The FCC sided with Comcast and decided to let ISPs censor the internet. The Internet needs to stop this from happening: http://cms.fightforthefuture.org/tellfcc/

So, Uni is going quite well so far. I'm a bit unsure of some things and there are other small problems but all in all, nothing has come crashing down yet. Summer job, on the other hand, is proving once again to be problematic. As in, I can't get one. Which makes living a bit difficult since I really don't want to take a loan. None of this is made ( Read more... )

So, America markets itself as the land of liberty and freedom.

Excuse me while I laugh.

On Wednesday Kansas apparently passed a bill that allows any organisation to deny service from same-sex couples based on religous beliefs. Since I don't know that much about the technicalities of USA legislation, I'm not exactly sure if this is a law yet, ( Read more... )

Apparently livejournal is cracking down on "gay content" (because of Russian policies on the matter). People have been blocked from accessing the site, posting, etc. They're using IPs for identification so that - as far as I understand - nothing can be done from an IP adress that is being "investigated".

The first three weeks of Uni are behind me and so far, so good. The workload is slowly starting to show, although most of it has fortunately been just reading and maybe answering a few short questions.

So, I caved in and got myself a tumblr account. Finally.

Now I just have to figure out how to use that - ridiculously confusing - site. This is not done any easier by my email's refusal to work properly at the moment. I hope I'm not missing any truly important messages...

On the other hand, if I do get this on the right track, I'll have lots and ( Read more... )

I try not to take sides (at least, not politically) in the whole "Western World vs. Arab countries" that's going on, because I do kind of understand most of the points both sides have. But then sometimes I stumble upon some piece of news that just has me going like what? They can't be for real, can they?Like the Norwegian woman who was working for ( Read more... )

Everybody - everybody who reads DGM-fics, anyway - DJEWELLZ UPDATED STARLIGHT!

Okay, she updated it over a month ago (but I only noticed now) and most of you aren't probably interested at all, but this just made my day. Seriously. Made. My. Day.

I'm so happy right now.
