One Night Stand - "I'm not sorry."


Uploaded by on Apr 23, 2011

A tremendously powerful, moving (though extremely depressing) scene from a movie I mentioned in my LGBT In Cinema video called One Night Stand. RDJ plays Charlie, a gay man dying of AIDS, and his friend Max (Wesley Snipes) returns to New York to come and help out when it gets really bad. I wanted to put this up because I think it's a fantastic scene and combines several things: a working example of how gay people are usually portrayed in films (ie. diseased, dying, 'cursed' somehow for their societal transgression), but a particularly *strong* performance/portrayal of a character in spite of that unfortunate storytelling choice by writer/director Mike Figgis *and* it also is a wonderfully strong atheist message. Be afraid, sure, but don't lose your courage. And, as well, this movie and Charlie as a character get an honorary mention on a list video I'll be doing soon about movies that do it right when it comes to lgbt characters. That'll be coming soon (maybe this weekend, if I'm feeling not-lazy).

Nathalie Miebach: Art made of storms


http://nathaliemiebach.com/ Here's her website.

This is transformational. It's like something Ursula K. LeGuin might have conceptualized. I think this is groundbreaking and I would love to see it applied to other, physical sciences.

The God of the bible loves and honors women, right? So why does a huge percentage of Yahweh's Good Book treat women like sub-humans?

And what about other religions like Islam, where some regions don't even permit women to drive a car?

actual woman vs lolicon

Hey! Ladies! DUH!
My sentiments exactly.
· · · 13 minutes ago ·

  • Kelsey Burton likes this.
    • Rogi Equality Riverstone I don't give a rat's patooty what men think is attractive; that's torn the spirit of women for countless generations. I cane about women not hating ourselves, accepting ourselves and loving ourselves. I care about women living healthy, whatever their bodies look like. It's not a "hey, ladies, DUH!" thing. Most of us aren't stupid, you know. But I also know I modify my appearance to ward off PHYSICAL ATTACKS AND HARASSMENT from insecure, frightened men who don't seem to understand that adult women have body hair, that older women have facial hair, that body fat is normal, that physical disabilities are NOT an excuse to hurt me and that the images in magazines are so air brushed and photo shopped, they don't even look like the real women who were photographed. Men wanted prepubescent, hairless, scrawny, flat chested lolicons so badly, and madison avenue pushed the trend. The more women hate ourselves, the more of their garbage we'll buy, trying to feel better. they create, and feed, addiction. now, ask yourselves: why is the ideal of womanhood these days to look like a prepubescent lolicon? what does that say about men?

Brother Dominique Happy Song Sad End


Uploaded by on Feb 20, 2011

This is a tragic comedy

Dominique, nique nique
over the land he plods along
and sings a little song
Never asking for reward
He just talks about the Lord
He just talks about the Lord

At a time when Johnny Lackland
over England was the King, Dominique
was in the backland,
fighting sin like anything
Chorus




Now a heretic, one day
Among the thorns forced him to crawl
Dominiqu' with just one prayer,
Made hi hear the good Lord's call
(To Chorus)

Without horse or fancy wagon,
He crossed Europe up and down
Poverty was his companion,
As he walked from town to town
Chorus

To bring back the straying liars
and the lost sheep to the fold
He brought forth the Preaching Friars,
Heaven's soldiers, brave and bold
Chorus

One day in the budding order,
There was nothing left to eat,
Suddenly two angels walked in
With a load of bread and meat
Chorus

Dominique once in his slumber
Saw the Virgin's coat unfurled
Over friars without number
Preaching all around the world
Chorus

Grant us now oh Dominique
The grace of love and simple mirth
That we all may help to quicken
Godly life and truth on earth
Chorus

www.singingnun.net

Dominique, nique, nique
S'en allait tout simplement,
Routier, pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux,
Il ne parle que du Bon Dieu,
Il ne parle que du Bon Dieu

A l'époque où Jean Sans Terre, d'Angleterre était le roi
Dominique notre père, combattit les albigeois.
{au Refrain}

Certains jours un hérétique, par des ronces le conduit
Mais notre Père Dominique, par sa joie le convertit
{au Refrain}

Ni chameau, ni diligence, il parcourt l'Europe à pied
Scandinavie ou Provence, dans la sainte pauvreté
{au Refrain}

Enflamma de toute école filles et garçons pleins d'ardeur
Et pour semer la parole, inventa les Frères-Prêcheurs
{au Refrain}

Chez Dominique et ses frères, le pain s'en vint à manquer
Et deux anges se présentèrent, portant de grands pains dorés
{au Refrain}

Dominique vit en rêve, les prêcheurs du monde entier
Sous le manteau de la Vierge, en grand nombre rassemblés.
{au Refrain}

Dominique, mon bon Père, garde-nous simples et gais
Pour annoncer à nos frères, la vie et la vérité.
{au Refrain}

The price of oppressing your women

You are reading http://viridianariverstone.blogspot.com/.
Share |
I think the dominant problem is listed in the headline: the idea that someone can own another human being. By use of the possessive word, "your," all AJ has done is reinforce that concept. Women are not pleading with men to "give" us equality; that will never happen. What women need to do is support our sisters toward self-empowerment. It has nothing to do with men, directly, only on misogynistic impacts of men on women. You leave women out of the entire discussion by the very use of the headline. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem, AJ. Epic FAIL.
 
 
If you are not innumerate, you can start a business. If you are not living in mortal fear of rape and beatings at home, you can organise your community to dig a new well. If you are not subjecting your daughter to traumatic genital injury at three and marrying her off at ten, she can go to school. And, when she does marry and has children of her own, they will benefit from two educated, employed parents, which means twice as much literate conversation in the home, twice the contacts, and twice the encouragement to succeed. Educated, pushy mothers make all the difference.

As US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton put it in the Newsweek issue, "The world needs to think more strategically and creatively about tapping into women's potential for growth. Studies show that helping women access trade and grow businesses helps create jobs and boost incomes."

But on Planet Worst, forcing terrified, uneducated women to remain at home is more socially acceptable than facing the fact that this means choosing to drag down incomes for everyone. It is time to stop tiptoeing around the poorest countries' responsibility to do something essential about their own plight: Emancipate their women.

Decoy: Police Woman - Shadow of Van Gogh - Season 1, Episode 34 - Beverl...


WAY before "Cagney and Lacy"

Uploaded by on Oct 3, 2011

http://thefilmarchive.org/ DVD: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004YOEF9A/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=d...

December 12, 1958

Decoy (also titled Decoy Police Woman) is a groundbreaking American crime drama television series which was created for syndication and initially broadcast from October 14, 1957 to July 7, 1958, lasting for thirty nine 30-minute black-and-white episodes. It was the first American police series with a female protagonist.

The series starred Beverly Garland as Casey Jones, a female police officer who is often assigned to work undercover (hence becoming the "decoy" of the title). The cast changed each week with Garland the only main continuing character, although there were several recurring characters, mostly her commanding officer and immediate colleagues.

The series was inspired by Jack Webb's Dragnet and used a similar format to that series, with Jones being portrayed as a serious, by-the-book, yet sympathetic cop with no personal life outside of her job. In the episode "The Sound of Tears", she reveals that the man she loved was a police officer who was shot and killed by the man he was sent to bring in.

Decoy is of historical significance as it was the first American television series to focus on the work of a female police officer. The series also featured early performances by actors such as Larry Hagman, Peter Falk, Al Lewis and Martin Balsam. Each episode was dedicated to the Bureau of Policewomen of the New York Police Department.

Many episodes focused on females being victims of crime and most episodes ended with Garland breaking the fourth wall and speaking directly to the audience about the case just solved.

Guest stars

Notable guest stars include: Edward Asner Martin Balsam Barbara Barrie Albert Dekker Peter Falk Colleen Dewhurst Larry Hagman Don Hastings Diane Ladd Al Lewis Kay Medford Lois Nettleton Suzanne Pleshette

why is self pity so discouraged?

You are reading http://viridianariverstone.blogspot.com/.
Why does "pity" mean "compassion," but "self-pity" means "self-indulgence?"

I have a theory about this. I think language, especially language about emotions, is very androcentric. I think men decided showing compassion for one's self in a crisis is a sign of weakness, that "real men" should just suck it up. And I think women have adopted this value, as well: if we feel compassion toward ourselves, we're not tough enough for a "man's world."

I think it is absolutely essential, especially in a life-altering or -threatening crisis that we be able to give ourselves aid and show ourselves mercy. By the latter, I mean not getting trapped in guilt and self hatred.

I think the fact we are so strongly discouraged from this process of feeling compassion and mercy toward ourselves PREVENTS us from giving ourselves aid (because we think we don't deserve it) and SERIOUSLY disables us psychologically.

Therefore, I hereby call for a reclamation of the concept of self-pity. I am not calling for self-indulgence; I am calling for a gentle state in which we can heal ourselves.

pit·y
[pit-ee] Show IPA noun, plural pit·ies, verb, pit·ied, pit·y·ing.
noun
1.
sympathetic or kindly sorrow evoked b
y the suffering, distress, or misfortune of another, often leading one to give relief or aid or to show mercy: to feel pity for astarving child.
2.

EXCLUSIVE: The GOP Vagina Rules (A DC Douglas Tweak)

I awoke with a creative itch to tweak some GOP nipples today.

The last few debates for the GOP have produced some memorable moments and helped define the Republican base "personality." It seems pretty clear to most which way their hot air blows. But some independent voters might be a tad confused. Not to worry. I have created a video to help them listen "correctly" to their message.

If you know a voter who is also confused about the nominees and their intentions, please share this video with them. It's illuminating, informative and, dare I say, titillating?

Yes, kids, mama needs your help in getting this quick video "bon bon" out into the cyberverse. Tweet, fark, stumble, digg, buzz, post, email and blog it, baby! (And, yes, I am working on the talking doll version...)

Response from Potholer54 and Amenakin


As an atheist & woman, I am appalled, knowing u received abuse. I came 2 yer channel & found an independent business woman. I know this is not easy, especially in SOME religions. I cannot apologize 4 the behavior of my fellows; that's their responsibility. I will only give my heart-felt respect 2 u 4 yer efforts. I do not agree with u on lots of things, including the DMC against Potholer54. But that is no reason 4 the toxic language used toward u. Best wishes. Brilliant video.
