Since this came up today again and I felt really bad about it, I'm going to put this out there: I don't do talks anymore. At all. It doesn't matter how awesome it is or how crazy it would be for me to turn it down. Nope. Podcasts/interviews? That's fine! /1

Generally in this world, to keep your sanity,, you have to rebel against expectations, and even more so if you're a minor niche internet celebrity. So all that stuff goes. All of it. It's irrelevant. Fuck it and be happy. 6/

Talks are even easier to throw into the "fuck that' category. Quite frankly, for me they cause waaaaay to much anxiety, take forever to prepare, reach a very limited audience, and at the end of the day I'm just not a good public speaker nor do I aspire to be one! 7/

So that's where I'm coming from if I get asked about doing a talk. It really is the official policy and it'll be the same answer no matter who it is! 8/
