(no subject)

I don't read the news because it makes me ill and sick for the world.

I just (Yes I know, it happened over a months ago) read about the school shooting of Lawrence King.

Ugh.

I just....ugh. Today hasn't been a good day for my faith in humanity.

Anyway, for a much much smaller cause, I will likely not be posting/replying to things tomorrow. I'm not sure how I feel about all the shit LJ's doing, and I'd rather err on the side of protesting something pointless. Because. But if something epic happens I may post.

*Pats*

Apparently, LJ said they were less likely to respond to our demands due to the strike.

I won't purposefully post, but I'm not going to not post. After all, this is doing them a favour. They're saving on bandwidth. Which means moar monies.

It's more of a statement then to make them bend. although they won't get money, because people won't be looking at/clicking on ads, which is how they make $$$. They just also won't be SPENDING money.

Eh, like I said, protest and prayer in and all that sorta thing are more a statement then actual action.

D: I don't watch/read the new because of that too. I DON'T LIKE BEING DEPRESSED. </3

I know. xD I was in my civil rights team in high school, and while we did help out people and crap, instead of feeling good, it just made me feel like crap because I had to know all those horrible things that happened.
