Support ‘Critical Moment’

Via e-mail:

CRITICAL MOMENT is facing a financial crisis and asks you for your support!

Dear supporter of independent media,

Critical Moment needs your help. We need to raise $1000 in the next two weeks or we may not be able to print our 20th issue, due out the first week of January 2007. We have excellent articles on the fallout of Prop 2, radical Women of Color blogging, the Detroit Worker’s Center and much more.

Critical Moment recently had some advertisers pull out, and their online shop — which had been fulfilled by infoSHOPdirect — is collateral damage in the closure of Clamor Magazine.

If you haven’t been reading Critical Moment, check out the 19 back issues. It’s an excellent free community resource, and I encourage you to read it and make a donation to keep it active.

The world is full of plankton [3]

Apartment extremely hoseled: wet, but in all the wrong places (ceiling carpet padding). I think that as a consequence we are moving soon. Also: del.icio.us is back up, after a terrible four-day outage. Also: I finished my first term at SI, with mixed results. Next term I will ignore SI curriculum in favor of other cool activities. Also: title “the world is full of plankton” reflecting current musical hobby-horse. Also: this weblog has recently been visited by people in or around the following cities in Michigan: Jackson, Hillsdale, Pittsford, Ann Arbor, Detroit.
