There aren’t any doors anymore. Pitch your tent, stake your claim.
(via tanya77)
There are tent-pitching spaces everywhere. Just look under the highways.
(Living in tents is actually what we’re all sort of anxious about. Worrying about “the future of media” seems like a concern for the idle rich. Fair enough if you’ve already earned a comfortable future… but for perspective’s sake, a lot of the rest of us, including a large portion of amateur media enthusiasts, are working full-time in sell-out-type jobs — paralegals, accountants, yes even paper salesmen — and are happy to have even the hobbyist’s privilege of contributing on a small scale. Yet we’re worried about all doors in the economy closing. And when you’re shut out of the economy, “pitching a tent” is no longer a metaphor. What use is media if there’s no society left to consume it?)
