Mazel Tov - Holy Bullies and Headless Monsters

CONGRATULATIONS ALVIN McEWEN!

The fantastic blog Holy Bullies and Headless Monsters  has been nominated for a THIRD TIME in the GLAAD Media Awards.

Alvin's blog is one of my daily must reads (link in sidebar) and the one I go to for reliable, timely and accurate reporting on those people and organisations for whom the LGBT community is their target.

Many blessings and prayers that he wins this year.

Go to his blog.  It is informative and fabulous.

Just like Alvin.

Blessings my friend.

Truth Tuesday - Trump

I worked in mental health during the '90's for a short time.
One of the many wonderful discussions I had with the District Psychiatrist was one of sociopathy.
We had a nurse that we were both rather concerned about.  She had all the flags of sociopathy.
Both of us prayed that she wouldn't go postal on a school visit.

The situation with Hair Furor is the same. Trump has EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN FLAG of being a sociopath.  Every.  One.   And we now have dozens of mental health professionals publicly saying it.

THIS.....is the thing we should be absolutely terrified of.

A sociopath is in the White House.

A sociopath is running the United States of America.

A sociopath is coming after every group that is different to his Nazi staff.

A sociopath is one command away from the Nuclear Football.

Be.  Terrified.   Be.   Engaged.

Communicate with your local Senators and Representatives.

HOUND THEM.

We can not be complacent.

PS the meaning is below.

so·ci·o·path
ˈsōsēōˌpaTH/
noun
  1. a person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and a lack of conscience.

Reince Priebus - WeUsedToShootNazis

Reince Priebus sounds like the whiny kid in the class that is always complaining in that totally nasally "gee I want to punch that kid out" way.

RIP Barbara Hale

I used to love watching the reruns of Perry Mason.  Della Street - played brilliantly by Barbara Hale - was sassy and strong.

Please be upstanding, an actress has departed the stage.

FL Teens Planned School Shooting

I lived in Florida for two years.  I never met anyone that I'd call a crazy but clearly they are there.

I do not get it.

(CNN)Two central Florida teens were arrested Thursday on suspicion of planning to commit a mass shooting at their middle school the next day -- an alleged plot that came to light through rumors circulating among students, authorities said.
The boys, 13 and 14, were arrested at their homes. They're accused of planning to open fire Friday at The Villages Charter Middle School near the city of Wildwood, the Sumter County Sheriff's Office said.
    Officials investigating the rumors learned that some students had been warned not to come to school on Friday, according to the sherrif's office.

      In talks with investigators, both suspects admitted to talking about the plan, and both mentioned the deadly 1999 mass shooting at Colorado's Columbine High School, a massacre that happened a few years before either of the teens was born, the sheriff's office said.
      No information was released by the sheriff's office about a motive for the alleged plot or details about the context in which the students allegedly mentioned the Columbine shooting.
      "The Sumter County Sheriff's Office is grateful for those students brave enough to speak out about the plot. Their heroic actions may have prevented a deadly tragedy and loss of precious lives," the office said in a statement.
      The teens, whose names have not been released, have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder and were put into the custody of the state's juvenile justice department, the sheriff's office said.

      Police: Firearms found at homes, not at school

      The investigation began after classes on Tuesday, when officials and a police officer assigned to the school learned of the rumors, the sheriff's office said.
      After determining a 13-year-old boy was accused of planning the attack, authorities stopped him as he arrived for school on Wednesday. The boy acknowledged conversations about the alleged plot, and referenced Columbine, according to the sheriff's office.
      Officials learned about a 14-year-old boy's potential involvement during that conversation, and found him on campus. The older student "acknowledged his involvement in conversations with the 13-year-old student again referencing the Columbine shooting," the sheriff's office said.
      "The student informed officials that the two students had planned an attack which included what they would use as a signal to open fire," the sheriff's office said in the news release.
      Investigators found no weapons on the students or in their bags or school lockers. But authorities found firearms in a search of their homes on Thursday, according to the sheriff's office.
      Authorities have not said who owned the weapons.
      Both teens were arrested Thursday -- the 13-year old at his home in Fruitland Park, and the other teen at his home in Wildwood, the sheriff's office said. Wildwood is about 45 minutes northwest of Orlando.

      Increased deputy presence at school

      Classes are being held Friday as scheduled, and more sheriff's deputies than usual will be on campus, the school's education director, Randy McDaniel, said in a letter to parents.
      He said officials determined that no one was ever in imminent danger.
      "We ... will do our best to conduct a normal school day (Friday)," McDaniel said in the letter. "... Obviously, student safety is our number one concern. We believe Friday's school day will go well, but as is always the case, we respect any parent's decision regarding their own children's attendance."

      Star Trek : Discovery




      I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THIS!

      A new Star Trek series is coming to TV and it seems AWESOME, certainly if the casting is anything to go by.




      Sonequa Martin-Green as Rainsford: The lieutenant commander of the USS Discovery, referred to as "Number One".[6][7] The decision to not make the series' protagonist a starship captain, like those of previous Star Trek series, was made "to see a character from a different perspective on the starship—one who has different dynamic relationships with a captain, with subordinates, it gave us richer context".[3] The decision to call her Number One was made in honor of the character of the same name portrayed by Majel Barrett in the original Star Trek pilot "The Cage". The character was initially pitched to CBS as only being called Number One in the series.





      Doug Jones as Saru: A Science Officer serving as a lieutenant aboard the Discovery.[8] Jones, portraying a member of a species created for the series, was excited that he was able to, "from the ground up, develop and find this character and his species" and not have to honor a previous fan-favorite representation.





      GAY CHARACTER ALERT!!!!     Anthony Rapp as Stamets: A Science Officer specializing in astromycology (the study of fungi in space).




      Michelle Yeoh as Georgiou: Captain of the USS Shenzhou.





      Chris Obi as T'Kuvma: A Klingon leader who is looking to unite the Klingon houses.






      Shazad Latif as Kol: Commanding Officer of the Klingons,[11] and protege of T'Kuvma.







      Mary Chieffo as L'Rell: Battle Deck Commander of the Klingon ship.






      James Frain as Sarek: A Vulcan astrophysicist, and the father of Spock. Frain appears as a younger version of the character who was first portrayed by Mark Lenard in the original Star Trek series.


      The premise.  The point of view that isn't the captain.  MICHELLE FUCKING YEOH!!!!   Doug Jones - who I adore.  This is going to be really impressive.  It launches July 2017.

      Here's a look at the ship.

      Enjoy!
