About Me
[edit]I've been an unofficial internet journalist for a long time in that I've journaled my life. While I was thinking about what to write about me, I figured I should look up sources about me instead of making up a bunch of stuff. While looking for the handful of articles about myself I was reminded of a protest I was a part of, Project Chanology.[1][2] This also made it clear why I'm bothered so much by what brought me here!
A couple more things about me:
- I'm an "internet video genius"[3]
- I'm was a part of the Ford Fiest Movement marketing campaign.[4]
- I was "20 local Tweeple you should start following now" (in Milwaukee... in 2009... lol)[5]
What Brought Me Here
[edit]I was recently interested in the events surrounding the #BlackLivesMatter movement. Something didn't seem right about the story the "founders" of the movement were giving. It didn't seem likely that:
"So she composed a love note to black people on Facebook, urging them to come together to ensure "that black lives matter."
Her friend, Patrisse Cullors, a community organizer from Los Angeles, spotted the Facebook post and put a hashtag in front of those three words. #BlackLivesMatter was born."[6]
Upon researching it, the story proved to be false. I've long wanted to join the ranks of people that make edits to Wikipedia to clean up articles on martial arts (more specifically taichi). Funny that this is what motivated me to finally create the user name.
I will not make any changes to anything until I do the work to get a reliable source to research and publish the information I present them.
