I've stumbled into your journal numerous times via threepunchstuff and violachic but always been too awed by the awesomeness to presume to add you as a friend. No more. May I join the party?

In response to the Harper budget of this week, the Canadian Union of Public Employees has made a pretty cute video in which a booming voice explains the inherent goodness of corporate tax cuts to a bewildered cartoon boy. I wonder if you might take a moment to watch it and -- if you think your readers would enjoy it -- post it to your blog or any message boards your frequent?

CUPE is hoping to do more of this sort of entertaining and engaging political information-spreading. At least some of us are! The more people who watch videos like this one, the stronger the case we can make for things like this. So please circulate it in your networks as much as possible, and encourage your contacts to do the same.
(If you're feeling extra generous with your time, could you please drop me a line about where/when you posted the video, so I can keep an eye on the comments?)
Thanks very much!

I think the thing that tipped me over on wanting to friend you was the Trotsky icons. They're horrifyingly delicious.
That and you used the words "banninated" and "batshittery" in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
free_palestine regarding that "anti_jihadist" genius. Total and utter win for you.

Hey, I really appreciated this:
"....you have to look at the development of female geeks, who not only have the same not-conventionally attractive, socially confused, and isolated early conditioning as male geeks, but the added stigma of not having their intelligence recognized, encouraged, or appreciated. And being told that their only worth is their sexuality, and clearly they FAIL at that.
You end up with a lot of touch-starved women. You end up with women who think, "I'm sick of being only appreciated in virtual spheres for my intelligence, but still not treated as being as intelligent as men, and I'm sick of being told I'm worthless because I'm not drop-dead gorgeous. If I can't be loved, I want to at least be desired.""
So I quoted it on my livejournal and friended you.

hi there, i just stumbled upon your journal and was immediately charmed.
hope it's okay if i added you!

Hi! sfslim asked me to add you as a friend and pull you into this discussion about "intelligent independent creative queer professionals." Hope you'll join!
sfslim asked me to add you as a friend and pull you into this discussion about "intelligent independent creative queer professionals." Hope you'll join!Hi! Adding you to my f-list. We've been meeting at neeuqdrazil's S&B (including today). I was the one today who had the computer and the drawing pad.
Hello, I found your journal through a mutual interest in 'tilting at windmills', which says it all really. I'd like to read more of your posts. I have no existence in real life and my threat level is minimal.
Hello,
I was randomly browsing journals and came across rantipole6's hummer graphic. I left an honest question, followed by a slightly smug question, but was met with much hostility. I attempted to explain myself, but each post, no matter how polite, was denied and deleted. Gotta love censorship. I'm finding myself with a broken leg and too much time on my hands, so fuck it:
Preface: I do think Hummers are usually wasteful, as are many human luxaries. However, I am often perplexed at the blanket hostility towards Hummer H3 owners, so I thought I'd dig a little. I am extremely liberal, progressive, and work in the environmental field and I actually worry deeply about the environment. I vote Green when possible, and anything but Republican the other times. I find hypocrisy and selective idealogy - in the name of self affirmation - to be amusing. I can't stand the idea that it is said on that journal that I'm a Republican.

The topic:
I merely wanted to ask rantipole6 if he also scoffs at people who drive a Jetta and takes leisurely flights on airplanes. A genuine question, as the carbon footprint would be around the same in many scenarios (but cetainly not all). He apparently did not like the answer.
Obviously the point isn't to save the environment. The point for many of these people is the TREND of saving the environment.
I happen to know people who are professional academics. They take plane trips to Portland, OR, Puerto Rico, and even INDIA (from Baton Rouge). They drive a Honda Civic Hybrid and make fun of some guy that lives down the street that drives a Hummer to work and does not travel much at all. He's obviously an asshole for killing the environment, they say.. then they pack up, go on a jet plane, and get a hotel in some far away city just to be able to show how worldly they are. That's great and all, but why the hypocrisy, is all I'm asking?

I would like to send you a book. I'm sure you need more books. Everyone loves books. How can I send you this book?
I saw your breakdown of Red Dawn a while back (from the deadbrowalking friends list) and found it interesting and funny. I will add you, if you don't mind. I will understand if my boring as hell, incomprehensible journal is not added back. /meek
I just...
*sigh*
There's so much I want to say to you,
and yet tragically, I cannot.
I can say, when I stumbled upon your journal, and then towards your icons, which I think is what I originally showed up for, I felt like I was...
I just am elated and I love everything I see. If you knew me, you'd understand why. Just, do me the honor of adding me.

Jamie Miller, my spouse, said you were a good person to add because we have some classes in common. I teach desktop publishing and yearbook classes. Hi. :)
i enjoy things that are interesting. besides, every few years, i too 'journal' on the 'eenternet'.
Hello, I'm Katie. marnanel keeps telling me that we'll get on and that I should add you but I kept putting it off because I didn't know what to say, and zie said zie'd introduce us, but... hasn't. So I'm biting the bullet and adding you anyway. I hope that's okay.

I remember you from when I used to read Free_palestine a couple of years back, and we have some friends in common..

You don't see too many people breaking into prison.
hello! I am a friend of Frandroid, we have a friendship based in zines, as I do a zine he has distroed. My lj is nothing special, just personal venty and mispelled communication, but I was mourning how silent LJ is getting and how many people have left, and wondering if I should add some new friends (at the same time there is the feeling always, to wean myself off LJ as well) (whatever) and in response to suggestions about new friends to add - Frandroid recommended you as hilarious, with lively readership and "radical as well or I wouldn't suggest her of course" or something like that.
so I'm going to friend you, OK? :) thanx
