Belated Links for Tuesday, February 23, 2010
- the_shoshanna: signal boost: Dreamwidth again (still) under attack - if you wondered whether Dreamwidth really could be trusted to mean all those hifalutin' pronouncements in their guiding principles, if you doubted whether their commitment to diversity was worth the electrons it was printed on, if you harbored concerns that the ghost of LiveJournal Abuse was haunting the halls of Dreamwidth, if you wanted to know whether they would really put their money where their mouth was -- you have your answer. -
- cesperanza: Party like it's 1993, Y'all. - Whatever did we do without the internet and livejournal and metafandom? The same fucking thing as it turns out. -
- melannen: So, a long, long time ago, before I had - Someone who has probably spent his entire adult life in an academic world, where everybody has institutional support that lets them access things like ridiculously expensive subscription journals, is coming in to *my* world, where everybody works for nothing and publishes for the joy of sharing freely, and dragging our work back behind the wall with him, where we can't touch it anymore. -
