That Thing I Wrote is on my dash again

IT’S WEIRD TO ME EVERY TIME. 

I MEAN, GOOD. BUT WEIRD. 

LIKE. 

OH.

ANOTHER 3,000 PEOPLE HAVE READ THAT THING. 

THAT I WROTE. 

For the record, the first time I wrote That Thing (though it was edited slightly to be made into a post), it was written as part of an unmoderated comments thread in one quick angry burst and took me maybe 20 minutes. If that. 

It’s still weird to me that it’s, like, the most widespread thing I’ve ever had on the internet. Even more than than my TARDIS fridge. More than any vid I’ve ever made. Like many thousands and thousands of people have read That Thing I Wrote About Rape Jokes. 

My least favourite part of it is the lack of links to verify the “rapists think men all rape” stats, because I learned those in a psych class and don’t have the those texts handy to me any more. I wasn’t worried about it at the time, because it was just a comment thread and it was only meant to be part of a casual online conversation, but every time I see that now I think “I WISH I HAD THE CITATIONS FOR THAT”. I’ve seen people online find internet sources for the info and link to them after the fact, and I’m always super grateful to them. I never thought it’d be that scrutinized, because it was originally written as one comment in a several-hundred comment long thread. 

ANYWAY. 

YES. 

STILL WEIRD.

BUT COOL. 

HI, THAT THING I WROTE. 

HOW’S LIFE ON MY DASH AGAIN?

FEELING GOOD? 

I AM GOING TO DO MY BEST NOT TO DRIVE MYSELF UP THE WALL BY LOOKING AT YOUR NOTES, BECAUSE SERIOUSLY. 

ANYWAY. YES. GOOD. MOVING ON.
