summerfest for the fourth

What did I do for the Fourth of July, 2008? Independence Day for a nation and an empire on the brink? Of a full control-state, with a legal protections apparatus in shambles. Of depression (psychological and economic) and widespread financial ruin (corporate and personal). Of defeat in war, and...

PETA Using Violence Against Women to Send Message

I am completely horrified by PETA’s latest campaign. Recently PETA grabbed a couple of interns put them in bathing suits, slathered blood all over them and placed them in what appears to be giant shrink wrapped containers like the kind you find your meat in at the grocery store. I don’t know...

I did however leave a comment disagreeing with PZ on Lessig's defense of the Fair Use (of Lennon's "Imagine") claim made by the makers of "Expelled." PZ's post "Yoko Loses:" I had mixed feelings about Yoko Ono's...

mrcc / continental drift itinerary

Some of you know that I've been helping to coordinate an itinerary for this foray by a few art-activists into the 'regional,' an effort some of us are calling the Midwest Radical Culture Corridor. There are many dimensions to the MRCC, and it is an idea or set of ideas more than anything else. But...

In Which Emily Gracefully Steps On to Her Soapbox

I got a comment from Michelley-Shell recently which, in part, reads: "You are very passionate about this topic and I'm left wondering if you've taken some time to consider what could have done instead? What would you plan if you were given a budget and a time-line and asked to raise awareness of...

Unseen TV: Jay Smooths Ill Doctrine (Hiphop, WebOnly)

Jay Smooth's videos are found at the Official Site and on YouTube. Regarding his recent video I can think of nothing else to say but WORD! On second thought, I'll add that the Dance Hall genre and Jamaica have a lot of baggage also.

Make Me a Witness

Take me out; out of darkness, out of doubt. Five by five by eternity. It should seem normal that the human populace needs such reassurance. I watched a couple of "What Not to Wear" episodes today. The one, a recent college graduate, was so cute, but as always with that show, there were self-image...
