The #MOLE Training bubble will burst. Probably sooner rather than later;

The digital commons will continue. Including Flickr, which was saved from deletion by the corporate zombies at Verizon who got it with Yahoo, and there's now a not-for-profit Flickr Foundation protecting its collection into the future;

This is the only thing that gives me pause. But as I say, these photos are all about 20-30 years old and they're crowd shots.

Huh, that's cool. Funny you should mention them. I've also been thinking about donating the prints and CDs to them.

True that : ) Hit me up in a Direct post or by email/ XMPP/ matrix and tell me more! I'd love to know more about when and why the Hocken is displaying them, which protest(s), and so on.

@strypey Well I was wrong - it was in Scattered Seeds by Dunedin Public Library & Dunedin Lebanese Community

Hardly seems dox-y to mention that they have some nice exhibits on Dunedin protests ...
