Particularly fond of this line: "If, as Sontag writes, ‘[c]amp is a woman walking around in a dress made of three million feathers’ then camp is also Ken wearing three watches and two pairs of sunglasses, or over-naming his house."

Organisations like ALCS exist to make sure that authors are paid when people print, copy, or access their work.

You can bet Meta hasn't paid any authors for use of their work.
