by name and nature: #StopACTA →
xntrek: Hi there, Australia, without us knowing it, signed an international treaty that will destroy an open internet around the world. Now, the European Parliament is our last hope to stop it.

Somewhere among your infinite potential number sits the alternate me who, despite his allegiance to my actual timeline, made a different choice when it came to picking adventure over despair. You poor bastard. Which,...

“I don’t hate humanity. I think humanity is amazing. But it’s like...”
– Me, on why stories like the tale of Syliva Likens or Marina Abramovic’s Rhythm 0, 1974 don’t rob me of my faith in humanity.

Sign the petition against 'Gay Panic' law in QLD →
stfuconservatives: torturedtangledhearts: From Paul Kelly - A loophole in Queensland law allows people accused of murder to defend themselves in court by claiming “gay panic” — that is, if someone who they think is gay “comes onto” them, the sheer panic they feel is partial justification for murder. This law belongs in the dark ages —affirmed by the High Court in the notorious Green case in...

In which we point out the landmarks of Insomnia
I’m drinking scotch and Drambuie in a lovely crystal glass at 3:46 am. I’ve been up since about 9am yesterday and I don’t think I’m getting back to sleep.

In which our narrator recaps the last year with...
One does not simply walk into Mordor.
