Maybe I'm giggling

Read this from XKCD and you'll never be afraid of robots again
If you're worried about artificial intelligence killing us all á la Terminator, fear not, brains are still the best. There isn't really a "thinking" vs "feeling" brain, there's only the brain and it's complex networks of neurons. But I guess nerding out on neurology isn't everyone's thing, and I'll admit that the metaphor is nice.

As someone who often struggles with her brain, I'm happy to report that this week was ok in the brain department. I found a lot to be inspired by and the feeling was quite welcome.

This week, I had a co-op day with my We Are Open Co-op peeps, and we launched a call to action for funding Badge Wiki and other community projects.

Maybe I'm discerning

I do get tired of having to be strong and uncomfortable. It's uncomfortable to be confronted with information that makes you question your beliefs. Despite reading this article, I'm not convinced that the EFF is a "hypocritcal astroturfing nonprofit". I think activism is more complex than people realize and that there is no such thing as a moral authority.

People do like to have their opinions though. If you are adamantly against medically assisted suicide, for example, give this thread a read. Or just read it because it's kind.

On the lighter side of darkness, the International Committee of the Red Cross was pretty engaging when they used Game of Throne war crimes to call attention to human rights.

In design news, I like the design (and the purpose) of this NGO, so I went and looked up the designer. I also stumbled upon the Japanese comic "Saint Young Men" in which Jesus and Buddha are low-rent roommates in Tokyo. I love the idea, but after watching some YouTube clips wasn't jazzed about the execution. The comic is probably better.

Maybe I need help?

I bought two suit coats for 6€ a piece at a second hand shop, so I'm doing pretty well. I hit a helluva flow with Maybe Zombies this week, and I might actually finish it by the arbitrary deadline I set for myself of June 30th. I would highly recommend getting it now because I'm going to raise the price when it's done. Patrons will get a coupon, so maybe you want to
