The Wikipedia blackout is over — and you have spoken.
More than 162 million people saw our message asking if you could imagine a world without free knowledge. You said no. You shut down Congress’s switchboards. You melted their servers. From all around the world your messages dominated social media and the news. Millions of people have spoken in defense of a free and open Internet.
For us, this is not about money. It’s about knowledge. As a community of authors, editors, photographers, and programmers, we invite everyone to share and build upon our work.
Our mission is to empower and engage people to document the sum of all human knowledge, and to make it available to all humanity, in perpetuity. We care passionately about the rights of authors, because we are authors.
SOPA and PIPA are not dead: they are waiting in the shadows. What happened in those 24 hours, though, is extraordinary. The internet has enabled creativity, knowledge, and innovation to shine, and as Wikipedia went dark, you’ve directed your energy to protecting it.
We’re turning the lights back on. Help us keep them shining brightly.
"「自分にはかけがえのない個性がある」と思ってる人は、全員同じ顔してます。区別がつきません。
俳句って字数制限キツイし季語とか切れとか定型とかルールがキツイんだからただでさえ個性なんて出ない、まして先人の句を意識してたらなおさら……と考えている人も多いようですが、それは話が逆で、俳句の定型や切れや季語って、全員に制服を着せたらかわいい子とそうじゃない子が残酷なくらいはっきりわかっちゃう、というような意味であなたの言語センスが測られるのです。
