Who’s that dude on the far right? I’ve watched all The West Wing episodes at least twenty times and I swear he’s not in any of them.

"You should care about surveillance because once the system for surveillance is built into the..."

“You should care about surveillance because once the system for surveillance is built into the networks and the phones, bad guys (or dirty cops) can use it to attack you. In Greece, someone used the police back door on the national phone company’s switches to listen in on the prime minister during the 2005 Olympic bid. Chinese hackers used Google’s lawful interception back door to hack Gmail and figure out who dissidents talked to. Our communications systems are more secure if they’re designed to keep everyone out – and adding a single back door to them blows their security models up. You can’t be a little bit pregnant, and the computers in your pocket and on your desk and in your walls can’t be a little bit insecure. Once they’re designed for surveillance, anyone who can bribe or impersonate a cop can access them.”

Suddenly, the hunter became the hunted.

cambridge university students were asked on campus why they needed feminism. here are 60 answers. click the link for over about 600 more.

This is amazing

‘I need feminism because our basic human rights shouldn’t be dictated by dicks’ is my all time favourite reason for feminism

YA Books About Transgender Characters

There haven’t been a lot of young adult books published about transgender characters. This list is not meant to be a “best of” list — it is simply a list of the titles that we are aware of, and we are sure there are more we aren’t aware of. This list is limited to titles published specifically for a young adult audience, which means titles published for adults that teens might still enjoy aren’t included.

I am J by Cris Beam (Little, Brown)

One in Every Crowd by Ivan E. Coyote (Arsenal Pulp)

Beautiful Music for Ugly Children by Kirstin Cronn-Mills (Flux)

Happy Families by Tanita S. Davis (Knopf)

f2m: the boy within by Hazel Edwards and Ryan Kennedy (Ford Street Publishing, Australia)

Being Emily by Rachel Gold (Bella Books)

Jumpstart the World by Catherine Ryan Hyde (Knopf)

Almost Perfect by Brian Katcher (Delacorte)

Luna by Julie Anne Peters (Little, Brown)

Parrotfish by Ellen Wittlinger (Simon & Schuster)

Do you have a favorite YA book about a transgender character? Please tell us why you loved it!

I want to give special shout-outs to Luna and Parrotfish, two of my favorite YA novels.

I’d also add that Every Day by David Levithan is, in a way, a really good book about a non-binary character. Part of what makes A and Rhiannon’s love story so unique and compelling is that it exists outside of binary constructions of gender and sex identity.

It’s very simple. Scissors cuts paper. Paper covers rock. Rock crushes lizard. Lizard poisons Spock. Spock smashes scissors. Scissors decapitates lizard. Lizard eats paper. Paper disproves Spock. Spock vaporizes rock. And as it always has, rock crushes scissors.

it’s pretty sure to say that whenever I’m happy, my pictures get dark. and twisty. and really really dark. a little bit like this. but I’m so in love with my camera and it’s sharpness and the amazing things it does. I just want to spend all day photographing.
