Heh. Its hilarious she posts this. Its also unfortunate that for some shitty reason I’m reading her shit. Either way: really? I did everything to make it happen bitch. EVERYTHING. You left me, again and again and again. If you miss me one bit its your own damn fault. I don’t miss you for taking advantage of me the way you have, taking advantage of my feelings, etc.
I’m over your dumb shit. You fucked it up one too many times.

What the Actual Fuck?
“I ordered some video-editing software from Hitfilm in the UK which also comes with some instructional videos. So a few days later I get a call from FedEx saying that the DVDs were being held at U.S. Customs until I filled out a Video Declaration Form, which she said was now standard practice. Now, I’d never heard of this before, so I called back to ensure that this was indeed FedEx and not someone phishing for information. Had them email me the form.
This is what the form said: “I/we declare the the films/videos contain no obscene or immoral matter, nor any matter advocating or urging treason or insurrection against the United States, nor any threat to take the life of or inflict bodily harm upon any person in the United States.”
Now, the first clause I can kinda see, though “immoral” is weird and there’s no standard definition of obscenity in the US, but let that go…what made my eyebrows go up my forehead and down the other side was clause two. So I called back the nice lady at FedEx — who was only following instructions given to her by Customs — and asked what this was all about.
Apparently — and this is only her understanding of the situation — this is a new thing being done by Customs and Homeland Security with FedEx, UPS, and other carriers to make sure that films and videos with ideas or stories that were at odds with the United States Government didn’t get into the country, as it was a form of terrorism (as further elaborated upon in the third and final clause.) She added that some DVDs showing Occupy events in London and elsewhere had gotten bounced because of the concern that these were being used to coordinate activities here (as if with the internet people actually need physical DVDs for that sort of thing but that’s neither here nor there).
Under this new stipulation, if V for Vendetta had, for instance, been produced in the UK (instead of just filmed there), importing it into the US would be considered subject matter “advocating or urging treason or insurrection.” And if you lied about it on the form, you could be held liable for this.
So there are now very literally guardians at the gate ensuring that the wrong sorts of ideas, movies or DVDs are not allowed into the country without investigation and/or prosecution. And most pernicious of all, they don’t actually define what they mean by advocating treason or insurrection, any more than they define what “immoral” means, it’s whatever they decide it means, so you could be breaking the law without knowing you’re doing it, until they decide you’re doing it.
Thoughts?”
Thoughts: this country’s laws and things the government stands for gets more disgusting every day. Those are my thoughts.
Also, this only has a few notes and it’s someone’s personal story, so, probably good to signal boost it because it won’t be going around everywhere…
Signal boost. Submitting it to news sites in 3..2..1..

Reblog if you want your followers to tell you which character you’d be from the Sherlock series.

Even though, you know, I’m pretty certain. I just like to hear other people say it.
YES. Because my roommate says I’m Sherlock but I’ve had a few tumblr people say I’m John. And I’m sure somebody will say Lestrade or something.
I have this nagging feeling that a lot of people would say I’m like Jim.
I’m curious, honestly. Sherlock is one of my most favorite things now, so…
- Friend: I *do* love sausage
- Me: ō.ô
- Jon Stewart: You don't think two affairs hurt someone who thinks of themselves as a champion of traditional marriage?
- John Oliver: What could be more traditional than the arrangement that Gingrich proposed? Throughout history Jon, traditional marriage has meant powerful men doing whatever the fuck they want, whenever the fuck they want.
