  1. It looks like it’s been altered a couple times, first to say
    WE
    NEED
    ED.
    QUEER YOUTH SPACE
    and then to cross out the ED.

  2. Speaking of space, has SLOG covered the recent article about “White Flight” from MySpace to Facebook (based on a Microsoft Research study):

    White Flight: The MySpace/Facebook Racial Divide

    In a compelling article (PDF) titled ‘White Flight in Networked Publics — How Race and Class Shaped American Teen Engagement with MySpace and Facebook,’ Microsoft researcher Danah Boyd argues that race and social class were significant factors in the 2006 teenage exodus from MySpace to Facebook. As Technology Review reports, the author uses statistical and anecdotal evidence to persuasively argue that white and Asian teens from higher socio-economic backgrounds were more likely to flock to Facebook in 2006, when the social network was still restricted to colleges and universities. Their black, latino and working-class counterparts, on the other hand, tended to stick with MySpace, which Boyd dubs the “digital ghetto.”

  3. What–you guys think that chalk art appeared there the moment you laid eyes on it? Think maybe it might have been there awhile?

    When you see pre-Raphaelite painitngs, do you wonder why are they painting like that, when we’re way past pre-Raphaelitism and even cubism? Hey, guys, get with the program?

  4. For a second there, I could’ve sworn it said, “We need queer youths in space!”

    And I agree; when are we going have gay astronauts?
