St. Patrick's Day

I'm celebrating... haha... by lifting a middle finger in SUP's direction.

SUP has been censoring the most popular interests page. In particular, they've been censoring interests such as homosexuality, bisexuality, sex, faeries, fanfiction, bondage and yaoi. Not to mention depression and pain. Reek of homophobia much?

Add the censored interests to your interests list and consider joining this comm.

Personally I'm considering whether livejournal is really worth this bullshit anymore.

No love, SUP. No love.

and we continue with our discouraging coverage tonight...

Read this. I think I'm about to be done now. I don't want to leave because hey, convenient, but then I know that's what they're depending on. That we'll all bitch and complain and then sit on our blogs and keep bringing them in the revenue.

Or maybe they're not. It seeming more and more like they're trying to get rid of my queer, bisexual, bondage-loving, fanfiction-writing ass. Fuck you, SUP. This is personal now.

In "funny yet depressing" we have this quote from The Indypendent's article SXSW vs IVAW: The New York Times “Floods the Zone” (here) constrasting the NYT's coverage of the South by Southwest music festival with its coverage of the Winter Soldier Report, a conference that took place in Wash DC this weekend in which US veterans of the Afghanistan and Iraq occupations testified about their experiences...

Description of the special New York Times South By Southwest Blog (SXSW): “We’ll be writing about music, scenes and the strange things that happen when thousands of music fans wander a few blocks of Texas for long days and nights. Check in a few times a day–this is going to be fun.”

Description of the special New York Times Winter Soldier Blog: Oh, wait, there isn’t one.

Number of articles devoted to SXSW over five days: 35

Number of articles covering this weekend’s “Winter Solider” hearings held by the IVAW: 0
[....]
Best Line of SXSW Coverage: “I just missed Santogold, but seeing Spank Rock and 2 Live Crew on the same bill was like watching an apple fall not far from the tree.”

Best Line of “Winter Solider” Coverage: Er …

NYT, I kinda love you for talking about Spank Rock. But seriously. Your priorities, where are they?
