i'm pissed.
i'm not going to cover my anger through words like "let's breathe" or "karma" or whatever. right now i am ANGRY. i am an ANGRY non-PMSy Woman for several reasons.- A huuuuuuuuuuge slice of a woman's right to choose pie was handed to us (prochoicers) yesterday. What a blow man. And to hear what Kennedy had to write hurt. No joke. When an old, white man decides my fate in life, it really, really bothers me. Really, Kennedy, it's cool if women die for the sake of a pregnancy? Are we in the 1800s again? I am so angry. The silver lining: Ginsberg did something pretty rare and amazing- she gave an oral dissent from the bench. Go Ruthie! And I am praying to God that this mobilizes the pro-choice movement, the women's movement, the militia. Addendum: You know what fucking makes me sick? That NO abortion related article is in the "most emailed articles" box on the NYT. Fucking Delhi snacks move up off the street is getting more "street" cred. WTF?!!?!
- After y-e-a-r-s, our president acknowledges that Darfur is the next holocaust. He talked about sanctions and peace keeping troops at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC. What we, as the public, have yet to recognize is that it doesn't matter if the United States pulls out our economic resources from Sudan. You wanna know why? Because countries with more capital expenditure are pouring their money into the Sudanese economy. These countries include: China, India, Saudi Arabia. After I barfed from listening to the report, I came to the conclusion that this world sucks. India? Seriously?! A country known for it's God-like figure, Gandhi, is supporting this shit? Fine, they are keeping a blind eye to it?! What the fuck? There is no damn silver lining to this anger.
- He killed so many people. And for what? Let's see. At this point we have no "official" reason(s), but I am willing to speculate. He was found stalking two women in 2005. A clear sign of abusive behavior. He desperately sought out attention. Loved attention, evidenced clearly from his mailings. Which would make sense because he probably stalked women he wanted attention from. So, let's see if any of my rambling is making sense: wants attention from female- doesn't give it to her- finds a way to keep tabs on her (stalking and threatening emails)- police and mental health community get involved- don't take it too seriously, 'cause come on now, it's JUST stalking and love- needs more attention- has mental health issues- starts video taping himself and writing psycho thoughts- buys gun (because easier to buy guns than buy anti-depression medicine in this country)- decides how to shoot people to get the most carnage- kills two people- goes to the post office to mail off his psycho photos, videos, and letter- kills more people- kills himself. Now, WE are left to piece this all together. All I can say is gender based violence comes in different shapes and colours and we need to take it SERIOUSLY. the silver lining: mobilizing the Asian American community to admit and address mental health issues in our respective communities.
