COMING OUT: LESBIAN AT 47

I read this article from a worried parent years ago. I found the question interesting enough to write about. A woman, the mother says, “My 16-year-old son told me that he is gay. What should I do about it?” Today, I’d add my own experiences of informing my family that I was a lesbian. I wasn’t as young as that mother’s son was when he said, “Guess what Mom? I’m gay. Nope, that wasn’t me. I was 47-years old before I finally admitted to me that I was gay and then I admitted it to my family. You’re probably thinking isn’t 47 a little old to discover your orientation? Shouldn’t a person know before they reach 30 who or what they like? At 47, a person has lived over half her life in the shadows and maybe with the wrong gender as well. I understand your skepticism but permit me to explain my particular situation. I’m a Baby Boomer. When I grew up, young women were just beginning to flex their muscles. They were thinking about working in non-traditional jobs and considered living non-traditional lives. Most of the women I knew when I was a kid, wore traditional clothes to […]

I AM CHARLIE?

January 8, 2015 Too bad these young men couldn’t be taken alive and interviewed I want to know why they were killed and did they actually do what the media and police says they did. Nobody seems to want to examine the racism and the prejudice against Muslims. I keep hearing the BS on from white media who are acting like they don’t understand this. These guys probably aren’t terrorists any more than MLK or Malcolm were. They are young men of color who don’t feel a part of society…duh…sounds familiar, doesn’t it? The USA manages to send its racism around the world without even trying hard, doesn’t it? Did I mention what happened in Paris and what’s happening here BLACK LIVES MATTER and the willingness the police unions to stage a Blue Flu action, could be teachable moments about white privilege and Black lives don’t matter attitudes? I’m not creative enough to design something but I sure can see the links. Can you?

The 10 Worst Civil Liberties Violations of 2014

by B.L. in Most popular, Must read, Other 0 comments
Portside Date: December 30, 2014 Author: Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern Date of Source: Monday, December 29, 2014 Slate The world may not actually be falling apart [1]—but it feels like America is. From police brutality and botched executions to voter suppression and election corruption, 2014 was a terrible year for civil liberties in the United States. Protests were quelled by military-grade weapons in scenes worthy of a banana republic, and the divide between the rich and the poor in the freedom and justice they are afforded is Dickensian in its scope. While the country has evolved on marriage equality, it often appears to be backtracking on just about every other advance we have made, from the racial and gender progress of the 1960s to the most basic principles of the criminal justice system. Below, we’ve listed the top 10 civil liberties nightmares of 2014 in no particular order. Here’s hoping this list is harder to put together next year. Read the entire article here.

Grassroots Message Against Police Violence—and All Violence—Stands Firm

Portside Date: December 29, 2014 Author: Heidi Boghosian Date of Source: Friday, December 26, 2014 Common Dreams Just minutes after unfurling a 50-foot banner on the side of the A.J. Muste Building in Manhattan (also dubbed the “Peace Pentagon” for the nonviolent social change organizations it houses) a friend called to tell me that two police officers had been shot, execution style, in Brooklyn. I was composing a Tweet about the banner but deleted it mid-phrase. The banner reads: “NYC to Ferguson: End Police Violence,” and it was sponsored by the Campaign to Bring Mumia Home.

I don’t know what to say in my first post. I’ll just wing it!

I have no idea what I’m doing here with this posting stuff. 20 days ago, I was blissfully ignorant of how to use twitter. I didn’t know what  FB meant. I didn’t know about meta data. I thought meat grinders were what I watched 97- year old my mother do to beef, pork butt and par-boiled liver to make the patties we enjoyed at the supper table. The only profile I worried about was the one I faced in the mirror every morning when I brushed my teeth, washed my face and shaped my hair. Oh my how things have changed since then. I’m not sure I like knowing what tweets, re-tweets, favorites, mentions, friends, and unfriending are. Then there’s that other definition for profiles that doesn’t include looking in the mirror. These new things I’m learning, what am I supposed to do with them? I have enough to worry about without worrying whether I’m doing all this new stuff right. I’m old of those old fashioned people who had to be dragged kicking and howling to a bank to open a checking account. Yeah that’s right it took years to convince me I need one. It was even longer before I got my first plastic. I’ve […]
