we live in the best possible version of cyberpunk
this is how people born after 1995 hack. when i started hacking or “phreaking” in the late 80s i would get in the zone by snorting homemade amphetamines & listening to harsh noise cassettes while banging out code for 24+ hour periods on my atari. mostly i would write text-to-speech features into the operating system so the computer said swear words when you double-click. i remember when html was invented i got so frustrated because theres so many greater than and less than signs and you have to put them around everything. in early january of 2001 i changed Google’s header to a gif of a pissing orangutan and the resulting publicity turned the website into a household name
never have a been more devastated to scroll over a url and see its deactivated who are you ma'am
what if god was one of us…
ive been thinking about this post for over 5 years
On this day, 13 November 1938, US screen icon and Black Panther supporter Jean Seberg, who was hounded to death by the FBI, was born in Iowa . She provided large amounts of financial support to the NAACP, Native American education groups, and the Panthers, including the free breakfast for school children program. As part of the FBI’s COINTELPRO program to attack radical groups she already had her phone tapped and they decided to neutralise her, planting false stories in the press which eventually led to the death of her premature baby and her subsequent suicide.

Tens of thousands of women marched in the Polish capital Warsaw on Saturday, November 6, protesting the tragic death of a 30-year-old woman, Izabela, from pregnancy-related complications in Pszczyna. Protests were called by feminist groups, including the National Women’s Strike (Strajk Kobiet), and marches were held in all major cities in the country.
The protesters blamed the strict anti-abortion directive imposed by the Polish Constitutional Court at the behest of the incumbent conservative government led by the Law and Justice (PiS) party for Izabela’s death. Members from opposition political parties, including Lewica Razem, (Left Together) also participated in the protests.
