Sex, Gender, Politics, and everything in between
This doesn’t apply to all workers in the world, not by a long shot, as most do not have a choice at all, and most have much much worse working conditions as these. But to all those middle-to-working class people in the West, yes let’s all wake up to the absurdity of this system.
A message from Anonymous about ACTA. It’s really a shame that they don’t back up the information they’re giving. You have to take their word for it, or do extensive research on your own. In any case, it’s an issue worth considering.
Today was the Occupy Wall Street West day of action against the disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision that gave corporations the same free speech rights as people. (Jan 21 is the decision’s 2-year anniversary.) Rainforest Action Network and The Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment joined with Occupy Wall St. West to conduct a “man” hunt for Mr. Bank O. America, a corporate “person” who is considered an extreme menace to society.
Via Understory:Wanted: Mr. Bank O. America, Menace To Society
This morning, we conducted a manhunt in San Francisco. Or, I should say, a “man” hunt.
If corporations are people, then this Mr. Bank O. America fellow is a clear and present danger to society, and he must be brought to justice. So we teamed up with The Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, rounded up a posse, and searched the streets of San Francisco for this fugitive from justice.
We went to several of his known hangouts (otherwise known as Bank of America branches) with a citizen’s arrest warrant in hand. But the perp had flown the coop before we got to each location.
Just to make sure Mr. Bank O. America’s crime spree is brought to an end as soon as possible, we pasted the arrest warrant all over town. If he exists — which I’m beginning to doubt — we’ll catch him.Just what are Mr. Bank O. America’s crimes? It’s a long list. He’s a tax cheat who made off with BILLIONS in taxpayer dollars, even while he was putting thousands of Americans out of work by helping crash our economy. He’s a notorious bankroller of the dirtiest energy source — coal — and is thus responsible for poisoning countless communities across the States. And he has outright stolen more of America’s homes than any other bank-person-thing (sorry, the metaphor kinda broke down there — see how ridiculous the idea of corporate personhood is?).
ThePirateBay’s press release in regards to SOPA and PIPA.
THIS. EVERYONE SHOULD READ IT.
I don’t think the US Government has really stopped to consider what will happen to its culture if it shuts itself off from the world. How much does the youth of the USA learn from their interactions with the thoughts and creative output of people around the world? How much with the intellectual and cultural growth of the country be stunted by the isolation that this bill makes possible? Third world countries that are just beginning to receive access to the internet are learning so much, and becoming inspired by those more forward countries who put content up for the world to see. To risk taking that away from the citizens of the USA is foolish. The Internet is freedom. The industries who are losing money need to adapt to the Internet’s advances, not attempt to backtrack.
THEY CANNOT SILENCE THE WORLD.
(Video) Child PWNS commercialized gender-marketing …
This kid has it right — she asks a question that EVERYONE should be asking. Screw gender distinctions.
Haha, look out marketers, there are 4-year-olds who can see through your bullshit!
Lovely comment written on a lamp-post near me:

= ) True dat!
We had quite a debate about pornography, capitalism, sex work and anarchism on the facebook page of this blog. I thought other followers might be interested in the debate and the various point being made (especially toward the end). This is the cool thing about the page on facebook, debates. Tumblr isn’t really set up for that. If there’s something you want to talk about with me and the other followers, you might consider writing on the facebook page instead of submitting an ask. Just saying, I love asks too! = )
This week I’ve been working as an AV technician for a business summit at the Montreux Palace. It’s intitled “Elite: The Leading Private Wealth Management Summit”. In other words, the 100+ people in the room represent the most filthy rich billionnaire families of Europe. The things they talk about are nothing short of disgusting. These people are utterly consumed by greed. They live in such obscene wealth that they are incapable of grasping the reality of the rest of the world. The most extreme form of privileged blindness I have ever seen.
AND YET, they’re talking about Occupy Wallstreet and they are acutely aware of the fact that there’s a shift in mentalities happenning today that is questionning profit maximization and capitalism as a whole, not to mention democracy. Many of them see this as a market variable to exploit, but some are much more concerned. Without a doubt, the Occupy Movement is on their minds and they’re taking us very seriously.
this is me, I study anthropology, I consider myself an anarcha-feminist (if your wondering what that means, follow this blog!) ...oh and I love sex, photography (still & film) and asking way to many awkward and defying questions. that should suffice for now...
