If you live in Venezuela and rely on Adobe products to do your job –
whether that’s publishing a newspaper, running an NGO, or doing design
work, Adobe has a very special message for you: GO FUCK YOURSELF.
Today, citing US sanctions, Adobe terminated every software license in
the country of Venezuela. And because Adobe has “pivoted to the cloud,”
switching its software to “software as a service,” that means that all
the software that some of the most desperate, hard-hit people in the
world paid good money for are out in the cold.
They’re not issuing refunds, either.
It’s just part of Adobe’s repudiation of capitalism and the idea of
private property – just because you paid for your Adobe products, you
don’t actually own them.
“The appeasement of Hathor by means of wine, music and dance furthermore symbolised the victory of civilisation over untamed nature. Before Hathor [Sekhmet/Tefnut] came to civilised Egypt, she was a wild, ferocious lioness. After she made contact with the symbols of civilisation, namely music, dance and wine, she became the benevolent Bastet.
This change of nature, however, did not mean that she had already abandoned her untamed character. This is why she needed constant appeasement. Hathor’s double nature reminds one of the character of the inundation, which is violent when it arrives and benevolent when it settles.”
On this day, 12 November 1984, a group of anti-nuclear weapon activists damaged a nuclear missile silo in Missouri, taking a pneumatic drill to the silo. Four, including Helen Woodson, a mother of 11, were arrested and jailed with extremely harsh sentences. Woodson (pictured upon her release) ended up serving 27 years inside. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1262012817317199/?type=3
