(no subject)

I was going to make a happy post about Repo: the Genetic Opera. But then I found out that bastard Open-Office had eaten all the formatting that I spent yesterday afternoon fixing so that I could lay out some pretty complex analysis for this coursework. So instead of a happy post you can have the sound of me restraining myself from throwing my laptop across the room.

...There goes my day of productive work, as I attempt to work out a) why it ate the formatting and b) how to stop it doing it again...

ETA: It's holding its formatting! Expect a squeeful goth-post next time I take a study break ^_^

unethical corporations? in MY late-capitalist society?!

Oh dear.. after being told about Amazon's crapness on Intellectual Property issues and considering buying from them anyway, it was only a matter of time before they'd come and hit me where I live.

Gay books = porn?

Queer is a dirty word?

That's right; Amazon have had a queer whitewash. If you're a questioning teen, you'll no longer find Young Adult books with queer themes on a basic search, because they've all been classified as "adult" by merit of their "gay and lesbian" tag. The word 'queer' will be stripped from any search you make.

This is fscking dystopian.

(Then again, I may have finally found something interesting to write about for my essay on "Information Organisation"...)
