Domestic Violence Awareness Month: A Wrap-Up Post for DVAM 2009

Written by mojo11 on
Related Posts   This post is probably going to piss a few people off at first. And a few of them may stay pissed off. Which is too bad, but I'll cope. So here goes.   Domestic violence is not a "women's issue". And trying to label it as one does a disservice to all of the victims. No, I'll amend that. It ill serves everyone .   I'll stand back now and let you throw what you will. Feel better now? Okay. I'll explain.   I wouldn't ever, ever attempt to minimize the impact that the epidemic of domestic violence has on women. ... Read Full Story

Domestic Violence Awareness Month: "Speaking Without Tongues", Durham, NC 10.20.2009

Written by mojo11 on
Related Posts Shortly after I read artist Michelle Major's post on Violence UnSilenced for Monday, I saw an article in the local weekly free paper about a group I'd never heard of called Hidden Voices . One thing, as it so often does, leading to another I found myself heading west to Durham on Tuesday evening to the artists reception for an exhibit called "Speaking Without Tongues". While Hidden Voices supports all marginalized communities and not only survivors of domestic violence, this event was dedicated to DV survivors who chose to tell their stories through their art. Some are painters, some photographers, some are ... Read Full Story

Domestic Violence Awareness Month: Alpha Chi Omega and the Jessie Bliss McGrew Freedom Fund

Written by mojo11 on
One of the things I love most about SiteMeter is that it tells me how people arrive in my humble corner of Blogaritaville. And this morning I noticed that somebody had gotten here searching for YouTube Videos about domestic violence. In following their search string, I ran across this video. The story told here is painfully similar to those told every week on Violence UnSilenced . But in this case, by watching and listening to the story, you can actually directly benefit survivors of domestic violence. For every person who views the video $1 will be donated to the Jessie Bliss McGrew Freedom Fund ... Read Full Story

Happy Birthday Again, Dammit!

Written by mojo11 on
Okay try to stay with me here. A little over a year ago I followed a blogger I read regularly to a guest post she did at a blog I don't read regularly. And in the comments on that guest post I noticed a blogger I'd never heard of. But I really dug her avatar photo, so at the end of my comment I asked the poster, "PS: You think you can introduce me to that Maggie, Dammit girl up top there? She's hawt !" The rest of that conversation was the usual bloggy slap-and-tickle with much jocularity ensuing, but in the process I ... Read Full Story

Violence UnSilenced - Maggie Dammit Talks about Domestic Violence and How We Can Help

Written by ghystone on
Today is the last day of October and of Domestic Violence Awareness month . Obviously in what I would believe to be a better world such an observance would be completely unnecessary. Since that is not so, I wanted to take the opportunity to share the work of Maggie Dammit of Okay, Fine, Dammit , and Violence Unsilenced , a site with the goal of "shedding light on the epidemic of domestic violence and sexual assault by giving its survivors a voice."  Maggie is one of my writing inspirations who used the still-amazing-to-me ability to immediately self-publish and her formidable voice in the blogosphere ...
