interactivism

Activism for humanitarian or political causes taking part interactively on the internet. When physical involvement is not a possibility, interactivism usually is. The internet is a fantastic tool for communication, and as with all forms of communication before it, it can be used to influence other people through the sharing of ideas and opinions.

Linus Blanket

Another word for a pacifier, comforter or security blanket, but it can be used as a metaphor. Originating from the comic strip Peanuts, the character Linus is always holding his blanket for protection. His dependence has lead to this being a pop-culture reference to all such objects in relation to those who need them.

The term became a lot more popular after the term was used by Simon Pegg in an early episode of the hit TV sitcom Spaced.
