We've got a mess to clean up, people!

Thanks for sharing, Aaron.

Excellent Blogs

These two blogs are my new favorites:

Letters from Johns

Letters from Working Girls

It's been a while since I've posted about the sex industry. One of the main reasons I moved to California was to become more involved in sex workers' rights movements that are kicking ass here in the Bay Area.

I've been making contacts that will hopefully prove valuable. I'm just so broke now that I've had to put the social justice issues on the backburner while I try to find work to pay the bills (without working the red light).

Wake Up, America!

The video below made me cry not only because it's a powerful speech, but also because it made me really worried about the future.

What if McCain wins? I'll probably need to renounce citizenship and move far far away. Seriously.

What if Obama wins? Will things change? It's all such a game and I'm sick of it.

Democracy at Home and in the Motherland

Do you live in Rhode Island?
Are you a registered voter?
Find your polling place and go vote before 9pm!

Then come to Lupo's and watch results come in.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

The media blackout within Armenia has Diasporans nervous and unsettled (to say the least). From my friends who live there, I'm getting mixed messages about what has been going on, and why.

How many dead? 8? 40? 100?

"Yerevan residents have resorted to telephoning one another or coming out onto the streets to swap information. Taxi drivers, in particular, have become a good source of 'alternative news.'"
-iwpr.net

"CNN segments about Armenia were clipped from television programming, and many Web sites were closed. Only journalists from foreign news organizations could attend Mr. Ter-Petrossian’s briefing."
-NYTimes

Why do I have to ask my friends via e-mail what is happening there - where is the coverage?!



I am so much to say about this... But I have to go vote!
