do you ever be playing a druid and see an elevated ledge literally anywhere and like, the ancient bird instincts in your brain will activate and you just. gotta do it. you gotta Perch.
A lot of people don’t know about the anarchist Jeremy Hammond, which is too bad because he is probably one of the greatest internet hackers alive and he’s in prison serving a 10 year sentence for releasing extremely damning data on Stratfor, a defense contractor group.
People sometimes talk about how Anonymous as the powerful hacker group doesn’t really exist anymore. That’s because Jeremy Hammond, to a large degree, was the real power behind Anonymous. But he was ratted out to the FBI by someone else in the group, and it tore apart the whole thing. But he’s still alive, and he will eventually get released, and you can send him letters and stuff. And he’s easily one of the absolute internet heroes, along with the obvious choices Chelsea Manning and Aaron Swartz.
Just googled him and not only did he do this but he and at least 24 other antifa folks held there own against real-ass fucking Nazis (not like some Milo shit where it’s mostly conservative dads and a few Nazis in the crowd).
Jeremy was arrested along with 25 others for helping Anti-Fascist groups at the National Socialist Movement’s December 10, 2005 rally in Toledo, Ohio.[4][18][19] A total of 25 people were arrested for violations relating to a court injunction that barred public gatherings (meant to protect the Neo-Nazis from protesters).[18][20]
Oh and he and 4 others blocked up to stop a famous Holocaust denier from speaking in 2010. Literally went in there and threw some goddamn tables to drive that scum out.
He is a literal hero. A goddamn hero. It pains me that I have never heard of him, much less sent a letter–but I am going to now.
As always, Jeremy loves to receive mail, and you can write to him at his new address:
Jeremy Hammond, #18729-424 FCI Milan P.O. Box 1000 Milan, MI 48160
Another exciting development with this move is that the rules for sending Jeremy books has changed! Paperback books (and zines) no longer have to come directly from a publisher or distributor – they can now come directly from private citizens. Please note this applies to paperback books only. Hardcover books must still come directly from a publisher or distributor, like Amazon or AK Press. This means that if you have old paperbacks on your shelves that you think Jeremy would like, you can mail them directly to him! Please, if you choose to send books directly to Jeremy, do not include anything other than books (no more than 3 per package) and a letter in your package. Jeremy still cannot receive any items other than paperback books, zines, letters, articles, or photos through the mail.
We need to support our comrades behind bars. We need our comrades to know that they will not be forgotten.
Can we as millennials and gen-z’s collectively agree that NObody Cares about elbows on the table like Why was that Ever A Problem for Anyone?? We can chill right?
nobody asked for this but the origin of not putting one’s elbows on the table comes from the late 18th/early 19th century when wooden ships were still used in the navy- sailors would balance their plates between their elbows while eating to keep them from sliding around. because sailors developed a reputation on-land for being uncouth and aggressive, the placing of elbows on the table became associated with such behaviour.
some cultural historians believe it also goes back further, to the middle ages, when large banquet-style meals were served on trestle tables that had no side support. if someone put their elbows on the table, they risked bringing the whole table down with them.
so basically, there is no longer any need to NOT put elbows on the table, and there hasn’t been since the advent of steamships.
I love this because now i can smartass the next person who tries to give me shit for it
Hai and also welcome! I'm Zack, and here you will find fandom, talk of chronic illness, and religious stuff (primarily Heathenry related things). And also animals and random stuff.
Feel free to drop me a message, but be aware that I may take a while to respond.
