Scratch:Right!
Winc:Tell me, why *didn’t* you Register?
Scratch:Oh, well. ::heavy sigh:: I don’t do connectivity well.
Winc:Connectivity? You’re all about connectivity. I for one can vouch for your limber and lubricated connectivity.
Scratch:Oh not that! But thank you. No, I mean: driver’s licenses, traffic tickets, library cards, memberships, taxes. I might build a whole philosophy out of resistance, but the truth is…
Winc:::still listening::
Scratch:That’s it. No big philosophy. No noble reasons.
Winc:::covering my mouth::
Scratch:I knew you’d laugh. And you? Why didn’t *you* Register?
Winc:Kind of similar. Nothing noble.
Scratch:Yeah?
Winc:Third question in the Reg form. Sex:_________.
Scratch:::blinking:: Why not just put female? Or whatever you wanted?
Winc:It’s not that easy. I’m still male on my driver’s license, birth certificate, etc.
Scratch:Oh. Come to think of it, that’s about where I gave up, too.
Winc:I take it you don’t want to be the Coalition spokesperson.
Scratch:I’d fuck it up.
Winc:But I think your other idea is good.
Scratch:Which one?
Winc:The strike.
Scratch:Oh, that was just an example.
Private Message to Winc
Toobe:Orlio is going to send me stuff from The Rally!
Winc:You’re not risking going are you????
Toobe:::snort:: I’d be nabbed. Gotta be careful.
Winc:Okay cool. Whew!
Winc:No, I mean it, we should strike.
Scratch:Yeah, right. How would we get everybody to do it?
Winc:::looking at my mailbox, looking at yours:: I think we could get the word out.
Scratch:Email them all?
