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 blog will touch on the Penn State child rape, again, as Jerry Sandusky is getting ready to get into court. Again, I'm sarcastic, and angry; again, I'm pissed off. Not so much profanity, though. These three numbers and URLs I'm including, again. I think it's important to keep these not just for ourselves, but for people we know who might need them. Someone always knows if abuse is going on, and it's up to us, to be that someone who helps.  If you've been hurt, are being abused, or know someone who is being abused, please, call SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests) or 1.877.SNAPHEALS , or RAINN(Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network)   or 1.800.656.HOPE; The Trevor Project is also a beautiful resource for LGBTQI teens, 1.866.488.7386 Finally, here is a list of state, toll-free numbers (some have web pages, too) where you can call and report suspected child abuse. I got it from the national child protective service...

Trigger Warning: This blog will touch on the Penn State child rape crisis, and rant and rave about the ineffectual actions of a dead man, and the entire board. It will also be dripping, drowning in sarcasm and profanity. If you've been hurt, are being abused, or know someone who is being abused, please, call SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests) or 1.877.SNAPHEALS , or RAINN(Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network)   or 1.800.656.HOPE; The Trevor Project is also a beautiful resource for LGBTQI teens, 1.866.488.7386 There are people out there who care; we care so much! And we want to help. So please, don't feel alone. We are out there. Today, I'm going to speak ill of the dead. I'm going to rant and rave against the evil behaviour of a dead man. I'm not afraid of his ghost coming after me. Fuck him, and his ghost. Joe Paterno died today. He was 85 years old. The CNN article about it, says, “[his] tenure as the most successful ...
