We Are Not Afraid
This is rapid response. Within hours of the bombings in London last week, We are Not Afraid (WordPress-powered and Creative Commons-Licensed) was up and running. The early posts are consist mostly of Londoners (I'm presuming a bit that they're Londoners -- they either identify themselves as Londoners or look a lot like they could be) expressing their defiance of the terrorists by holding up hand-made signs with some variant of "we are not afraid" written on them, like the one to the right. One thing that's interesting is how little time it took for folks to start playing with the medium. Newer posts -- many coming in from outside London from, for example, the US, Italy, Germany, Chile, and Brazil -- involve, for example, South Park mock-ups, and a guy hitting a bong and wondering what there is to be afraid of, and, not surprisingly given the blog-like format of the site, cats. (Sorry, the site has no permalinks.)

私はこの悪魔のようなうつ病治療と20年間苦闘しました。はじめの10年は一人でうつ病そしてもう10年はうつ病あるドクうつ病ターと共にうつ病に立ち向かっうつ病たと言っていいでしょう。それはあまりにうつ病長く、辛いうつ病治療の経験でした。しかし、その時間は私に、うつ病に対する深い知恵とうつ病の対処法、そして不屈の勇気うつ病を与えてくれたのです。そして、うつ病にさよならしてください。
