on the tough guy style I’m not too keen to try to change the world I will plot and scheme
We at For the Birds were devastated to hear about the loss of Adam Yauch this week after a several year battle with cancer. MCA was a cultural and political force– he was not only a brilliant artist, but was inspirational to many of us during our formative years as budding activists.

Critical Studies of Popular Culture & Society: Roundup of links this week
It’s not often that I get to read what’s on the mind of one of the busiest and smartest activists I know. Please check out my friend Sarah’s Cultural Sociology blog — this roundup is super well-written.
There have been so many media related stories this week I decided to just do one big post.
The Underground New York Library tumblr proves some of us still read books. Even though all of these pictures have been taken on the public subway system, it still feels a little intrusive? If you read…
“Do what I did the night John Lennon was shot. Listen to his music, get drunk and cry with your friends.”
