RIP! A Remix Manifesto

I just watched this documentary last night and absolutely have to share it. It's so good.


It might even be an illegal documentary. One that was really brave of the director, Brett Gaylor, to create. The focal point is on an artist I love called Girl Talk, who has been sued up the wazoo for copyright infringement.

As Maclean’s Magazine puts it, RIP! is a "frontal assault on how corporate culture is using copyright law to muzzle freedom of expression.”



Watch it. Trust me.

Best part? YOU can
download it here and pay whatever you want!




Stamp of approval. It really is worth the watch. Make other people watch it, too. Lure them in with treats and beverages.

  1. You rock for spreading the word about this! And is that clip you posted from Coachella? I saw Girl talk there for the first time there in 07 and he's brilliant. And it IS total bs, that he's been sued so much

  2. That clip of Girl Talk in the beginning is at Coachella, I believe. And yes, he is brilliant! I saw him for the first time at a little bar here called Urban Lounge. I had never heard of him before, then KAZAM! next thing I know I'm irresistibly compelled to dance n' dance n' dance until my shirt was just soaked in sweat galore. It was grand. ;]

PART 1: Double Incision Mastectomy with Nipple Grafts by Dr. Cori Agarwal Surgery Photos (EXTREMELY GRAPHIC)

Earlier today I learned that Dr. Cori Agarwal’s medical secretary would come in to take photographs during my 3 hour surgery on August 11, 2011. As a warning, these photos are extremely graphic , but also incredibly informative and educational. This is why I’m displaying them after the “read more” button below instead of as a photo gallery.

Exciting News from Utah!

Exciting things are happening in Salt Lake City, Utah! Last night there was a panel specifically about employment discrimination based on gender identity and a proposed diversity bill. It received a fair amount of media coverage, like this article in the Salt Lake Tribune: After losing her job, transgender Utahn fights workplace discrimination Salt Lake City resident Candice Metzler wanted to let her work colleagues see the transition she already had begun in her personal life. Known to them as a man, Metzler wore mascara, eyeliner and white-tipped acrylic nails to a company barbecue.

The above coverage even ended with: "if you're an employer open to hiring transgender individuals" there's a link on their site to DiversityJobs.com ! Just 6 months ago the bills und...
