The word is usually considered a pejorative term that describes “feel-good” measures, in support of an issue or social cause, that have little or no practical effect other than to make the person doing it feel satisfaction.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slacktivism">Slacktivism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</a></em>http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19404670258http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19404670258Fri, 16 Mar 2012 13:16:39 -0500“Oh man, I hate that I’m starting to sound like The Grinch Who Stole Awareness in threads like these, especially as I work in communications, but - cool remixes not withstanding - I can’t help but feel that “awareness” has become a latter-day conscience balm. We use it as a salve to excuse the comfortable, inescapable hypocrisy of (modern?) life. I feel like stuff like this represents a horrible nadir of consumerism and identity politics - where individual choices and individual actions matter most of all, a kind of hyper-real where believing or feeling something is as real as doing something. The arrogant, simplistic and crushingly naive preamble to the website only confirms this for me. (Slavery is real. This site is a for inspiring all minds to take a moment to consider that as long as we live in a world where slavery is permitted, no one is free. This site is meant to serve as a beacon to all those who want to help end slavery in our world today. This is a place to engage and use your voice right now to change history. ) Posting on Facebook how much you hate slavery is not action. Some dude in Mali neither knows nor gives a fuck that you wrote a song about how bad slavery is. Neither does the pimp in Houston.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.metafilter.com/113898/Remix-my-music-please">Remix my music, please. | MetaFilter</a></em>http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19404617923http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19404617923Fri, 16 Mar 2012 13:15:16 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0w07qkTSl1qz8rylo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19297633331http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19297633331Wed, 14 Mar 2012 13:19:02 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0vzehwO7a1qz8rylo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19296963678http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19296963678Wed, 14 Mar 2012 13:01:29 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0ux3gn07B1qz8rylo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19276596474http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19276596474Tue, 13 Mar 2012 23:14:04 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0sehb7pbb1qz8rylo1_400.gif"/><br/><br/>http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19190674777http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19190674777Mon, 12 Mar 2012 14:36:46 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0sed2ywpq1qz8rylo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19190544690http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19190544690Mon, 12 Mar 2012 14:34:13 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0s69gANwr1qz8rylo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19183319541http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19183319541Mon, 12 Mar 2012 11:39:15 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0s68twZJX1qz8rylo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19183307825http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19183307825Mon, 12 Mar 2012 11:38:52 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0qjlccW3J1qz8rylo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19133649620http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19133649620Sun, 11 Mar 2012 14:32:00 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0qjjonZBo1qz8rylo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19133588150http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19133588150Sun, 11 Mar 2012 14:31:00 -0500<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/CbIZU8cQWXc?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Neil deGrasse Tyson - We Stopped Dreaming (Episode 1) (by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=CbIZU8cQWXc#!">Scrunchthethird</a>)</p>http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19070493502http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19070493502Sat, 10 Mar 2012 13:11:18 -0600<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0mrs0eQiL1qz8rylo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19009936307http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19009936307Fri, 09 Mar 2012 12:38:24 -0600<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/13703448" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/>http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19009649583http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19009649583Fri, 09 Mar 2012 12:30:42 -0600“I know what you’re thinking, so don’t even say it. Buying that thing won’t make you happy, is what you’re thinking. Buying things never makes you happy, so why would you buy this thing? It won’t make you happy. But you haven’t seen this thing. It’s really cool. They just started making it and not many people have one yet. It does all sorts of stuff and can fit in my pocket, but it can also get bigger than that if I want it to. Plus it’s made by a company I trust to put out things that will make me happy.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/buying-this-thing-will-make-me-happy">McSweeney’s Internet Tendency: Buying This Thing Will Make Me Happy.</a></em>http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19009213648http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19009213648Fri, 09 Mar 2012 12:18:57 -0600<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0mqjherZz1qz8rylo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Half-Life (by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/baooffice/6947200505/in/photostream/lightbox/">Bao Office</a>)</p>http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19008944969http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/19008944969Fri, 09 Mar 2012 12:11:41 -0600<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0l1seqNJj1qz8rylo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/18959574282http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/18959574282Thu, 08 Mar 2012 14:19:25 -0600<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0l1qaBgEY1qz8rylo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/18959515505http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/18959515505Thu, 08 Mar 2012 14:18:10 -0600<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0l1oed2sr1qz8rylo1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/18959462688http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/18959462688Thu, 08 Mar 2012 14:17:02 -0600<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0l1lauO001qz8rylo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/18959404574http://bdhayes.tumblr.com/post/18959404574Thu, 08 Mar 2012 14:15:10 -0600
