Neil has put out a statement:

....variations on a theme, that have come ad nauseum from so many of these rat bastards...I'll give him the fact that some of this may not be true.....in no way am I excusing anything-just saying facts become fluid....however, the refrain is all to familiar...."I was a bad boy, and I'm working on myself".....blah, blah, puke, gag....you're a piece of shit Neil....pound THAT sand, man.....

Side note: also S3 of Good Omens is totally fk'd up because of this. I'm (additionally) annoyed about this. I freaking loved that show.

John Scalzi has a simple write-up on his Whatever blog that is worth a read. 

John talks about the best case scenario which is still pretty fucking bad. What Neil admits to is still pretty skeezy. 

I have always been one who wants these things  to play out before judging. That doesn’t mean I don’t have opinions though. But in this situation, once their kid took a role in this adult shit, that is where my mind exploded.  I HAVE to side with the victims and that little boy. I have to. 

If it comes to light that all this is false, I will admit I was wrong. No problem. But again, the things he has admitted to make my skin crawl. I own what I own of his stuff. But I won’t be buying anything new. 

He’s let a lot of people down, disappointed not only fans but friends, family, colleagues. Their struggle of what to do with this is sad. 

Many will stay quiet like John mentions, some might say something. But, I won’t condemn them for hanging onto the Neil they know/knew until they might not be able to.

Anyone hear from Neesy? She usually pops in. I hope all is well with her family.

While many of you are uninterested or weary of this Neil Gaiman topic, I find it utterly fascinating in an observational way. 

Listening and watching others struggle, support, accept, condemn while processing these alleged accusations  — I feel much the same way as I feel while watching and listening to Trump supporters. I become a spider, sitting on the edge of my web, people watching— a Dian Fossey or Jane Goodall researcher. 

They are all bugs in a jar, just as I may be to someone else. Not in a bad way, in a curious way. 

So, I continue to sit back and take it all in and I recommend a Youtube put up today by Library of a Viking. Just a fan speaking his thoughts, but quietly eloquent imo. Under 10 minutes.

Amanda has issued a statement asking that we respect her privacy because of ongoing divorce and custody. 

Like someone said on reddit, “she wants her boundaries respected”, unlike what she did to their victims. Fucking hairy hag. 

Tag team rapists.

I'm happy because the snow and ice has melted and i can stop waddle-ing all over the place which is nice. 5 C now (41 F) which is high to be in january. I only hope it stays this way. But i have a sneaky feeling that Winter has one or two more tricks up his sleeve before hes done.

....I actually read that a penguin like waddle and posture is the safest way to keep from falling on your ass.....and who knows?....somebody might toss you a herring!....

They involved their kid? I haven't heard very much about any of this, I had to Google him to find out the bones of it initially. Jesus.

So I am grocery shopping online.  I wanted some apples, but I am not familiar with this variety.  So I looked it up and this is the first description I got.

Things to know

Taste…What do opal apples taste like?

And like a good ass, the Opal apple is exceptionally sweet and juicy. In fact, the complex flavor profile featuring hints of banana, coconut, and pear make this Czech-born, oddly-named monstrosity a delight to consume

Like What??
