Wonder what happened to Dogemperor
I haven't heard or seen anything connected with Dogemperor in a LONG time. I just wonder how she's doing.
I'd sent a couple of emails but never got a response. I hope she's still alive and doing well. I thought of her as a friend and hope the best for her and hers.
With the exception of a couple of people on Talk2Action, it seems that the battle against dominionism has ended and most of the people I knew have vanished (except for a couple - and one of them is an asshole who denigrated Native Americans a few times and got called on it). Maybe that's why things have gotten so much worse in this hellhole. I can't fight any more - the violence and stalking we've gone through was too much. Even though one of the people I knew directly and personally involved with the stalking and harassment (a big-name dominionist and owner of dominionist/right wing radio stations in the "Christian Broadcasting Network") died recently (in the past couple of months, which caused a sense of relief in both of us), I still feel frightened to go out in public or to speak my mind. I no longer write letters to the editor because (1) they have a policy against protecting one's identity unless you can PROVE your life will be in danger (and they don't believe churches can be dangerous or as evil as most really are), and (2) the cost to us and to those we love has been too much. I love our kitties and loosing them to poison is just too painful. I don't want to experience any more arson, or worse - maybe even an attempt to kill us (I wouldn't put it past the "Good Christians" in this area).
It's hard to fight when everyone around you either doesn't believe you, or worse denounces you for "opposing God". Yet I can't give in either. That conflict alone creates stress.
