When I am making the kind of living from my writing that Neil Gaiman does from his (which is to say, any kind at all), perhaps I shall tell you then that people need to lighten up about copyright. Until then, I kind of think all this “culture must be free!!!1!!!111!!!” stuff ain’t particularly convincing.
House Kills SOPA | Examiner →

infoneer-pulse:
In a surprise move today, Representative Eric Cantor(R-VA) announced that he will stop all action on SOPA, effectively killing the bill. This move was most likely due to several things. One of those things is that SOPA and PIPA met huge online protest against the bills. Another reason would be that the White House threatened to veto the bill if it had...

To Begin
Today I had that feeling of wondering when life really begins mixed with a wholesome disgust at my present condition. I read some Meister Eckhart in the hopes I’d feel better, but really all I want was to be wrapped in the Divine arms of love and told everything will be alright.

This times a million, plus the fact that everyone talking about “first world problems” is bragging about them.

“All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.”

I love you even though we are not in love, which is only to say our loves are not related to each other, intertwined...
Darning Love
Linger the laughing echoes of children–gone is your love–and I’ll take a piece of cake with the camel on needled thread.
“And the world will not discourage you from operating on your default settings,...”
