I stand with Standing Rock, and there are a number of ways you can too. From the ACLU:
“In below freezing weather last night, law enforcement deployed tear gas, water cannons, percussion grenades, and rubber bullets against hundreds protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline.
News reports confirm over 160 people have been injured.
This sovereign nation of the Standing Rock Sioux – one of many constantly threatened by environmental injustice – is fighting to keep its water safe and clean by means of an historic protest.
But law enforcement agencies are treating them like wartime enemies. Riot police raiding a protest camp even yanked indigenous people from prayer in sweat lodges.
North Dakota has received $3 million worth of military equipment from the federal government through the Defense Department’s 1033 program. On top of that, more than a half dozen states have sent equipment and officers to North Dakota.
Tell the DOJ to investigate possible constitutional violations and suspend police use of federally supplied military equipment.”
You can sign the ACLU’s petition to the Department of Justice (just a few thousand more signatures are needed) HERE.
You can sign the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s letter to President Obama to permanently stop the pipeline HERE.
You can donate directly to The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s DAPL fund HERE.
And you can buy these awesome official fundraiser t-shirts HERE.
Spread the word!

Great plan Ross. Truly you are the Napoleon of assholes.
FYI - Do NOT mess with Becky’s friends.This is a highly-accurate trailer for the most recent (and outstanding) arc from Dumbing of Age.
If you want to read this fabulous storyline, this is a good place to start. Be aware: this is not the start of the comic, so you may want to keep the DoA Cast page handy so you can fill in some of the blanks.
If (like me) you can’t start a new series without starting at the very beginning, here’s a link to Dumbing of Age’s first comic. You won’t be disappointed, I promise.
I started a new blog called “Webcomic Appreciation”, which is about, well, web-posted art and comic appreciation. This is probably the only blog I’ll be posting to for the next few years (while I’m firmly caught in the jaws of higher education), just as an FYI.
Otherwise, I’ll be back in a few years! <3′s & XOXO!

Listen
There are a few posts going around tumblr that have hundreds of thousands of notes and talk about torrents that you can go to for textbooks.
My advice?
Don’t.
Those are illegal.
I hate to be the stick in the mud here, but yeah, those are illegal.
And seeing as how a lot of you will be logged onto your college server and they can see any website that you go on, I wouldn’t recommend it. You might have your internet privileges revoked. Or face disciplinary actions. Is it worth it?
Besides, a ton of those websites are filled with viruses.
So, you may have saved a few hundred dollars on a textbook but now you need to buy a new computer and are facing consequences from the school.
I know that textbooks are outrageously expensive. And I hate it. But it’s not worth the trouble to try and illegally obtain them.
So, what would I recommend?
- Talk to your professor. They might have a few extra textbooks for you to use.
- Go to your college library. I worked in the library at my old college for a year and we had an entire shelf of textbooks that students could rent for two hours.
- Put up a bulletin board where students can sell their old books and see if someone’s selling the book that you need.
- Ask your professor if you can get the an older edition of a book. They’re usually a lot cheaper.
Here are five LEGAL websites that I would recommend:
- amazon.com - Not only do they rent books, they also sell used books. I’ve found some really great deals before.
- textbookrush.com - Again, they sell used books. I once got a $300 book for $35.
- chegg.com - I know a lot of students who use this.
- bookbyte.com - I also know a lot of students who use this.
- bigwords.com - This website compares prices for books.
ALSO your university’s interlibrary loan system! Another library may have your textbook as an ebook you can download as well (which will expire eventually of course but it’s still free!).
