Just, this. People bemoan technology (esp portable social media and the phenomenon of texting the person in the next (same?!) room) as the scariest thing about modern society. I politely disagree. This is scarier: http://maxistentialist.tumblr.com/post/4174573186/prints-available# Read more:HumanityFact: Gender Stereotypes are Stupid.Why Artists MUST Be Paid

Ten points if you know where that quote comes from 😉 This is something I meant to post a few weeks ago, and I’ve lost all of it now but the fundamental point. Never mind. It’s still worth noting. Society has spent millenia praising and revering the intellect. Man is a creature of reason, we

And by ‘it’, I obviously mean ‘me’. Just checking in to say that despite the fact I’ve thought of a couple of posts over the last nearly-three weeks, I haven’t been able to connect them with a computer to get them posted. Don’t even remember what they were, now. Eh. But the last three weeks
Sort of as a follow-up to the last post, and because it’s something I’ve been thinking a lot about the last few days, I wanted to make a list of all the things I’ve done/am doing to work towards my manifesto. It’s nice, when things get overwhelmingly BIG, to focus on the small picture sometimes.
