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. ;]

Photo Documentation: 90 Days

I figured it was about time to do another pained and unflattering photo documentation. This cursed camera my parents gave me for Christmas. So yesterday, March 10th, marked 90 Days on Testosterone Cypionate . I also did a voice check, which I'll upload and post tomorrow. 90 Days on Testosterone Cypionate, 100mg every 2 weeks ( Click on images for larger, even less flattering versions - I'd prefer if you didn't, but the option does exist. ) Stomach (hair growth + fat redistribution): Getting some hardcore belly action where my body fat is most definitely redistributing. Ho ho ho. In addition, it's getting a tad bit hairier, which is demonstrated more clearly in the belly action shot below. Ooooh yeah, there we go. Look at therm li'l hairs! Still not enough to satisfy my cute Russian female friend, but getting there. One day. Eventually. Putt putt putt. Leg (hair growth + muscle development) A bit hairier. No difference in muscle tone that I'...

Hysterectomy Scheduled Early August!

As I mentioned in my most recent post, I'm not able to update this as often as I really want to. I absolutely love blogging, but by the time I'm done with my graduate school tasks for the day, I become a collapsed puddle of human, incapable of uttering a single word. But I had to log on this once to share some incredibly exciting news. Earlier yesterday I learned that my insurance (through the marketplace) has preauthorized me FOR A HYSTERECTOMY IN EARLY AUGUST.  For over six years now I've been struggling through years of no insurance coverage as a student and then one trans-exclusive, discriminatory policy after another. Even as a federal employee. Yet finally, at long last, this is actually happening. It doesn't feel real yet, but I'm beyond ecstatic. I'm actually scheduled for surgery!  Whaaaa??? There are a gazillion risks reduced and benefits from having this done, one of which will be lowering my dose of testosterone post surgery, which is ...
