projectqueer:
In an article titled “Red Phone” (PDF here), James writes that all across America, there are procedures in place to “prevent homosexuals from preying on men at the Y(MCA),” and since “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” has been repealed, Congress must develop rules “to protect young heterosexual military members from predatory behavior” by gays.

The thesis by computer security student Omar Choudary, entitled ”The smart card detective: a handheld EMV interceptor”, described a flaw in the chip-and-pin (personal identification number) security system that allows criminals to make fraudulent transactions with a stolen bank card using any pin they...

fuckyeahfeminists:
Details of the finances of Wikileaks came as Mr Assange said he had signed books deals of $1.5 million (£970,000) for his autobiography in order to fight sexual assault charges in Sweden and keep his organisation in business.
“I don’t want to write this book, but I have to,” he told a Sunday newspaper. “I have already spent £200,000 pounds for legal costs and I ...

Collars and Dollars
Pulling hard against this collar The bruises beneath it match its hue, Anything to stretch this dollar Before Big Brother’s bill comes due. Learning new tricks to maximize Every dollar being spent. After all, we had to take the hit To help that upper one percent! Stop the presses, this is maddening, Too many failures to report! It’s no wonder, in this system That we the people come up short....

On Vegans and Sex Drive
Have heard people on Tumblr talking about vegan males having a low sex drive and in particular having difficulty maintaining an erection…now, I don’t want to downplay my ability to be exceptional, but I am rarely the exception to any rule. So I would have a hard time believing that I am in this case the exception. But after almost six years of veganism I have not found this to be the...

gumfortheeyes-deactivated201111 asked: What about plantism? The arrogant assumption that thousands of plants should die so that one may live? I've been a vegetarian for five years and vegan for less than one. But speciesism is a ridiculous notion. And, isn't accepting labels the criterion for following an ism? what makes you a hippy and someone else not? you ascribe to life decisions and views, hippyisms, that make you what...

Only a few days after its release, the unofficial WikiLeaks iPhone application has been removed from Apple’s App Store.
For $1.99, the app offered access to documents on the WikiLeaks website and the @wikileaks twitter feed.
When clicking on the app’s link, the app store returns with the message, “Your request could not be completed. The item you requested is not available in the US store.”

The Whispers
Follow the whispers… All the way down. Let them lay me here Six feet under ground! Hear them calling at night, Never seeming to cease Interrupting my mind’s Much needed search for peace. Feel them drawing me in No resisting temptation Still baring the scars Of my last sublimation. I know what they want from me, Know where they lead. I can feel their excitement As with each verse I bleed....

This is especially true on college campuses. Football players, RA’s, the popular people in your dormitory—if you report them, they will make your life hell, and campus police are a total joke, so they most likely won’t do an investigation anyway. This has happened to...

Possible Trigger Warning - Discussion of Rape Culture
I have seen people defending Julian Assange with great fervor and passion a lot lately, and saying things like “But there are no actual charges” and “A judge said he was innocent so that makes him innocent” and all manner of things like that which have all floored me, because well, after 33 years of living in this world...

I’ve spent too much time fighting about Moore and me in a certain private forum this week to join in on the ruckus here, but, for those who still doubt that Moore’s opponents are correct, who are upset that people they know and like are being accused of rape apologism or what have you, I feel like you need to realize that these campaigns do not come out of nowhere...

“Progressive” men: READ THIS.
I would rather face a demon in the daylight than the darkness.
The greatest majority of sexual assaults are committed (they don’t “happen to women,” they are committed) by men they trust. Men they’ve known for at least a year. These are not the scary men leering at us from the end of the bar—we know they’re probably assholes. It’s the ones we...
