even my social studies classes posited reform as good, from the Protestant reformation to the Ladies Garment Workers Union.

That's probably why education is so often vilified now. Apparently we were all brainwashed.

Also, the way I was taught, the Republican Party would be reactionary (wanting to return to an earlier time ) , the Deomcratic Party conservative ( wanting to preserve the status quo), and who knows who would be liberal (wanting reform) or (wanting to change the system entirely)

So I did have to take a third (fourth?) shower, but this got done: [link] It was a mess of weeds and ivy before. Hopefully this will remain neater and be less of a constant battle to keep things in check.

So...6 bags of branches and leaves and assorted weeds and crap, and this. And I'm only NOW eating.

Jilli, in that tumblr post where the language says "do not repost it as your own"--is that how it's being perceived? If I google and find an image I like, and I put it up on tumblr, is the perception that I am taking credit for it?

I found out about Busty Girl Comics because someone posted 10 of the images at once, ant that floated across my dash. To this day, that's the only time those pictures have appeared on my dash. I didn't think for a moment that the person posting them was claiming them as her own, but she did make me want to find out where they came from, and I did some researching and asking around, and voila!

She has one more reader than before. I have no idea why the original reposter did what she did, but I didn't feel like she was stealing intellectual property.

This is the bad way of things happening?

Noooo. The bad is on the original reposter. Plus, I've seen other people on Tumblr save things from other people's posts and reposting them - there's one girl in the goth Tumblr circles who is infamous for not reblogging anything. She just right-clicks and saves, then uploads and posts so she gets all the likes/notes. I know I roll my eyes when I see the Goth at the Office photos or artwork from the GCS book posted with no mention or link of where they're from.

Really good form is, if you find an image you like via google or other magic, you post it with a link to the source. But it's a fuzzy boundary.

In Switzerland? That'll work in Jamaica?

If the person in Switzerland can get a Visa gift card, it should work anywhere that takes Visa. Of course I have no idea what goes on in other countries, but those are the variables, at least.

I went to the beach! Yay.

I have right-clicked and saved several photos from Tumblr and reposted--a collection of similar items, for example, gathering things in one post to compare. But I try to credit the original poster, when I can backtrack to find them, rather than the last reblogger.

And sometimes that's me. Those aren't *my* pictures I'm putting up there, after all. And I post more than reblog.

I don't split other people's posts (no, twice, I wanted a segment of a GIFset out of context because it was funny), but when I find an image on any other random website I just post it. But to read Busty Girl's telling of it, I'm pretending it's mine, and I'm not sure where that stands on the "theft" scale either.

Yeah...I'm ordering bras and cables for my sister today because she can't use her Visa online at those particular outlets. So that we know for sure isn't that simple.

So, looking at this dress, I see that it has this back. Why do you do that? I coulda worn a normal bra!

Pretty front, odd back.
