Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

that might be why the person has shown up at the wedding site (featured on jezebel) and io9

Was it? I hadn't even realised. Still, she pops up in links from LJ, and it scares me. My world is converging, and I can't breathe.

Or any of their friends or family!

Somehow I think that's really unlikely.

I think it's sweet that anyone can be that sheltered and privileged (destination and themed weddings in South Africa can't come cheap) in today's world. That, I hope, takes some accomplishing.

Part of me wants to feel bad that their wedding photo blog got crashed with strangers slamming them, but FUCK. They have mock slaves at their wedding. Sudden attack of perspective.

Hmm. I think I need to order a Captain America T-shirt for the movie viewing. I hope it will get here in time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Somehow I think that's really unlikely.

Um, yeah. Apparently.

Yikes.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Is there a generally respected movie review site that'll point out potential skeeve in a movie?

Mr. PMoon?

Good start. I will bookmark him. Though I'm also looking for someplace that will point out skeevy gender stuff or "hey, lots of funny, funny rape jokes" because apparently I am done paying money for things like that.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Livejournal is pretty much my resource for that. It does require that someone takes the hit and sees the movie. Someone not getting paid for it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

We should start that site. You know, in all our free time.

Cass,

if you find a good site, please give a holler because I would read it in a minute.

So I'm coordinating a collection for my friends who got robbed. Can't replace all the work that was on the computers, nor their sense of security. But we can at least do this much. And I don't know if it would have occurred to me without having witnessed and been a part of such similar efforts on this board. So thank you.

I'm hoping, given their large circle of friends, that we can raise enough to at least replace both of the personal laptops. I'd like to reach out to their families as well, if for no other reason than to let them know that we've got their kids' back out here.
