Lin, how did you even survive in the dorms? x’D
Nursen fed me. Also, the cafeteria provided me dinner. It’s okay though—I just ordered a pint of ice cream to get delivered to me.
…yeah, I’m not going to make it past 23.

This is bad.

never go down on a capitalist, they’ll let you do all the work and then insist they came solely through their own hard work & self-determination.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________The Internet Defense League
The Internet can always use more heroes and Alexis Ohanian, founder of Reddit, and Fight for the Future have formed the Internet Defense League to make it so.
Public enemy number one: ACTA and CISPA style legislation that seems to sprout like mushrooms these days.
Via Forbes:
Ohanian describes the project, which they plan to officially launch next month, as a “Bat-Signal for the Internet.” Any website owner can sign up on the group’s website to add a bit of code to his or her site–or receive that code by email at the time of a certain campaign–that can be triggered in the case of a political crisis like SOPA, adding an activist call-to-action to all the sites involved, such as a widget or banner asking users to sign petitions, call lawmakers, or boycott companies.
“People who wish to be tapped can see, oh look, the Bat-Signal is up. Time to do something,” says Ohanian. “Whatever website you own, this is a way for you to be notified if something comes up and take some basic actions…If we aggregate everyone that’s doing it, the numbers start exploding.”
Developers are encouraged to join the League. GitHub is here, a Google Group here and Tracker is here.
Love that Alexis Ohanian has jumped into online activism with both feet. It may be an even bigger gift to the Web than Reddit was.
totally happening, guys
#YES. I hope he’s in costume #and we see Billie Piper as Rose cheering in the crowd #extra bonus points if they get Matt #and David passes the torch to Matt #actually they need to get all the living Doctors #and they pass the torch to each other #while Jack makes some very improper innuendos #and River smirks and checks this off her to do list in her diary#and Donna sees this and is trying to remember why this is important #and no tags do NOT get angsty #go back to David Tennant #David Tennant with fire#there we go that’s good
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________“Our communities are depressingly polluted, social services are being cut left and right and hunger is very real right here in America. So hearing that the United States government spends $20 billion in Afghanistan each year on air conditioning alone stings just a little. When it comes to war, the U.S. Treasury is hemorrhaging cash, yet Congress demanded that President Obama cut things like high-speed rail, United Nations support and funds for the Environmental Protection Agency from the 2012 fiscal year budget.”
1. Domestic hunger relief
2. High-speed rail transportation in the U.S.
3. Public health programs
4. Protecting the environment
5. Cleanup projects
6. Education
7. Jobs
8. Housing for low-income families & homeless
9. Scientific research
10. Organic farming
11. Wind energy
© John Clang, 2009, ‘Time’ series (#1: Wall Street, #2: Chinatown)
For his project, photographer John Clang shot various locations multiple times from the same perspective, and then ripped and wove the photographs together to show multiple points in time in each image. See more pictures here.
“A series that involves recording a location, to show the passing of time in a montage style. There is a sense of intimate intricacy of how time moves, and how people, albeit in a different time, are actually closer to one another and traveling in the same shared space. I’ve always been intrigued by the constant subtle changes in my urban environment. Every subtle shift affects my feelings and thoughts, hence my images respond acutely as a poetic reflection of myself in this environment. Working on this series, I explore how time moves in this seemingly static urban space. The people become the moving energy flowing through this space, marking the changes, forming the time. These images also explore my fascination that there are probably many time dimensions in this universe. We may have a ‘life’ that exists similarly on a different path, one minute before or after the one we’re living now. We merely just exist in this current dimension, and sometimes when time paths collide, we have déjà vu experience.” (John Clang)

Again, to everyone who messaged me, thank you so much for your support. I’m definitely enjoying my freedom!

This is such a sad ‘what-if exercise….
