KFADC video has 1000+ views! http://vimeo.com/7783159 Best part is the encouraging comments: http://ur1.ca/if6n #

- Oh. My. Fucking. God. Why the ONE morning I decide I need a day off I get woken up 4 times by random coincidences? Innocent intent, but WHY? #
- Exactly what I wanted to say on #KinkOnTap yesterday: "Making #privacy an individual option takes it away from the poor." http://is.gd/5w0ji #
- @seraglioletters That's exactly what they've said: sensible #defaults help EVERYONE. And they also say "rich" means more than just money. :) in reply to seraglioletters #
- Can someone explain why people are jumping on this Formspring.me bandwagon and why I should care? If you have questions to ask me, just ask. #
- I signed a #petition to protect #sex workers from harmful effects of the Anti-Prostitution Loyalty Oath. So should you: http://bit.ly/52a1YD #
- @Adisson89 I don't trust that. Especially not when Formspring pushes "Connect w/Facebook" options. Anonymity on the Internet is an illusion. in reply to Adisson89 #
- @JanesGuide Thx for your heartfelt reviews of my many sites! I made WP-JanesGuide to help you help others. Keep up the great work you do! :D in reply to JanesGuide #

- Researching #SVG for a company preso tmrw morning. I'm again reminded how many technical problems are solved but sadly no one knows. #webdev #
- @nikolasco Right. "Sufficient" means "anonymous enough." And that's all anyone's realistically going to get on the #Internet is my point. :) in reply to nikolasco #
- Well said. ♺ @writingdirty: An #Internet life works best when it's an extension and amplification of real life, not a replacement or escape. #
- @nikolasco I totally agree. This is another reason why promoting the #Internet as an "anonymous" medium is a grave mistake for any business. in reply to nikolasco #
- @soakland You're not weird…or maybe I'm weird too. I also like hand-editing SVG but rarely do. Closest I get is using tools like @RaphaelJS. in reply to soakland #
- @ivanteoh No worries. :) @RaphaelJS is, indeed, very cool. Now I'm thinking about turning my #SVG presentation notes into a blog post later. #
- No. Way. This guy LITERALLY reinvented the wheel & actually made it better: http://ur1.ca/icxn Also gave birth to "a mechanical lifeform"?! #

- @diabola Not your fault. I feel like I should blog about why that pisses me off so much but I have other more pressing work to do right now. in reply to diabola #

- "Notion that reading abt #sexuality should be off limits for #youth is ludicrous." http://vb.ly/xnd MUST READ post on "age-appropriateness." #
- We criminalize #youth #sexuality, but acquit police officers when they attack #sex workers. http://vb.ly/xne Can someone explain this to me? #
- @diabola Well, I recommend @ThumperMN & @taomlin, but they self-identify differently. Also Stephen Elliott. I hear some have recommended me. in reply to diabola #
- Okay, weird. @helio_girl is the third person today to have had a dream about me last night. @ASimon89 & @a_rdr are the other 2 I know about. #
