Enough said. 

THEY FINALLY KILLED HIM

    As the New York Times reported this morning Navalny is dead. Died? Yes, murdered, yes. I can't imagine a person proclaim his/her principles and for them subject him/herself to torture and eventual death. I greatly admire those who do, Navalny was one of those people---a hero. I hope the world will  always remember him as a righteous martyr for a free Russia. Long live his life spark. 

THE INHUMANITY OF THE EDITORS OF THE NY TIMES

I had stopped blogging for a while, a long while, as I was working on my novel, Dancing The Enemy. But somethings just get my goat too much for me to stay silent. Below is the link to the front page of digital NY Times. There is a terrible picture of a suffering boy trying not to cry somewhere in the rubbles of Gaza. And right next to it an Arab woman will teach you how to make fluffy rice every time. Really? Who are we who can look at the photo of the boy then just like that turn our attention to how to make rice? The editors of this, one of our most venerable publications, are stupid. What hope is there for the rest of human society?

TALK ABOUT ENTITLEMENT

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/22/nyregion/co-ed-swim-class-stuyvesant-high-school.html 

I haven't written in a long while, seeing how I'm in an MFA program working on a novel, but this article and the lack of space for comments, prompted me. It is the outrage I feel at these people's demands that made my fingers itch to write. 

For one, the cult of the individual has become so strong that every person expects the institutions they attend or serve tailor their values and policies to the individual's needs---that's a lot of policies.

Second, as someone who was chased out of her own country under the name of religion or the pretense of it, I'm yes, intolerant of women who choose or cower to the hijab. I often want to scream at them that we here don't want their backward, uncivilized, barbarian values and if they want to keep them, isn't it so much easier to keep them in their own barbarian, uncivilized, backward countries that they chose to leave?

Third, no one made these people come here, or enroll at Stuyvesant. You don't like its ways, go to some muslim school where you can continue to be a benighted hijabi ruled by men. 

I WONDER WHY?!

So, maybe now we can stop shaming the fat shamers, and stop catering to the fashion industry who just want to sell their ware, and admit that being fat, no not big, that is different and involves being tall and big-boned, not the same thing, but being fat isn't good for one's health. 

PLEASE DIE!

This man has been responsible for so much misery in this country and others. His leaving this earth would be a blessing to so many. Please die!

THE MULLAHS ALWAYS GET THEIR MAN

Twelve years after the Islamic revolution, the mullahs sent three assassins to kill Shapour Bakthiar, the last prime minister under the Shah and the head of The National Resistance Movement of Iran. They succeeded, along with him, they murdered a young man who served as his assistant. The killers escaped. No one was brought to justice. Now, years after the publication of the Satanic Verses, they finally get its author, Salman Rushdie. Our lesson: The mullahs never forget so don't be lulled into a sense that it's over, so much time has gone by, no one remembers anymore, no one cares anymore. Be aware!
