Movie poster (a real one this time) I drew for a documentary coming out and going on tour this summer. Check it out at http://maximumtolerateddose.org/ it’s going to be amazing and you should totally support this, even if support just means passing the link along. Thank you!
There’s not much happening yet, but the next two months are going to be crazy for my new band, Mere Phantoms. We have a Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. It would be cool if you were into hardcore/blast beats/environmentalism/social justice/etc and “liked” and/or “followed” our social networking pages. Hopefully we will have recordings for your auditory enjoyment by the end of June. We’re recording a 4 track demo soon. It will be released on cassettes and/or CDs and will come with a zine containing information on our band, some essays on various topics, and maybe some nudes and other surprise content. ;)
On May 24, the Ohio’s State Assembly passed Senate Bill 315—one of the worst fracking laws in the nation—by a 21-8 vote in the Senate and a 73-19 vote in the Ohio House that approves new regulations governing hydraulic fracturing in the Utica and Marcellus shale formations running under nearly half of the state. The shale gas provisions are part of a larger energy bill that also addresses Ohio’s renewable energy portfolio standard.
The bill heading to Gov. Kasich’s desk fails to reinvest in Ohio communities, adequately protect Ohioans from the toxic impacts of the fracking industry and address the growing climate crisis.
SB 315 will allow health and safety loopholes. It requires the gas industry to pay less than almost any other state in the country, exposing our communities to the worst excesses of the fracking industry. Doctors will be prevented from talking openly about the sickness they see in their patients, and the gas industry will keep profits flowing out of our communities.

Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025 http://csat.au.af.mil/2025/volume3/vol3ch15.pdf Does it make you feel safe to think about TPTB, or the USA military controlling the weather? ha Do you feel certain that the control will be used for good instead of evil? haha (via stopkillingourworld) |
In Kansas, your local neighborhood drug store pharmacist can now refuse to fill your doctor-issued contraception prescription, or any drug he or she thinks might be used to terminate a pregnancy, or be used in conjunction with pregnancy termination, all on the grounds of “religious liberty” and “conscience protection.” Not only that, but anyone who ”reasonably believes” a drug prescription they are filling or “reasonably believes” an action they are taking — say, administering a drug — might result in the termination of a pregnancy is allowed to refuse under Republican Governor Sam Brownback‘s new law.
The so-called “Health Care Rights of Conscience Act,” which curiously exists in several states under the same name (perhaps an ALEC creation?), applies to pharmacists and even nurses and doctors — anyone who is related to the process of pregnancy termination. The drugs could include both abortion-inducing medications, and even emergency contraception like the so-called “morning-after pill,” but also could include drugs used for life-saving reasons — the pharmacist would only have to trust their gut, not the doctor’s orders.

In Kansas, Your Pharmacist Can Now Refuse To Fill Your Contraception Prescription (via pantslessprogressive) Wow…..Really?? |
My friend JD and I prepared a bunch of food for our camping trip next week. We made 40 black bean burgers (we are sharing some with other people). We ate two and gave one to my dad. So pretty much, I’m gonna be eating a lot of legumes next week. We made three different batches:
“Creatures from the Black Legume”- Mashed black beans, olive oil, breadcrumbs, sauteed bell peppers, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, spicy brown mustard, and ketchup.
“Not So Mellow Yellow”- Mashed black beans, olive oil, breadcrumbs, sauteed yellow bell pepper, corn, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and chipotle powder.
“xGreenVMachinex”- Mashed black beans, olive oil, quick oats, broccoli and kale that were finely chopped with a food processor, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder.
We also made two pans of oatmeal bars containing molasses, brown sugar, cinnamon, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, and dried cranberries. They turned out pretty moist and runny. So we need to do something different next time. But oh well. We were just wingin it. They still taste pretty good!
