The Mandate

I want to officially remind myself, and everyone else who may have forgotten, that Dessert Tickets is not FOR anything except conversation. It was founded on a principle of nondiscrimination and thrives on that same principle: no post is any more or less worthwhile than any other. The less we try to control the blog, the more comfortable everyone will be to post and comment on whatever strikes their fancy, and the better the ideas--the experience--will be. No post is too long, too risqué, too out there, too smart, too dumb, too much about bacon. To paraphrase Dostoevsky: If skullfucking is okay, then everything is permitted. If the cost of that freedom is having to scroll down a little farther to see if my new opus has any comments, then so be it. Let none of us harbour any resentments about the direction of the blog--it is directionless, except in a very loose, anarcho-syndicalist kind of way.

To Dessert Tickets, now and always.
