@thesublemon I am trying to work out how Shakespeare, Monty Python, and dril's tweets aren't considered nerdy.@sarahdoingthing1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@thesublemon Are we talking only about the "nerds" that consume pulp fantasy/sci-fi? Surely not alone in their bad taste.@sarahdoingthing2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@sebinsua@sarahdoingthing as nerdism has gone mainstream a lot of failure modes have converged, which is harder to pin down1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes
@thesublemon And it's *not* nerdy to see art on a deeper level? Nerdism is surface-level thinking? My frame must be wrong. @sarahdoingthing

@thesublemon I did not know your meaning of the word. Some kind of audience with a shared fetish that can be triggered to get a like.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like - 1 more reply
