Trigger warning: This one's about Steubenville. If you haven't heard about it by now, you're living under a rock, and need to Google it. You also need to be better informed, how else can you join in the fight against rape culture? Anyway, this will probably be triggering to rape survivors. Skip it with my love, if you have to. I understand, really I do. Don't forget, the Hotline is there to help, as is RAINN . Get help! We support you, and I love you, even if I don't know your name. If you can handle it, sob your way through this with me, OK? But Football! That's been the refrain since that poor girl, was raped in Steubenville, Ohio. I hear this town is a piece-of-shit town, now that industry moved to Mexico, or China, or the Philippines, or wherever it went (hell, it might have gone to Michigan, or Tennessee, for all I know). This left only football to rally the town, to pull them together. I guess their football team is their church, and although that...

Trigger Warning: Today I'm referencing the Penn State rape cases, and the report Director Freeh put out today, from his investigation. As always, when I talk about abuse, or abusers, I include contact information. Here they are. If you, or someone you know is being abused or is thinking of ending their life, please get help.  SNAP: 1.877.SNAPHEALS (1.877.762.7432) RAINN's online hotline or call 1.800.656.HOPE (4673) The Trevor Project: 1.866.488.7386 The Hotline (DV): 1.800.799.SAFE (7233) National Suicide Prevention Hotline: 1.800.273.8255   This will be my final blog about the Sandusky-Penn State sex abuse catastrophe. I might blurb when the various sentences comes down. I hadn't intended to write about it again, after Sandusky was convicted. But this morning I was looking at CNN and found a vid that disturbed me greatly. You can see it, and two others here . [Yeah, I know, CNN's vids aren't laid out the best but it's worth the hassle ...

Trigger Warning: This post deals with domestic violence from both intimate partners and parents. This can be triggering for persons who have been trhough this. As always, if you're being hurt, please seek help! There are some numbers at the bottom of the blog, and you can always call the Hotline at 1.800.799.SAFE.   I technically have a log-in for YouTube, just like everyone else with a Google log-in. I never post anything, and never surf it. If I'm over at YouTube, it's because I'm looking for something specific, or a friend sent me a song or game vid link. I've even gone digging when I heard about “newspaper print nails” [that'd be using newspaper like silly putty to print in your fingernails, it looks pretty cool] but I had never gone looking for make-up tips on YouTube. This is why I had missed the make-up videos posted by the very talented Ms. Lauren Luke. [her channel is here , if you're interested. She's a very good make-up artist, and f...
