Omnivoracious: Uncharted Waters: Joe Hill Explores Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane

neil-gaiman:

Editors Note: As you’ll see from the first line of his introduction through to his last fantastic question, horror author Joe Hill has tremendous respect for Neil Gaiman’s work. In this exclusive discussion of Gaiman’s The Ocean at the End…

WARNING: This wonderful piece/interview by Joe Hill does contains spoilers — or at least information on things that happen in the book. But it also ends with a pancake recipe, which makes it the weirdest interview I’ve ever done. If you make the pancakes let me know how you get on…

Today, on the Tel Aviv Pride Parade, our queer-anarchist activist group, Mashpritzot, protested against pinkwashing and the “gay” community’s priorities. The group painted themselves pink in protest against pinkwashing - the cynical use of the Israeli “gay” community in order to paint Israel as a “liberal”, “progressive” country, and divert attention from the occupation and apartheid against the Palestinians.

They also carried signs protesting the “gay” community’s priorities, reading: “While you fight for gay marriage, LGBTQs are sleeping on the street”, “While you fight for the right to have children, LGBTQ youth are facing parental violence”, “One quarter of bisexuals suffer from poor health”, and more.

In the middle of the Pride Parade, they spread a huge rainbow flag and fell on it, feigning death. The sign seen in the picture reads: “Here lie the victims of the community’s priorities”.

fuckyeahfeminists: Costco CEO Craig Jelinek supports raising the minimum wage. Costco announced record profits today, averaging $10,000 in profit per employee compared to $7,400 at Walmart. The secret to Costco’s success is paying employees well, providing benefits, and giving them an opportunity to unionize. So large corporations’ excuses that treating & paying workers well would damage profits are all a crock of shit. Love Costco.

New App Lets You Boycott Koch Brothers, Monsanto And More By Scanning Your Shopping Cart

cognitivedissonance:

A new app allows you to scan a product in the supermarket aisle and learn who exactly is behind that box of cereal. More impressively, you can join user-created campaigns to boycott groups of companies who may have lobbied against a cause you believe in.

I heard Darcy Burner pitch this last year at Netroots Nation and now it’s a thing! Marvelous!

Ooooooooh!
