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 ...

Who's the Birthday Ghoul? (I had to... just had to.)

Written by mojo11 on
Saturday, October 31, 2009 Posted by Mojo at "Boo!" (Click to embiggen) I just stopped by Winter's place a few minutes ago and she's got the birthday blahs. This is so un-Winter-like I just don't know how to describe it. But the last post she put up was on Monday, so perhaps she's come out of the funk by now. If not, maybe a parade of well-wishers will do it. Just mind that you keep an eye open for vampires, werewolves, and things that go bump in the night. 'Cause they seem to hang out there. Probably trying to land a role in her ... Read Full Story

Because if I had to rely on my memory... Anyway, so here's the thing. An amazing blogegr and an awesome human being is finishing another lap around the sun today. The lady who puts the power in the flowers, who puts the "grr" in "girl", who puts the "Ju" in "Kenju". Who... Uh. Actually, she is Kenju . And I clearly need more coffee. So while I'm doing that, won't you go wish ... 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

Fayetville, NC: Murder is Murder

Written by naomizf on
A well-respected real estate developer in Fayetteville, North Carolina shot and killed his wife and two teenage children on Monday before completing the act of suicide . As frequent Quarterbackers know, family annihilation murders, as this type of incident is called, are rare but news-grabbing. They follow a particular pattern in which the perpetrator is almost always male, and they may be the culmination of escalating domestic violence, or not. I first read about this incident on CNN.com , before it was confirmed as a murder/suicide. The article quoted a news release from the Chief of Police which read, in part, At this time, ...
