ezs note: Um, "Bishop" Paprocki, just a thought - perhaps it would've been best to do the witch doctor ceremonies before the vote was taken. Wouldn't have hurt, anyway.
On so many levels, what a dumbass.

238 Trans People Murdered Worldwide In The Past Year
J. Lester Feder
http://www.buzzfeed.com/
(kind thanks to http://holybulliesandheadlessmonsters.blogspot.ca/)
*more here*
ezs note: 238 people. That's a lot of people.
But think about it for a minute. No listing for Russia. No listing for China. No listing for Mongolia. No listing for all of Africa! And the list goes on.
In case you haven't figured it out yet, this has nothing to do with some sort of transgender paradise. If you add the unreported countries, and then add those countries who are reporting,but have police who are uncaring, my guess would be well over 1,000 innocent PEOPLE.
In the meantime, for those whose names are listed, I ask you to do one thing:
REMEMBER!!

Typhoon Haiyan
Credit: http://static.guim.co.uk
By now, those of us in the West have likely heard of typhoons before, especially in the Philippines.In the past, Filipinos have dusted themselves off, made the necessary repairs, and moved on with life. These are strong people.
Typhoon Haiyan is no ordinary typhoon, though - not by a long shot.
Here in the Eastern United States, we would typically see hurricane winds of 100 mph). We occasionally would see winds gust to 125 mph. These were generally not sustained, though.
Typhoon Haiyan had sustained winds of 225 mph, and these hit the Philippines directly. Nothing in recorded history matched this.
Please, whether it's a little or a lot, make a donation to rebuild the destroyed homes, feed the hungry, and make the lives of our Filipino friends a bit better. The addresses are below.

ezs note: According to reports, Richard Thomas allegedly set Luke Sasha Fleishman ON FIRE. That is beyond sickening, and if it fails to make you call or e-write your local DA, I am at a loss to what will. Call or e-write TODAY.
Also, if you wish to donate to Fleishman's family to defray medical expenses, go to fundly.com. Thanks.

New blogpaper up!
On November 6, I finally put up a new blogpaper. I really like it a lot better. The title of each section is a lot larger, and the typeface is much more attractive. The "Comment" section is bolder, and uses a different color which makes commentary by you far easier. Plus, I like pink!
As always, you are more than welcome to send your comments and questions to me. Thanks.
