Linkspam! I have things to say about Wincon, but I'm procrastinating on that one. Three pleasant things, two more serious.

Some absolutely stunning art by petite_madame Do you think I'm pretty, Dean...?, drawn as a fill for sharp_teeth. I love pretty much everything about the piece, but the colouring, smudges of blood, and especially the way Dean is gripping the

FOREVER'S GONNA START TONIGHT~

Haha, my bb and I happened to find that and we pretty much died because it was so amazing.

I GLADLY TAKE THE BLAME.

Marketability of diseases a;dklfjas I want to do a project on that.

Also: I can see you from my bedroom window. Go to bed. :P

Your geeky fangirling continues to make me smile.

Also: I love you to pieces, creeper, I hope you know that. (Of course you do, you just saw me read the comment notification and laugh and laugh and laugh.)

I'm not watching you! \o\ But I did go take a peek out my window and I see that you are still there. I should shine a flashlight and try to communicate to you in Morse Code.

I only know "s" and "o" :(((((((

DUDE, I WANT AN XKCD WEDDING CAKE! *___* Except, mine would have top hat guy :D

Oh see, I just about to cave in and get Twitter. And now I'm back to avoiding it XD

Honestly, they're marginally better than Facebook, who claim ownership to anything you upload, and just as skeevy as GMail, which keeps everything you ever send or receive on their servers until *they* decide it has to go, even if you delete it. (I also find the way they customize your ads super creepy and a little bit invasive.)

The way we define privacy has always been unrealistic (the sheer amount of publicly available information, even in the days before the internet!) but the last few decades are revolutionizing it without our even noticing. In the UK, where surveillance culture has taken a much stronger hold, the average adult is in about seven thousand databases. It wouldn't be as many here in North America, but almost certainly well into to the hundreds, if not more, and most of them you're unaware of. Most of them are pretty innocuous - a lot of it is commerce-based - but it's still a loss of control of your information. Hell, your government has a stated goal to profile every American. They've reframed that discussion so

Don't mind me; I'll just be sitting here making heart-eyes at you.

SORRY

I decided that that was more information than I wanted to be publicly viewable on the web.

But this stuff still fascinates me a lot <3

That pinkwashing article is fantastic. Thanks for sharing. :)

[cantarina1]

I really like it too. It makes me think and actually had me pondering the use of yesterday - the "wear purple" day a lot. Glad you got something out of it!

[petite_madame]

Thank a lot for the rec'.
Glad you enjoyed my art ♥
