From AV Flox:
It’s not easy to put your thoughts and experience out into the world, especially in a culture that believes that they have the right to destroy everything that isn’t hidden or somehow protected.
“Would you graffiti a car in the street just because it wasn’t parked inside a garage?” I asked a friend once.
“That analogy doesn’t even make sense,” she responded. “The car belongs to someone.”
“So do the words used to represent the thoughts this person is expressing. So does that blog. The internet is a space and a post is a person’s property. And by leaving a vicious and useless anonymous comment, you’re vandalizing it.”
She didn’t respond.

Glad you’re digging the blog. I just got your DM on Twitter–not creepy at all! I found your blog via Audacia Ray after she posted a link to your BlogOrlando discussion on Cover It Live. Some of the things you spoke about are still floating in my head today, waiting to be written about. Your blog has been the same way, bringing ideas and jump starting conversations. I added you to my blogroll and then I added you on Twitter. I think I added you on Facebook also. If I didn’t, I should.
So, I’m AV. I write about the weird, complicated entanglements people get into, from hook-ups to marriage, and how these connections are made easier or exacerbated by technology. I champion understanding materiality, learning to live in a sensual way, and being polite on the internet.
It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
