My nephew is a sweet kid, 16 years old, and a proverbial heart of gold.  He loves the Rocky movies, and walks around the house in a Hef-life silk robe.  He's a character.  He's ADHD and in learning support.  He bears a striking resemblance to Screech

I learned all about feminism from my friend Ana Casian Lakos. She told me about racism, classism, priviliege, and why they're bad ( Read more... )

From a website on Workplace Bullying:

TargetsThe common stereotype of a bullied person is someone who is weak, an oddball or a loner. On the contrary, the target chosen by an adult bully will very often be a capable, dedicated staff member, well liked by co-workers. Bullies are most likely to pick on people with an ability to cooperate and a non- ( Read more... )

Funny how I never blogged about this when it happened: a year ago, my co-worker Don-Marie (a much older woman), abruptly began bullying me. She seemed obsessed with the necklines on the shirts I wore, saying they were too low and "provocative".

I deleted this as someone managed to post this somewhere and make a mockery of it.

Is anyone interested in becoming the maintainer of this community?

I haven't had the time to put in to lately, and as it is not being used very much will probably delete it if no one else wants to keep it going...

Hmmm... I have sort of a problem with bullying. See, my little brother is one of the ignorant jock types, always calling me gay or fag or nerd or dork or ugly or pathetic. I really don't know how to respond to it. Wit doesn't work because he's too dull to recognize it, and even though I can totally tear him apart, I can't because he's tiny and weak ( Read more... )
