Pics telling the stories

Doc Searls has spent the last few days with his mother in the hospital. While he was back in North Carolina he also went through and found old photographs from his parents place and scanned them into his laptop. You can see the galleries he’s starting to put together that chronicle his mother’s life here. This really reminds me how much taking photos now and chronicling the places we go and the things we do can have impact well beyond the enjoyment we get out of them ourselves. Years from now, these same pictures will tell their own stories to anyone who sees them, and our websites will do the same for the next generation.

    So, while it may cost me some followers, let me just say this. If you believe QAnon conspiracy theories about elite pedophile gangs and sex trafficking rings with zero proof aside from some seeming coincidences with a bunch of half-true facts, and go spreading them around, you are undermining the very serious issue we have in society with actual, real pedophiles, elite and otherwise, and real, true to life, sex trafficking.

  • Rape culture?

    Lauren has some interesting ideas about what its going to take to stop rape and sexual violence. I’m not saying I agree with everything she says here, (I would argue for a more individual responsibility approach, but I also understand that not stigmatizing rapists and abusers does enable them to continue.) but it’s all worth…
