Let's have a new 2013 thread for Laurie Penny to get away from the stuff in the old thread.

[Hocus Eye.]

The old thread was not exclusively about Penny Red but I offer this one as a new start so that people who have been following her articles, blogs and tweets can draw attention to the latest news.

I think the title could have been a bit snappier.

 

[goldenecitrone]

Why not a Laurie Penny forum for all Laurie Penny related tidbits?

Feel free to edit it if you wish. I will trust your judgement.

 

[moochedit]

who? what? why?

Now that would be stalky

 

[Athos]

Creepy.

 

[elbows]

Thread instantly doomed to be a meta discussion about the discussion rather than a fresh chapter of the discussion.

Now that would be stalky

No different to the other thread. She is a public figure not afraid of attention.

We could keep this thread purely for lurid gossip. Apparently, she's had her frontal lobes pierced. According to her neurosurgeon.

Perhaps it'll improve her writing?

I judge that the use of the word "apparently" is a signifier for a piece of deniable fiction.

Only if we get to post pics of her dirty hovel for a critique of her bed making skills.

 

[goldenecitrone]

Filthy gaff.

That other thread had gone beyond just L.P though and was pointed more a the whole culture of left-ish/radical bloggers and their various degrees of despair inducing wilful twattery.

So basically, let's not.

I love the way that, if you're a female, all you have to do to get your own thread on this forum is to be vaguely political and a bit of a dick, but if you're male, you need to be Jimmy Saville.

Could change the title to something more fitting and likely to feature on Google when people are searching for critique of Laurie Penny, Sunny Hundal, Owen Jones, Nicholas Lezzard, blah blah.

The last thread had "SWP" in the title. I take that as a public warning not to click on the thread unless you are really really fucking bored.
