Why I Prefer My Readers

January 13, 2013 By Mark Draughn Leave a Comment

Today I happened to read a tweet from @furrygirl: It may seem like a childish metric, but as a general rule, you know how effective your activism is by how fiercely the state comes after you.

In 2011, out of curiosity, she sent off FOIA requests to several government agencies for her record, and got a bit of a shock: I'd actually pretty much forgotten about … [Read more...] about Why I Prefer My Readers

2012 in Review

December 31, 2012 By Mark Draughn Leave a Comment

Here at Windypundit, 2012 was the year in which:The inevitable drug war deaths remained inevitable. I spoke up for sex workers, although, really, it was just a bunch of links.

Moving to WordPress – Part 2: New Website

November 16, 2012 By Mark Draughn Leave a Comment

If you've been following along, you know I've given up on Movable Type as a blogging platform, and I'm moving this blog to Wordpress. In Part 1 I explained why moving 10 years of blog posts with minimal link breakage was a lot of work. Of course, I'll have to have some place to move to. Which means I'll have to design and set up another Wordpress blog. I managed to teach … [Read more...] about Moving to WordPress – Part 2: New Website
