From Save Roe:
Rape survivor jailed, denied emergency contraception. Act Now.
“Over the past 72 hours, a 21-year-old woman in Florida was raped, jailed on an outstanding warrant (for a 2003 juvenile arrest), and blocked from taking emergency contraception because a jail worker had “religious objections” to the medication. This is an absolute outrage. ”

Recently I was doing some volunteer work and unexpectedly came out to one of the other volunteers. We were working together on a task and were making small talk. He was an older man and very timid. At first I thought it was me. I can at times be overly chatty. Soon I realized this was his general nature. He acted shy and slightly nervous to everyone he encountered. Ironic we were paired up for the project I mused.
I asked if he lived in the area and he said he and his wife had a house nearby. This led to conversation about his work. When people start talking about their jobs I start mentally reviewing my choices. When the conversation turns to what I do I have several answers I could go with. In the past I’ve come up with vague responses to working on the phone to being a counselor to being a relationship therapist. I try not to lie about my work and think of it as revealing parts of the truth.
I knew several other volunteers were aware I was a pso. This man did not. As I knew he would, he asked what I did. I told him. He looked at me with a blank expression. Then he asked again. I answered the same. I shrugged my shoulders and made a casual comment about setting my own hours. Then I went back to our shared task. He fumbled over some basic questions about the job and seemed genuinely confused when I explained the concept.
We didn’t dwell on the topic long and soon were engrossed about the volunteer project we were working on. He didn’t treat me different in any way. The entire encounter was casual, almost indifferent. I’m used to people expressing surprise and sometimes delight when I tell them. For those that disapprove even their reactions are animated. To have such a laissez faire reaction is new to me. In a way it was a pleasant surprise. What if one day saying “I’m a sex worker” is met with the same casual acceptance as “I’m a bus driver” or “I’m a physical therapist”. Will it mean we’ve gained widespread acceptance if people are no longer shocked by our work?

Today thousands and thousands marched in the streets to say End the Iraq War and NO to war in Iran. What did you see on tv? Did you see pictures of the actual crowds? Did you hear actual quotes from the speakers? Or did the mainstream media show fragments of protesters and downplay the actual numbers?
Want to see pictures of the actual protest? United for Peace and Justice has a Flickr group that is getting consistently added to. That’s where the picture above came from.
Americablog also has a good post.
Not surprisingly, BBC had better coverage the US media of the day’s events:
Mass US protest against Iraq war
In the buildup to war with Iran what most people don’t see are pictures of what life is really like there. This website has a short video showing everyday pictures of real Iranians. These are the types of people our government is trying to get us to believe are evil terrorists in their mad lust for more war, more profits, more control.

“Can you do the billing so I don’t have to get out of bed?”
-Sera, on setting up a double call with me
Sera gets up at the ungodly hour of 8am, sometimes even earlier. This was a late night call so she was sleepy. I told her I’d be happy to do the billing only if I could put her funny quote on my blog. She agreed.

From International Middle East Media Center’s site:
Israeli Knesset passes law to revoke citizenship of “unpatriotic”Israelis
“A new law passed Wednesday will allow the Israeli government to revoke the citizenship of citizens considered unpatriotic to the Jewish state of Israel. The law is expected to be applied especially to the 20% of Israeli citizens who are of Palestinian origin.
Passage of the controversial law comes just as a torrent of criticism was launched by Knesset member Ahmed Tibi against the Knesset for alleged discrimination against its Arab members. Tibi accused the Knesset of discriminatory practices, in which Arab members are required to ask permission, even to use the bathroom, while Jewish members of the Knesset are not.”
