dAnAh is upset – again

So it was about a year ago – that danah boyd got real upset at me for posting an image of a host of a party (we were putting on) having fun. She felt as though it wasn’t a very professional way of promoting a ‘professional’ party. I stated at the time …

Why don’t you capitalize certain things like your name and “i”? I’ve seen other people do this and I just don’t get it.

In my mind, I just removed all the gutters so I could vicariously hang out with you, Tom, and Anil at the same time.

(Which seems to be the wishful thinking of the ‘author,’ as well.)

What’s with the kitty-cat?

huh? seems like the point of that comic is not so much to be funny as to show what an insider the author is by confusing as many people as possible.

Charicatures are not offensive (only ones that are really badly done may be). I would be flattered . This one merely indicates that you’ve gained a bit of notoriety and a certain amount of clout. Heh… you go girl!

Yeah, pathetic comic. Remember though: there is NO SUCH THING as bad publicity. There’s just publicity.

Whether or not you WANT it, is another matter

Sounds like your Ph.D. is an interesting inquiry. I started a xanga about a year ago and have found it to be at times both wonderful and a bother. Good luck with your work.

Danah, while all humans seek comfort and solace in our identity, thus creating a peer group, I fund it way over-the-top amusing so many “individualists” cry out with torment that the “man” won’t let U B U. The battle cry of conformist that believes she is anarchist.

I can’t tell you the number of “wild eyed” flaming orange hair, thrift-store chic wannabe militant {insert sexual preference one wants to be known as “lifestyle”} have come hungrily clamoring to the shared orgasmic pole of
dissertation alternate reality wish fulfillment.

I don’t begrudge or judge individualists. I, however, will never be impressed (as will not my lackeys and yes-men) by the army of women who dress as a gay John Lennon. I bet you argue internally daily whether to get a tattoo or piercing that would really make you stand out.

You would get more attention on the internet posting pictures of interesting moles and blurry shadowy masturbatory imagery.

Thus spaketh Zarathrustra.

Please enjoy my bubbling commentary, not to let darkness occlude your inner vision.
