Google has blacked out their iconic graphic. Boingboing is “unavailable today”. Congress needs to know that censoring the web under the guise of preventing piracy is ill-advised and would cripple the legitimate flow of information on the world-wide web.

I am not a data pirate. I rarely use other people’s work on my website. I am a content creatrix, and I depend on sites like Google.com and BoingBoing.net to inform, educate and inspire my work. I depend on the ebb and flow of link-sharing, the good will of fellow bloggers to share my efforts with their readers.

In all probability, this site would not be affected by SOPA/PIPA. But far too many of the sites I depend on will be impacted.

Take a moment and head over to Google and sign their petition. take action!
