I hope you can program those Google Glass things so that they start listening to queries when you say “Hello computer?” in a Scottish accent.

If you guys are ever annoyed by my constant use of emoticons, I’m sorry!
The problem is my words tend to come off as sounding cold or sarcastic without them. The only thing that seems to make it sounds more… sincere, I guess, is an exclaimation mark.
…Bleeeh, why can’t there be intonation marks…
Same, I know I overuse them because of my own anxiety that what I’m saying might be misinterpreted as too harsh/sarcastic, but then sometimes I’m worried people misinterpret the smiley as me laughing at them or being patronising, so I have no idea any more. I just try to tell myself that other people probably don’t even notice, but that’s hard when there have been misunderstandings.
Basicly, interacting with people using just text sucks sometimes.
I tried to warn you, I swear I did.

The view outside my window is insane right now
On the lawn infront of my window, the boys from the boys school owned by my college are having a wheelbarrow race. Their uniforms involve black gowns that are fancier than the one I get to wear, very Harry Potter. In the walled garden beyond that there is a play being performed, involving lots of chaps in period dress shouting and gesticulating at each other. To the left of that, I can see some people having a croquet game. And then next to the deer park, a crowd of Japanese tourists are holding up iPads and taking each others photographs. I’m stuck inside reading Beowulf.
I don’t know how I’m going to be able to leave this place in four weeks, I genuinely don’t.

Another special recording with added sound and music!
The poem, set in 18th century England, tells the story of an unnamed highwayman who is in love with Bess, a landlord’s (innkeeper) daughter. Betrayed to the authorities by Tim, an ostler (stableman), the highwayman escapes ambush when Bess sacrifices her life to warn him. Learning of her death he dies himself in a futile attempt at revenge, shot down on the highway. In the final stanza, the ghosts of the lovers meet again on winter nights.

The Tagalong Bat: Will Art For Foodmoney!
Do you like the painty stuff I do? I’m now taking $15 or $25 paypal commissions. You’ll get the painty stuff I do, all you gotta do is show me the character you want and I’ll do it. Sorry, not doing multi-character pictures right now (unless the other character is an animal).
You’re paying…
Becky did a lovely comission for me a while ago that is currently in pride of place on my mantle piece! (And by lovely, I mean it’s a giant goat monster ;D) So if you think you’d like to treat yourself to some artwork, I recommend her!
Between the book gig and the wedding invites and a ton of other mostly-wedding things, I don’t see myself finishing the full-body. Here, Tumblr. Have a thing.
I love your thick lineart :D

“But I’m gay and this person is nice to me so them being against same-sex marriage doesn’t mean—”
1. A person being nice to your face (usually out of obligation) doesn’t mean they aren’t shitty to you from behind.
2. DENYING YOU RIGHTS IS BEING SHITTY TO YOUR FACE ANYWAY
3….
Surely having a definition of marriage that is different to your own doesn’t mean that someone is being “shitty,” necessarily. If someone, for example, has deeply held religious beliefs that marriage is between people of opposite sexes, but is a kind and compassionate person who acknowledges that other people will have different definitions of marriage, and won’t discriminate against them for their beliefs, what is the problem?
Oh sure that is nice that they don’t intend to put their bigotry into law but the thing of it is when they hold that same-sex couples are inherently inferior and their love is not sacred/legitimate/official enough for a union they are being a shitty person and do not consider LGBT persons to be fully realized persons!
How do people not understand this? If you think that a group of people should not have something that you get to have, you are thinking of yourself as superior, more deserving, more important than them.

Not necessarily. What we’re talking about here is the institution of marriage, a very culturally defined category, the rules of who can participate in it vary across the world.
Ok, super simplified and cliched example here, but the Dravidian peoples who live in India/Sri Lanka, for example, participage in cross-cousin marriage, where you marry your parents opposite sexed sibling if one is available. This broadly ends up creating two groups that intermarry, who are subsets of one family, lets think of them as A and B. Thinking that marrying in a different pattern (C) is wrong doesn’t mean that a Sri Lankan believes that group C are interior or less deserving, just that they don’t fit into what marriage is, because proper marriage is between group A and B.
There are bigotted people out there, who are fighting against a changing definition of marriage. I’m definately, definately not promoting bigotry here! Im just saying that if someone’s culturally prescribed beliefs about marriage is that it requires a man and a woman, they doesn’t by extension mean that they are horrible twisted people who see the LGBTQ as sub-human. Jumping to that conclusion is creating unhelpful barriers. We can’t attack or change people’s personal beliefs about marriage, that’s just going to create hostility. What we need to change is people’s willingness for forms of marriage other than their preferred one to be covered by legislation

(EDIT: Ok, reading this through again, there *is* a problem there, but I mean on a very personal level of interaction, the worst thing you could do is be angry and hostile to our hypothetical person-who-disagrees-with-gay-marriage )
