Almost 200 people were murdered in Armenia in 3 days and y'all are still ignoring us.

This is not a war, this is a massacre Azerbaijan and Turkey are committing against the Armenian people.

Turkey's president literally admitted that he wants to finish what his ancestors started. He wants to commit another genocide, and this time he wants to kill us all.

Silence is violence

[fuck-you-hypocrites]

Update: it's been over a month. 2 thousand people were murdered so far. Please, I'm so scared, just reblog this. I'm not asking for a lot, if you can't donate that's fine, just share this.

Dear Ann Coulter of the Day: After Ann Coulter referred to President Obama as a retard in a tweet during Monday night’s presidential debate, Special Olympics athlete and global messenger John Franklin Stephens penned her this open letter:

Dear Ann Coulter,  Come on Ms. Coulter, you aren’t dumb and you aren’t shallow. So why are you continually using a word like the R-word as an insult?  I’m a 30 year old man with Down syndrome who has struggled with the public’s perception that an intellectual disability means that I am dumb and shallow. I am not either of those things, but I do process information more slowly than the rest of you. In fact it has taken me all day to figure out how to respond to your use of the R-word last night.  I thought first of asking whether you meant to describe the President as someone who was bullied as a child by people like you, but rose above it to find a way to succeed in life as many of my fellow Special Olympians have.  Then I wondered if you meant to describe him as someone who has to struggle to be thoughtful about everything he says, as everyone else races from one snarkey sound bite to the next.  Finally, I wondered if you meant to degrade him as someone who is likely to receive bad health care, live in low grade housing with very little income and still manages to see life as a wonderful gift.  Because, Ms. Coulter, that is who we are – and much, much more.  After I saw your tweet, I realized you just wanted to belittle the President by linking him to people like me. You assumed that people would understand and accept that being linked to someone like me is an insult and you assumed you could get away with it and still appear on TV.  I have to wonder if you considered other hateful words but recoiled from the backlash.  Well, Ms. Coulter, you, and society, need to learn that being compared to people like me should be considered a badge of honor.  No one overcomes more than we do and still loves life so much.  Come join us someday at Special Olympics. See if you can walk away with your heart unchanged.  A friend you haven’t made yet, John Franklin Stephens Global Messenger Special Olympics Virginia

My religion defines who I am…with regard to abortion, I accept my church’s view on abortion that life begins at conception but I refuse to impose my beliefs on others. I don’t believe we have a right to tell women to control their body, that’s between them and their doctor.

Swedish Scientists Say: Fear Can Be Erased From The Brain

"Thomas Ågren, a doctoral candidate at the Department of Psychology, Uppsala University, under the supervision of Professors Mats Fredrikson and Tomas Furmark, has shown, that it is possible to erase newly formed emotional memories from the human brain.

In the study the researchers showed subjects a neutral picture and simultaneously administered an electric shock. In this way the picture came to elicit fear in the subjects which meant a fear memory had been formed. In order to activate this fear memory, the picture was then shown without any accompanying shock. For one experimental group the reconsolidation process was disrupted with the aid of repeated presentations of the picture. For a control group, the reconsolidation process was allowed to complete before the subjects were shown the same repeated presentations of the picture.

In that the experimental group was not allowed to reconsolidate the fear memory, the fear they previously associated with the picture dissipated. In other words, by disrupting the reconsolidation process, the memory was rendered neutral and no longer incited fear. At the same time, using a MR-scanner, the researchers were able to show that the traces of that memory also disappeared from the part of the brain that normally stores fearful memories, the nuclear group of amygdala in the temporal lobe."

In other words, one small step for the destruction of fear responses, one giant leap to a future where Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a reality!

This was not an exaggeration. The government ignored the issue of HIV/AIDS for years before anything was done. Gay and Queer communities had to form their own clinics because no government agencies cared for them. Back then, being diagnosed was equivalent to a death sentence or extreme debt and poor quality of life/a significantly shortened lifespan.

Things got so desperate that people literally had “Die-Ins”— in contemporary usage this refers to masses of people simulating death in order to protest something (like the War in Iraq). In this case, however, fatally sick people would literally lie down in public places and protest with what little energy they had left until they died. There is some footage of a church Die-In in the documentary After Stonewall.  The middle image here of that person’s jacket is not an extreme political statement; it’s what people had to do because they had no other options.

Bugger This of the Day: Two SoCal men were arrested aboard a gay cruise ship docked in the Caribbean island nation of Dominica after someone on shore saw them allegedly having sex in their cabin and complained.

“Buggery” — sodomy in American English — is against the law in Dominica.

The formal charge against Dennis Jay Mayer and John Robert Hart was “indecent exposure” — a crime that carries a potential six month jail sentence. The two men pleaded guilty, though they disputed the claim that they were having sex.

“We were naked on the balcony but we were not having sex,” Mayer told the court. They nonetheless apologized. ”We are sorry for what happened, we regret the incident and humbly apologize to the people of Dominica,” said Hart.

Their attorney, Bernadette Lambert, defended the 40-somethings against the Chief Magistrate’s accusations of being “rouges and vagabonds.”

“They were struck by the beautiful mountains, clear fresh water and beauty of the island and they also had a few cocktails and so threw caution to the wind,” said Lambert. “They came here for a good time and did not mean to offend the laws of the country.”

Sentencing came swiftly: A EC$2,400 (~US$890) fine and two months in jail. Luckily, they were able to avoid spending time behind bars by paying their fine right away.

Their ship is scheduled to leave Dominica today.
