  1. “Clapping Is a #FirstAmendment #Right :” An Interview With the Person Arrested for #Clapping at a #DataCenter Meeting

    Last Wednesday, Lux Claridge planned to speak out against a proposed 1,000 acre data center in their town of #Emporia , #Kansas. They left in handcuffs after a city commissioner ordered them arrested for clapping.

    “It was annoying,” Claridge told 404 Media. “So what happened was I clapped for the previous speaker. She hadn't even gotten back to her seat before I stopped clapping. My wife was on the way up to the podium. The time for my wife's speech hadn't even been reset yet [...] you see the 51 seconds remaining from the previous speaker. So I don't know what I was disrupting exactly, but I was not clapping the entire time.”

  6. Gizmodo: Someone Was Arrested at a Public Meeting For the Crime of Anti-Data Center Clapping. “Let’s get this out of the way: the teacher in question, 37-year-old Lux Claridge, was warned. The whole room was warned before this happened—warned not to clap, which is an expression of approval….

  16. A quotation from J. M. Barrie

    PETER: Her light is growing faint, and if it goes out, that means she is dead! Her voice is so low I can scarcely tell what she is saying. She says — she says she thinks she could get well again if children believed in fairies!
       (He rises and throws out his arms he knows not to whom, perhaps to the boys and girls of whom he is not one.)
       Do you believe in fairies? Say quick that you believe! If you believe, clap your hands!
       (Many clap, some don’t, a few hiss. Then perhaps there is a rush of Nanas to the nurseries to see what on earth is happening. But TINK is saved.)
       Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you! And now to rescue Wendy!
       (TINK is already as merry and impudent as a grig, with not a thought for those who have saved her.

    J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) Scottish novelist and dramatist [James Matthew Barrie]
    Peter Pan, Act 4 (1904, pub. 1928)
