NOTE: Due to time and space constraints we were unable to include an article on the intricacies of the Assange rape case. A short summary of some thoughts is available here. Basically, just because he's Assange doesn't mean he isn't capable of sexual assault. In situations like this, it is important to take the allegations seriously and not silence alleged survivors simply because the truth is inconvenient for supporters of Assange and Wikileaks.

We at HackThisZine try our best to reliably bring you great content, at a resonable quency, while we have tried to make this a quarterly zine in the past, clearly we are way off base with this issue. A lot of work has gone into the creation of this zine, and it took us way passed the due date. This compilation of works may be made by nerds, but we are people too! We do have lives... some of us :). If you would like to ensure that other issues of the zine are more up-to-date and on track, join the mailing lists, start talking, and we’ll be glad to share the excitement with you.
