alifemaligned asked: I got my Brainmeat mug today and will have the Revenant print soon! I'm still totally down for a notebook/agenda. Will you be doing a different design for the cover if you do in fact do it? Should I send you my email or do you have a mailing list somewhere to sign up?
I think the Gay Agendas are too labor-intensive to justify producing them to sell, myself. I would have to charge more than people should be expected to pay for a cardboard organizer.
haveheartbeast-willtravel asked: Also, I'm not sure wording things about signing online petitions in such a way to suggest that the people signing them are only doing that. There was that study I linked to before that talked about how people involved with social media (including online petitions) do get more involved in the physical part of things more than people who aren't involved with social media. I might also be biased here as I do go out to protest and volunteer for causes though.
if you protest and volunteer, you probably aren’t the problem.

im sorry in advance for having to do this to you, but for a person with a sherlock avatar i gotta say…your powers of investigation might be a little rusty.

Anonymous asked: Thank you for saying that online petitions are meaningless. Its amazing how many people actually think that it will do something...
Right???
meganebishie asked: Hi. I was wondering if you could send me a copy of Tor in my mail since I can't download it from the different websites... Apparently, all of the websites I've visited have not yet validated their server's security certificate according to Google. I'm terrible sorry if this request sounds too imposing.
I’m not going to be any more “secure” than Tor’s own site, sorry.
Anonymous asked: Regarding all the ACTA/SOPA government shutdown madness... I'm scared. I hate to admit it. But this is really fucking scary.
GOOD.
frostysoul asked: Hey! I'm Polish and I just wanted to clarify some things. ACTA wasn't ratified in Poland, it was signed in Tokio by the ambassadress. Now it's up to the parliament to ratified it or not. Let's hope for the latter. Peace.
ok.

literally everything.
Anonymous asked: What will happen to tumblr if any of these bills pass? That is probably one of my only concerns.. because my friends on tumblr are like a family to me and losing them would be like losing everything important. Isn't there any way to stop the passing of these bills?
I have no way of predicting what will happen to Tumblr or how the feds will choose to enforce these things.
moare asked: Holy fuck. You were in my dream last night and it was the scariest goddamn dream and you and I were fucking fighting to the death. And you burnt down a school, and then I was windsurfing to try and outrun you and we were both all parkour and shit and then we got lost in the middle of nowhere and duked it out and then agreed to work together to get outta there. o.o What the hell is my brain doing?

“Protect the Person Behind You”
Masked shield corps protester at Occupy Oakland on January 28th with homemade shield and sign. A group of these people protected unarmed and legally-assembled civilian marchers during the Oakland Police Department attack on the action, including catching rubber bullets, baton blows, flashbang and teargas grenades, pepper balls, and beanbag weapons on their shields.
Her Ya Basta sign signals her membership in a long-running leftist group of the same name, who often take it upon themselves to protect vulnerable protesters at actions in this way.
Edit: on a personal note, it’s fascinating to see this kind of brilliant “character design” manifesting in real life. She’s the Space Marine of her time—customized armor, personal touches everywhere, absolutely hardassed and reliable in the face of an overwhelming, alien, indefatigable foe.
In the strange intersection of highly charged media images aimed at people with no real control over how they’re depicted, custom iconography becomes even more important. If you control your visual profile, and build a narrative around that, it resists spin and presentation. When Fox bashes Code Pink, the power of their image still forces them to use the Code Pink name, show the bright colors, and weakens the attempts to trash them.
This is the real power of Black Blocs, the Yes Men, the ELZN, beyond their numbers and activities, their iconography becomes its own narrative, and people interact directly with that, independently of potentially hostile reportage. Just like how even derogatory mentions cement loyalty to your favorite sports team.
