wellfourthingsso during yesterday's linkstorm, I did a brief test in the form of two tweets to see what sort of consequences would come of my talking about/retweeting the sex toy reviewers I've been learning from the last couple of days.
when deciding to do this test, I was thinking about the fact that following certain people was inevitably going to lead to the 'why are you retweeting a sex blogger' conversation, and the various ways that this could play out.
In all of this thinking through the potential consequences, not once did it occur to me that what would happen would instead be the blogger whose linkstorm I was caught in, herself, replying to me. did not see that coming. had absolutely no idea how to respond.
and then after that, and a conversation with a lovely person who for some reason continues to be okay with me going all rantypants on them, I proceeded to spend a really unreasonable length of time laughing about and at Lord Byron. even with the breaks in.
still sorta laughing about it on the inside. now have the new kinkshaming lord byron tag to live up to and a few toy related things in various stages of what the fuck. so.
