I've moved

I'm on tumblr now, on account of it being so much better than blogger. Here's the link.

Klaus Nomi's performance of the “Cold Song” shortly before his death

What Power art thou,
Who from below,
Hast made me rise,
Unwillingly and slow,
From beds of everlasting snow!

See’st thou not how stiff,
And wondrous old,
Far unfit to bear the bitter cold.

I can scarcely move,
Or draw my breath,
I can scarcely move,
Or draw my breath.

Let me, let me,
Let me, let me,
Freeze again…
Let me, let me,
Freeze again to death!

[More Klaus Nomi on YouTube]

Thanks go to Disinformation, without which I would never have heard of this amazing and unique performer.

Sign the petition urging the United Nations to intervene in Libya

Dear Sir,

You are undoubtedly closely following what is happening in Libya-- the crimes against your brethren at the hands of mercenaries. This criminal regime lost its legitimacy at the fall of the first martyr in the city of Benghazi. We, the sons and daughters of Libya, appeal to you to proclaim your condemnation of the massacres committed against your people, and proclaim the revolution legitimate. This revolution ends the 41-year rule of the tyrant Muammar Gaddafi, who will join Zain El Abidine and Hosni Mubarak, probably before this letter reaches you. Do not make the blood of the unarmed innocent martyrs lost in vain. Your sons and daughters are waiting.

Sign the petition here!

Fuck, what an intense day we're having

Over in Libya the military and mercs are slaughtering their own people for the simple crime of wanting a little freedom, and now I hear news that there's been another earthquake in Christchurch with multiple deaths.

Fuck.
