Fuck Target
tzikeh:
Target is selling a “jokey” Valentine’s Day card (pictured above) that equates stalking with romance.
Say it with me, now:
Fuck Target.

Guest Blog: Jonathan Diener of The Swellers
absolutepunk:
Yesterday I lamented that maybe re-thinking how we support the music we love wasn’t such a bad idea. I heard a lot of responses throughout the day; many from bands (one of the more interesting to me was the idea of gift cards for common places a band would visit on tour). With that, Jonathan Diener from The Swellers, was so inspired by the topic and ensuing discussion - that...

Co-fucking-signed!
wilwheaton:
Just so I’m clear: Misogyny in advertising on TV is totally okay. Violence on TV is totally okay. Encouraging people to self-diagnose mental illness on TV is totally okay.
Flipping the bird on TV, though, is totally not okay.
Is that pretty much it?
Okay, that’s what I thought. So, allow me to just say something real quick here, okay?
For fuck’s sake, America, it’s not the 1950s...

The Target Isn’t Hollywood, MPAA, RIAA, Or MAFIAA:...
In reactions to my last column on TorrentFreak, concerning how we must go on the offensive for our freedom of speech, I saw many questions and emotions asking what it takes to get Big Monopoly – the copyright industry – to listen to the net and change their ways. A number of suggestions were made, from boycotts to petitions. Alas, this is entirely the wrong way to bring about change.

Replying to IfSheHadWings
ifshehadwings replied to your photoset: So…we’ve got a new kitten. He looks a lot like… awwww, kitty! :-D
He’s very sweet. We’re pretty sure he’s wild though. Sister found him shivering outside and brought him in.

Funny things
baileythebookworm:
You know, “nice guys” are amusing. When “nice guys” wonder aloud why they’re single and feel so sad about their lives because they’re so fucking nice and ladies only want to date assholes, I sit there and giggle and chuckle and laugh until I can’t breathe. Because fuck you, nice guy - you are an asshole.
You find me any single person who isn’t a bitter jackass and ask them...

Retold Fairy Tales: A Recs List
ifshehadwings:
So, I really love retold fairy tales. I’ve read … a lot of them. And after spamming you all with that frozen rose picture for a while, Caly indicated that she would not be averse to a recs list. So … here they are. They are retold fairy tales that I have enjoyed. That’s the only qualification. In no particular order. Enjoy! (Links are to the Amazon pages.)

Email the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation... →
I changed up the default text, this is what I sent them:
You disgust me!
My younger sister is battling breast cancer & every year I have donated to your foundation in her honor. No more. Your decision to place the misogynistic lies of immoral people above the lives of actual women is revolting and murderous.
You no longer represent women and health, you represent all those parts of our...

WatchThe Sunshine Makers
I don’t know how to describe this except to say that I saw this film when I was around 4 years old and even then I identified with the unhappy, black-wearing, gnomes. I felt sheer fucking horror at what the awful little happy gnomes were doing to the sad ones. I still do.

tzikeh:
ytisonimul:
I’m a relative newbie to Tumb1r, and I enjoy it, for what it is. However, I’m not a newbie to fandom or the ways of the internet. I’ve noticed a weird trend over the past week or so—people using it/fandom (because my tumb1r is a fannish tumb1r) to raise money for fans who are sick or in dire…
Yes, yes, a MILLION TIMES YES. I have been online going on 30 years, and I have...

Canada Is About To Pass Sopa’s Evil Little... →

“I’m a Canadian.
We’re a quiet bunch; prone to enjoying hockey, drinking stronger beer than our friends south of the border, and lovers of fries smothered in cheese curds and gravy.
We also, apparently, have an inferiority complex when it comes to being evil dirt bags, because we’ve decided to pass our very own version of SOPA up here.
