after a long time i have finally found the webcomic made for me.

someone apparently took Dilbert and adapted it to my job.

without further ado, Unshelved.

in related news, it's Banned Books Week. Many, many books are challenged yearly in attempts to remove them from public libraries and schools. It is largely up to librarians and teachers to

oops, i changed this whole entry and took the comic off and added a bunch of really serious stuff.

but yeah, Unshelved is hilarious.

great comic! Now if they'd only make one about science labs. Wait. That would either be boring or indecipherable to most. And probably the former. Back to work.

just out of curiosity, with all of that burning moral outrage of yours, do you participate in activism or other pedal-to-the-metal volunteering, etc, or is it mostly talking to friends and lj?

i am a slack-ass hypocrite when it comes to political activism. however, i am about to become an underpaid union employee, so i think all that is about to change. part of my reason for not going to marches, etc. was to avoid utopian trustafarian kids, a constant scourge on my fair town. they make protests less like berkeley in the '60s and more like burning man in the '90s. i guess i was raised to think that protesting injustice has not been an especially fun activity throughout human history, and lots of people today, especially in santa cruz, see protests as a reason to party

You're my kind of activist, buddy. The trustafarian thing is almost enough to forever sour my political relationship with Santa Cruz. Portland is a much more cosmopolitan city, but not so large that it loses idealism and reform.

Part of my reason for asking -- full disclosure! -- is that my own balance comes up wanting, almost always, and it bothers me.

i completely understand. it is tough for me to watch video of old anti-vietnam protests and see people so serious about what they're doing, because so seldom do i see that kind of protest today. they say nixon ended the draft to quell protests on college campuses, and it worked to a certain degree. a couple years ago, a democratic congressman tried to pass a law bringing a universal draft back, because he thought if people were made to serve they wouldn't, and would demand the war be ended

Hah I totally remember the Dan Flynn incident. I didnt go, but I remember everyone talking about it.

a simlarly event happened when Ward Connerly came to talk at UCSB. he had stuff thrown at him, was yelled at, and eventually booed off the stage.

i don't like seeing anybody act like Bill O'Reilly.
